To turn the ceramic hob off you shall unlock the hob first for the next function.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS
After a zone is switched off, the corresponding cooking zone will show an “H” in the
control panel.
This means that the temperature of the zone is over
50°C and is therefore still high enough to cause injury.
The residual heat indicator will go out after the temperature of the zone falls below
50°C.
IMPORTANT:
The residual heat indicator will disappear if the mains supply to the
product is cut.
Warning!
It is still possible to burn yourself on a cooktop zone, even when the residual heat
indicator has gone off. Always use caution when using the cooktop.
5.4 COOKTOP QUICK GUIDES
The first few times the cooktop is used, it may give off a burning smell. This smell will
disappear completely with repeated use.
The cooktop surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and power.
The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked on the cooktop.
The saucepans must be positioned exactly on these zones for efficient heating to
occur. Pans should have the same diameter as the cooking zone that they are
being used on.
You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch
the ceramic surface.
Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean and dry.
When cold, the bottom of the pans could be slightly concave, as they expand
when hot and lie flat on the surface of the cooktop. This will allow the heat to
transfer more easily.
The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2–3 mm of enameled steel and 4–6
mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms.
