HI-LIGHT COOKING ZONES
Hi-Light cooking zones differ from the conventional zones by rapid heating; therefore, the cooking process begins very
soon.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
Each hob is equipped with a control light that stays on also after the hob is turned off, if the hob is still
hot. When the cooking zone cools down, the signal light goes out. The residual heat indicator is also lit
up if a hot pot or pan is placed on a cool cooking zone.
GLASS CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE
• The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
• The glass-ceramic plate is very solid but it is not unbreakable. The plate can break when an object falls with its edge
on the plate. Such damage comes out immediately or after a while. Disconnect the damaged hotplate from the main
immediately and do not use it.
• Using the glass ceramic hob as a storage area may result in scratches or other damage to it.
• Do not use aluminium or plastic cookware on hot cooking zones. Do not place any plastic objects or aluminium foil
on the glass ceramic hob.
• Make sure the cooking zone and the cookware bottom is clean and dry. This will allow better conduction of heat and
prevent any damage to the heating surface. Do not place empty cookware on the cooking zone.
TIPS REGARDING YOUR COOKWARE
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Diameter of the pot and pan bottoms should match the diameter of the cooking zone. If the pot or pan is too small,
a part of the heat will be lost, and the cooking zone may be damaged.
• If the cooking process allows, use a lid.
• Cookware should be suitably sized given the amount of food. When you cook a small amount of food in a large pot
or pan, more energy is lost.
• If a dish takes a long time to cook, use a pressure cooker.
• Vegetables, potatoes etc. may be cooked in a smaller amount of water. The food will cook just as well, as long as
the pot is tightly closed with a lid. After bringing the water to a boil, reduce the heat to a level that just sufices to
maintain a slow simmer.
If sugar or food with high sugar content is spilled over a hot class ceramic hob, immediately wipe the
hob or remove the sugar with a scraper, even if the cooking zone is still hot. This will prevent any damage to
the class ceramic surface. Do not use detergents and other cleaners to clean a hot glass ceramic hob as this
could damage the surface.
• Use quality cookware with flat and stable bottom.
• Pan bottom and cooking zone diameters should be the same.
• Tempered glass cookware with special ground bottom may be used on the
cooking zones if its diameter fits that of the cooking zones. Cookware with
larger diameter may crack due to thermal tension.
• Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle of the cooking zone.
• When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until the right pressure is
reached. First, set the cooking zone to maximum power; then, following the
pressure cooker manufacturer's instructions, use the relevant sensor to
decrease the cooking power at the right time.
• Make sure there is enough liquid in the pressure cooker, or any other pot or
pan. Due to overheating, using an empty pot on the cooking zone may result
in damage to both the pot and the cooking zone.
• When using special cookware, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
