Warning: Do not use the appliance
if the hob glass surface is cracked. To
avoid the possibility of electric shock,
turn off the electricity supply to the hob
at the control unit (socket) and arrange
a service call.
Before using the hob for the
first time, refer to the Care and
Maintenance section on page
25.
To switch on the hob
Turn the hotplate selected control
clockwise to the required setting. To
switch off, return to the “off” position.
The hot hob light
The hot hob light comes on when one
of the hotplates is switched on, and
stays on for a short while after the last
hotplate is switched off to indicate that
the hob may still be warm.
Important:
G Do not use the ceramic glass hob
as a work surface or chopping
board, as it will damage it, and if
any plastic utensils come into
contact with a warm hob, they
may melt onto it.
G Do not
use the ceramic hotplate
surface for storage.
G As pans are on a smooth surface,
they will move easily if knocked
accidentally; turning pan handles
so they are not overhanging the
edge of the hob, will help prevent
this happening, and keep them out
of the reach of children.
G
Be careful when cooking foods in
salted water, cooking oils / fats,
or foods containing large
amounts of sugar or syrup.
If
they are spilt onto hot areas of the
hob they may damage it.
Use pans which are large enough
to avoid overflows onto the
ceramic glass hob.
G Lift pans onto and off the hob, rather
than sliding them across the surface,
to avoid marks and scratches.
G Aluminium foil must not
be placed
on the hob as it will reflect any
heat back into the element, which
can damage it.
G Leaving a hotplate on for a length
of time, without it being covered
by a pan, can cause overheating
of surrounding areas which could
damage the glass.
