Operation
Ceramic hob cooking zones
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the relevant control knob
clockwise to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 - 3
0 - OFF
3 - Maximum.
The hob has two types of cooking zones:
3 normal cooking zones (back left, back right
and front right)
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum (3) for
a short while to boost the cooking zone, and then adjusted
to the required setting.
2 double circuit cooking zones (front left)
The front left cooking zone has two heating elements.
-
To switch on the smaller circular cooking zone, turn
the relevant control knob clockwise to the required heat
setting.
-
To switch on both heating elements, turn the control
knob clockwise to maximum heat setting (3) then turn
the knob further to nearly reach the "0" symbol. You
will hear a "click" and the wider cooking zone will switch
on. Then turn back the knob to position 3
it to the required heat setting.
Please be aware that the two heating elements will now
operate together, giving a higher power output than a
normal cooking zone.
Residual heat indicators
The hob is fitted with four residual heat indicators
corresponding to each cooking zone. The corresponding
indicator will remain on until the temperature falls below
30°C, even after the cooking zone is switched off.
When a cooking zone is switched on, a short
buzzing may be heard. This is quite normal and
does not affect the hob operation in any way.
Mains On Light
The mains on light will come on when any function (oven
or hob) is selected.
Cooling fan
The cooling fan operates during cooking. Air is expelled
through vents between the oven door and the control panel.
The cooling fan may run on after the oven is switched off
to keep the controls cool. This is quite normal.
The Safety Thermostat
This oven is provided with a safety thermostat. In case of
malfunctioning of the main thermostat, and consequent
over-heating, the safety device will stop the power supply
to the appliance. If this happens, call your local Service
Force Centre. Under no circumstances should you attempt
to repair the appliance yourself.
