Hob | Rangemaster 90 Ceramic guide

The Hob

The hob control knobs can be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise.

On the dual circuit sections (those with two circles) turning the knob anticlockwise turns on the inner circle, turning it the other way heats up the whole area.

The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food affects the setting required. Higher settings are required for larger quantities of food.

Naturally, the surface must be washed after use in order to prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty.

When cooking on the hob you may see the hob area you are using switch off and on. This is caused by a safety device that limits the temperature of the hob. It is quite normal, especially when cooking at high temperatures. If it happens a lot with a particular pan however it may mean the pan is not suitable – perhaps too small or too uneven - for a ceramic hob.

Sugar spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore must be cleaned off with care immediately. Never let sugar spillage cool before trying to remove it.

If sugar or foods with high sugar content, aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally allowed to melt on the hob surface remove them immediately from the hot cooking area using a scraper to avoid any possible damage to the surface. See ‘Cleaning your cooker’.
