NOTE:
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch
ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being
used. This is due to a safety device which prevents
the glass from overheating.
Some switching ON and OFF when cooking at high
temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal,
causes no damage to the hob and little delay in
cooking times.
Excessive switching may however be caused by the
use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which
is smaller than the heated area.
switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.
HINTS AND TIPS
•
Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
hob. This will reduce the risk of scratches and
metal marks from saucepans with aluminium
bases. Metal marks can be easily cleaned off
providing they are not allowed to burn on.
•
Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer,
particularly
recommended heat settings.
•
Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
•
Never leave the hotplates ON when not covered
with a saucepan.
•
Ensure that the hob and saucepans are clean
and dry before the start of cooking.
•
Follow the cleaning instructions very closely to
keep the hob looking like new.
•
If spillage occurs with sugar solutions, e.g.
jams and syrups, it must be wiped from the
hob before it sets and becomes hard
otherwise damage to the hob will occur.
INDIVIDUAL HOT HOB INDICATOR
The hob is fitted with a hot hob indicator light which
illuminates when the zone is too hot to touch. The
light will go OFF when the zone has cooled.
