l; Place the saucepans with contents
onto the cooking area and turn the
control switch to an appropriate
setting. The highest setting will
allow the maximum amount of
heat to be transferred to the pan for
initial fast boiling or heating, but it
is important to be guided by any
particular recommendations given
in the saucepan manufacturer's
instructions regarding the use of
heat settings to suit the type of hob
and close fitting lids on the
saucepans will ensure faster
results.

after initial fast boiling or heating,
or for slower cooking, turn to a
lower position. The numbers do
not denote any set temperature, but
after using the hob a few times, no
difficulty will be experienceed in
selecting an appropriate setting,
although this may vary with the
type and quantity of food, the size

Special Frying Note
For safety purposes when deep fat frying,
fill the pan only one-third full of fat or
oil, do not cover the pan with a lid and
do not leave the pan unattended. In the
unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan
where it is, turn off the heat if it is safe to
do so. Place a damp cloth or correct
fitting lid over the pan to smother the
flames. Do not use water on the fire.
Leave the pan to cool for at least 30
minutes. Do not leave fat or oil in the
frying pan on the hob to store it, in case
the hob is inadvertently switched on.
WARNING
DO NOT USE THE HOB IF ANY
PART OF THE SURFACE OF THE
CERAMIC GLASS PANEL IS
DAMAGED OR CRACKED. Switch
off at the electricity supply and contact
your Zanussi Network Service Centre.
