Operation - Fagor IO-HOB-0980 Instruction Manual

OPERATION

Before first use
● carefully clean the ceramic plate treating it as a glass surface,
● when used for the first time the plate can give off a bit of a smell so switch on the ventilation
system or open the window,
● operate the plate observing the safety instructions.
The ceramic plate is equipped with sensors operated by touching the marked areas with a
finger.
Every touch of a sensor is confirmed with a sound.
When switching the plate on and off and setting the heating power always touch only
one sensor. If you touch several sensors at the same time (with the exception of switch-
ing off the hotplate or the clock), the system will ignore the entered settings and, should
you keep touching the sensors for a long time, will emit a fault signal.
Proper cookware
There is specially made and tested cookware for cooking on ceramic plates availabl on the
market. Observe instructions provided by the cookware manufacturers.
Cookware with aluminium or copper bottoms can leave metallic discoloration, very difficult to
remove. Be particularly careful when using enamelware, as it may irreparably damage your
plate when left on a hotplate with the content boiled down. To achieve optimal power consump-
tion, optimal cooking times and to avoid burning of food boiled over on the plate, observe the
following recommendations.
Bottoms:
The cookware should have a stable, flat bottom, as sharp-edged bottoms or bottoms with
burrs and charred food residuals can scratch your ceramic plate and have abrasive impact on it!
Sizes:
The diameter of the bottom surface of the pot should match the diameter of the used heating
element.
Lids:
Lids prevent heat from escaping from the pot and thus shorten the cooking time and reduce
the consumption of power.
