The Ceramic Hob With Tricity Halogen; The Ceramic Cooking Panel - Tricity Bendix 1568 Operating Instructions Manual

THE CERAMIC HOB WITH
TRICITY HALOGEN HEAT (where applicable)
Your TRICITY HALOGEN HEAT
ceramic hob will introduce you to a form
of hob cooking which is new and truly
revolutionary, combining the benefits of
conventional elements and TRICITY
HALOGEN HEAT. The TRICITY
HALOGEN HEAT area has special
tungsten halogen lamps, which transmit
heat very efficiently upwards through the
ceramic glass. TRICITY HALOGEN
HEAT - cooking by light - can be seen to
be on, even at the lowest setting. It's
controllable, fast and responsive.
The variety of sizes of heating areas
provide the flexibility of obtaining the
most economical use of the hob.
You will be delighted with the way the
hob boils, fries, simmers, with the way it
assists in keeping your pans clean; the way
it prolongs their life .. . but above all, the
utter cleanliness of cooking and of the hob
itself will make your cooker one of the
most treasured appliances in your kitchen.
It is, however, important that you realise
that old-fashioned methods of cleaning
and care, suitable though they may be for
ordinary hobs, are just not suitable for so
revolutionary a unit. May we therefore ask
you to study these instructions and to
follow the recommendations on care and
cleaning, even though they may mean a
change in your usual methods. You will
find the care and cleaning different - but
so rewarding.
THE CERAMIC COOKING PANEL
The smooth ceramic glass panel is non-
porous and durable. Beneath is a TRICITY
HALOGEN HEAT area, located under a
decorative oval area on the surface and 3
conventional elements, each one located
under a decorative circular area on the
surface.
The TRICITY HALOGEN HEAT
control knob has six positive settings
between | and 6 to give consistent heat
outputs each time a different heat setting is
selected.
The conventional element controls have
infinitely variable settings, and are marked
from 0-5.
Both are designed to cover all methods ©
of cooking. 7
A neon indicator light glows when a hob
control is switched.on and serves as a
reminder to turn the control switch back to
off when cooking is complete.
NOTES
1. Intermittently the elements may be seen
glowing through the ceramic surface when
the heated area is on.
2. Before using the hob, always ensure the
ceramic surface and the saucepans are
clean and dry.
3. Saucepans may be rested on the
unheated areas when cooking is complete,
prior to serving the food.
HOB INDICATORS
Each cooking area on the ceramic hob
has an indicator light. When this glows it is
a warning that the cooking area is still hot.
The indicator light will go out as soon as
the cooking area is cool.
SAUCEPANS
Saucepans should have smooth, flat, non-
reflective bases and be approximately the
same size as the heated area. This will
achieve the best cooking results and the
most economical use of electricity.
Pans should be lifted onto and off the
heated areas and not slid across the surface
since this in time may scratch the surface
finish of the hob. This also applies to pans
with aluminium bases to avoid metal _
marks. Such marks are easily cleaned,
provided they are removed immediately,
and are not allowed to bake onto the
surface for long periods.
Ensure that new pans are well scrubbed
