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. If excessive 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,
those relating to 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
to reduce cleaning.
• Follow the cleaning instructions very
closely to keep the hob looking like new.
• If
spillage
occurs
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.
Hot hob indicator
The ceramic hob is fitted with a hot hob
indicator light which illuminates when the
hob is too hot to touch. The light will go OFF
when the hob has cooled.
