Zanussi HC9518 Instructions For The Use & Care page 12

Operation of the Heated Areas
1. 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.
2. To select a setting for simmering 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 experienced in selecting an
appropriate setting, although this may
vary with the type and quantity of
food, the size and type of saucepan
and whether or not a lid is used.
Note
Occasionally the heated areas may be
seen to switch on and off while cooking
at the higher settings. This is due to a
safety device which protects the glass
from overheating and can be caused by
the use of an unsuitable pan (see page 9).
If this happens the ZANUSSI
HALOGEN HEAT heated area indicator
light will also switch on and off.
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 Service Centre. (Details in
Service leaflet supplied).
