Ceramic Hob

The Working of the Heating Zones
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.

Choice of saucepan's
It is essential that the saucepan's you use on the
ceramic hob are suitable.

ALWAYS USE:

•

Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.

•

saucepan's manufactured from aluminium

(enamelled or machined) or stainless steel.

•

Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan must

cover the heating zone completely.

•

saucepan's with lids which are well fitting 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.

Do Not

In order to keep your ceramic hob in good
condition, follow these simple guidelines:

Do not

stare at halogen heating units.

Do not

cook directly on the hob surface without a
cooking utensil, as this will result in damage to
the surface of the hob.

Do not

use the hob as a worktop surface as damage
may occur to the smooth surface of the hob.

Do not

drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as
this will cause scratches in the surface of the
hob.

Do not

allow a cooking utensil to come into contact
with the hob surround.

Do not

place anything between the base of the utensil
and the ceramic hob, e.g. do not
use asbestos mats, aluminium or
wok stand.

Do not

leave any utensils, food or combustible items
on the hob when it is not in use.

Do not

place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic
containers on the hob.

Do not

leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched
On unless they are being used.

Do not

leave heating zones uncovered when they are
switched On. We recommend not to place
large preserving pans or fish kettles across
two heating areas.

Do not

leave utensils partly covering the heated
areas. Always ensure that they are
placed centrally over the heated
areas and have the same diameter
as the heating area used.
