Each knob corresponds to a specific heating zone. The symbols around the knobs indicate the power levels or functions.
4.2 Turning On and Adjusting Heat
- Place a suitable cooking pot or pan on the desired ceramic heating zone.
- Turn the corresponding rotary knob clockwise to the desired heat setting. The settings typically range from minimum (low heat) to maximum (high heat).
- The heating element will begin to heat up. An indicator light may illuminate to show that the zone is active.
4.3 Slå av
To turn off a heating zone, rotate its knob counter-clockwise until it clicks into the 'off' position. The indicator light will extinguish.
4.4 Restvarmeindikator
After turning off a heating zone, the ceramic surface will remain hot for some time. Many ceramic cooktops include a residual heat indicator (often an 'H' symbol) that stays lit until the surface temperature drops to a safe level. Exercise caution when cleaning or touching the cooktop after use.
5. Rengjøring og vedlikehold
Regelmessig rengjøring og vedlikehold vil sikre at koketoppen din holder lenge og har optimal ytelse.
- Daglig rengjøring: After each use, once the cooktop has cooled down, wipe the ceramic surface with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth to prevent water spots.
- Vanskelige flekker: For burnt-on food or stubborn stains, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and a non-abrasive scraper designed for ceramic surfaces. Follow the product instructions carefully.
- Unngå: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, harsh chemicals, or steam cleaners, as these can damage the ceramic surface.
- Kontrollknapper: The control knobs can be removed for cleaning. Wipe them with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly before reattaching.
- Undersøkelse: Periodically inspect the cooktop for any signs of damage, especially to the ceramic surface or electrical connections. If damage is found, contact a qualified technician.
