The ceramic hob
The ceramic hob has four cooking areas (hotplates). Even
with the control still turned on during cooking, these areas
may be seen to switch off and on at intervals, depending
partly on the heat setting used. This switching can also occur
with the control turned to its maximum setting, to prevent
overheating.
The hot-hob warning device has four lights. A hotplate
light will remain on, even after the hotplate control has been
switched off, until the hotplate temperature falls below about
55°C.
The glass of the hob is resistant to heat, cold and rapid
temperature changes, but it is vulnerable to impact. A
pepper mill falling on the hob could crack it. Never stand
or put heavy loads on the hob, or use it as a storage space.
Using the hob
NEVER USE THE CERAMIC HOB IF IT IS CRACKED
. Water
from spillages could seep through to the live con-
ductors. Disconnect the cooker and contact your ser-
vice centre to have the cooker repaired. Use the
scraper to remove immediately (while the hob is
still warm) spilt sugar or syrups (e.g. jam), and
melted plastics and foil. These can damage the hob
if left. Never leave the cooker unattended while
deep fat frying, melting fats, paraffin wax or other
flammable substances. In the event of a fire, turn off
all the controls and the cooker hood fan.

The heating zone controls are graduated from 0 to 12
(12 is the hottest). They can be turned both clockwise
and anticlockwise.

1
Turn the control for the heating zone you are
going to use.
