Safety Advice In Case Of A Chip-Pan Fire

In the event of a chip pan fire or any other pan fire.

1. TURN OFF THE APPLIANCE AT THE WALL SWITCH.

2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH, this will smother the flames and

extinguish the fire.

LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE

MOVING IT. Injuries are often

caused by picking up a hot pan and rushing outside with it.

NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE

as the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over.

Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.

Induction Cooking

Unlike conventional heating zones, an induction heating zone does not heat the glass

surface. The cooking vessel itself is the heating element. Heat is produced directly in the

pan, provided it is made of ferromagnetic material, ie. iron or steel.

Your induction hob offers a number of advantages:

Performance

The heating zones on the hob are powered separately, meaning that you can use them

all at the same time, at their maximum rated output, if required.

The fast temperature rise and low thermal inertia of induction heating zones allows for

great flexibility in adjusting the heat. Induction heating zones are suitable for cooking

all kinds of dishes, from the highest settings to the lowest of simmers for delicate foods

such as sauces and chocolate.

Ease of use

The spacing of the heating zones, their different power levels and the timers make the

hob very easy to use. A power indicator displays the setting of each heating zone.

Safety

After cooking, the surface of the hob can be dangerously hot, as the cooking vessel

and its contents heat the glass. For your safety, each heating zone has a residual heat

indicator that remains lit until its temperature has fallen below 60˚C, even after the

hob is turned off. This is indicated by ‘H’ adjacent to the heating zone selection key.

Choice of Utensils

●Use good quality flat-based

cookware on all electric heat

sources.

●Ensure pans have clean, dry

bases before use. Use pans with

cast iron, enamelled steel or

special stainless steel bases,

suitable for induction hobs.

●Ensure pans match size of

heating area, this will ensure

considerable savings on energy

and shorter cooking times.

●Remember good quality pans

retain heat well, so generally

only a low or medium heat is

necessary.

●Ensure pan handles are

positioned safely and away from

heat sources.

●Lift pans, do not drag.

●Use pan lids except when frying.

●Deal with spillages immediately

but with care.

Always ✓

●Use gauze, metal pan diffusers,

asbestos mats and stands e.g.

Wok stands – they can cause

overheating.

●Use utensils with skirts or rims

e.g. buckets and some kettles.

●Use badly dented or distorted

pans, or pans with irregular,

rough bases which could

scratch the surface.

●Leave an element switched on

when not cooking.

●Cook food directly on the

hotplate.

●Drag or slide utensils across

the hob surface.

●Place large preserving pans or

fish kettles across two

hotplates.

●Place plastic vessels or utensils

on a hot hob.

●Use the hob as an area for

storage

Every Electric Hob deserves the right choice of utensils. We recommend for optimum

performance the use of good quality utensils.

Detection of Cooking Vessels

Because induction takes place only when a metal cooking vessel closes the magnetic

field, the generation of heat stops immediately when the cooking vessel is taken off

the heating zone. You must use cooking vessels that are compatible with

induction (ie. made from ferromagnetic materials).

Cast iron, enamelled steel and special stainless steel for induction are compatible.

Copper, ceramic, earthenware, glass, aluminium and non-magnetic stainless steel are

NOT compatible with induction.

You can test your pots and pans with a magnet. If the magnet sticks to the bottom of

the pan, it is made of ferromagnetic material and can be used on an induction hob.

We recommend pots with very flat, heavy bottoms. DO NOT use cooking vessels with

rough bottoms which can scratch the glass.

For maximum efficiency, the diameter of the cooking vessel should be as close as

possible to that of the heating zone (outlined on the glass). Using well-adapted

cooking vessels saves energy and shortens cooking times.

Each induction heating zone is equipped with a cooking vessel detector.

Heat is generated ONLY when a cooking vessel of a suitable material and size is placed

on the heating zone.

When the power indicator flashes, this can mean:

- the cooking vessel is made of incompatible, non-ferromagnetic material.

- the cooking vessel is too small.

- the cooking vessel has been removed.

Choose cooking vessels that match the diameter of the heating zones. Small pots

should be used with the small heating zones etc.

THE BEST COMBINATIONS

This table is a general guide to the types of pan suitable for different types of hobs and

cookers. Remember pans should be good quality, with smooth, flat bases. For any

further information refer to manufacturers’instructions.

1. Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean cloth or a paper towel to

avoid unnecessary damage to the hob. Extreme care should be taken to avoid

steam burns and hot surfaces when cleaning spillage from the hob.

2. When cooking food that contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a utensil which is

large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar spillage will permanently

damage the hob and therefore should be cleaned off with care immediately. If

sugar spillage has occurred, remove it as long as it is still hot with a metal safety

razor scraper.This will avoid any damage.

NEVER LET IT COOL BEFORE REMOVING.

3. Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before placing on the hob.

Hob Spillage Notes

Extreme caution should be used when cleaning the hot hob !

Hob Units - Features

4 Induction heating zones

- Rear Left 1200W heating zone

(600W if the front left

heating zone is boosted

to 3000W).

- Rear Right 1800W heating zone, with

optional booster to 3000W.

- Front Left 1800W heating zone, with

optional booster to 3000W.

- Front Right 1200W heating zone (600W

if the rear right heating

zone is boosted to 3000W).

Total power capacity: 7.2kW 230V

4 residual heat indicators

Even after the hob is turned off, the heat indicator ‘H’ stays on. This indicates that

the corresponding heating zone is still hot (temperature exceeding 60˚C).

However care should continue to be taken as the hob may still be hot to touch,

even when the residual heat indicator is extinguished.

4 timers

Which can be used to programme each of the four heating zones independently

for a maximum duration of 99 minutes.

An electronic control panel with touch sensitive keys

It is very clear which key controls which heating zone, as they mirror the heating

zone layout.
