What to use Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before using. 4. Types of sugar Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally good flavour. Control button 5. Crystallization Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not completely dissolved before bringing the jam to the boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting properties and colour of the jam. CHEC 6. To test jam for setting. If a jam thermometer is available, boil the jam to 140˚C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106˚C. If no thermometer is available, remove the pan from the heat, place a sample of jam on a cold dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen food compartment of a refrigerator). When cold, and if it is ready, it should crinkle and hold the mark of a finger run through it. Panel 7. The scum should be removed as soon as possible after setting, but marmalade should be allowed to cool before decanting into jars to prevent the peel rising. Controlbutton for operations 28 5 means that you do not have to adjust the heat constantly. CHEC control provides the zones with the following functions: Ceramic glass surface The ceramic glass surface has four cooking zones. When a zone is turned on, it will illuminate at various intervals depending on the heat setting selected. Even at the highest setting the zone is disconnected occasionally to ensure that the surface is not over-heated. The glass is hard, and has been tempered to withstand heat, cold and temperature shocks. But like all glass it is sensitive to impact. Do not stand on the ceramic glass surface. At the front of the ceramic glasssurface in the middle there are four fields. Each field corresponds to a cooking zone. When using a zone, the field concerned will show which CHEC function you are using and the setting at which you have set the zone. Automatic disconnection of “forgotten” zones. AUTOMAX at all settings. Setting of large zone on double zones. Child safety device on zones. Residual heat indicator When you switch off a zone, an "H" in the display indicates that the zone is still hot. The residual heat indicator will continue to be illuminated until the zone reaches a temperature of approx. 80˚C. Deep fat frying For safety purposes, when deep fat frying, fill the pan 1/3 full of oil. Do not cover the pan with a lid and do not leave the pan unattended. In the event of a fire, switch off at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames. Do not use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it. There are three single zones and one double zone. 5. Frying temperatures Temp in ˚C 170 175 180 Second frying of potatoes 190 Frying chicken and fish 195 200 First frying of potatoes Do not leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently switched on. 1. Preparing the food Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and bread crumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with batter coated foods as they will stick. 2. Quantity of oil For safety purposes, fill the pan only 1/3 full of oil. Cooking zones 4. Cooking the food Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add too much food at once or the temperature of the oil will be reduced and may result in soggy, greasy food. Turn the food if necessary, doughnuts float to the surface so they will not brown on the upper side if not turned. Once cooked, drain the food on absorbent paper. Preserving 1. Pan size Do not use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of the hob trim. 2. Filling the pan To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be no more than 1/3 full when all the ingredients have been added. 3. Testing the temperature of the oil It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small cube of bread into oil which should brown in just under a minute if the oil is at the correct temperature, or 190˚C. CHEC control Information about how to use the CHEC control function can be found in the section entitled “Operation instructions”. The CHEC control function allows electronic control of the zones. CHEC control enables you to set the heat with great precision, which 6 27 Before use Problems Solution Connection of child safety device on zones Zones will not come on, Child safety device has been activated.

Turn one of the 2 control buttons immediately to . 26 7 S A F E Service Before calling service – Technical advice Protection of the glass ceramic surface A protective film should be applied to the glass ceramic surface before use. This will make it easier to clean the surface, as well as preventing substances from being burnt onto the surface. This is what to do: 1. Pour a few drops of ceramic cleaning detergent such as vitroclen onto a piece of kitchen roll and rub the detergent into the entire surface. 2. Polish the surface with a clean cloth until it is dry. 8 Sympton Solution The hob is not working Check your earth leak circuit breaker. Check fuses. The hob becomes hot The ceramic hob will reach a temperature of 80˚C. It may, however, become even hotter if you use cooking utensils with uneven bases or which does not match the size of the cooking zone. The fuses keep blowing Too many electrical appliances may be in use at the same time. If the hob is connected to a 10 Amp fuse group, the risk of overloading will be considerable. The cooking zones do not heat sufficiently The cooking utensils must match the size of the cooking zone. Check that the cooking utensils have level bases by holding them against the edge of the work top, for example. Bring a litre of water to the boil in a saucepan with a lid. The cooking zone should be adjusted to the highest setting. The boiling time on the 12 cm cooking zone is approx. 25 min. The boiling time on the 14 cm cooking zone is approx. 13 min. The boiling time on the 18 cm cooking zone is approx. 10 min. 25 How to use Switch symbols (to the left) control for regulating the small cooking zone at the rear Two-phases zero-earth Cable type 1,5 mm² HO5VV-F.

Reinforcement beams Mounting of Reinforcement Beams A reinforcement Beam, with supporting flanges at each end, is included with each two-burner unit. For unit combinations, a reinforcement beam must be used between each unit. 12 21 Minimum distance to wall (nonflammable material): 50 mm The decorative pattern on the ceramic surface can become scratched and marred with use, depending upon maintenance, but does not adversely affect performance. Disconnection of AUTOMAX: If you do not wish to use AUTOMAX, observe the following procedure: 1. Turn the control button to AOFF. 2. Then turn the control button to the required setting. Such blemishes are not covered by the warranty and do not affect the operation of the hob. Spills and melts must be removed immediately, while the surface is still warm, using the scraper supplied with the unit. Especially damaging are melted plastic, aluminum, or any foodstuff containing sugar, including natural sugar, as these can create permanent “pockmarks” and craters on the ceramic surface. After scraping polish thoroughly with the cleaning agent supplied with the unit. Utensils which have been in contact with the above-mentioned melted materials must be cleaned throughly before used again on the ceramic-top hob unit. Setting the large zone on the double zones 1. Turn the control button to The display will show: 2. Then turn the control button to the required setting (e.g. setting 9). If you wish to disconnect the large zone, turn off the zone and then turn the control button to the required setting. Child safety device Connection and disconnection of the child safety device is described in the section entitled “Before use”. When the child safety device is activated the display will show: Defects in the ceramic surface which can be related to the above are not covered by the warranty. Warning: Aluminum foil and plastic utensils are not to be placed on hot surfaces. The surface may not be used for storage. Do not stare at the heating units when in operation. 20 13 Tips on the use of the ceramic hob unit When you turn on a zone the display will show: S A F E Do not slide saucepans across the surface of the hob - always lift the pan when placing it on, or removing it from the ceramic surface. Wipe the bottom surface of the pots and pans with a clean dry cloth before placing them on the ceramic surface. This helps to reduce cleaning and prevents scratching the hob glass. Wipe off spills whilst the hob is warm. Observe the following procedure to use a zone: 1. Turn the 2 buttons to at the same time. 2. Use one of the zones within 10 seconds. Select the highest setting for the cooking zones until the food is brought to the boil, then reduce the setting. Use saucepans with an even base. An uneven based saucepan may increase the electricity consumption by up to 50%. The light under the symbol in the display will disappear. The saucepan should match the cooking zone or be slightly larger. You can disconnect the child safety device permanently as follows: 1. Turn the 2 control buttons to and return to 0. 2. Turn one of the 2 control buttons immediately to . Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan to reduce electricity consumption. 14 19 Stainless steel surfaces Clean the appliance after use with a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water, use a small amount of liquid detergent for stubborn soiling. Stainless steel parts may become straw coloured with use, use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw discolouration. Never use metal wool, metal sponges or other abrasive cleaning agents. The ceramic glass hob 3. Wipe the ceramic hob clean with a damp cloth or kitchen roll. Tough stains can be removed by rubbing the stain hard with kitchen roll. 4. Wipe off remaining cleaning agent with a damp cloth. 5. Wipe with a dry cloth, if required. Make sure that the ceramic hob is dry when you heat it up again. Ceramic hobs can develop rainbow-like stripes if heated while damp. Immediately scrape off stains caused by food which has boiled over using the scraper supplied with the hob, spilled sugar, dishes containing sugar (jam, juice, etc.), melted plastic and aluminium foil while the ceramic hob is still hot. If the ceramic hob is allowed to cool it may become damaged. A dirty ceramic hob decreases the heat transfer between cooking zones and cookware. over will burn onto the hot cooking zone. Advice and hints for using the cooking zones If you use the advice below you will save energy and make your cleaning tasks easier. Saucepans with very shiny/bright bases will prolong the cooking time slightly compared with cooking utensils with matt/dark bases. Adjust the cooking zones correctly. Select the highest setting for the cooking zones until the food is brought to the boil. Then reduce the setting as far as possible, without the food going off the boil. Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan. Without a lid you use more than three times as much electricity. Use level saucepans. An uneven saucepan may increase the electricity consumption by up to 50 per cent. Check whether your saucepans have level bases by placing the item in question upside down on a work top and positioning a ruler on the base. A curved base, both inwards and outwards, will prolong the cooking time and increase the energy consumption After use the cooking zones should be wiped with a damp cloth with washing up liquid. For severe soiling you can follow these steps: The saucepan should match the cooking zone – or be slightly larger. Remember that a large saucepan can also hold small quantities. If the diameter of the base is too small, the energy consumption will increase, and any food boiling 1. Remove stains etc., with the ceramic hob scraper. 2. Make sure that the ceramic hob has cooled down. Use a ceramic cleaning agent, such as vitroclen. 18 15 Cleaning and maintenance of Check whether your cooking utensils has level bases by placing the item in question upside down on a work top and positioning a ruler on the base. A curved base, both inwards and outwards, will prolong the cooking time and increase the energy consumption. If the diameter of the base is too small, the energy consumption will increase, and any food boiling over will burn onto the hot cooking zone. Cooking utensils with very shiny/bright bases will prolong the cooking time slightly compared with cooking utensils with matt/dark bases. For reasons of hygiene and safety, the cooking zones must be kept clean. Grease stains and spilled food generate smoke when heated, and can even cause fire. Splashguard The splashguard can be removed to make it easier to clean the surface. What to do: 1. Hold the splashguard as shown in the diagram. 2. Lift the splashguard straight up 3. Clean the top surface as described in “cleaning the steel surface”. Be aware of the two retaining pegs, which are sharp. 4. Replace the splashguard in position ENSURE that it is fitted the correct way round. Never use hard or sharp implements to lift off the splashguard. Do not wash the splashguard in a dishwasher. The hob must not be used with the splashguard off. 16 17
