6. Residual heat indication by zone

4EN 6 USE Before use, read the separate safety instructions first! Pans Always place a pan in the middle of a cooking zone. Pans for ceramic cooking Ceramic cooking requires a particular quality of pan.

• Only use pans that are suitable for electric cooking with: ▷ a thick base (minimum 2.25 mm); ▷ a flat base. Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans! The enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from the steel), if you switch the hob on at a high setting when the pan is (too) dry; the base of the pan may warp - due, for example, to overheating or to the use of too high a power level. Minimale pandiameter Do not use pans that are smaller than the cooking zone. This will prevent food remains ending up on the red-hot cooking zone. Burnt-on food remains are difficult to remove. In addition, the handles may become too hot and a lot of energy is lost.

• Tempered glass cookware with special ground bottom may be used on the cooking zones if its diameter fits that of the cooking zones. Cookware with larger diameter may crack due to thermal tension.

• Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer suitable for use on a ceramic hob.

• Sliding pans can cause scratches that cannot be removed.

• Only place pans with clean, dry bottoms on the cooking surface. This will avoid causing stains that are difficult to remove.

• Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid energy loss.

• Slide the bottom of the pan over a slightly damp cloth, before placing the pan on the cooking zone. This prevents dirt getting on to the cooking surface.EN 7 USE Cooking power levels Because the settings depend on the quantity and composition of the contents of the pan, the table below is intended as a guideline only. Use level ‘boost’ to:

• bring the food or liquid to the boil quickly;

• fry boiled potatoes;

• deep fry foods. Use level 7 and 8 to:

• fry thick slices of breaded meat;

• fry thin slices of (breaded) meat; Use level 4-6 to:

• complete the cooking of large quantities;

• defrost hard vegetables;

• fry thick slices of breaded meat. Use level 1-3 to:

• melt cheese;EN 8 Switching on and off Switching on

1. Place a pan on a cooking zone and turn the control knob to the desired setting.

▷ The cooking zone will then heat up. The cooking zone switches on and off automatically to provide the power you have set. At lower settings the cooking zone is off for a long time and on from time to time. At higher settings the cooking zone is on for a long time and off from time to time. Switching off

1. Turn the knob to the zero position.

Residual-heat indicator

• The indicator shows that the cooking zone is still hot, and goes out as soon as the glass top reaches a safe temperature.

• Residual heat is indicated by a light for each cooking zone on the glass hob. Using the expandable cooking zone

1. Turn the control knob to the desired setting.

▷ The ‘basic’ zone will switched on first (inner circuit).

2. To switch on the expandable zone, turn the knob till the double circuit mark until “click” is

heard. ▷ The second zone is switched on.

3. Turn the control knob back to the desired setting.

▷ To switch off the expandable cooking zone, turn the control knob to position 0. OPERATIONEN 9 Cleaning Daily cleaning

• Special cleaning agents for ceramic hobs have the advantage that a thin layer remains on the glass surface so that over-cooked food and lime scale are less likely to get burnt into the hob, making it easier to clean the next time.

• It is best to let the hob cool down before cleaning it.

• Over-cooked food containing a lot of sugar and acids, such as apple sauce, rhubarb or red cabbage are best removed immediately with a damp dish cloth to prevent them getting burnt into the hob. Be careful with the hot cooking zone!

• Best for daily cleaning is a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent.

• Dry with kitchen paper or a dry towel. Stubborn stains

• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent such as washing-up liquid.

• Remove water marks and lime scale with vinegar.

• Metal marks (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove. Special agents are available.

• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar is also best removed with a glass scraper. Never use

• Never use abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and lime scale can accumulate.

• Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers. MAINTENANCEEN 10 General If you notice a crack in the glass top (however small), switch the hob off immediately, unplug the hob, turn off the (automatic) fuse switch(es) in the meter cupboard or, in the event of a permanent connection, set the switch in the power supply lead to zero.) Contact the service department. Troubleshooting table If the appliance does not work properly, this does not always mean that it is defective. Try to deal with the problem yourself first by checking the points mentioned below or check for more information the website ‘www.pelgrim.nl’. Symptom Possible cause Solution A slight smell is noticeable the first few times the hob is used. The new appliance is heating up. This is normal and will disappear once it has been used a few times. Ventilate the kitchen. The pans make a noise while cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to the saucepan. At high settings this is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the pans or the hob. The hob is not working and the control light doesn’t light up. There is no power supply due to a defective cable or a faulty connection. Check the fuses or the electric switch (if there is no plug). A fuse blows as soon as the hob is switched on. The hob has been wrongly connected. Check the electrical connections.
