A heating zone will be lit for different lengths of time
when turned on depending on the control position
selected. The heating zone shuts off sometimes to
prevent over-heating even at the highest heat.
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
Spilt water could seep through to the live con-
ductors. Disconnect the cooker from the power
supply and contact your service centre to have
the cooker repaired. Use the scraper to
REMOVE IMMEDIATELY (while the hob is still
warm) any 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, or when using it for melt-
ing fats, paraffin wax or other flammable sub-
stances. In the event of a fire, turn off all the
controls and the cooker hood fan.
