Use
The ceramic hob
The ceramic glass hob is resistant to all
temperature shocks. Neither the heat or the
cold will damage the hob. On the glass work
surface the 4 cooking zones are indicated by a
circle. The base of the pan should correspond
with this circle.
Single cooking zone
The switch has 11 settings, you can also
select any setting in between.
Operating control light
Depending on the model and design a control
light is situated on either the hob itself or on
the switch/control panel of the combi-oven.
This light indicates that one or more cooking
zones are in use.
Residual heat indication
Once a cooking zone has been switched on
and a temperature of approx. 60 °C has been
reached a light goes on. This light will burn as
long as the zone remains hot. Once the zone
has cooled down the light automatically
goes off.
Pans
Use the hob for cooking only. A grain of sand
can cause a scratch that cannot be removed.
Do not slide pans across the hob surface and
do not clean vegetables on it (see fig. 1).
Use pans that are suitable for cooking by
electricity. Place only pans with a clean dry
base on the hob zones. This will prevent
marking by lime-scale or other stains that are
difficult to remove.
Do not use pans that are smaller than the
cooking zone. This will prevent food spills on
the very hot cooking zone. Burnt-on food spills
are difficult to remove (see fig. 2).
Pans which have previously been used on gas
hobs are no longer suitable for electric
cooking. Make sure that both the base of the
pan and the hob are dry. Always use a lid
during cooking to minimise the loss of energy.
USE
Things to watch for
■
The appliance should only be connected by
a qualified fitter (see electrical
connection).
■
Disconnect the appliance before starting
with cleaning or reparation. Preferably by
taking the plug out of the socket or by
turning off the mains switch.
■
Be careful when you are using
earthenware, glass or metal objects above
the cooking surface. A dropped herb jar,
for example, can cause a crack.
■
If a crack appears in the hob surface you
must switch off or disconnect the
appliance from the mains. Do not use the
appliance anymore and get in touch with
the Service department.
■
This cooking appliance is designed for
domestic use. Do not use the appliance for
any purpose other than food preparation.
■
When cooking the hob becomes hot,
children should always be kept at a
distance.
■
The cooking surface must not be used for
storage.
■
Plastic or aluminium foil should never be
used as a container for the preparation of
dishes (for example aluminium deepfreeze
containers). Plastic and aluminium foil will
melt and stick to your hob and can never
be removed.
■
Grease and oil are flammable when over-
heated. Stay near the cooker when
preparing dishes.
■
Cords to electrical appliances – e.g. a
mixer – may accidentally touch the
cooking zones.
■
The zones must not be used without pans.
Never put aluminium foil directly on the
zone.
■
Do not place any inflammable or
deformable objects immediately under the
hob.
■
Clean the hob with soapy water. We advise
you to treat the glass plate with Collo Profi
before using your hob for the first time (see
section on maintenance).
