and all loads will stop operating. It will return to off mode after 1 minute, and the display
will continuously show the residual heat warning symbol "H" for the cooking zone that is
under residual heat protection.
Guide to the use of ceramic hobs
-
The first few times the hob is used, it may give off an acidic, burning smell. This odour will
disappear completely with repeated use.
-
The positions from which the heat will radiate are clearly marked on the hob. Cooking
utensils must be placed exactly over these areas for effective heating to take place.
Cooking utensils must have the same diameter as the cooking zone in which they are
used.
-
Do not use cookware with a rough base, as this may scratch the ceramic surface.
-
Before using the cookware, make sure that the base is clean and dry.
-
When cold, the bottom of the cookware should be slightly concave, as when hot it will
expand and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This will allow heat to be transferred more
easily.
-
The best thickness for the bottom of the cookware is 2 - 3 mm for enamelled steel and
4 - 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich bottom.
-
Failure to follow these recommendations will result in a large loss of heat and energy.
Heat not absorbed by the cookware will spread to the hob, frame, and surrounding
cabinets.
-
It is preferable to cover the cookware with a lid in order to be able to cook at a lower
temperature.
-
Always cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. in as little water as possible to reduce cooking
time.
-
Food or liquids with a high sugar content can damage the hob if they come into contact
with the surface of the glass ceramic hob. Splashes should be wiped up immediately,
although this will not prevent damage to the surface of the plate.
Important
The surface of the ceramic hob is resistant; however, it is not unbreakable and can be
damaged. Especially if sharp or hard objects are allowed to fall on it with some force.
5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
-
Let the hob cool down before cleaning it.
-
The appliance must be disconnected from the mains before cleaning.
-
Cleaning agent residues left on the surface of the ceramic hob can damage it. Remove
residues with lukewarm water mixed with a little liquid detergent.
-
Abrasive cleaning agents or sharp objects damage the hob surface; clean it with
lukewarm water mixed with a little liquid detergent.
