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.
Rear Left Dual Circuit hotplate (model C367E only):
This is a dual purpose hotplate with two elements. The settings on the
glass control panel will show 1 - 4 when the control knob is turned
clockwise to indicate that the whole hotplate is turned on and can be
used for a larger pan, 4 is the highest setting. With the control knob
turned anti-clockwise the settings on the glass control panel will show
1 - 4 to indicate that only the inner part of the hotplate is switched on.
This is an energy saving feature and is useful for cooking with smaller
pans or for simmering. The control will be OFF when the control knob is
turned to the O position.
It is essential that the saucepans you use on the ceramic hob are
suitable.
ALWAYS USE:
Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.
Saucepans manufactured from aluminium (enamelled or
machined) or stainless steel.
Correct size saucepans. The base of the pan must cover the
heating zone completely.
Saucepans with lids which are well fitted 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.
