the control to ZERO and then turn it on
again.
Whether only one ring is turned on, or
both, you can regulate the temperature by
setting the control to intermediary posi-
tions, just as with the normal and halogen
hobs described in the previous paragraph.
With double circuit regulators, when
the control is set to “0” it may only be
turned clockwise, as there is a catch
which prevents you moving from “0” to
“12” and vice-versa.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS
When a heating area reaches a tempera-
ture of more than 60±15ºC the correspon-
ding residual heat indicator comes on, and
stays on - even if the control is set to zero
- until the temperature drops. However,
special attention should be paid to the
temperature of the cooking area because
there is a possibility, albeit remote, that the
indicator will fail and that the temperature
in that area will not be shown.
Advice on using the
hotplates effectively
In order to achieve the best results from
cooking, the following guidelines should
be followed:
* Use pans with a flat base, as the greater
the surface contact between the pan
and the glass, the greater will be the
heat transmission. Figure 7 shows how
pans that are dented or concave have a
smaller contact surface.
* We recommend the use of heavy pans so
that the base is more difficult to dent.
* The use of pans with a diameter which is
smaller than that indicated in the heating
area is not recommended.
* Make sure that the pans are well cen-
tred on the outlines shown on the hea-
ting area.
* Dry the pans’ bases before putting them
on the glass ceramic hob.
* Do not leave any plastic object or uten-
sil, or any aluminium foil, lying on the
glass hob.
* Do not drag pans with corners or edges
that could damage the glass.
* Do not use the glass ceramic hob
without a pan on the area that is swit-
ched on.
* Do not cook with plastic pans.
* Pans should be made of a material
which is heat-resistent so that they do
not melt on the glass.
* The glass will tolerate bangs from big
pans that do not have sharp edges. Be
careful with impacts from small, sharp
instruments.
Avoid spilling sugar, or products
containing sugar, on the glass, since
these may react with the glass and
damage the surface.
