The ceramic hob
The ceramic hob
The ceramic hob has four cooking areas (hotplates). Even
with the control still turned on during cooking, these areas
may be seen to switch off and on at intervals, depending
partly on the heat setting used. This switching can also
occur with the control turned to its maximum setting, to
prevent overheating.
The hot-hob warning device has four lights. A hotplate
light will remain on, even after the hotplate control has
been switched off, until the hotplate temperature falls
below about 55°C.
The glass of the hob is resistant to heat, cold and rapid
temperature changes, but it is vulnerable to impact. A
pepper mill falling on the hob could crack it. Never
stand or put heavy loads on the hob, or use it as a
storage space.
Using the hob
NEVER USE THE CERAMIC HOB IF IT IS CRACKED
Water from spillages could seep through to the
live conductors. Disconnect the cooker and con-
tact your service centre to have the cooker
repaired. Use the scraper to remove immediately
(while the hob is still warm) spilt sugar or syrups
(e.g. jam), and melted plastics and foil. These can
damage the hob if left. Never leave the cooker
unattended while deep fat frying, melting fats,
paraffin wax or other flammable substances. In
the event of a fire, turn off all the controls and the
cooker hood fan.
, never use water.
