Ceramic Hob (EW42, EW45 & EW52)
15
CAUTION: IF AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE SURFACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE
APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE SUPPLY.
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob
surface as damage can occur.
The following boiling plates are located beneath the decorative circular patterned cooking
areas:-
Front left 6 heat 1800W
Rear left 6 heat 1200W
Rear right 6 heat 1800W
Front right 6 heat 1200W
The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red) indicating which heating element is
switched on. The cooking area returns to its original colour when the heating element is switched
Off.
Warning: Even though the cooking area has returned to its original colour it may still be hot.
The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either direction.
Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the
control to a lower setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid.
Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the panel when cooking is finished and before serving
food. It is inadvisable at any time to leave a heating element switched on without a pan in position
as this wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from aluminium pans more difficult to
remove. To protect elements against over-heating, safety cut-outs have been incorporated with
each element. After several minutes with the control at setting 6 the safety cut-out switches the
element Off and On continuously, thus preventing any adverse effects that may be caused by an
excessive build-up of heat in the cooking area.
