Residual Heat Indicator

The hob also features 5 warning lights which are connected to the corresponding plates.

When the temperature of a cooking plate is above 60°C, the relevant warning light will also light up to warn of heat on the surface of the hob.

This light also stay on after the cooking plate has been switched off to show that the hob surface is still hot.

This residual heat will lasts for a long time after the cooking plate has been switched off.

During this time you should avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking area. Please pay special attention to ensure that children are not allowed near the hob.

The light will switch off automatically as soon as the surface temperature of the cooking plate falls below 60°C.

Cooking Hints:

To reduce the cooking time, you can turn the control knob to the max when you switch the plate on.

After a short time you can set the control knob to the position required for cooking.

You should only use pots and pans with flat bases (pans with the test mark for glass-ceramic hobs are available from specialist shops).

The diameter of the pan should match that of the cooking plate (or be slightly bigger) to make the most of the energy.

Since the cooking surface will stays hot for a certain time after

the plate has been switched off, you can switch it off 5 or 10 minutes before the end of the cooking.

The residual heat of the hob will complete the cooking. –  To save electricity, use pan lids whenever possible.

–  Never cook the food directly on the glass ceramic cooktop.

Deep Fat Frying

For safety purposes when deep fat frying, do not fill the pan more than one third full of oil.

DO NOT cover the pan with a lid and DO NOT leave the pan unattended.

In the unfortunate event of a fire, leave the pan where it is and turn off the control knobs.

Place a damp cloth or lid over the pan to smother the flames. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30minutes before moving the pan.

DO NOT USE WATER ON THE FIRE.
