RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS
The hob also features 4 warning lamps which
are wired to the corresponding plate.
When the temperature of a cooking plate is
over 60°C, the relevant warning lamp is also lit-
up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.
These lamps also stay on after the cooking
plates have been switched off to shown that
the hob surface is still hot.
COOKING HINTS
– To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when you
switch the plate on. After a short time you will set the control knob to the required
position for the cooking.
– You should use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for glass-
ceramic hobs are available from specialist shops).
– The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger)
to make the most of the energy.
– Since the cooking surface stays hot for a certain time after the plate has been
switched off, you can switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking.
The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking.
– To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.
WARNING:
Hobs become very hot with use, and retain their heat for a long time
after cooking has finished (about 30 minutes).
Children should be supervised at all times and be prevented from touching the
hot surfaces, until such time as the appliance has cooled.
Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop, but in special pans
or containers.
Fig. 2.6
This residual heat will lasts for a long time after the cooking plate has been switched off.
During this time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the
cooking area.
Please pay special attention to ensure that children are not allowed near
the hob.
The lamps will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cook-
ing zone falls below 60°C.
