The hob
WARNING!
Do not use the appliance if the ceramic glass
is damaged. If a fault or crack becomes
visible, disconnect the appliance
immediately from the electricity supply and
contact your local service force centre.
Using the hob
Turn the hob control
knob to the required
setting.
The highest number represents the hottest
setting and the lowest number represents the
coolest setting. Choose a setting appropriate to
the quantity and type of food to be cooked.
Recommended saucepans
• Only saucepans with flat bases and close fitting
lids are recommended. The saucepan base
should be approximately the same size as the
cooking area.
• Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed
to remove edges and take off any deposits left
from manufacture.
• Traditional round-bottomed Woks must not be
used even with a stand. Woks with flat-
bottomed bases are available and do comply
with the above recommendations.
IMPORTANT!
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen
to switch on and off when higher heat
settings are being used. This is due to a
safety device, which prevents the glass from
overheating.
•
Some switching on and off when cooking at
high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite
normal, causes no damage to the hob and little
delay in cooking times.
• Excessive switching may however be caused
by the use of an unsuitable saucepan or a
saucepan which is smaller than the heated
area. If excessive switching occurs,
discontinue use of the saucepan.
Hints and tips when using the
hob
•
Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and
metal marks from saucepans with aluminium
bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off
providing they are not allowed to burn on.
• Follow any guidelines provided by the
saucepan manufacturer, particularly those
relating to recommended heat settings.
• Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should
not be used.
