RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The hob also features 4 warning lights
which are connected to the corresponding
plates.
When the temperature of a cooking plate is
above 60°C, the relevant warning light will
also light up to warn of heat on the surface
of the hob.
This light also stay on after the cooking pla-
te has been switched off to show that the
hob surface is still hot.
This residual heat will lasts for a long time
after the cooking plate has been switched off.
During this time you should avoid tou-
ching the hob surface over the cooking
area.
Please pay special attention to ensure
that children are not allowed near the
hob.
The light will switch off automatically as
soon as the surface temperature of the co-
oking plate falls below 60°C.
DO NOT USE GLASS WARE ON CERAMIC HOBS.
DO NOT USE PANS WITH ROUGHT CIRCULAR
MACHINED BASE.

DEEP FAT FRYING
For safety purposes when deep fat frying,
Fig. 3.4
do not fill the pan more than one hird full
of 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 and turn off the control
knobs.
Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to
smother the flames. Leave the pan to cool
for at least 30minutes before moving the pan.
Fig. 3.5 DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.
To reduce the cooking time, you can
turn the control knob to the max when
you switch the plate on. After a short
time you can set the control knob to
the position required for cooking.
You should only use pots and pans with
flat bases (pans with the test mark for
glass-ceramic hobs are available from
specialist shops). The diameter of the
pan should match that of the cooking
plate (or be slightly bigger) to make the
most of the energy.
Since the cooking surface will stays
hot for a certain time after the plate
has been switched off, you can switch
it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of
the cooking. The residual heat of the
hob will complete the cooking.
To save electricity, use pan lids whe-
never possible.
Never cook the food directly on the
glass ceramic cooktop.
