How to Use the Hob

The ceramic surface of the hob allows fast transmission of heat vertically from the heating elements under the glass to the pans on the hob top.

The heat does not spread horizontally, so the hob top remains relatively cool only a few centimetres from the zone in use.

To switch heating zones on

When the mains power supply is switched on, the buzzer beeps once and all the indicators light up for 1 second, then go out. This indicates that the ceramic hob has entered standby mode.

Touch the “On/Off” control ; all the indicators show “-“.

(If you don’t switch a heating zone or the minute minder on within approx. 1 minute, the ceramic hob will automatically switch off.)

Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that you wish to use (see

“Efficient Use of Your Hob” section for selection of suitable pans).

Ensure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone are clean and dry.

Touch the “Heating zone control” for the zone required, to activate it.

Note: The digital display showing power level is also the “Heating zone control”.

While the “Heating zone control” is still flashing, use the single “Slider

control” to control the power level, by touching anywhere along its length.

You can change the heat setting at any time during cooking.

To use more than one heating zone, just repeat a similar procedure for each zone you wish to use (as above).

To switch heating zones off

Activate the “Heating zone control” for the zone you want to turn off by touching the relevant “Heating zone control” key. Use the “Slider control” to scroll down to “0“.

To switch all heating zones off at once it is only necessary to touch the

“On/Off” control .

Using the dual zone function

This function is only applicable to the back right and centre cooking zones.

You can use either just the central area, or the enlarged areas of either of these zones.

Touch the “Heating zone control“ corresponding to either the back right or centre zone to activate it.

Select a heat setting by using the “Slider control” as above. You may select any power level from “1” to “9”. The centre area will heat up

9

10 and the zone indicator will show the heat level selected.

While the “Heating zone control” is still flashing, touch the “Dual zone” key once and this will switch to both areas heating up. While in this setting the zone indicator will flash between the power setting and .

Touch the “Dual zone” key again, while the “Heating zone control” is still flashing, and this will switch back to just the central area heating up.

Hot hob warning indicators

When a heating zone is hot, the indicator corresponding to that zone will show “H”

The hot hob warning indicators remain lit (even when the hob is switched off to standby mode) until the cooking zones cool sufficiently to touch.

Do not touch the glass plate until the indicator goes out.

Locking the controls

You can lock the controls to prevent unintended use (for example children accidentally turning the cooking zones on).

When the controls are locked, all the controls except the “On/Off” control are disabled.

To lock the controls:

Touch the key lock control . If all heating zones are switched off the timer indicator will show “Lo“: If one or more heating zones is switched on the timer indicator will flash between “Lo” and “--“.

To unlock the controls:

Touch and hold the key lock control for approx. 2 seconds.

The hob will beep and the controls are now unlocked; the ceramic hob is ready for use.

Warning: If the hob is switched off using the “ON/OFF” control while the controls are locked, it will be necessary to unlock the hob using the process above BEFORE the hob is next used.

Over-temperature protection

The ceramic hob is fitted with a sensor to monitor the temperature inside the hob. When an excessive temperature is recorded, the ceramic hob will stop operation automatically.

Auto safety switch off

If a heating zone is left switched on and untouched for a period of time it will automatically switch itself off. The default switch off times are shown in this table:

Efficient Use of Your Hob

The hob is equipped with zones of different sizes, designed to accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results, only use pans with flat bottoms and choose appropriate zones depending on the sizes of the pans. The most efficient use of the hob is shown below, where the pans and zones are correctly chosen.

Use pan lids where possible to minimize the energy usage of your appliance.

Turn off each zone a few minutes before the end of cooking time.

The residual heat in the zones will continue to cook the food for the remaining cooking time.

It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a suitable material and have the correct type of base. The base should be flat and smooth, as any rough part on the pan base could scratch the ceramic hob top.

15

16

Choose pans which are between the sizes recommended in the table above, and with bases that are as non-reflective as possible, e.g. dull and dark.

Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used.

Pans with aluminium bases may leave silver streaks or spots on the hob. Glassware and pans with rough circular machined bases should not be used

Care and Maintenance

Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before undertaking any cleaning or maintenance.

You should use a non-abrasive cleaner to clean the hob top. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could erase the control panel markings.

Do not use steel wool, abrasive sponges or sharp utensils such as knives to clean the hob as these could damage the hob. The hob surface and the pans must be clean.

Carefully remove any food remains (especially those containing sugar), dirt etc. as soon as is possible after spillage - using a ceramic hob scraper if necessary whilst the zone is still hot.

Sugar/syrup mixtures could permanently pit the hob surface if left to burn on. Once they have cooled and hardened they become increasingly

difficult to remove.

All cleaner residues should be removed with a damp cloth.

Fitting the Hob

Unpacking the hob:

Take care not to lose or mishandle any parts.

Fitting position of the hob:

This appliance must be installed a minimum of 50mm from any back wall and a minimum of 180mm away from any adjacent vertical surfaces, e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This may be reduced to 100mm if the adjacent surface is resistant to fire (tiles or steel, for example). These dimensions are shown in Fig. 4.

If fitting a cooker hood above the hob:

If a cooker hood is to be installed above the hob, the height of the hood above the hob must be at least 600mm (650mm is recommended)

(Fig.5). If the instructions supplied with the hood dictate that the hood must be installed at a height greater than 600mm, then that height is the minimum required.

19

20

Wall furniture requirements:

The minimum height of any cabinet immediately above the hob is

900mm. The minimum height of any adjacent units (including light pelmets) is 400mm, unless they are manufactured from a material resistant to fire (steel, for example)

Notes:

• Do not position this appliance above a refrigeration unit. The heat generated may cause the refrigeration unit to fail.

• This appliance is designed to be installed into cabinet units capable of withstanding temperatures of 65°C or greater above ambient temperature.

• If there is no oven to be built in below the hob, an isolation shelf should be fitted to protect the user from high temperatures. If the hob is to be installed above a working drawer, then a partition should be fitted to protect the contents and user from the heat generated during use. This should be fitted 100mm below the hob.

• Never place perishable foods in the cupboard below the appliance.

How to Install the Hob

How to install the hob:

Overall dimensions of the hob: width 900mm

Worktop cut-out dimensions: width 870mm depth 520mm depth 490mm

1. Make the required hole in the worktop. Before doing this, you must check the instructions supplied with any cooker hood to ensure that you will have the required clearance. The cut-out (Fig. 4) shows a 60mm gap from the wall to the cut-out edge.

This makes the distance from the hob, when fited, to the back wall

50mm. If a splashback/worktop upstand is to be fitted, take this into account when cutting the hole.

The minimum distance that the hob should be positioned away from the rear wall or splashback is 50mm.
