Your new appliance
Page 2 shows an overall view of your new appliance as well as
information on the measurements and power of the hobs.
Electric hobs
Before using for the first time
To remove the new smell, switch the hotplates on to full power
for five minutes, one by one, without placing any pans on top.
Do not switch more than one hotplate on at a time. At this point
it is normal to notice smoke and odours, but these will
disappear over time.
Caution!
Do not operate the hotplates without placing pans on top,
except during this initial heating phase.
Operation
Switching on
Turn the control knob anticlockwise to the required setting.
Setting 1: low power.
Setting 6 or 9 (depending on the model): full power.
Note: It is recommended to start cooking on full power and
then to use intermediate power levels after a few minutes.
Switching off
Turn the control knob clockwise to the off setting.
Residual heat
The electric hob can be switched off slightly before the end of
the cooking time. The residual heat will enable you to continue
cooking for several minutes, thus saving energy.
Precautions for use
The following advice is intended to help you save energy and
prevent pan damage:
Use pans which are suitably sized for the hotplate. The
■
diameter of the base of the pan should match that of the
hotplate, and should not be smaller.
Use a pan with thick flat base.
■
Do not use damaged pans that do not sit on the hotplate in a
■
stable manner.
Place the pan in the centre of the hotplate. Otherwise it could
■
tip over.
Always use the pan lids when cooking.
■
Do not strike the hob and do not place excessive weight on it.
■
Pans should be placed on the hob carefully.
■
Do not cover the hob with aluminium foil or similar products
■
when cooking. This could damage the hob.
Do not allow liquids to boil over onto the hob and hotplates.
■
Use deep pans when cooking with large quantities of liquid.
The hob must be kept dry. Salt water and wet pans can
■
damage the hob. Do not cook with wet pans.
