Operation
Your Teka vitroceramic hob is designed for intuitive cooking with precise control.
Turning On/Off a Cooking Zone
- Each cooking zone is controlled by a dedicated ergonomic knob located on the right side of the hob.
- To turn on a zone, rotate the corresponding knob clockwise to the desired heat setting. The hob will begin to heat up.
- To turn off a zone, rotate the knob counter-clockwise back to the '0' position.
Heat Settings
The control knobs typically offer a range of heat settings from 1 (low) to 12 (high), allowing for fine-tuned temperature control for various cooking tasks.
Booster Function
The hob is equipped with a Booster function for rapid heating. When activated, this function provides maximum power to a selected zone for a short period, quickly bringing liquids to a boil or heating pans. Refer to the specific markings on the control panel or knobs for Booster activation.
Residual Heat Indicators
After a cooking zone is turned off, a residual heat indicator (often an 'H' symbol) will remain illuminated on the hob surface until the zone has cooled to a safe temperature. Do not touch the surface while the indicator is active.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hob.
Daily Cleaning
- Always ensure the hob is cool before cleaning.
- Wipe the vitroceramic surface with a soft cloth or sponge and a mild detergent.
- For stubborn stains, use a specialized ceramic hob cleaner and a scraper designed for glass hobs.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water marks.
Avoiding Damage
- Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners.
- Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects on the glass surface.
- Do not slide rough-bottomed cookware across the surface, as this can cause scratches.
- Clean up spills, especially sugary liquids, immediately after the hob cools to prevent them from hardening and causing damage.
