Ceramic glass surface
The glass is hard, and has been tempered to
withstand heat, cold and temperature 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 electrical
supply to avoid the possibility of electric
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 preparing food
or drinks containing sugar. If anything of this
nature accidentally comes into contact with
the ceramic surface it must be scraped off
immediately 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 before 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 cooking time, in order to make use
of the residual heat.
Using the ceramic glass hob
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
knobs are set.
- use the residual heat of the cooking zones for
keeping food warm or for melting.
- position pots and pans centrally on the cooking
zones.
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 utensils 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 removed with difficulty or sometimes not at all.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or
fat, as the overheated splashes could
easily ignite.
