Hisense Ceramic Hob - Black

You can use any flat-bottomed cookware suitable for electric hobs, including stainless steel, cast iron (with a smooth base), ceramic, or glass pots and pans. Ensure the base is clean and dry before placing on the hob.

To activate, ensure the hob is off, then press and hold the 'Lock' (keypad) icon for a few seconds until the lock indicator illuminates. To deactivate, press and hold the 'Lock' icon again until the indicator turns off.

The 'H' indicates a Residual Heat Indicator. It means that the cooking zone is still hot and should not be touched directly, even if the hob is turned off. It will disappear once the zone has cooled to a safe temperature.

Yes, once a cooking zone is turned off, the residual heat will keep food warm for a short period. However, for extended warming, it's generally better to use a low heat setting to prevent food from drying out or overcooking.

Immediately switch off the hob if possible. Carefully wipe away the liquid with a clean, dry cloth once the surface has cooled slightly. Ensure the control area is completely dry before attempting to use the hob again.

The Double Ring Zone provides versatility. You can use the smaller inner ring for smaller pots and pans, or activate both the inner and outer rings together to accommodate larger cookware or to deliver a more intense and widespread heat for quicker cooking.

Check if the hob is properly connected to the power supply. Ensure the Child Lock function is not active; press and hold the lock icon to deactivate it. Make sure the control surface is clean and dry.

Verify that the pan is correctly centered on the cooking zone and that its base covers the heating element sufficiently. Ensure the pan is suitable for a ceramic hob and has a flat bottom. Check that the power level is set appropriately.

This often indicates a spill on the touch control area or an object obstructing the controls. Clean and dry the control panel thoroughly. If an error code is displayed, consult the user manual for specific meaning and resolution.

Wait for the hob to cool completely. Use a specialized ceramic hob scraper to gently lift the larger debris, then apply a dedicated ceramic hob cleaner and polish with a soft cloth. Never use abrasive materials.

Some faint noises like clicking or humming can be normal during operation, especially when different power levels are selected. If the noise is loud or unusual, ensure cookware is flat and stable. If concerns persist, contact customer support.
