Features of Your Hob

Getting to Know Your

Hob
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Mistral Hob.
Before using your new Cooker, it is most important that you read and follow the instructions in this use and care booklet, even if you feel you are familiar with this type of appliance.

Your attention is drawn particularly to the section dealing with IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.
Find a safe and convenient place to keep this booklet handy for future reference.
This appliance has been designed to operate from a standard domestic power outlet. It is not intended for industrial or commercial use.

How to Save Energy
Using energy in a responsible way not only saves money but also helps the environment. So let’s save energy! And this is how you can do it:

• Use proper pans for cooking. Pans with thick, flat bases can save up to 1/3 on electric energy. Remember to cover pans if possible otherwise you will use four times as much energy!
• Match the size of the saucepan to the surface of the heating plates. A saucepan should never be smaller than a heating plate.
• Ensure heating plates and pan bases are clean. Soils can prevent heat transfer-and repeatedly burnt -on spillages can often only be removed by products which cause damage to the environment.
• Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched pot never boils!).
• Do not install the cooker in the direct vicinity of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise energy consumption increases unnecessarily.

Installation

Positioning

This appliance must be correctly installed by a suitably qualified person,
To avoid damaging your appliance.

• Cast iron and cast aluminium cookware with damaged bases may scratch the hob surface if they are dragged across it.
• Pans should be lifted on and off the hob surface and not dragged.
• Cooking zones should not be switched on without cookware placed on it. Also the cookware should not be empty.

WARNING: The adjacent furniture must be able to withstand a minimum temperature rise of 95°C above the ambient temperature of the room it is located in, during periods of use.

The appliance is to be built into a kitchen unit (depending on size) or 600 mm worktop, providing the following minimum distances are allowed:

• 700 mm between the hob surface and the underside of any horizontal surface above it.
• 50 mm clearance around the appliance and between the hob surface and any combustible materials.

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 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 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.

Cleaning Your Hob

Disconnect the hob from the power outlet. Allow to cool before cleaning.

• If a major spillage occurs inside the compartment, wipe clean as soon as possible with a damp cloth remembering to disconnect from the power source first.
• Do not immerse in water.
• DO NOT use spray-on or other cleaners as they may cause electrical damage. DO NOT use sharp utensils to clean.
• Remove heavy splatters after use with a nylon or polyester mesh pad, sponge or cloth dampened with warm water. Blot dry with paper towel or a soft, dry cloth.

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.

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.

Regular inspections
Besides keeping the hob clean, you should:

• Carry out periodic inspections of the control elements and cooking units of the hob. After the guarantee has expired you should have a technical inspection of the cooker carried out at a service centre at least once every two years.

Caution: All repairs and regulatory activities should be carried out by the appropriate service centre or by an appropriately authorized fitter.\
