4. USE OF HOB
4.1 Hob controls
Heating Zones
The heating zones are controlled by a 6
position knob.
The heating zones is operated by turning
the control knob to the required setting.
Near each control knob is a symbol which
indicates the heater that is controlled by
that knob. The on/off light on the control
panel will show if any of the heating
zones are in use.

Important:
The knob rotation
direction may differ according to the
product specification.
Dual and Oval Heaters (if available)
Dual and oval heaters have two heating
zones. To activate the outer zone of a dual/
oval heater, turn the knob to position.
Both outer zones will switch on.
To deactivate the outer zone of a dual/oval
heater, turn the knob to the ‘Off’ position.
Both outer zones will switch off.
Residual Heat Indicator (if available)
After using the hob there will be heat
stored in the vitroceramic glass called
residual heat. If the residual heat level is
greater than +60°C, the residual heat
indicator will be active for the heating zone
which is above this temperature.
If the power supply to the hob is
disconnected while the residual heat
indicator is on, the warning light will flash
when the power is reconnected. The
display will flash until the residual heat has
decreased or until one of the heating zones
is activated.
Hints and Tips
Important:
When heating zones are
operated in higher heat settings, the
zones may be seen switching
on and off. This is due to a safety device
which prevents the glass from overheating.
This is normal at high temperatures,
causing no damage to the hob and little
delay in cooking times.
WARNING:
•
Never operate the hob without
pans on the heating zone.
•
Use only flat saucepans with a
sufficiently thick base.
•
Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry
before placing it on the hob.
•
While the heating zone is in operation,
it is important to ensure that the pan is
centred correctly above the zone.
•
In order to conserve energy, never use
a pan with a different diameter to the
heating zone being used.

•
Do not use pans with rough bottoms
since these can scratch the glass
ceramic surface.
•
If possible, always place lids on the
pans.
•
The temperature of accessible parts
may become high while the hob is
operating. Keep children and animals
