Cooking zone indicators and neon’s Using the ceramic hob Before first use IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see “Cleaning and maintenance” section). o You should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on the heating elements during transit. o Do not burn off more than one zone at once.
Turning the hob on o Press the ON/OFF button (1) o The cooking zone indicators (3) will all read “0”. o The decimal point symbols (13) will all flash on and off. Turning on a zone and setting a power level IMPORTANT: A zone must be selected within 10 seconds of turning the hob on. o Press the cooking zone selection button (2) for the zone that you require. o The decimal point symbol (13) will stop flashing on the relevant cooking zone indicator (3), to show that zone is active.
Turning on the double hyperspeed zone The double hyperspeed zone has two cooking areas that you can use, a central section and an outer section. You can use the central section (A) independently or both sections (B) at once. o Press the cooking zone selection button (2) for the double hyperspeed zone. o The decimal point symbol (13) will stop flashing on the cooking zone indicator (3), to show that zone is active. o Adjust the zone between power level 1 and 9, using the plus (5) and minus (4) buttons.
o Press the dual circuit ON/OFF button (6). o The dual circuit indicator neon (10) will go out and the outer section will switch off. Using the oval hyperspeed zone The oval hyperspeed zone is controlled in the same way as the double hyperspeed zone. However you need to select the oval hyperspeed zone, using the relevant cooking zone selection button.
Residual heat indicator o After a zone is switched off, the corresponding cooking zone indicator (3) will show the letter “H”. This means that the temperature of the zone is over 60°C and is therefore high enough to cause injury. o The letter “H” will disappear once the temperature of the zone has fallen below 60°C. o IMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if your mains supply is cut for longer than 3 seconds.
LEVEL TIME LIMIT (hours) 1–2 6 3–4 5 5 4 6–9 1.5 o If the safety cut off has activated, the symbol “H” will appear in the cooking zone indicator (3) that applies to the cooking zone that has been left on. To reset the appliance, you should press the ON/OFF button (1). o If a cooking zone selection button (2) or the plus (5) or minus (4) buttons are pressed, then the length of time before the safety cut-out will activate is reset.
o The period of time that a zone will automatically pre-heat for before dropping to the actual power level, is shown in the table below:LEVEL TIME LIMIT 1 1 minute 2 3 minutes 3 4 minutes 48 seconds 4 6 minutes 30 seconds 5 8 minutes 30 seconds 6 2 minutes 30 seconds 7 3 minutes 30 seconds 8 4 minutes 30 seconds 9 N/A Changing the power level during automatic pre-heating o If a zone is already within automatic pre-heating mode and you wish to adjust the power level.
The hob timer (countdown mode) o Press the timer button (7) and a “00”will appear on the timer display (8). o A decimal point will appear on the timer display to show that the hob timer is active. o Use the minus (4) and plus (5) buttons to adjust the time that appears in the timer display (8). o Once the minus or plus buttons are released, the countdown will start immediately. o At the end of the time period, an acoustic signal will sound that lasts for 30 seconds.
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.
