THE GAS HOB

SELECTING THE HOB

USES OF THE HOB

The gas hob has three different burner sizes to suit different types of cooking:

To ensure maximum burner efficiency only use pots and pans with flat bases appropriate to the burner size used.

Larger burner (Rapid) - use a large pan for food such as chips.

Medium burners (Normal) - use for everyday cooking.

Small burner (Simmer) - use for simmering foods such as soups and stews.

The largest pan which you should use on any burner is 230mm (9"). The base of the smallest pan should not measure less than 100mm (4")

Ensure the pan supports are correctly fitted before using the hob.

See page 21.

2.When the burner has lit release the control and adjust the setting as required.

Warning: if the ignition button is not pressed immediately a build up of gas may cause the flame to spread.

SIM 533 specifications

The Electrolux SIM 533 is an innovative induction cooktop that revolutionizes the cooking experience with its blend of advanced technology and user-friendly design. This state-of-the-art appliance is engineered to meet the needs of modern kitchens, making it an ideal choice for both amateur cooks and culinary experts alike.

One of the standout features of the Electrolux SIM 533 is its induction cooking technology. Unlike traditional gas or electric stoves, induction cooking offers rapid heating and precise temperature control. The electromagnetic coils beneath the ceramic glass surface generate heat directly in the cookware, resulting in faster cooking times while using less energy. This efficiency not only saves on utility bills but also minimizes heat loss and provides a safer cooking environment.

The SIM 533 comes equipped with multiple cooking zones, allowing users to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously. Each zone is equipped with sensors that detect the size of the cookware, activating only the necessary elements to optimize energy use. Additionally, the cooktop features a smart bridging function that enables two zones to combine into one, accommodating larger pots and pans for versatile cooking options.

Another notable characteristic of this model is its intuitive touch control panel. The user interface is designed for ease of use, featuring clear displays and responsive touchkeys that make adjusting settings a breeze. Users can quickly adjust the temperature, set timers, and switch between cooking modes with just a few taps.

Safety is also a top priority in the design of the Electrolux SIM 533. The appliance includes a child lock feature to prevent accidental activation, as well as an automatic shut-off function that kicks in when the cooktop detects an empty or incorrectly placed pot. This thoughtful approach reduces the risk of fire hazards and enhances peace of mind during the cooking process.

Moreover, cleaning up after cooking is effortless due to the smooth ceramic glass surface, which resists stains and can be wiped down easily. The sleek design complements any kitchen aesthetic, adding a touch of elegance to cooking spaces.

In conclusion, the Electrolux SIM 533 induction cooktop stands out for its blend of modern technology, safety features, and user-friendly design. Whether you’re simmering sauces or searing meats, this appliance provides the precision and efficiency that today’s cooks demand. It's not just a cooktop; it's an essential kitchen companion that elevates the culinary experience.
