Hotpoint EW41 manual Ceramic Hob

Ceramic Hob

CAUTION: AS SOON AS ANY CRACK IN SURFACE BECOMES VISIBLE, DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE IMMEDIATELY FROM THE SUPPLY.

Under no circumstances should the hob be used with aluminium foil in contact with the hob surface.

Under no circumstances place plastic vessels or utensils on a hot hob surface.

Under no circumstances use the hob as an area for storage.

The following ceramic heaters are located beneath the circular cooking areas:–

Front Right	–	1200w
Rear Right	–	1800w
Rear Left	–	1200w
Front Left	–	1800w

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 O position, the numbers on the control panel around the knob will show settings of 1–7, 7 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 7, 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.

Settings 1 to 4 provide inputs of 8% to 40% for simmering.

The control will be Off when O shows on the control panel.

If hob should become cracked, Do not use until repaired.
