Frequently Asked Questions - PAS6000E PROGRESS

How to turn the hob on and off?

To turn on, press the On/Off key (①) for 2 seconds. To turn off, press the same key for 1 second. After switching on, you must select a cooking level within 10 seconds, otherwise the hob switches off automatically.

How to activate child safety?

Turn on the hob without selecting a cooking level. Press both front zone keys (left and right) simultaneously for 4 seconds. The display shows L. The safety remains active even after switching off.

What to do if the display shows 'L'?

'L' means child safety is activated. To use it temporarily, turn on the hob, press the front zones for 4 seconds to deactivate until the next switch-off. For permanent deactivation, follow the same procedure then turn off the hob.

How to clean burnt-on residues on the ceramic hob?

Use a special ceramic hob scraper, holding it at an angle. Gently scrape off residues of sugar, plastic or aluminium. Then clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn marks, use a ceramic hob cleaner.

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

Check that more than 10 seconds have not passed since switching on: if so, turn the hob on again. Also check that child safety is not activated (L displayed). If the problem persists, unplug the appliance for a few minutes then plug it back in. If 'E' or a number is displayed, contact after-sales service.

What type of pans to use on this hob?

Use flat and thick-bottomed containers, preferably stainless steel or good quality enamel. Avoid aluminium or copper bases which may leave marks. Do not place empty containers on hot zones to avoid damaging the ceramic.

How to save energy during cooking?

Always place the container on the zone before switching it on. Use lids to reduce cooking times. Turn off the zone a few minutes before the end to take advantage of residual heat. Match the container size to the cooking zone.

What to do if the hob switches off by itself during use?

This may be due to the safety shut-off: if an object (cloth, pan) covers the touch keys for more than 10 seconds, the hob turns off. Remove the object and turn on again. If a zone remains on at the same level for too long, it will switch off automatically (see duration table). In this case, set the zone to 0 then adjust again.

Does electrical installation require an electrician?

Yes, connection must be made by a qualified electrician. Use a cable of type H05BB-F Tmax 90° (or higher). The connection to the mains must include an all-pole switch with contact opening distance of at least 3 mm.

How to contact after-sales service?

Prepare the model name (PAS6000E), product reference (PNC), serial number (S No.) visible on the rating plate, as well as the type of fault and error messages displayed. Contact your retailer or Progress after-sales service. All repairs must be carried out by an approved professional.

Tips on Cooking and Frying

Information on acrylamides

i 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

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.
