Overview

This document is a user manual for a Zanussi hob, model ZHRN643K. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, daily use, care, cleaning, and troubleshooting, ensuring safe and efficient operation of the appliance.

The hob is designed for household cooking purposes and features a glass-ceramic surface with multiple cooking zones. It is equipped with sensor fields for operation, and displays, indicators, and sounds provide feedback on its functions.

Function Description:

The hob offers various cooking zones, each with adjustable heat settings from 1 to 9. It includes a dual cooking zone that allows for adjustment of the cooking surface to match the size of the cookware.

Key functions include:

  • Activation and Deactivation: The hob can be activated or deactivated by touching the ON/OFF sensor field for 1 second.
  • Heat Setting Adjustment: Heat settings are increased or decreased using the '+' and '-' sensor fields. A cooking zone can be deactivated by touching both '+' and '-' simultaneously.
  • Outer Ring Activation/Deactivation: For dual zones, the outer ring can be activated or deactivated by touching its dedicated sensor field, allowing for flexible cooking surface adjustment.
  • Automatic Heat Up: This function quickly brings a cold cooking zone to a necessary heat setting by initially setting it to the highest level for a short period before reducing it to the desired setting.
  • Timer Functions:
    • Count Down Timer: Allows setting a specific cooking duration (00-99 minutes) for individual cooking zones. An acoustic signal sounds and "00" flashes when the countdown ends, and the cooking zone deactivates.
    • Minute Minder: This function can be used independently of the cooking zones, providing a general timer. An acoustic signal sounds and "00" flashes when the time finishes.
  • Lock / Child Safety Device: This feature prevents accidental operation of the hob. It can be activated by touching the lock sensor field for 4 seconds when no heat setting is active. It can also be temporarily overridden for a single cooking session.
  • Automatic Switch Off: The hob automatically deactivates under several conditions: if all cooking zones are off, if no heat setting is selected after activation, if an object covers the control panel for more than 10 seconds, or if a cooking zone operates for an extended period without a change in heat setting.
  • Residual Heat Indicator: After use, an 'H' indicator illuminates to show that a cooking zone is still hot, warning against the risk of burns. This indicator may also appear for neighboring zones.

Usage Features:

The manual provides practical advice for daily cooking:

  • Cookware Selection: It emphasizes using cookware with a thick, flat, and clean base to prevent scratches and ensure efficient heat transfer. Enamelled steel, aluminum, or copper bottoms may cause discoloration on the glass-ceramic surface.
  • Cooking Examples: A table offers guidance on heat settings and cooking times for various dishes, from keeping food warm to boiling water and deep-frying.
  • Energy Saving Hints: Recommendations include using only the necessary amount of water, always covering cookware with lids when possible, placing cookware on the cooking zone before activation, matching cookware diameter to the cooking zone, and utilizing residual heat to keep food warm or melt ingredients.

Maintenance Features:

Regular care and cleaning are crucial for maintaining the hob's appearance and functionality:

  • General Cleaning: The hob should be cleaned after each use. A moist soft cloth and neutral detergents are recommended. Abrasive products, cleaning pads, solvents, or metal objects should be avoided.
  • Immediate Cleaning: Melted plastic, plastic foil, sugar, and sugary foods should be removed immediately using a special hob scraper to prevent damage to the surface.
  • Cool-Down Cleaning: Limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, and shiny metallic discoloration should be cleaned once the hob has cooled sufficiently, using a moist cloth and non-abrasive detergent. For shiny metallic discoloration, a solution of water with vinegar is suggested.
  • Safety Precautions: Users are reminded to switch off the appliance and allow it to cool down before cleaning. Water spray and steam cleaners should not be used.

The manual also includes detailed safety instructions covering general safety, installation, electrical connection, and disposal, highlighting the importance of professional installation and adherence to safety guidelines. Troubleshooting tips are provided for common issues, with advice on when to contact an authorized service center.
