How to use the hot plate

• Put the pot in center of the heating zone, Turn the knob clockwise and anticlockwise to turn on the hob.
• High temperature indication lamp:
  • When the glass plate is too hot, the high temperature indication lamp will light up, don’t touch the glass plate until the indication lamp goes out.
  • Shut down: after using, please turn the knob to “OFF”, the hob will stop heating.

Caution!

• Ensure the heating plate is clean-a soiled zone does not transfer all of the heat.
• Protect the plate against corrosion.
• Switch off the plate against corrosion.
• Do not leave pans with prepared dishes based on fats and oils unattended on the switched-on plate; hot fat can spontaneously catch fire.

Hob guidelines

• The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid, burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated use.
• The worktop is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and power.
• The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same diameter as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
• You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch the ceramic surface.
• Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean and dry.
• When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
• The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms.
• If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.
• Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat.
• Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce cooking times.
• Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob top if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface. Any spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not prevent the hob surface from becoming damaged.
• IMPORTANT: The ceramic hob surface is tough; however it is not unbreakable and can be damaged. Especially if pointed or hard objects are allowed to fall on it with some force.

Maintenance and cleaning

• Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the hob is cool.
• The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning process.

Cleaning the ceramic hob top

• Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
• Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface; you should clean it using warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
• You may find it easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob surface is still warm. However you should take care not to burn yourself if cleaning the hob surface when it is still warm.

After each use

• Wipe the appliance over with a damp cloth.
• Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
