Frequently Asked Questions - PAS6100E PROGRESS

How to adjust the cooking level on the Progress PAS6100E hob?

Turn the knob corresponding to the cooking zone clockwise to increase the level (from 1 to 9) and counterclockwise to decrease it. Position 0 turns off the zone.

What does the residual heat indicator mean?

The light turns on when the cooking zone is hot. It indicates a risk of burns. Do not touch the zone while the light is on. You can use the residual heat to keep food warm or melt ingredients.

How to clean the ceramic glass surface?

Clean after each use with a damp cloth and a little liquid detergent. For stubborn dirt (sugar, melted plastic), use a scraper designed for ceramic glass. Avoid abrasive products that scratch the surface.

What cookware to use on this hob?

Use pots and pans with a flat and thick bottom, preferably stainless steel or enamel. Avoid copper or aluminum bases that leave marks. Ensure the bottom diameter matches the size of the cooking zone.

What to do if a cooking zone does not heat up?

First check that the knob is set to a level other than 0. If the problem persists, check the circuit breaker of your electrical installation. If the circuit breaker trips frequently, contact a qualified electrician.

How to save energy while cooking?

Place utensils on the zone before turning it on. Cover containers with a lid. Turn off the zone before the end of cooking to use residual heat. Adapt the zone size to the diameter of the pan.

Can I install the hob myself?

No, installation and electrical connection must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with current standards. Use a sealing gasket between the worktop and the hob.

What to do in case of sugar or plastic spillage?

Immediately remove these substances while the surface is still hot using a scraper to prevent them from burning and damaging the ceramic glass. Allow to cool before cleaning normally.

How to use the residual heat function?

After turning off a zone, the residual heat indicator remains on. You can then keep food warm or melt butter or chocolate without consuming energy.

Where to find the serial number of my appliance?

The serial number (S/N) and product reference (PNC) are on the rating plate located under the hob. Write these down before contacting after-sales service.

3. To end the cooking process, turn to the Off position.

Tips on Cooking and Frying

Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

Cookware

• You can recognise good cookware from the bottoms of the pans. The bottom should be as thick and flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with aluminium or copper bottoms can leave discolorations on the glass ceramic surface which are difficult or impossible to remove.

Energy saving

Diagram showing two cooking pots with X and ✓ symbols indicating different cooking methods or conditions.

Always place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.
If possible, always place lids on the pans.
Switch cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time, to take advantage of residual heat.
Bottom of pans and cooking zones should be the same size.

Installation Instructions

Safety instructions

Warning! This must be read!

The laws, ordinances, directives and standards in force in the country of use are to be followed (safety regulations, proper recycling in accordance with the regulations, etc.) Installation may only be carried out by a qualified electrician. The minimum distances to other appliances and units are to be observed. Anti-shock protection must be provided by the installation, for example drawers may only be installed with a protective floor directly underneath the appliance. The cut surfaces of the worktop are to be protected against moisture using a suitable sealant. The sealant seals the appliance to the work top with no gap. When building in, protect the underside of the appliance from steam and moisture, e.g. from a dishwasher or oven. Avoid installing the appliance next to doors and under windows. Otherwise hot cookware may be knocked off the rings when doors and windows are opened.

Warning! Risk of injury from electrical current.

• The electrical mains terminal is live.
• Make electrical mains terminal free of voltage.
• Follow connection schematic.

• Observe electrical safety rules.

• Ensure anti-shock protection by installing correctly.

• The appliance must be connected to the electrical supply by a qualified electrician.

Warning! Risk of injury from electrical current.

• Loose and inappropriate plug and socket connections can make the terminal overheat.
• Have the clamping connections correctly installed by a qualified electrician.
