Hob controls
Each cooking zone is operated by a 6
position knob placed on the control panel
of the built in oven .
The ceramic heater is operated by turning
the control knob to the required setting.
Near each control knob there is a symbol
which indicates the cooking zone that is
controlled by that knob. The on/off light
on the control panel will show if any of
the ceramic heaters are in use.
On each control knob the heater levels
are indicated by numbers. The functions
of each position number is explained in

hints and Tips
Important: When ceramic heaters are op-
erated in higher heat settings, the heated
areas may be seen switching on and off.
This is due to a safety device which
prevents the glass from overheating.
This is normal at high temperatures, caus-
ing no damage to the hob and little delay
in cooking times.
