User manual WHIRLPOOL AKR 012/IX INSTRUCTION FOR USE

[. . . ] N C INTRODUCTION BEFORE USING THE COOKTOP 1. Switch on the hotplates to remove fumes and smells coming from the protective greases. Turn the control knob to the position required. To switch off, turn the knob back to “0”. [. . . ] Slow boiling, e. g. : boiled vegetables, spaghetti, soups, continuing steam cooking of roasts, stews. For all types of fried foods, chops, steaks, cooking without lid, e. g. Browning meats, roast potatoes, fried fish and to boil large quantities of water. Quick frying, steaks in steak pan, etc. knob 1-12 1-2 2 3 3-4 4 4-5 6 1-2 2-3-4 4-5-6 6-7 7-8 8-9-10 11-12 CORRECT USE OF THE ELECTRIC HOTPLATES When using the electric hotplate: − absolutely avoid idle operation (without pans) − try not to spill liquids on the hotplates when they are hot − only use pans with flat bottoms (electric type) − to save electricity use lids when possible − always use pans which cover the hotplate surface completely. Operation of the electric hotplates is signalled by an indicator light. ATTENTION During and after use of the electric hotplates the cooktop becomes hot. Keep children away. 30 M 30 Y N C GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP The cooktop’s glass ceramic surface allows rapid vertical heat transmission from the heating elements under the cooktop to the pans on it. The heat does not propagate horizontally and thus the cooktop remains “cold” just a few centimetres away from the cooking zone. The two cooking zones are indicated by two circles drawn on the glass ceramic surface. Before switching on the cooktop make sure that it is clean. knob 1-6 TABLE FOR USE OF THE COOKING ZONES For melting (butter, chocolate). To keep food warm and to heat small quantities of liquids. To heat larger quantities, whip creams and sauces. Slow boiling, e. g. : boiled vegetables, spaghetti, soups, continuing steam cooking of roasts, stews. For all types of fried foods, chops, steaks, cooking without lid, e. g. Browning meats, roast potatoes, fried fish and to boil large quantities of water. Quick frying, steaks in steak pan, etc. knob 1-12 1-2 2 3 3-4 4 4-5 6 1-2 2-3-4 4-5-6 6-7 7-8 8-9-10 11-12 ATTENTION During and after use of the electric hotplates the cooktop becomes hot. Keep children away. AKR 028 “Quick light star” RADIANT ZONES The heating element is formed of 3 electrical resistances which can work together or separately depending on the position of the 7-position changeover switch. It reaches the working temperature quickly. The figure below shows the 3 ways in which the heating elements can work. 31 M 31 Y N C GLASS CERAMIC COOKTOP AKR 011 “Quick light star” RADIANT ZONES The heating element is formed of 3 electrical resistances which can work together or separately depending on the position of the 7-position changeover switch. It reaches the working temperature quickly. The figure below shows the 3 ways in which the heating elements can work. HALOGEN ZONE The heating element is formed of 2 halogen lamps and an electrical resistance. It reaches the working temperature immediately. Operation of the cooking zone is controlled by a continuous energy regulator from 1 (minimum position) to 12 (maximum temperature). [. . . ] − Turn the cooktop over and put tabs “A” into the mountings; only tighten screws “B” a few turns. Make sure that the tabs are mounted correctly as shown in the figures at the side. Turn the tabs so that the cooktop can be put into the hole. − Put the cooktop into the hole cut into the unit and position it correctly. [. . . ]
