Using the hob

Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the hob surface and solid plates (see “Cleaning and maintenance” section).

  • You should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on the heating elements during transit.
  • When doing this burn-off process, an appropriately sized saucepan containing cold water should be placed on the zone in question.
  • Do not burn off more than one zone at once

Control knobs

  • All operations are performed by means of the 2 control knobs that can be found on the right hand side of the hob top.
  • The control knobs can be turned either clockwise or anti-clockwise to select a heating level. The numbers around the outside of each control knob indicates the power level that you have set the zone to.
  • A marking to the bottom right of each control knob, indicates which zone that it controls

Turning on a zone and setting a power level

  • Turn the control knob of the zone that you wish to cook on, clockwise or anticlockwise until it reaches the power level that you desire.
  • Each cooking zone can be adjusted between 1 and 6, one being the coolest zone setting and six being the hottest zone setting.
  • When you have finished cooking, make sure that you turn the control knob anti-clockwise, to the 0 position

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 hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre 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 diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
  • You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch the solid plates. 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 enameled 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 hob surface. Any spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not prevent the hob surface from becoming damaged.
  • IMPORTANT: The 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.
  • DO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE BECOMES BROKEN OR CRACKED

Cleaning and maintenance

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

Cleaning the hob top

  • Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with water and a little washing up.
  • Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface; you should clean it using water and a little washing up liquid.
  • Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob surface is still warm. 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 and a little washing up liquid. Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
  • If the hob top is heavily soiled then if the hob surface is made from stainless steel, then a suitable stainless steel cleaner should be used.
  • IMPORTANT: If a stainless steel cleaner is not used regularly, then it is possible for the surface of the hob to change color over a period of time.
  • For other hob surfaces, a cleaner such as “Hob Brite” or “Bar Keepers Friend” may be appropriate.

Using a specialist hob cleaner
It is possible to purchase specialist ceramic hob cleaner/conditioner. You should follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the specialist ceramic hob cleaner. You should ensure that it is suitable for use on your appliance.

Maintaining the solid plates

  • If something is spilt onto the plate itself, then it can be removed using a soft brush, plastic or nylon scourer and warm water.
  • To keep the solid plates in good condition, you should put a little olive oil onto a kitchen towel and rub it onto the surface of the plate. The next time the plate is used, then it may produce a little smoke.
  • Alternatively you can use a hotplate conditioner; these products can normally be found at larger supermarkets and hardware stores. The manufacturer’s instructions should be followed when using these products.
  • IMPORTANT: If the solid plates are not maintained regularly with olive oil or a hotplate conditioner, then they may rust
