The cooking area returns to its original colour when the heating element is switched OFF and cools. Hotplates When the control is turned from the 0 position, the settings on the control knob will show 1 - 6, these are 6 fixed positions for cooking. 6 is the highest setting, for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the knob to a lower setting which will vary according to size and type of saucepan, the amount and type of food, and whether or not the lid is fitted. Pans can be placed on the unheated areas of the panel when cooking is finished and before serving food. It is inadvisable at any time to leave a heating element switched on without a pan in position as this wastes energy, and could make soil or rub-off from aluminium pans more difficult to remove. To protect elements against overheating, safety cut-outs have been incorporated with each element. After several minutes with the control at setting 6 the safety cut-out switches the element Off and On continuously, thus preventing any adverse effects that may be caused by an excessive build-up of heat in the cooking area. Setting 1 provides low input for simmering. The control will be Off when the control knob is turned to the O position. If the hob should become cracked, never use until repaired. Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely.

Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to the smooth surface of the hob. Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause scratches in the surface of the hob. Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with the hob surround. Do not place anything between the base of the utensil and the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats, aluminium or wok stand. Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob when it is not in use. Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the hob. Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On unless they are being used. We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two heating areas. Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas. Always ensure that they are placed centrally over the heated areas and have the same diameter as the heating area used. We recommend not to use a utensil with a base diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins). Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the front cooking areas. Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned safely. General Information Notes (Ceramic Hobs) Safety requirements for deep fat frying IMPORTANT – As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in close proximity to the patterned cooking areas. 1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area. 2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil. 3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period. 4. Do not ...
