Using The Ceramic Hob
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.
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 hotplates are located beneath patterned cooking areas:
The left front ceramic hotplate is rated at 1.65/1.8kW Fastlite.
The left rear ceramic hotplate is rated at 1.38/1.5kW Fastlite.
The right rear dual ceramic hotplate is rated at 2.2/2.4kW (1.38/1.5kW Part)
The right front ceramic hotplate is rated at 1.2kW.
The extreme right warming zone element is rated at 0.190kW
The ceramic hotplate cooking areas change colour when heated (become red)
indicating which element is energised. The cooking area returns to its original
colour when the element is switched off and cools.
Warning Even though the cooking area has returned to its original colour it may still be
hot.
Hob Hot Light This will operate soon after any of the four ceramic hotplate controls have been
turned on and will remain illuminated until the ceramic surface has cooled.
Warning! The warming zone area is not linked to the hob hot light. This
area may still be hot when the hob hot light has switched off.
Hotplate Controls The control provides fully variable heat control selecting any number between
(Single Circuit) 1 (Minimum) and 6 (Maximum).
Hotplate Control The control provides fully variable heat control selecting any number between
(Dual Circuit) 1 (Minimum) and 5 (Maximum) on both “Full” and “Reduced power”.
Use of Controls 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 of 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
cutouts have been incorporated with each element. After several minutes with the
control at maximum setting the safety cutout 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. The hotplate will be off when the
knob is at position ‘0’.
