The Radiant Hob (Si 341 Only); The Glass Hob Lid; Recommended Saucepans; Hints And Tips - Tricity Bendix SI 341 Operating And Installation Instructions

• To use the hob, push in and turn the control
knob in either direction to vary the heat
setting. The highest number represents the
hottest setting and the lowest the coolest
setting.
• Choose a setting appropriate to the quantity
and type of food to be cooked.
THINGS TO NOTE
1. The glass lid must be in the fully upright position
before the hotplates can operate.
2. The hob indicator neon will glow when using any
of the hotplates.
THE GLASS HOB LID
The hob lid is made from toughened glass which is
an extremely durable material and will withstand
normal wear and tear encountered during cooking.
However, you MUST ensure the control knobs are in
the OFF position and that the hotplates are cool
before closing the lid.
A safety device fitted to the cooker prevents the hob
from operating when the lid is closed. If any of the
controls have been inadvertently left ON, the hob will
operate as soon as the lid is lifted.
HINTS AND TIPS
• Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
hob to help to reduce scratches and maintain the
efficiency of the hotplates.
• Avoid placing fish kettles or large preserving
pans across two hotplates as this may cause
damage.
• Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer, particularly those relating to the
recommended heat settings.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality
saucepans with flat bases and close fitting lids are
recommended.
The saucepan base should cover the hotplate as
much as possible. A base diameter of up to 225mm
(9") may be used on a 180mm (7") hotplate.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
• To prolong the life of the hotplates:
• Never use utensils with a skirt, e.g. a bucket
• Never use an asbestos mat
• Never line the spillage tray with aluminium foil
• Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered
with a saucepan
• Care should be taken NOT to rest pans against
the lid whilst in use.
• Heavy objects should NOT be placed on the hob
lid.
