RESIDuAL HEAT INDICATORS
The hob also features 4 warning lamps which
are wired to the corresponding plate.
When the temperature of a cooking plate is
over 60°C, the relevant warning lamp is also
lit-up to warn of heat on the surface of the
hob.
These lamps also stay on after the cooking
plates have been switched off to shown that
the hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat will lasts for a long time af-
ter the cooking plate has been switched off.
During this time you should avoid touching
the hob surface over the cooking area.
Please pay special attention to ensure that
children are not allowed near the hob.
The lamps will switch off automatically as
soon as the surface temperature of the coo-
king zone falls below 60°C.
COOKING HINTS
To reduce the cooking time, you can
•
turn the control knob to the max when
you switch the plate on. After a short
time you will set the control knob to the
required position for the cooking.
You should use pots and pans with
•
flat bases (pans with the test mark for
glass-ceramic hobs are available from
specialist shops).
The diameter of the pan should match
•
that of the cooking plate (or be slightly
bigger) to make the most of the energy.
Since the cooking surface stays hot for
•
a certain time after the plate has been
switched off, you can switch it off 5 or 10
minutes before the end of the cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will com-
plete the cooking.
To save electricity, use pan lids whene-
•
ver possible.
Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic cooktop, but in special
pans or containers.
wARNING: Hobs become very hot
with use, and retain their heat for a
long time after cooking has finished
(about 30 minutes).
Children should be supervised at all
times and be prevented from tou-
ching the hot surfaces, until such
time as the appliance has cooled.
