Operation
Ceramic hob cooking zones
To switch on a cooking zone, turn
the relevant control knob clockwise to
the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 - 9.
0- OFF
9- Maximum
The hob has two types of cooking
zones:
2 normal cooking zones (back left
and front right)
We recommend the plates are
switched to maximum (9) for a short
while to boost the cooking zone, and
then adjusted to the required setting.
2 double circuit cooking zones (front
left and back right)
The front left cooking zone has two
heating elements.
- To switch on the smaller circular
cooking zone, turn the relevant
control knob clockwise to the
required heat setting.
- To switch on both heating elements,
turn the control knob clockwise to
maximum heat setting (9) then turn
the knob further to nearly reach the
"0" symbol. You will hear a "click"
and the wider cooking zone will
switch on. Then turn back the knob
to position 9 and adjust it to the
required heat setting.
Please be aware that the two heat-
ing elements will now operate together,
giving a higher power output than a nor-
mal cooking zone.
Control knob for double circuit
cooking zone
Control knob for normal cooking
zone
Residual heat indicators
The hob is fitted with four residual
heat indicators corresponding to each
cooking zone. The corresponding indi-
cator will remain on until the temperature
falls below 30°C, even after the cooking
zone is switched off.
When a cooking zone is switched
on, a short buzzing may be
heard. This is quite normal and
does not affect the hob operation
in any way.
Mains on light
The mains on light will come on when
the oven function control knob and/or
the cooking zone control knob are set.

Using the ceramic glass hob
Ceramic hob cooking zones
Ceramic glass surface
The glass is hard, and has been tem-
pered to withstand heat, cold and tem-
perature shocks. But like all glass it is
sensitive to impact. Do not stand on the
ceramic glass surface.
If scratches or cracks are noticed,
disconnect the cooker from the electri-
cal supply to avoid the possibility of elec-
tric shock and call you nearest Service
Force Centre.
Keep all objects and materials which
can melt away from the cooking surface,
e.g. plastics, aluminium foil.
Care should be taken when prepar-
ing food or drinks containing sugar. If
anything of this nature accidentally
comes into contact with the ceramic
surface it must be scraped off immedi-
ately while still hot and wiped away to
avoid damage to the surface.
Energy consumption
To save energy, you should:
- use only cooking and frying utensils
with smooth, flat bases.
- place pots and pans in position be-
fore switching on the cooking zone.
- wherever possible, cover pots and
pans with a lid.
- switch off the cooking zone a few
minutes before the end of the cook-
ing time, in order to make use of the
residual heat.
- use the residual heat of the cooking
zones for keeping food warm or for
melting.
- position pots and pans centrally on
the cooking zones.

electrolux 11
Saucepans and frying pans
Saucepans and frying pans should
not be smaller than the cooking zone,
and preferably not more than 10-15 mm
larger than the diameter of the cooking
zone.
Always use cooking and frying uten-
sils with smooth, flat bases.
The bases should always be clean
and dry. Cook with a lid in place.
Check that the bases of utensils are
smooth and undamaged; bases with
burrs and sharp edges will scratch the
ceramic glass surface.
To avoid scratching or damaging the
ceramic cooking surface, pots and pans
should be moved on the plate by lifting
them, and not by sliding.
Utensils with aluminium and copper
bases can leave behind metallic
discolourations which can only be re-
moved with difficulty or sometimes not
at all.
Take care when frying food in
hot oil or fat, as the overheated
splashes could easily ignite.
