Indesit KP902CX Using the glass ceramic hob, 2500W/1000W 2000W/1000W, Automatic hotplate, Frying

Using the glass ceramic hob

￿The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of

GB	grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we
	recommend you remove these with a special non-
	abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours
	of use there may be a smell of rubber which will
	disappear very quickly.
	Description of the heating elements
	The radiant elements “A-B-C” consist of circular heating
	elements. These become red a few seconds after they
	have been switched on.
	They are extremely easy to use because they are similar
	to the other heating elements. Please refer to table 1.
	Control	knobs
	Each cooking zone is fitted with a control knob “E”,
	which can be used to continuously adjust the tempe-
	rature intensity level to values between a minimum of
	1 and a maximum of 12. Table1 lists the
	correspondences between the positions indicated on
	the knob and the use for which the hotplates are
	recommended.
	The “A-B” hotplate control knob usually only activates
	the small	/	part of the hotplate. To activate

the entire large hotplate, turn the knob past position

12, to the / symbol; a click will indicate that

the entire hotplate has been activated. The tempera- ture level may now be adjusted to the desired value, up to level 12, using the same knob.

Advice for the operation of the ceramic glass hob

To achieve the best results using your hob, there are several basic suggestions which should be taken into account while cooking or preparing food.

•Use pans with a flat base so as to ensure the pan adheres properly to the cooking zone.

•Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough to cover the cooking zone fully, in order to use all the available heat.

•Make sure that pan bases are always clean and dry, in order to guarantee perfect contact with the hob and to safeguard the durability of the hotplates and the pans themselves.

•Do not use cookware which has been used with gas burners. The concentration of heat from gas burners is such that it may warp the base of the pan, and therefore the desired result will never be achieved if it is then used on the glass ceramic hob.
