Ceramic Hob
WARNING! If any crack should appear on the hob, isolate the cooker
immediately from the mains supply. Never use any part of the
cooker but contact your Belling Service Agent.
Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium
foil in contact with the hob surface, as damage will occur.
The following boiling plates are located beneath the decorative
circular patterned cooking areas:
Front Left 1.2kW Fastlite
Rear Left 1.5kW Fastlite
Rear Right 1.2kW Fastlite
Front Right 1.8kW Fastlite or Halogen
The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red)
indicating which heating element is energised. The cooking area
returns to its original colour when the heating element is switched
off and cools.
Halogen elements use a lamp and an inner heating coil together. As the
halogen lamp is very bright when lit, the inner coil may appear duller (i.e.
not working); this is normal and the element is working properly.
Even though the cooking area has returned to its original colour it may still
be hot.
This will operate soon after any of the four boiling plate controls
are turned on, and will remain illuminated until the ceramic surface
has cooled.
Fastlite hotplates:- The controls set the hotplates at six pre-set power
indicator levels indicated by the numbered markings. (1 is the minimum
and 6 is the maximum setting)
The hotplate will be off at the ‘O’ position.
To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the knob to a
lower setting which will vary according to size and type of saucepan, the
amount and type of food, and whether or not a lid is fitted. 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.
