Switching off automatic pre-heating
o
To switch off the automatic pre-heating mode, you firstly
need to make sure that the zone you wish to take out of this
mode is selected. You do this by pressing the corresponding
cooking zone selection button
(2
).
o
A decimal point symbol
(3)
will appear to show that the zone
is active.
o
Press the minus button
(8)
and hold it for ten seconds. The
automatic pre-heating mode will then be cancelled and you
can use the hob in normal operation once more.
o
Please note that switching off automatic pre-heating will not
switch off the zone, it will still be necessary for you to do this
manually.
Hob guidelines
o
The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
o
The worktop is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre
and power.
o
The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked
on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on
these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the
same diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
o
You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
o
Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are
clean and dry.
o
When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as
they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This
will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
o
The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of
enameled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich
type bottoms.
o
If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of
heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread
to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.
