Ceramic Hob
CAUTION: AS SOON AS ANY CRACK IN 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.
Under no circumstances place plastic vessels or utensils on a hot hob
surface.
Under no circumstances use the hob as an area for storage.
The following ceramic heaters are located beneath the circular
cooking areas:–
Front Right –
1200w
Rear Right
–
1800w
Rear Left
–
1200w
Front Left
–
1800w
The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red) indicating
which heating element is turned on. The cooking area returns to its
original colour when the heating element is switched
OFF and cools.
When the control is turned from the O position, the numbers on the
control panel around the knob will show settings of 1–7, 7 is the highest
setting, for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or
simmer, turn the knob to a lower setting which will vary according to
size and type of saucepan, the amount and type of food, and whether
or not the lid is fitted. 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
overheating, safety cut-outs have been incorporated with each element.
After several minutes with the control at setting
7, 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.
Settings
1 to 4 provide inputs of 8% to 40% for simmering.
The control will be
Off when O shows on the control panel.
If hob should become cracked,
Do not use until repaired.
