When you have finished cooking, make sure that you turn
the control knob to the OFF position (“0”).
Residual heat indicator
o
The residual heat indicator is located above the control knobs.
o
After a zone is switched off, the corresponding cooking
zone residual heat indicator will illuminate. This means that
the temperature of the zone is over 50°C and is therefore
still high enough to cause injury.
o
The residual heat indicator will go out after the temperature of the
zone falls below 50°C.
o
IMPORTANT:
The residual heat indicator will disappear if the
mains supply to the product is cut.
o
IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO BURN YOURSELF ON A HOB ZONE,
EVEN WHEN THE RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR HAS GONE
OUT. USE CAUTION WHEN USING THE HOB.
Cooktop guidelines
o
The first few times the cooktop is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
o
The cooktop surface is fitted with cooking areas of different
diametre and power.
o
The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked
on the cooktop. 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 cooktop.
This will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
