ArtNo.312-0007 Indicator light 110
Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent
any residue burning onto the hob panel. This also helps
prevent scratches and deposits.
Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger
than) the areas marked on the hob top
(Fig.2-4)
. Using
smaller pans wastes heat, and any spillage will be burnt on.
Using a lid will help the contents boil more quickly.
There are indicator lights for each of the cooking areas
(Fig.2-5)
. The lights come on when a hob control is turned on
and stay lit while the surface cools.
Always take care before touching the surface, even
when the hob is turned off – it may be hotter than
you think.
The ratings of the different cooking areas are shown in
(Fig.2-6)
.
When cooking on the hob, you may see the hob area you
are using switch off and on: this is caused by a safety device
that limits the temperature of the hob. This is quite normal,
especially when cooking at high temperatures. If it happens
a lot with a particular pan, however, it may mean the pan is
not suitable – perhaps too small or too uneven – for a ceramic
hob.
For best results, preheat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes
before adding food to it.
Dual Element Hob Plates
The areas marked with two concentric circles have an inner
and an outer element. Rotate the control knob clockwise to
heat the whole area for larger pans; turn it anti-clockwise to
just heat the inner part for smaller pans
(Fig.2-7)
.
Warmer
(Rangemaster only)
On the right of the hob is the Warmer
(Fig.2-8)
. Use the
warmer for keeping food warm while the final touches are
put to a meal. Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to the on
position.
For best results, preheat a covered serving dish for 10 minutes
before adding food to it.
Use only heat resistant dishes.
Dual Purpose Hob/Warmer Area
(All models except
Rangemaster)
On the right of the hob is a dual purpose area
(Fig.2-9)
. The
inner ring marks out a 1.2kW hob area that can be used in
the same way as all the other cooking zones on the hob. The
outer line marks the extent of the Warmer.
Turn the control to the first (warmer) position to heat both
ends of the area to a low temperature. The centre part of the
zone will also become hot making it ideal for keeping ready
cooked food in saucepans warm. Use only heat resistant
dishes on the warming area.
Turn the control knob further to use the inner ring as a
normal hob plate.
Use only heat resistant dishes.
