THE CERAMIC HOB
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
•
To operate the hotplates, turn the control knob in
either direction to vary the heat 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.
NOTE:
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.
