Ceramic hob cooking zones
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the relevant control
knob clockwise to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 - 3
0 - OFF
3 - Maximum.
The hob has two types of cooking zones:
2 normal cooking zones (back left and front
right)
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (3)
for a short while to boost the cooking zone, and then
adjusted to the required setting.
2 double circuit cooking zones (back right and
front left)
The back right and front left cooking zones have two
heating elements.
- To switch on the smaller circular cooking zone, turn
the relevant control knob clockwise to the required
heat setting.
- To switch on both heating elements, turn the control
knob clockwise to maximum heat setting (3) then
turn the knob further to nearly reach the "0" symbol.
You will hear a "click" and the wider cooking zone
will switch on.
Then turn back the knob to position 3
and adjust
it to the required heat setting.
Please consider that the two heating elements will now
operate together, giving a higher power output than a
normal cooking zone.
Residual heat indicators
The hob is fitted with four residual heat indicators
corresponding to each cooking zone.
The corresponding indicator will remain on until the
temperature falls below 30° C, even after the cooking
zone is switched off.
When switch on a cooking zone, a short buzzing
may be heard. This is quite normal and does
not affect the hob operation in any way.
