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. o You must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on each zone as you burn it off.
o If you wish to switch on another zone whilst another is already in use, simply press the ON/OFF button for the zone in question. o IMPORTANT: WHEN MULTIPLE COOKING ZONES ARE BEING USED. IF THE POWER OUTPUT GOES ABOVE A CERTAIN LEVEL, THEN THE POWER OF PARTICULAR ZONES MAY BE REDUCED. THIS DOES NOT INDICATE THAT YOUR HOB IS FAULTY. Turning off a zone o Press the ON/OFF button of the zone that you wish to switch off. After a few seconds the zone will switch off.
o A neon above the safety lock button will light to show that the safety lock feature has been switched on. o When the safety lock feature is activated, it will disable any of the other buttons on the control panel. o To disable the safety lock feature, you should press the safety lock button (5) for a few seconds. The safety lock neon will go out and you are then able to adjust the power of any zone on the hob top.
o Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean and dry. o When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This will allow the heat to transfer more easily. o The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms. o If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of heat and energy.

Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob surface is still warm. You should take care not to burn yourself if cleaning the hob surface when it is still warm.
