Rangemaster 90 CERAMIC U109650-02 User Manual

Although the ceramic surface is very strong, a 

heavy or sharp falling object (a salt cellar for example) 
might cause the surface to crack. If you find a crack in 
the surface immediately disconnect the appliance from 
the supply and arrange for its repair.

Care should be taken that no water seeps into the 

appliance.

The areas marked with two concentric circles have 

an inner and an outer element.

Turn the control knob clockwise to heat the whole area 

for larger pans - turn it the other way to just heat the 

inner part for smaller pans.

  Never cook directly on the surface.

The kind of pan you use and the quantity of food 
affects the setting required. Higher settings are 
required for larger quantities of food. 

Naturally, the surface must be washed after use 
in order to prevent it from becoming scratched or 
dirty.

When cooking on the hob you may see the hob 
area you are using switch off and on. This is caused 
by a safety device that limits the temperature of 
the hob. It is quite normal, especially when cooking 
at high temperatures. If it happens a lot with a 
particular pan however it may mean the pan is not 
suitable – perhaps too small or too uneven - for a 
ceramic hob.

Sugar spillage will permanently damage the 
hob and therefore must be cleaned off with care 
immediately. Never let sugar spillage cool before 
trying to remove it.

If sugar or foods with high sugar content, 
aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally 
allowed to melt on the hob surface remove them 
immediately from the hot cooking area using 
a scraper to avoid any possible damage to the 
surface. See the  ‘Cleaning your cooker’ section of 
these instructions.

Never cut directly on the cooking surface.

Don’t cook directly on the hob surface i.e. without 
a pan or utensil

Don’t use the hob as a work surface

Don’t drag or slide utensils across the hob surface

Don’t place anything between the base of the pan 
and the hob surface (i.e. asbestos mats, aluminium 
foil, Wok stand)

Don’t leave utensils, foodstuffs or combustible 
items on the hob when it is not in use. (e.g. tea 
towels, frying pans containing oil)

Don’t place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic 
containers on the hob

Don’t leave the hob zones switched on unless 
being used for cooking

Don’t place large preserving pans or fish kettles
