[. . . ] INSTRUCTION BOOK GB 6310 DK-m 1 HRV/ZA 949600147 Congratulations from AEG Dear Customer, Congratulations with your new Hob. It is important that you become familiar with the functions and features of the Hob. You should therefore read these operating instructions as they will help you get the most out of your new Hob. Pay extra attention to sections marked . [. . . ] If the diameter of the base is too small, the energy consumption will increase, and any food boiling 8 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. 9 Cleaning and maintenance of 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. Hold the splashguard as shown in the diagram. Clean the top surface as described in "cleaning the steel surface". Be aware of the two retaining pegs, which are sharp. 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. 10 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. 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. Wipe off remaining cleaning agent with a damp cloth. 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. The ceramic glass hob 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. After use the cooking zones should be wiped with a damp cloth with washing up liquid. [. . . ] Pan size Do not use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of the hob trim. 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. 18 It is better to use two pans rather than overfill one, or use half quantities. What to use Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before using. Types of sugar Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally good flavour. [. . . ]
