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.
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.
