Bosch PCP 615B90B [12/17] Electric hobs

Electric hobs

Before using the hob for the first time, heat it up for 5

minutes, set to full power, with no pans placed on it. At

this point it is normal to notice smoke and odours, but

these will disappear over time. Do not operate the hobs

without placing pans on top, except during this initial

heating phase.

It is recommended to start cooking on full power and,

depending on the quantity and quality of food, later switch

to an intermediate setting for the remaining cooking time.

Taking advantage of the hob's thermal inertia, you can

switch the hob off shortly before you finish cooking. This

will save energy, as you can continue cooking using the

residual heat.

Use pans with bottoms which are thick and perfectly flat.

Make sure that the size of the pan used is similar to that

of the heating element, never smaller.

Do not allow liquids to be spilt on the surface of the hob

and do not use wet pans on the hob.

If prolongued use has worn away the surface of the

electrical hot plates, sprinkle them with a few drops of oil

or other manteinance products that are widely available.

power level for the food you are cooking. Fig. 4.

Bearing in mind the type of cooking and the quantity of

food, using the table below as a guide, turn the control

knob to the left, selecting the setting for the dish you want

to cook. The operating indicator light will come on. To

switch off the hob, turn the control knob to the 0 setting.

The indicator light will go out.
