Operation Of The Hob - Zanussi VH401H Instructions For The Use & Care

Operation of the Hob
General
1. Before using the hob, always ensure the
surface of the cooking areas and the
saucepans are clean and dry. Never
cook directly on the heated areas as it
may cause damage and only make more
cleaning!
. Place the saucepans with contents onto
the cooking area and turn the control
switch to an appropriate setting. The
highest setting will allow the maximum
amount of heat to be transferred to the
pan for the initial fast boiling or heating,
but it is important to be guided by any
particular recommendations given in
the saucepan manufacturer's
instructions regarding the use of heat
settings to suit the type of pan. Close
fitting lids on the saucepans will ensure
faster results.
. To select a setting for simmering after
initial fast boiling or heating, or for
slower cooking, turn to a lower
position. The numbers do not denote
any set temperature, but after using the
hob a few times, no difficulty will be
experienced in selecting an appropriate
setting, although this will vary with the
type and quantity of food, the size and
type of saucepan and whether or nota
lid is used.
. Remove any spillage on the hob as soon
as possible to prevent soilage being
burnt on. Please see page 12 to14 for
notes on the cleaning and care of your
hob. On ceramic hobs sugar solutions
e.g. jams and syrups, must be wiped off
the hob surface straight away to avoid
the surface being damaged.
. Itisinadvisable to leave an empty pan
on a heated area.
. Saucepans may be rested on unheated
areas when cooking is complete, prior
to serving the food.
