The cooking areas change colour when heated (become red) indicating which heating element is turned on. The cooking area returns to its original colour when the heating element is switched OFF and cools.

When the control is turned from the 0 position, the settings on the control panel 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.
