Hob guidelines o The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid, burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated use. o The hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre and power.

22

o The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on. o You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch the ceramic surface. o Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean and dry. o When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This will allow the heat to transfer more easily. o The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms. o If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets. o Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat. o Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce cooking times. o Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob top if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface. Any spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not prevent the hob surface from becoming damaged. o IMPORTANT: The ceramic hob surface is tough; however it is not unbreakable and can be damaged. Especially if pointed or hard objects are allowed to fall on it with some force. o DO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE BECOMES BROKEN

OR CRACKED. YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE BAUMATIC

SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.

23

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the hob is cool.

The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning process.

Cleaning the ceramic hob top

YOURSELF.

Please note that if an engineer is asked to attend whilst the product is under guarantee and finds that the problem is not the result of an appliance fault, then you may be liable for the cost of the call out charge.

The appliance must be accessible for the engineer to perform any necessary repair. If your appliance is installed in such a way that an engineer is concerned that damage will be caused to the appliance or your kitchen, then he will not complete a repair.

This includes situations where appliances have been tiled in, sealed in with sealant, have wooden obstructions placed in front of the appliance, like plinths. Or any installation other than the one specified by Baumatic Ltd. has been completed.

Please refer to the conditions of guarantee that appear on the warranty card that you receive with the appliance.
