Use
Refrigerator
Turn the thermostat control to an middel setting and
then re-adjust to a temperature of +5°C after a few
days if necessary. The right-hand numbers on the
control correspond to the lower temperature in the
refrigerator.
Glass ceramic hob
The glass ceramic hob has two heating zones and a
heat warning indicator. During use, the heating zones
will fluctuate on and off in order to maintain the set
temperature.
The heating zones will switch on and off for varying
lengths of time depending on the temperature
selected. A high heat will result in longer periods when
the power is switched on. However, even on the
maximum setting, the zones will be switched on and
off by an overheating safety device when the heat
becomes too high/low.
The heat warning indicator consists of two lights,
which light up when the corresponding zone is too hot
to touch.
The hob has two heating zones, which are adjusted by
turning the knob which has 13 settings - 12
temperature settings and a ‘0’ position. The indicator
light will come on when a ring is switched on.
Pretreating the glass ceramic hob
Rub a thin layer of the abrasive cleaning agent
provided into the glass ceramic hob. Use a clean,
damp cloth or a piece of kitchen roll.
If necessary, remove any excess cleaning
agent. Any leftover cleaning agent could
become etched onto the hob the next time it
becomes hot.
Remember to only use cooking equipment with a flat
base in order to avoid poor heat contact. To save
energy and time, the base of the saucepan/frying pan
should be smooth and the same size as the heating
zone.
Handy hints
■ Aluminium has a good thermal conductivity, but
can leave silvery marks on the hob.
■ Copper has a greater tendency to become
damaged when hot than other materials.
■ Enamel bases (particularly coarsely patterned
bases) and saucepans/pots made from glass can,
if they are pulled forwards and backwards on the
hob, wear out the markings more easily than other
types of base.
■ Flakes of paint can fall off lacquered saucepans
and burn onto the hob.
When buying new saucepans and frying pans,
you should choose types that are recommended
for glass ceramic hobs wherever possible, e.g.
stainless saucepans with a sandwich base, i.e. a
base with layers of different metals.
Using the timer function
All minikitchens with a glass ceramic hob also have
an inbuilt timer function. The heating zones cannot
become hot until a time has been set on the timer.
The timer can be set to a maximum of 60 min. If you
need the heating zones to be switched on for longer,
e.g. when cooking something that takes a long time,
you will have to reset the required time on the timer.
You can also set the required time on the timer if you
want the heating zones to switch off automatically.
After you have set the timer, set the required heat
setting using the heating zone knob. At the end of the
preset time, the zone will be switched off and the
indicator light will go out.
Remember to reset the heating zone knob to zero
when you have finished using the appliance.
