Ceramic Hob
CAUTION: IF AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE SURFACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE
IMMEDIATELY FROM THE SUPPLY.
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface as damage can
occur.
The following boiling plates are located beneath the decorative circular patterned cooking areas:-
Front left 6 heat: 1200W
Rear left 6 heat: 1700W
Rear right 6 heat: 1200W
Front right 6 heat: 1700W
The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red) indicating which heating element is switched on. The
cooking area returns to its original colour when the heating element is switched
Off.
Warning:
Even though the cooking area has returned to its original colour it may still be hot.
The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either direction.
Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower
setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid.
Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the panel when cooking is finished and before serving food. It is
inadvisable at any time to leave a heating element switched on without a pan in position as this wastes energy, and
could make soil or rub-off from aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect elements against over-heating,
safety cut-outs have been incorporated with each element. After several minutes with the control at setting 6 the
safety cut-out switches the element
Off
and
On
continuously, thus preventing any adverse effects that may be
caused by an excessive build-up of heat in the cooking area.
Use of Hotplates
Note:
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.
Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting according to
the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid. The two small Hotplates are specially for smaller pans, low
temperature cooking and simmering.
Do Not
leave a hotplate switched on without a pan as this wastes energy and may shorten the life of the hotplate.
