Heating only occurs within the marked circular
cooking zones. The zones heat up and cool down
quicker, providing greater controllability for sensitive
foods.
E
ach heating zone is equipped with a thermal
limiter which is a safety cut
-
out which prevents the
ceramic glass from overheating. After several
minutes at full power without a pan on the heating
zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating
elements off and on automatically to avoid any
damage to the ceramic glass.
Choice
of
saucepans
It is essential that the saucepan's you use on the
ceramic hob are suitable.
ALWA
Y
S
USE:
•
Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy
bases.
•
saucepan's manufactured from aluminium
(enamelled or machined) or stainless steel.
•
C
orrect size saucepan's. The base of the pan
must cover the heating zone completely.
•
saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to
reduce cooking time and energy use.
NE
V
ER
USE:
•
Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as
these will extend cooking times, waste electricity
and cause damaging, local hotspots on the
glass surface.
•
Pans with ridged or recessed bases.
•
Pans with damaged or rough bases which could
scratch the glass surface.
•
Glass or glass ceramic utensils.
D
o
Not
In
order
to
keep
your
ceramic
hob
in
good
condition,
follow
these
simple
guidelines:
Do not
stare at halogen heating units.
Do not
cook directly on the hob surface without a
cooking utensil, as this will result in damage
to the surface of the hob.
Do not
use the hob as a worktop surface as
damage may occur to the smooth surface of
the hob.
Do not
drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as
this will cause scratches in the surface of the
hob.
Do not
allow a cooking utensil to come into contact
with the hob surround.
Do not
place anything between the base
of the utensil and the ceramic
hob, e.g. do not use asbestos
mats, aluminium or wok stand.
Do not
leave any utensils, food or combustible
items on the hob when it is not in use.
Do not
place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic
containers on the hob.
Do not
leave the hotplates or cooking areas
switched On unless they are being used.
Do not
leave heating zones uncovered when they
are switched On. We recommend not to
place large preserving pans or fish kettles
across two heating areas.
Do not
leave utensils partly covering the
heated areas. Always ensure that
they are placed centrally over the
heated areas and have the same
diameter as the heating area used.
Do
Always
ensure that the bottom of the pan is both
clean and dry. Dirt or moisture between the
pan and the hob can cause pitting of the
surface of the glass.
