Before using for the first time Please stick the extra data plate for the appliance supplied with this documentation in the space provided in the “After sales service” section of this booklet. Remove any protective wrapping and stickers. Cleaning the hob for the first time Before using for the first time, clean the hob with a damp cloth only and then wipe dry. 24 Switching on the hob for the first time The metal components have a protective coating.
How it works Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst double circle cooking zones and extended zones have two. Depending on the model, the heating elements may be separated by an insulating ring. Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from becoming too hot (see “Safety features – Overheating protection”).
Pans The best pots and pans are metal ones with a thick base which is very slightly concave when cold. When heated, the base flattens to rest evenly on the hob, optimising the conduction of the heat. cold hot Glass, ceramic, or stoneware is less suitable. These materials do not conduct the heat well. Cutlery made of synthetic material, and aluminum foil are not suitable. These melt at high temperatures. Pots and pans made of aluminium or with an aluminium base can leave a metallic sheen on the hob.
Tips on saving energy - Check that the diameter of the pan base is wide enough for the cooking zone so that heat is not lost unnecessarily. - Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimize heat loss. - Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A small pan on a small cooking zone uses less energy than a large, partially filled pan on a large cooking zone. - Cook with as little water as possible.
Setting range The hob is programmed with 9 power levels at the factory. If you wish to fine-tune a setting, you can extend the power level range to 17 power levels (see “Programming”). Setting ranges Default Extended setting settings (9 power (17 power levels) levels) Melting butter, chocolate etc. Dissolving gelatine Warming small quantities of food/liquids Keeping warm food which sticks easily Cooking rice Warming liquid and semi-solid foods Thickening sauces, e.g.
