The ceramic hob
The ceramic hob has four cooking areas (heating zones).
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.
If you have a 230-volt cooker, you cannot use the rear
left heating zone at the same time as the oven Swift Start
function. The cooker has an electrical interlock to prevent
a circuit overload.
The hot-hob warning device has four lights. A heating
zone light will remain on, even after the heating zone
control has been switched off, until the heating zone
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 conductors. Disconnect the cooker and con-
tact your service 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.
