Control panel 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.
Control knobs o All operations are performed by means of the 4 control knobs that can be found on the right hand side of the hob top. o The control knob should be turned anti-clockwise or clockwise to select a heating level. The dots around the outside of each control knob indicate the power level that you have set the zone to. o A marking to the top right of each control knob, indicates which cooking zone that it controls.
Residual heat indicators o Above each control knob, there is a residual heat indicator for the cooking zone that it controls. o After turning a cooking zone on, when the temperature of the zone goes above 60°C the corresponding residual heat indicator neon will switch on. o After turning a hob zone off, the residual heat indicator neon will stay on until the temperature of the zone falls below 60°C. o IMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if your mains supply is cut.
o If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets. o Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat. o Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce cooking times. o Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob top if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface.
