THE HOB SURFACE

The glass ceramic hob is fitted with different surface units :

. halolight zone

. radiant zone

- Halolight zone :

is regulated by a control knob with 6 heat positions.

It is a combination of halogen (1/3) and high light (2/3).

The temperature rise of this surface unit is extremely rapid.

It is suitable for frying meat, rapid boiling and intensive cooking where a high temperature is required for a very short period of time.

- Radiant zone :

is regulated by a control knob with 6 heat positions.

It offers either rapid or slow rises in temperature and offers greater stability maintaining the required temperature. It is extremely precise and offers very good diffusion. It is recommended for simmering and for cooking stews, but it is also good for prolonged cooking.

HOB COOKWARE ADVICE

Using good quality cookware is critical for setting the best performance from your hob.

• Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat bases : using this type of cookware will prevent hot spots that cause food to stick. Thick metal pots and pans will provide an even distribution of heat.
• Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry : when filling pans with liquid or using one that has been stored in the refrigerator, ensure that the base of the pan is completely dry before placing it on the hob. This will help to avoid staining the hob.
• Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely cover the surface unit : the size of the pan should be no smaller than the heating area. If it is slightly wider the energy will be used at its maximum efficiency.

THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE

The following information will help you to choose cookware which will give good performance.

Stainless Steel : highly recommended.

Especially good with a sandwich clad base. The sandwich base combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat distribution).

Aluminium : heavy weight recommended.

Good conductivity. Aluminium residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium should not be used.

Cast Iron : usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Copper Bottom / stoneware: heavy weight recommended.

Good performance, but copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the hob is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the hob.

Porcelain/enamel : Good performance only with a thiny smooth, flat base.

Glass-ceramic : not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

HOW TO OPERATE THE GLASS CERAMIC HOB

• Locate the sign corresponding to the cooking zone that you need :

rear

right

rear

left

front

left

front

right

Each surface unit is regulated by a control knob which provides access to any power levels.

• It is recommended that heat setting is at its highest until it has properly warmed up and then lower to the desired cooking setting.
• The residual heat indicator lights up when the heat zone temperature reaches 60^ and above. It will stay on, even if the unit is switched off, until the surface has cooled down.

It will switch off when the temperature of the heat zone falls below 60^ .

• To switch off an heat zone, turn the corresponding knob back on the "0" setting.
• Positions : The examples below are intended as a guide. When you become familiar with using your hob you will be able to work out the settings which suit you best.

Positions		Some tips ......
1	Very low	To keep a dish hot, melt butter and chocolate ....
2	Low	Slow cooking, sauces, stews, rice pudding, poached eggs ...
3	Moderately	Beans, frozen foods, fruit, boiling water ....
4	Medium	Steamed apples, fresh vegetables, pasta, crepes, fish ....
5	High	More intense cooking, omelettes, steaks ....
6	Very high	Steaks, chops, frying...

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before carrying out any maintenance work on the hob, allow it to cool down.
• Only products, (creams and scrapers) specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces should be used. They are obtainable from hardware stores.
• Avoid spillages, as anything which falls on to the hob surface will quickly burn and will make cleaning more difficult.
• It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which are liable to melt, such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based products.

MAINTENANCE:

. Place a few drops of the specialised cleaning product on the hob surface.
. Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp kitchen paper.
. Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.

If there are still some stubborn stains:

. Place a few more drops of specialised cleaning fluid on the surface.
. Scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of 30^ to the hob, until the stains disappear.
. Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.
Repeat the operation if necessary.

A FEW HINTS:

Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to prevent scratches and wear. Make sure that the surface is clean before using the hob again.

To remove marks left by water, use a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then wipe with absorbent paper and a few drops of specialised cleaning fluid.

The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from flat-bottomed cooking vessels, however, it is always better to lift them when moving them from one zone to another.

The control knobs can be removed for a complete cleaning. However, you must care not to let any liquid go into the open zones, and then to push the knobs fully on fitting back.

NB: do not use a sponge which is too wet.

• never use a knife or a screwdriver.
• a scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface, as long as it is kept at an angle of 30^ .
• never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach of children.
• never use abrasive products or scouring powders.

- The metal surround :

To safely clean the metal surround wash with soap and water, rinse, then dry with a soft cloth.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Cooking zones that do not maintain a rolling boil or a fast enough frying rate.

• You must use pans which are absolutely flat. If light is visual between the pan base and a straight edge, the surface unit will not transfer heat properly.

Foods cook slowly.

• Pan bottoms should closely match the diameter of the heat zone selected.

• Improper cookware being used. Pan bases should be flat, fairly heavy-weight and the same diameter as the heat zone selected.

Tiny scratches (may appear as cracks or abrasions) on the glass surface of the hob.

• Incorrect cleaning methods, cookware with rough bases, or coarse particles (salt or sand) trapped between the cookware and the surface of the hob. Use recommended cleaning procedures, be sure cookware bases are clean before use and use cookware with smooth bases.

Metal markings (may appear as scratches).

• Do not slide aluminium cookware across the surface. Use recommended cleaning procedure to remove marks.

• Incorrect cleaning materials have been used, spillage or grease stains remain on the surface, use a razor scraper and recommended cleaning product.

Dark streaks or specks.

• Use a razor scraper and recommended cleaning product.

Areas of discoloration on cooktop.

• Marks from aluminium and copper pans as well as mineral deposits from water or food can be removed with the cleaning cream.

Hot sugar mixtures / plastic melted to the surface.

See the Glass Hob Cleaning section.

The hob is out of order, or some heat zones do not work.

• The shunt bars are not properly fitted on the terminal block. Check the connection is made in conformity with the instructions page 20 to 22.
