Proplus control to high
The ceramic heater is controlled by a 6 position knob (Fig.
2.8).
The ceramic heater is operated by turning the control knob
to the required setting (Fig. 2.9). Near each control knob is a
symbol which indicates the heater that is controlled by that
knob. The on/off light on the control panel will show if any of
the ceramic heaters are in use.
Knob Position Function
0 Off position
1 Keep warm position
2,3 Heating position at low heat
4, 5, 6 Cooking, roasting and boiling position
Important: The knob rotation direction may differ according
to the product specification.
Dual and Oval Heaters
Dual and oval heaters have two heating zones. To activate the
outer zone of a dual/ oval heater, turn the knob to position.
Both outer zones will switch on. To deactivate the outer zone
of a dual/oval heater, turn the knob to the 'Off' position. Both
outer zones will switch off.
Residual Heat Indicator
After using the hob there will be heat stored in the ceramic
glass called residual heat. If the residual heat level is greater
than +60°C, the residual heat indicator will be active for the
cooking zone which is above this temperature. If the power
supply to the hob is disconnected while the residual heat
indicator is on, the warning light will flash when the power is
reconnected. The display will flash until the residual heat has
decreased or until one of the cooking zones is activated.
Important: When ceramic heaters are operated in
n
higher heat settings, the heated areas may be seen
switching on and off. This is due to a safety device
which prevents the glass from overheating. This is
normal at high temperatures, causing no damage to
the hob and little delay in cooking times.
Never operate the hob without pans on the cooking
n
zone. Use only flat saucepans with a sufficiently thick
base.
Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before
n
placing it on the hob.
While the cooking zone is in operation, it is
n
important to ensure that the pan is centred correctly
above the zone.
In order to conserve energy, never use a pan with a
n
different diameter to the hotplate being used.
