Resumen del manual
The higher the number, the greater the power. To turn off the cooking area, return the control to 0 and the cooking area is turned off. Pilot lights (A and B) When pilot lights are lit they indicate: A - one or more of the cooking areas are switched on. B - The ceramic surface is hot (in excess of 50°C). Even after a cooking area is turned off some types of pilot light stay on to show that the corresponding cooking area is still hot. These pilot lights warn you there is still the risk of injury by burning. 5 Practical Advice Choice of utensils: Every Electric Hob deserves the right choice of utensils. We recommend for optimum performance the use of good quality utensils. PANS SHOULD NOT: • Be concave (bowed in). • Be convex (bowed out). • Be rimmed. • Be deeply ridged. BUT SHOULD BE ESSENTIALLY FLAT Always • Use good quality flat-based cookware on all electric heat sources. • Place pans centrally on the hotplate. • Ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use. • Ensure pans match the size of the heating area. • Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only a low or medium heat is necessary. • Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources. • Lift pans, do not drag. • Use pan lids, except when frying. • Deal with spillage immediately, but with care. The Best Combinations: Below is a general guide to the types of pan suitable for different types of hobs and cookers. Remember pans should be good quality with smooth, flat bases. For any further information refer to the manufacturers instructions. Suitable Aluminium .. Stainless Steel with single layer copper base .. Stainless Steel with sandwich base of aluminium and stainless or aluminium and copper .. Enamelled Steel .. Enamelled Aluminium .. Enamelled based cast iron .. With Care Cast iron . Copper . Toughened glass or ceramic / glass / pottery . Not Recommended Mild steel, Ferro-magnetic or stainless with a magnetic sandwich base .. Never • Use gauze, metal pan diffusers, asbestos mats and stands eg. wok stands - they can cause overheating. • Use utensils with skirts or rims eg. buckets and some kettles. • Use badly dented or distorted pans. • Leave an element on when not cooking. • Cook food directly on the hotplate. • Drag or slide utensils across the hotplate. • Place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two hotplates. • Place plastic vessels or utensils on a hot hob. • Use the hob as an area for storage. Hob Spillages: 1. Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean cloth or a paper towel to avoid any unnecessary damage to the hob. Extreme care should be taken to avoid steam burns and hot surfaces when cleaning spillage from the hob. 2. When cooking food that contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a utensil which is large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore should be cleaned off with care immediately. If sugar spillage has occured, remove it as long as it is still hot, with the special scraper provided. This will avoid any damage. NEVER let it cool before removing. 3. Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before placing on the hob. IMPORTANT: Extreme caution should be used when cleaning the hot hob! 6 Care and Cleaning Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your hob, disconnect it from the power supply. Check that all controls are in the OFF position, '0', before reconnecting. NEVER USE: Washing powder, harch abrasive, scouring pads, aerosol cleaners or oven chemical clearners of any kind. Cleaning materials to avoid • Household abrasive powders, eg. Vim. • Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame. • Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface. The Ceramic Hob To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the hob and cooking utensils are clean and dry before use. Regular use of cleaner conditioner is recommended for proper care and protection of the hob surface. Apply conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It contains a mild cleaning agent, so that subsequent cleaning applications may clean off soil and apply a protective film at the same time. For stubborn stains or heavy soiling use any of the following materials, and finish off with conditioner: 1. Cif, non-scratch scouring cream. 2. Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser. 3. Special Powder Cleanser. Stainless Steel Wipe with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water followed by a wipe with a cloth wrung out in clean water and then dry with a soft clean cloth. Powder Cleanser - Mineral deposits that are present in hard water and some foods may cause discolouration, that appear in the form of grey or brown stains. The stains sometimes appear to be in or under the glass surface. If there are any persistent stains after using any of the other recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser may be applied, following the manufactures instructions. DO NOT use abrasive clean...
