The hob

The hob has four hotplates. The front right hotplate is the

rapid hotplate, and is identified by a red spot. This

hotplate has built-in protection against overheating.

The front left hotplate is thermostatically controlled,

and is identified by three Ts. The built-in thermostat

ensures that the hotplate maintains an even temperature

once it has reached the setting selected. This means

• that the frying pan/saucepan maintains a constant

temperature, which is important for achieving good

results.

• that you rarely have to alter the control setting

while cooking

• a minimal risk of pans boiling over

• a minimal risk of food burning onto pans, e.g.

foods containing milk

Using the hob

Never leave the cooker unattended while deep fat

frying, or when using it for melting fats, paraffin

wax or other flammable substances. In the event

of a fire, turn off all the controls and the cooker

hood fan.

SMOTHER THE FIRE WITH A PAN LID,

never use water.

The controls can be turned clockwise as well as anti-

clockwise. The control setting you choose will depend

on your pans, what you are cooking and the quantity.

Use the recommendations given below as a guide and

you will soon learn the correct control settings.

The thermostatically-controlled hotplate

The control has so called “click-positions” for mini-

mum and maximum heat. There are no fixed settings

in between, making it possible to tune the setting for a

better result. The time it takes for the hotplate to heat

up varies according to the chosen setting. It takes

about 7 minutes for the hotplate to heat up for frying

pancakes on setting 9. The thermostatic control works

best if you use a good frying pan/saucepan. Turn the

control to the recommended setting straight away:
