Using the hotplates
The control panel incorporates
knobs to operate the four hot plates.
A) This is a 7 position control knob:
0 = off and 1-3 indicate the levels of
power up to the maximum.
B) Double circuit cooking zone: this
cooking zone has two heating ele-
ments.
- To switch on the smaller cooking
zone, turn the relevant control knob
to the required heat setting between
1 and 3.
- To switch on both heating elements,
turn the control knob to maximum
heat setting (3) then turn the knob
further to nearly reach the “0” sym-
bol. You will hear a “click” and the
wider cooking zone will switch on.
Then turn back the knob and adjust
it to the required heat setting. Now
the two heating elements will oper-
ate together, giving a higher power
output that a normal cooking zone.
Ceramic glass hob

electrolux 43
Practical hints
Hob pilot light
The ceramic glass hob is equipped
with a pilot light which turns on when the
surface is too hot; it is a helpful device
which protects users from burns.
This light turns on some minutes af-
ter the plate has been set into operation,
abd it stays on during the whole time of
functioning and also when the plate is off
to show the presence of residual heat in
the pyroceram surface.
The pilot light turns finally off only
when the surface temperature de-
creases to safety values (lukewarm tem-
perature), more o less 50°C, allowing
users to clean the plate with no risk.
The ceramic glass hob is resistent to
sudden changes in temperature, it is
insensitive to heat and cold and hals also
a good resistence to mechanical blows;
a sharpened object, however, no matter
if it is small (for example a point of a knife)
can irreparably damage the cooking sur-
face, jeopardising its functionality.
Before using the cooking plate for the
first time, carefully wash the pyroceram
plate with a non-abrasive detergent, dry
it and then wsitch it on for about 10 mi-
nutes at the highest position.
When using the cooking plate for the
first time, unpleasant smells, or smell of
burnt material, might be smelt: this is
absolutely normal and it is due to the
evaporation of greasy working residues
and of hte dope used during the installa-
tion. These smells will vanish after some
time of working.
If scratches or cracks are no-
ticed, disconnect the ap-
pliance from the
electricalsupply to avoid the
risk of electric shock and call
your nearest Service Force
Centre.

Suitable pans and pots
Remember that a large pan offers a
larger surface to heat and therefore
cooks food quicker than a narrow pan.
Always use pans of a size suitable for
the food to be cooked. In particular, take
care that pans are not too small for liquid
preparations which could easily spill over
or that they are not too big for food
which must be cooked quickly;
uncovered areas on the bottom are
easily burnt by fats and juice.
For cakes, it is preferable to use tins
which do not open. A tin which opens
lets out fruit juices and sugar which,
when spilling onto the bottom of the
oven, caramelize and are difficult to
clean. Avoid placing pans with plastic
handles in the oven as they may not
support the heat.
Saucepans suitable for use on solid
plate hobs should have several
characteristics:
- they should be heavy duty.
- they should fit the heat area exactly,
or be slightly larger for efficient use,
NEVER smaller.
- they should have a flat base to
ensure good contact with the plate.
This is particularly important when
using pans for high temperature frying or
pressure cooking.
Ensure pans are large enough to
avoid liquids being split onto the plates.
Never leave the plates on without a
pan on them or with an empty pan on
them.
Particular care should be taken when
cooking with oil or fat.
During cooking, when using
fats or oils, take particular care
as they can, when over-
heated, self-ignite.
