Rangemaster 110 Ceramic User's Manual & Installation Instructions page 9

Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent
any residue burning onto the hob panel. This also helps
prevent scratches and deposits.
Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger
than) the areas marked on the hob top (Fig.2-4). Using
smaller pans wastes heat, and any spillage will be burnt on.
Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.
Always lift pans off the hob (Fig.2-5). Sliding pans may cause
marks and scratches. Always turn the control to the 'OFF'
position before removing a pan.
There are indicator lights for each of the cooking areas
(Fig.2-6). The lights come on when a hob control is turned on
and stays lit while the surface cools.
Always take care before touching the surface, even
n n
when the hob is turned off – it may be hotter than
you think.
The ratings of the different cooking areas are shown in (Fig.2-6).
When cooking on the hob, you may see the hob area you
are using switch off and on: this is caused by a safety
device that limits the temperature of the hob. This is quite
normal, especially when cooking at high temperatures.
If it happens a lot with a particular pan, however, it may
mean the pan is not suitable – perhaps too small or too
uneven – for a ceramic hob.
Dual Element Hob Plates
The areas marked with two concentric circles have an inner
and an outer element. Rotate the control knob clockwise to
heat the whole area for larger pans; turn it counter-clockwise
to just heat the inner part for smaller pans (Fig.2-7).
Warmer
(Rangemaster only)
On the right of the hob is the warmer (Fig.2-8). Use the
warmer for keeping food warm while the final touches are
put to a meal. Turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the
on position.
For best results, preheat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes
before adding food to it.
Use only heat resistant dishes.
Dual Purpose Hob/Warmer Area
Rangemaster)
There is a dual purpose area on the right of the hob. The inner
ring marks out a 1.2 kW hob area (Fig.2-9). The outer line
marks the extent of a warmer, which you can use for keeping
food warm while the final touches are put to a meal.
Turn the control to the first (warmer) position to heat the
whole area to a low temperature.
Turn it further to use the inner ring as a normal hob plate.
