o When you have finished cooking, make sure that you turn the
control knob clockwise, to the 0 position, the red ON/OFF neon
will switch off.
Residual heat indicator
o In the middle of the control knobs, there is an orange residual
heat indicator.
o After turning a hob zone on, when the temperature of any of the
zones goes above 50°C the corresponding residual heat indicator
neon will come on.
o After turning the hob zones off, the residual heat indicator neon
will stay on until the temperature of the zone falls below 50°C.
o IMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if your
mains supply is cut.
Hob guidelines
o The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
o The hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre
and power.
o The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked
on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on
these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the
same diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
o You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
o Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are
clean and dry.
o When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as
they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This
will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
o The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of
enameled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich
type bottoms.
