The Radiant Hob; Saucepans; The Hob Lid - Tricity Bendix 1568 Operating Instructions Manual

THE RADIANT HOB (where applicable)
USE OF THE HOB
The hotplates give rapid heat and are fast
boiling. The control switches provide a very
flexible control from slow simmer to fast boil.
The highest number is the hottest setting.
These switches have intermediate positions.
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.
The control knobs can be turned in either
direction to vary the heat setting; turn the
control knobs to the highest setting for fast
cooking.
To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or
simmer, choose a lower setting although this
will vary with the size and type of saucepan,
the quantity and type of food and whether or
not a lid is used.
Never use hotplates without a pan.
SAUCEPANS
For fastest, most economical cooking, we
recommend pans with flat bases and close
fitting lids. The saucepans should cover the
hotplates as much as possible — up to 225 mm
(9") diameter saucepans on a nominal 180
mm (7") hotplates. If using larger diameter
pans, only use pans with ground bases.
Damage may occur to the hob if large
preserving pans or fish kettles are places
across two hotplates. Saucepans should be
lifted onto and off hotplates and not slid on,
since this may in time scratch the surface
finish of the hob.
Never leave the hotplates on for long
periods when not covered with a pan ... never
place a utensil with a skirt on the hotplate e.g.
a bucket ... never use an asbestos mat, or line
the spillage tray with aluminium foil.
Any guidelines or recommendations given
by the saucepan or cooking utensil
manufacture should be followed.
THE HOB LID
Where a lid is fitted it should be parked in the
fully open position whilst the hob is in use.
Before closing the lid the hob should be
allowed to cool. Make sure that all control
switches are in the 'off' position and that the
hob indicator neon is off.
A safety device fitted to the cooker will
prevent the hob from operating when the lid is
closed, however, if any of the hob controls
have been left on the hob will operate as soon
as the lid is lifted. Before lifting the lid,
remove any spillage from the cover.
TO RAISE THE HOB
The hob is hinged to facilitate easy cleaning
of the spillage tray.
Lift the hob using the tool provided and
secure in a raised position by means of the
support arm, where fitted. Cleaning of the
under side of the hob and spillage tray can
now be carried out.
The plated hotplate trims may be removed
for cleaning, but the hotplate spider supports
should not be removed.
