Frequently Asked Questions - CK1064KR Pelgrim

Why does a slight odor occur during the first uses?

It's normal. The new appliance heats up and this odor will disappear after a few uses. Ventilate the kitchen.

The pans make noise during cooking, is that normal?

Yes, this is due to the energy transfer from the hob to the pan. At high power, it's normal and does not damage the pan or the hob.

How to clean stubborn stains on the ceramic glass?

Use a mild cleaning product or vinegar for limescale marks. For burnt residues, use a special scraper. Avoid abrasives and metal sponges.

What does the residual heat indicator mean?

It indicates that the cooking zone is still hot. Do not touch while it is on. It turns off when the hob reaches a safe temperature.

How to use the combined cooking zone (dual circuit)?

Turn the knob to the dual circuit mark until you hear a 'click' to activate the second ring. Then set the desired power. To turn off, set the knob back to zero.

What is the Boost function?

It's a maximum power setting to quickly bring to a boil, blanch vegetables, or heat oil. Use it with caution.

What types of pans to use on this hob?

Use pans with a thick (minimum 2.25 mm) and flat base, suitable for electric cooking. Avoid those used on gas, as the base may be deformed.

What to do if the hob does not turn on?

Check the fuses or circuit breaker. Make sure the appliance is properly plugged in or that the cable is not damaged.

How to dispose of the appliance at end of life?

Do not dispose of it with household waste. Take it to a selective collection center or to a retailer who takes back the old appliance.

The hob is cracked, what to do?

Immediately turn off the appliance, unplug it or cut the fuse. Contact after-sales service. Do not use the hob anymore.

Introduction

This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. The hob is equipped with 'Cooklight' elements. These are very rapid-heating, radiant elements with a high efficiency, which is very favourable for heating-up times. What's more, these elements also have very good heat distribution. The ample space between the cooking zones makes cooking comfortable.

Cooking on a ceramic hob is different from cooking on a traditional appliance. Ceramic cooking makes use of heat radiation through the glass top.

For optimum safety the ceramic hob is equipped with a child lock, a cooking time limiter and a residual heat indicator, which shows which cooking zones are still hot.

This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the ceramic hob. In addition to information about operation, you will also find background information that can assist you in using this product.

Read the manual thoroughly before using the appliance, and store these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians. Please, therefore, stick the appliance identification card in the space provided, at the back of the manual. The appliance identification card contains all the information that the service technician will need in order to respond appropriately to your needs and questions.

Enjoy your cooking!

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.

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;
• 'shrink' greens;
  heat oil and fat;
• wok

Use level 9 to:

sear meats;
cook fish;
cook omelettes;
- fry boiled potatoes;
- deep fry foods.

Use level 7 and 8 to:

• fry thick pancakes;
• fry thick slices of breaded meat;
• fry bacon (fat);
• cook raw potatoes;
  make French toast;
• fry breaded fish;
  cook through pasta;
• 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:

simmer bouillon;
stew meats;
simmer vegetables;
- melt chocolate;
- poach;
- melt cheese;

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).

1. To switch on the expandable zone, turn the knob till the double circuit mark until "click" is heard.

The second zone is switched on.

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

To switch off the expandable cooking zone, turn the control knob to position 0.

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.

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.
