CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE IF THE CERAMIC GLASS IS DAMAGED. IF A
FAULT
OR
CRACK
BECOMES
VISIBLE
DURING
COOKING,
DISCONNECT
THE
APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY AND CONTACT YOUR
LOCAL SERVICE FORCE CENTRE.
USING THE HOB
•
Turn the control knob in either direction to vary
the heat setting. The highest number represents
the hottest setting and the lowest number the
coolest setting.
Choose a setting appropriate to
the quantity and type of food to be cooked.
RECOMMENDED SAUCEPANS
For speed and economy only good quality saucepans
with
flat
bases
and
close
fitting
lids
are
recommended.
The saucepan base should be
approximately the same size as the cooking area, a
base diameter of up to 225mm (9”) may be used on a
180mm (7”) heated area.
Ensure that new saucepans are well scrubbed to
remove edges and take off any deposits left from
manufacture.
Pressure cookers, preserving pans, etc., should
comply with the recommendations given above.
Traditional round bottomed Woks must not be used
even with a stand.
Woks with flat-bottomed bases
are
available
and
do
comply
with
the
above
recommendations.
NOTE
Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch
ON and OFF when higher heat settings are being
used. This is due to a safety device which prevents
the glass from overheating. Some switching ON and
OFF when cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep
fat frying is quite normal, causes no damage to the
hob and little delay in cooking times.
Excessive switching may however be caused by the
use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which
is smaller than the heated area.
If excessive
switching occurs, discontinue use of the saucepan.
HINTS AND TIPS
•
Lift, rather than slide saucepans on and off the
heated areas.
This will reduce the risk of
scratches and metal marks from saucepans with
aluminium bases.
Metal marks can be easily
cleaned off providing they are not allowed to burn
on.
•
Follow any guidelines provided by the saucepan
manufacturer,
particularly
those
relating
to
recommended heat settings.
•
Avoid using thin, badly dented or distorted
saucepans. Those with uneven bases should not
be used.
