Cooking On Induction Hobs - Belling PBi60R User & Installation Instructions Manual

Cooking On Induction Hobs

• Do not leave an empty pan on a heating zone.
• Pans should be placed in the centre of the heating
zone.
• Never heat up a sealed tin of food, as it may
explode.
• When you use a pan with a non-stick coating (eg;
Teflon) with little or no fat, heat the pan first for a
moment on setting 6 or 7.
• We recommend that you do not put metal cooking
utensils, cutlery, knives or other metal objects on
the hob, as they could become hot if they are near
a cooking area which is in use.
• It is perfectly possible to use a pan with a smaller
diameter than that of the ring marked on the vitro-
ceramic glass; there will be no loss of energy as is
the case with conventional cookers (electricity and
gas).
• Nothing should ever be left lying on the hob.
• Lift pans onto and off the hob, rather than sliding
them across the surface, to avoid marks and
scratches.
• As soon as the water boils, turn the cooking zones
down to a lower setting; this will help prevent pans
boiling over.
• As pans are on a smooth surface, they will move
easily if knocked accidentally; turning pan handles
so they are not overhanging the edge of the hob,
will help prevent this happening and keep them out
of the reach of children.
Be careful when cooking foods in salted water, or
•
foods containing large amounts of sugar or syrup , if
they are spilt onto hot areas of the hob they may
damage the glass.
Wipe any spillage as soon as possible.
Use pans which are large enough to avoid overflows
onto the vitro-ceramic glass hob surface.

Do not use the hotplate
surface for storage, as a
chopping board or work

to shatter without warning
due to small chips in the
glass.
