IMPORTANT: IMPORTANT:
IMPORTANT: You should clean the cooktop surface and solid plates (see
“Cleaning and maintenance” section).
oYou should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes at the
maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new smell that exists and
e aporate any humidity that has formed on the heating elements during
transit.
oWhen doing this burn off process, an appropriately sized saucepan
containing cold water should be placed on the zone in question.
oDo not burn off more than one zone at a time.

oAll operations are performed by means of the 4 control knobs that can be
found on the right hand side of the cooktop top.
oThe control knobs can be turned either clockwise or anti-clockwise to select a
heating le el. The numbers around the outside of each control knob
indicates the power le el that you ha e set the zone to.

oThe first few times the hob top is used, it may gi e off an acrid, burning smell.
This smell will disappear completely with repeated use.
oThe hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre and power.
oThe positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked on the hob
top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on these zones for efficient
heating to occur. Pans should ha e the same diameter as the cooking zone that
they are being used on.
oYou should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch the solid
plates.
oBefore use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean and dry.
oWhen cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly conca e, as they expand
when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This will allow the heat to
transfer more easily.
oThe best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of enamelled steel
and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms.
oIf these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of heat and
energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread to the hob, frame and
surrounding cabinets.
oPreferably co er pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat.
oAlways cook egetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce cooking
times.
oFood or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob top if it comes
into contact with the hob surface. Any spillages should be wiped up
immediately, howe er this may not pre ent the hob surface from becoming
damaged.
o IMPORTANT:
IMPORTANT: IMPORTANT:
IMPORTANT: The hob surface is tough; howe er it is not unbreakable and can
be damaged. Especially if pointed or hard objects are allowed to fall on it with
some force.
