Operation of the hotplates
Roaster plate
Switch on the round Halogen hotplate (18.0 cm)
as described under “Simmering and frying”.
The roaster plate is activated by means of
touch control CX> (figure 4/F). The symbol CX>
glows with a red control light.
Dual circuit hotplate
The small diameter hotplate (12 cm) is switched
on as described under “Simmering and frying”.
The dual circuit is activated by means of touch
control @ (figure 4/E). The symbol @ glows
with a red control light.
The small diameter hotplates are switched off
as normal.
Should you wish to use both the dual circuit
and roaster plates together - follow instruc­
tions above but press 4/E and 4/F one after
the other, not together.
Care and cleaning of the ceramic hob
Care
■ Use only pans with smooth, flat bases
intended for use on electric cookers.
Never use pans with a rough base, eg
cast iron, or enamel pots with an electro­
graphite base - these will scratch the
cooking area.
■ Always dry the pan base before placing it
on the cooking area - scale deposits will
damage the cooking area.
■ Always select the correct pan size for the
hotplate.
■ Place the pan in the centre of the hotplate.
Do not use the ceramic hob as a chopping
board - dirt and food residues (especially
those containing sugar) will burn in whilst
cooking is in progress and damage the
cooking area. Grains of sand will leave
scratches on the cooking area.
Take care not to scratch the surface of the
ceramic glass with sharp edged jewellery
(eg diamond ring).
Do not scatter sugar or allow sugar solu­
tions (jam, jelly, etc) to boil over onto the hot
surface, as permanent damage may occur.
Cleaning
Clean the hob thoroughly before using it for
the first time and at regular intervals afterwards.
General rules
■ You should not clean the hob until It has
cooled to the point where it is safe to touch.
It is easier to clean when cold, or just warm,
and there is no risk of burning yourself.
■ After EVERY cleaning, wipe over the
surface with a damp cloth, then polish dry.
Do not use sponges or washing up cloths
which have been used for other purposes.
■ Make sure that all traces of cleaning
products are moistened and thoroughly
wiped off - if not, they could have a corro­
sive effect when the surface is reheated.
Never use pan cleaners or scouring
powders, soap Impregnated steel wool or
sponges with a rough, abrasive surface,
chemical cream cleaners, bleaching agents,
rust and stain removers; all these have a
corrosive effect and can damage the glass
surface.
