Warning and Safety instructions
Warning and Safety instructions
Do not use the hob as a resting place for anything else. This could lead to a danger of the article beginning to melt or catching fire, if the hob were to be switched on inadvertently.
Take care to keep the touchpads and the area around them clean and do not put things down on them.
Hot pans can damage the electronics which are under the sensors.
When cleaning the hob surface do not push the dirt across the touchpads.
The sensors could mistake the article or dirt for a finger tip contact, thereby activating a function.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic hob.
Dropping a salt cellar, for example, could be the cause of damage in certain circumstances.
Do not use plastic or aluminium foil containers.
These melt at higher temperatures and could damage the ceramic surface.
Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to get onto the ceramic hob when it is hot. If this is allowed to cool before the hob has been cleaned, the ceramic surface will be susceptible to pitting or even cracking.
Switch the cooking zones off and while the hob is still warm, scrape all the sugar, plastic or aluminum remains from the hob with a shielded scraper blade taking care not to burn yourself.
Do not use any pots or pans on the ceramic hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges.
These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.
If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the hob without any wooden base in between, ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other easily flammable materials are kept in it. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer, these must be made of suitable heat-resistant material.
When using kitchen appliances connected to sockets near the ceramic hob ensure that the cable cannot touch a heated hob zone or pan. The insulation on the cable could become damaged, giving rise to an electric shock hazard.
Always ensure that food is sufficiently cooked or reheated.
Many factors will affect the overall cooking time, including the size and amount of food, its temperature, changes to the recipe and the shape and size of cooking container.
Some foods may contain micro organisims which are only destroyed by thorough cooking, therefore when cooking or reheating foods, e.g. poultry, it is particularly important that food is fully cooked through (at more than 70 °C, for more than 10 minutes). If in doubt select a longer cooking or reheating time.

Use
Use
Saucepans
The following notes are designed to enable you to
– make the best use of energy when using your ceramic hob.
– prevent food boiling over and burning onto the hob.
Suitable pans
Pan size
The diameter of the pan should be a little larger than that of the cooking zone.
Pan lids
So that optimum energy consumption is achieved during cooking, only pans with flat or very slightly concave bases should be used. When the pan is hot, the base should rest evenly on the ceramic surface. Check for suitability when purchasing new pans.
A lid on the pan will prevent heat from being lost.
15
Use
Use
Please observe the following good practice guide:
Always place a pan centrally on the cooking zone before switching on the appliance to save energy.
The cooking zone and the pan base should be clean and dry. This saves unnecessary cleaning after cooking.
When using aluminium utensils the metal can affect the ceramic surface by leaving mother-of-pearl coloured marks behind.
These marks can be removed most easily if they are treated immediately they appear with a special proprietary cleaning agent (see chapter on "Cleaning and Care").
Always check before beginning to cook that there are no sand-like grains on the ceramic surface.
Do not allow either solid or liquid sugar or pieces of plastic or aluminium foil to lie on the heated cooking zones.
If such grains should find their way underneath the saucepan when it is pushed across the hob the grains could cause scratches on the surface.
Do not use any pots or pans which have bases with pronounced edges or ridges or are enamelled unevenly.
These could scratch or scour the hob surface.
If spills are left on the ceramic surface until it has cooled down, these will cause variable pitting, and could even cause cracking.
When spills occur, therefore, switch the cooking zone off and immediately scrape off all the residues with a shielded razor blade scraper. Take care not to burn yourself.
Do not push any enamelled objects such as baking trays or roasting pans around on the hob.
This could cause scratches.
16
Cleaning and care
Cleaning and care
In general you can use the same cleaning agents for the ceramic hob surface as you would for ordinary glass surfaces.
Never use scouring agents or pads, or strong cleaners such as oven sprays or stain or rust removers, as these could harm the surface.
There is a seal between the hob frame and worktop and between the frame and the ceramic plate. Do not use any sharp pointed object, such as a knife, to clean these seals as they could become damaged.
Clean after each use
Take care to keep the touch pads and the area around them clean and do not put things down on them. Hot pans can damage the electronics under the sensors.
When cleaning the hob surface do not push the dirt across the touch pads.
The sensors could mistake the article or dirt for a finger tip contact, thereby activating a function.
Any minor spills which have not dried on can be wiped off with a damp cloth or sponge. Non-abrasive liquid cleaners can also be used.
If the hob is cleaned with washing up liquid for example, light blue staining might occur. These stains can be removed with one of the proprietary agents mentioned, although they can be stubborn, and it may take several applications.
Hardened spills should be carefully scraped off using a shielded razor blade scraper.
The hob surface should then be rubbed clean with a damp cloth or sponge.
To remove marks
Light marks with a metallic sheen
(aluminium deposits) on the hob surface can be removed once the hob has cooled down by using a suitable proprietary cleaner.
Lime deposits (caused for example by water boiling over) can be removed with vinegar or a proprietary hob cleaner.
17
Cleaning and care
Cleaning and care
Removal of sugar, syrups, plastic or aluminium foil.
Switch the hob off and scrape off all the residues straight away with a shielded razor blade scraper while it is still hot. Protect your hands from the heat.
Once the cooking zone has cooled down clean with a suitable cleaner.
Cleaning agents for regular cleaning
There are several proprietary cleaners suitable for vitreous ceramic surfaces.
Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning and care instructions.
Do not use the cleaner while the cooking zone is hot.
Ensure that any residues of cleaning agent are removed from the hob surface with a damp cloth.
Otherwise these could have an etching effect when the zone is heated up.
Some cleaners incorporate a silicone agent which acts as a protective film on the ceramic hob. However, cooking at high temperatures reduces the effect and the cleaner needs to be reapplied for renewed effect.

Problem solving guide
Problem solving guide
Repairs to the electrical components of this appliance should only ever be carried out by a competent person. Unauthorised repairs can be dangerous.
Some minor problems however can be dealt with as follows:
What to do if . . .
. . . there is a slight smell when the hob is heated for the very first time.
This is not a fault.
Residual moisture in the insulation is drying out.
. . . it is not possible to switch on the cooking zones.
Check if the zone lock is on.
If all the indicator lights are switched off check whether the house mains fuse has blown.
Call an electrician or the Service Department.
. . . a cooking zone switches off during use and "H" repeatedly flashes in the display.
This is not a fault.
If a cooking zone has been switched on for an exceptional length of time the safety switch or feature is activated.
This can be after a period of 1 to 10 hours depending on the setting originally selected. The higher the setting the shorter the time to auto switch off.
To switch on the cooking zone again.
Select setting "0" and then once again the setting required.
If "H" flashes in one or more displays this is not a fault but a signal that these zones are still hot.
. . . when using auto heat up the content of the pan does not cook satisfactorily check whether a pan with a heat retaining base is being used.
The warmth from this base only transfers slowly into the food.
Whether a rather large pan is being used.
In both cases select a higher setting for continued cooking, or bring to the boil with setting "9" and then switch to a lower setting.
