[. . . ] Double circuit cooking zone If the second circle of the two-circuit cooking zones (No. 2 and 3) is needed, the control knob concerned has to be turned over position "10" to the final stop from where it automatically springs back to position "10". The temperature can now be controlled by turning back the knob in the opposite direction to the wanted position. Setting it back to "0" turns off the cooking zone. Halogene cooking zone The halogene cooking zone is heated up very rapidly compared to the normal one-circuit cooking zone. It can be compared with a gas cooking zone, without having its inconveniences. When switched on the halogene lamps immediately effect their full heating power. Use the halogene cooking zone to heat up food quickly. Warming zone The warming zone will be turned on and off by the touch control unit located on the ceramic surface in front of the warming zone. By touching the corresponding field, "1" resp. "0", it will be switched on resp. turned off. 6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Residual heat indicator Each cooking zone is related to one indicator. The warning lamp lights up when the surface of the corresponding cooking zone reaches a temperature which could cause burning. This lamp remains lit after the heated-up area has been switched off as long as the residual heat of the corresponding cooking surface can cause burnings. The light will only extinguish when there is no more danger (temperature below 50°C). The remaining heat should be used to get food readycooked or keep food warm. COOKING EQUIPMENT Specially tested cooking and frying pans for ceramic hobs exist. Cooking pans with aluminium or copper bottoms are unsuitable for use. These materials can cause stains that can not be removed anymore. The following advice should be considered to achieve an optimal energy consumption as well as to avoid that overboiling food can be burnt onto the cooking zones. Bottom of pans: Cooking and frying pans should have a flat and solid base. A base with rough edges can scratch and leave abrasion marks on the ceramic surface!Size of pans: Pan or pot diameters should be a little bit larger than the diameter of the cooking zone. Lid of pans: A lid prevents heat to escape. 7 MAINTENANCE The maintenance remains the same for glass and ceramic hobs. [. . . ] Improper repairs can cause serious harm and danger for users. The protection against accidental contact must be ensured by proper installation. The distance between the underside of the hob and the furniture beneath must be at least 60 mm (fig. 4). Attention: If there are any repairs to be effected, the appliance must be non-tensioned. [. . . ]
