Using the Ceramic Hob
WARNING: IF THE SURFACE IS CRACKED, SWITCH OFF THE APPLIANCE TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK, FOR HOB SURFACES OF GLASS-CERAMIC OR SIMILAR MATERIAL WHICH PROTECT
LIVE PARTS.
The Working of the Heating Zones
Heating only occurs within the marked circular cooking
zones. The zones heat up and cool down quicker,
providing greater controllability for sensitive foods.
Each 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.
The HOT HOB indicator light:
This indicates that the temperature of the
corresponding cooking zone is greater than 60°C,
even when the heating element has been switched off
but is still hot.
Choice of saucepans
It is essential that the saucepan’s you use on the
ceramic hob are suitable.
ALWAYS USE:
Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.
saucepan's manufactured from aluminium
(enamelled or machined) or stainless steel.
Correct 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.
NEVER 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.
Do Not
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good
condition, follow these simple guidelines:
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.
