Electric Plate Hobs - Zanussi EC 29 B Instructions For The Use And Care

the hand symbol is centred on dial 4,

operation to continue cooking.
Electric plate hobs
The control panel incorporates knobs to
operate the four heating elements. There
are two different types of plates.
Normal plate
This is a 6 position knob where:
0 = off
1 = minimum power
6 = maximum power
Positions 2-5 are the increasing power
values up to maximum.
Rapid plate
This type is indicated by a red circle in the
middle of the plate.
This red circle is painted on and so will
deteriorate and eventually come off
completely over a period of time. A rapid
plate will heat up much more quickly than
a normal plate, and the knob is again a 6
position one (Fig. 6).
Saucepans suitable for use on solid plate
hobs should have several characteristics:
They should be fairly heavy duty.
They should fit the heat area exactly, or
be slightly larger for efficient use,
NEVER smaller.
They should have a flat base to ensure
good contact with the plate (Fig. 7).
This is particularly impoitant when using
pans for high temperature frying or
pressure cooking.
Avoid liquids being split onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a pan
on them or with an empty pan on them.
