WARNING: THE APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.

• Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, the voltage rating of the appliance (stamped on the appliance identification plate) must be checked for correspondence to the available mains supply voltage, and the mains electric wiring should be capable of handling the appliance’s power rating (also indicated on the identification plate).

• During installation, please ensure that isolated cables are used. An incorrect connection could damage your appliance. If the mains cable is damaged and needs to be replaced this should be done by a qualified person.

• Do not use adaptors, multiple sockets and/or extension leads.

• The supply cord should be kept away from hot parts of the appliance and must not be bent or compressed. Otherwise the cord may be damaged, causing a short circuit.

• If the appliance is not connected to the mains with a plug, a all-pole disconnector switch (with at least 3 mm contact spacing) must be used in order to meet the safety regulations.

• The appliance is designed for a power supply of 220-240V ~ and 380-415V 3N~. If your supply is different, contact the authorised service person or a qualified electrician.

• The power cable (H05VV-F) must be long enough to be connected to the appliance, even if the appliance stands on the front of its cabinet.

• Ensure all connections are adequately tightened.

• Fix the supply cable in the cable clamp and then close the cover.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Important: Specifications for the product vary and the appearance of your appliance may differ from that shown in the figures below.

List of Components

1. Ceramic Heater

USE OF PRODUCT

Hob controls

Ceramic Heater

The ceramic heater is controlled by a 6 position knob.

The ceramic heater is operated by turning the control knob to the required setting. Near each control knob is a symbol which indicates the heater that is controlled by that knob. The on/off light on the control panel will show if any of the ceramic heaters are in use.

Important: The knob rotation direction may differ according to the product specification.

Dual and Oval Heaters (if available)
Dual and oval heaters have two heating zones. To activate the outer zone of a dual/ oval heater, turn the knob to position. Both outer zones will switch on.

To deactivate the outer zone of a dual/oval heater, turn the knob to the ‘Off’ position. Both outer zones will switch off.

• Residual Heat Indicator (if available)
  After using the hob there will be heat stored in the vitroceramic glass called residual heat. If the residual heat level is greater than +60°C, the residual heat indicator will be active for the cooking zone which is above this temperature.
  If the power supply to the hob is disconnected while the residual heat indicator is on, the warning light will flash when the power is reconnected. The display will flash until the residual heat has decreased or until one of the cooking zones is activated.

Hints and Tips
Important: When ceramic heaters are operated in higher heat settings, the heated areas may be seen switching on and off. This is due to a safety device which prevents the glass from overheating. This is normal at high temperatures, causing no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.

WARNING:

• Never operate the hob without pans on the cooking zone.

• Use only flat saucepans with a sufficiently thick base.

• Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before placing it on the hob.

• While the cooking zone is in operation, it is important to ensure that the pan is centred correctly above the zone.

• In order to conserve energy, never use a pan with a different diameter to the hotplate being used.
  

• Do not use pans with rough bottoms since these can scratch the glass ceramic surface.

• If possible, always place lids on the pans.

• The temperature of accessible parts may become high while the appliance is operating. Keep children and animals well away from the hob during operation and until it has fully cooled after operation.

• If you notice a crack on the cooktop, it must be switched off immediately and replaced by authorised service personnel.

Accessories

The Water Collector
In some cases of cooking, condensation may appear on the inner glass of the oven door. This is not a product malfunction. Open the oven door into the grilling position and leave it in this position for 20 seconds.
Water will drip to the collector. Cool the oven and wipe the inside of the door with a dry towel. This procedure must be applied regularly.

• If substances with a low melting point are used in the cookware’s base or coatings, they can damage the glassceramic cooktop.If plastic, tin foil, sugar or sugary foods have fallen on the hot glass-ceramic cooktop, please scrape it off the hot surface as quickly and as safely as possible. If these substances melt, they can damage the glassceramic cooktop. When you cook very sugary items like jam, apply a layer of a suitable protective agent beforehand if it is possible.

• Dust on the surface must be cleaned with a wet cloth.

• Any changes in colour to the ceramic glass will not affect the structure or durability of the ceramic and is not due to a change in the material.
