z The GRILL ELEMENT KNOB needs to be pushed in
and turned to either direction:
Clockwise - both elements on
Anti-clockwise - middle element only
z The HOB cooking area controls are operated also by
pushing in the knob before turning to the required
setting.
z The OVEN CONTROL KNOBS which do not need to
be pushed in, can only be rotated clockwise from the
OFF position.
z The HOB NEON illuminates when the hob is hot and
therefore too hot to touch. There is a short delay after
initial switch on.
The neon remains on when the element is switched off
until the temperature reduces to a safe level (although
the hob may still be warm enough to cause minor
discomfort).
z The OVEN NEONS illuminate when ovens are
switched on. When the required temperature is
reached the neon will extinguish.
z
DO NOT USE THE HOB IF IT IS CRACKED.
z
DO NOT PLACE ALUMINIUM FOIL ON THE HOB
SURFACE.
z The hob has five cooking areas:-
front left - double circuit - 1.7 kW/0.7 kW - 130mm/
120mm dia - rapid heat up
rear left - single circuit - 1.2 kW - 140mm dia - rapid
heat up
centre - double circuit - 2.0 kW/0.9 kW - 240 x 140mm
dia - rapid heat up
front right - single circuit - 1.2 kW - 140mm dia - rapid
heat up
rear right - single circuit - 1.8 kW - 180mm dia - rapid
heat up
z When the hob cooking areas are switched on, the
heating area will glow red.
z The hot plates contain a safety switch which limits the
ceramic temperature if the plates are operated without
a pan in position, or if the plates have been at a
maximum setting for longer than normal.
To get the best out of your hob
z Ensure that the pan covers the heating area.
z Switch off the plates when the cooking is complete.
z Do not cook directly on the hob surface. Always use a
pan.
z Do not use the hob as a chopping board or resting
area.
z Always lift the pan off the surface. Do not drag or slide
the pans into position.
z Always use the recommended cleaning materials and
methods. See ‘Cleaning’ section.
Choice of saucepans
z The ceramic hob is very strong, but if a heavy or sharp
object is dropped upon it the surface might crack. If a
crack does appear in the surface, disconnect
immediately and arrange for a repair.
z Only smooth flat based pans recommended for use on
ceramic hobs must be used.
z If cast iron pans are used, ensure they have a
machined flat base.
z Pans with copper or aluminium bases leave traces on
the hob that are difficult to remove.
z Never use recessed or ridged base pans.
z The base of the pan should cover the heating area.
z Select a pan of sufficient size to avoid spillage (boiling
over). Especially when cooking food containing sugar
e.g. jam, marmalade, fruit etc.
z Do not overlap the edge of the ceramic hob area with
pans, as this will result in damage to the enamelled
surface of the top plate.
z For best results the bottom of an enamelled pan
should be 2-3mm thick, stainless steel should have
sandwich bottoms 4-6mm thick.
