How to use the cooking zones
The heating areas are the circles marked on the hob. Use pots and pans that completely cover the circles.
IMPORTANT:
Remember:
-Place the pan on the cooking zone before turning the control on.
-Use pots and pans with flat, solid bases.
-Use pots with the same diameter as the cooking zones or slightly larger.
-Dry the bottom of the pot before putting it on the cooking zone.
-Do not scrape the pot along the glass. This will damage it.
-While you are using the hotplate, please, keep children well away. Make sure that pot handles are in a safe position. Never leave a pan of fat or cooking oil unattended.
-Cooking zones stay hot after use for some time; don’t leave objects on the hob or touch the top until the residual heat indicator light is off.
-Don’t use plastic pots or aluminium sheets on the hob.
-Don’t use hob as a work surface.
CAUTION:- If a crack in the hob surface becomes visible, due to accidental damage etc., isolate the appliance from the electricity supply immediately by turning it off at the wall and arrange for its repair.
DO NOT RECONNECT THE HOB TO THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY UNTIL AFTER REPAIR! Before any cleaning operation, disconnect the appliance from the electric circuit.
