Hob Guidelines - Baumatic PCE9220SS Instruction Manual

o To activate the first area of a dual zone, you should rotate the
control knob between 1 – 9 and select the heat setting of
your choice.
o To activate the second area of a dual zone as well, you should
rotate the knob past setting 9, until you feel it click. You
should then turn it back to the heat setting of your choice.
o To return to only one area operating, return the control knob
to the off position and then turn it back to your desired heat
setting.
o IMPORTANT: When using a dual zone, it is important
that the control knob is only turned clockwise.
o When you have finished cooking on a particular zone, it is
important to make sure that the control knob is turned back
to 0 (the off position).
o A warning light on the control panel will inform you if a
cooking area is turned on or off.

Hob guidelines

o The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
o The worktop is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter
and power.
o The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked
on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on
these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the
same diameter as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
o You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
o Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are
clean and dry.
o When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as
they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This
will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
o The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of
enameled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich
type bottoms.
