HOB COOKWARE ADVICE

Using good quality cookware is critical for setting the best performance from your hob.

• Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and thick bases : using this type of cookware will prevent hot spots that cause food to stick. Thick metal pots and pans will provide an even distribution of heat.
• Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry : when filling pans with liquid or using one that has been stored in the refrigerator, ensure that the base of the pan is completely dry before placing it on the hob. This will help to avoid staining the hob.
• Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely cover the surface unit : the size of the pan should be no smaller than the heating area. If it is slightly wider the energy will be used at its maximum efficiency.

THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE – The following information will help you to choose cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel : highly recommended. Especially good with a sandwich clad base. The sandwich base combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminum or copper (heat  conduction, even heat distribution).
Aluminum : heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity.
Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob, but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin aluminum should not be used.
Cast Iron : usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.
Copper Bottom / stoneware: heavy weight recommended. Good performance, but copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the hob is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the hob.
Porcelain/enamel : Good performance only with a thin smooth, flat base.
Glass-ceramic : not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

USE

How to choose power management level
Through the “Power management” function, the user can set the maximum power that can be reached by the hob. Power management function is only available during first 30 seconds after switch on the hob. There is even the possibility to repeat this setting switching off and on the power plug. By setting the desired maximum power, the hob automatically adjusts the distribution in the various cooking zones so that this limit is never exceeded; with the added advantage  of being able to simultaneously manage all the zones without overload problems. The customer can set the maximum power of hob between 2.5 kW and the maximum related power of the hob (this can change according to the model). For  example if the maximum power of the hob is 7 kW, the maximum power level for setting is between 2.5kW and  7 kW. After connecting the appliance to the electrical power, within 30 seconds you can set the power level based on the  points shown below:

1. Swoon hob.

Remaining time is displayed in the digits reserved for the timer. If multiple zones are timed, the smallest remaining time is displayed, and the decimal point is displayed in the corresponding zone.

Residual Heat Indicator (In radiant heaters- > calculated)
The same indicators can be used for “residual heat” indication as well.
A time table must be defined on this purpose: Rest Heat time=f (power level, working time).
While a temperature on the cook top glass surface is above 65°Cb (theory value), this condition will be shown in the associated display, by means of an “H”. o
To generate a temperature above 65°C a heating element has to be in operation for certain time, this time depends on the power level. Once this time has expired, the residual heat warning will be shown when the heating element is switched off.
Automatic Safety Off
If the power level is not changed during a preset time, the corresponding heater turns off automatically.
The maximum time a heater can stay on, depends on the selected cooking level.

NOTE: while an overheating situation should occur during the operation of the highest power levels, the Hob control will automatically adjust the power level in order to protect the hob from overheating.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before carrying out any maintenance work on the hob, allow it to cool down.
• Only products, (creams and scrapers) specifically designed for galas ceramic surfaces should be used. They are obtainable from hardware stores.
• Avoid spillages, as anything which falls on to the hob surface will quickly burn and will make cleaning more difficult.
• It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which are liable to melt, such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based products.
• MAINTENANCE:
• Place a few drops of the specialised cleaning product on the hob surface.
• Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp kitchen paper.
• Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.

If there are still some stubborn stains:

• Place a few more drops of specialised cleaning fluid on the surface.
• Scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of 30° to the hob, until the stains disappear.
• Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.
• Repeat the operation if necessary.

A FEW HINTS:
Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to prevent scratches and wear. Make sure that the surface is clean before using the hob again. To remove marks left by water, use a few  drops of white vinegar or lemon juice.  Then wipe with absorbent paper and a few drops of specialised cleaning fluid. The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from flat- bottomed cooking vessels, however, it is always better to lift them when moving them from one zone to another.
NB:

Do not use a sponge which is too wet.
Never use a knife or a screwdriver.
A scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface, as long as it is kept at an angle of 30°.
Never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach of children.
Never use abrasive products or scouring powders.
. The metal surround : to safely clean the metal surround wash with soap and water, rinse, then dry with a soft cloth.
Any change in the colour of the glass-ceramic surface does not affect its operation or the stability of the surface. Such discolorations are mostly a result of burnt food residues or use of cookware made of materials such as aluminum or copper; these stains are difficult to remove.

PROBLEM SOLVING

The cooking zones do not simmer or only fry gently
Only use flat-bottomed pans. If light is visible between the pan and the hob, the zone is not transmitting heat correctly.
The pan bottom should fully cover the diameter of the selected zone.
The cooking is too slow
Unsuitable pans are being used. Only use flat-bottomed utensils, that are heavy and have a diameter at least the same as the cooking zone.
Small scratches or abrasions on the hob’s glass surface
Incorrect cleaning or rough-bottomed pans are used; particles like grains of sand or salt get between the hob and the bottom of the pan. Refer to the “CLEANING” section; make sure that pan bottoms are clean before use and only use  smooth bottomed pans. Scratches can be lessened only the cleaning is done correctly.
