Hotplates General Information Notes - All hobs

Warning: Extreme caution should be used when cleaning a hot hob

Important

Always clean off any spillage immediately with a clean cloth or kitchen roll to avoid unnecessary damage to the hob. Extreme care should be taken to avoid steam burns and hot surfaces when cleaning spillage from the hob.

When cooking food which contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a utensil which is large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore should be cleaned off with care immediately. If sugar spillage has occurred, remove it as long as it is still hot with a suitable metal scraper. This will avoid any damage. Never let it cool before removing.

Hotplates General Information Notes

CAUTION: IF AT ANY TIME A CRACK IN THE SURFACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE SUPPLY.

Always make sure that the base of the utensil to be used is dry before placing it on a ceramic hob.

Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface as damage can occur.

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

Warning: Even though the cooking area has returned to its original colour it may still be hot.

The controls for the hotplates can be turned in either direction.

Turn the control to 6 for fast cooking. To reduce the heat to cook more slowly or simmer, turn the control to a lower setting according to the size of the saucepan and the amount of liquid.

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 alu- minium pans more difficult to remove. To protect elements against over-heating, safety cut-outs have been incorporated with each element. After several minutes with the con- trol 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.
