Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and health. It also enables the constituent materials to be recovered, saving both energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

Please note:

• Ceramic hobs become hot and remain hot during and immediately after use. Do not touch the hob until it has been allowed to cool.
• Keep children away from the appliance when in use.
• Never use the hob top for storage.
• Pan handles should never stand out beyond the edge of the worktop. This will help to avoid children reaching them.
• Do not lean over the hob when it is in use.
• Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
• Ensure the base of the saucepan is clean and dry before placing it on the hob.
• Avoid hard shocks from cookware – the vitroceramic glass surface is highly resistant but not unbreakable.
• Do not place hot lids flat on the hob top. A “suction” effect could cause damage to the hob.
• Do not drag cookware across the hob top: in the long term, this could cause damage to the hob.
• Do not store cleaning or flammable products in the unit below the hob.
• Always use appropriate cookware.
• Do not cook unopened tins of food directly on the hob.
• Never put cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface when the hob is hot. These materials could melt and cause damage to the hob.
• This hob (Class 3) has been designed for use only as a cooking appliance. Any other use should be considered incorrect and therefore dangerous.

Important

• Do not use the hob if the glass surface is cracked or damaged to prevent the risk of electric shock. Disconnect it from the power supply.
• Ensure that the power cable of a connected electrical appliance near the hob is not in contact with the cooking zones.

Using your hob

C. Front right 1.2kW 145mm
D. Back right 1.8kW 180 mm
E. Power indicator
F. Residual heat indicators Control knob positions and ideal cooking processes
0. “Off” position

1. Low heat – stewing vegetables.
2. Low-med heat – cooking potatoes.
3. Medium heat – cooking large dishes.
4. Med-high heat – slow frying.
5. High heat – braising meat and fish.
6. Highest heat – bringing to the boil, fast frying and heating.

To switch the hob on

• Set the control knob for the desired zone to the required temperature setting. A guide to heat levels and ideal cooking processes is on page 6. The power indicator (E) will illuminate to indicate the zone’s usage.

To deactivate a zone and/or switch the hob off

• Simply set the control knob(s) to the “0” position. Once all control knobs are at this position the hob will be off.
• If switching off multiple zones, the above step needs to be taken for each zone.

Please note: Any zones that are still hot to the touch (approximately 50°C or above) will be shown by their respective residual heat indicator (F).

Residual Heat Indicators

The hob is equipped with residual heat indicators to warn when any of the zones are still hot to the touch after use. A residual heat indicator will illuminate to show if the relevant zone is approximately 50°c or above. You should avoid touching any zone whilst the hob is in use or whilst either residual heat indicator is displayed.
Please note: In the event of a power cut or failure, the residual heat indicators will illuminate after the power supply is restored. When there is no power supply to the hob however the residual heat indicators will not work, yet the hob zone(s) may still be hot, so extra care must be taken.
The residual heat indicators’ layout matches that of the hob zones, as below:

Efficient Use of Your Hob

The hob is equipped with zones designed to accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results, only use pans with flat bottoms. The most efficient use of the hob is shown below, where the pan and zone are correctly chosen. Use pan lids where possible to minimize the energy usage of your appliance.

Locating a pan in the centre of the zone markings will ensure optimum efficiency.
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 of the pan and the hob top must be clean before use to prevent any scratches on the hob top.
Please note: Extra care should be taken if cast iron pans are used as these have coarse bases which may damage the hob top.

Care and Maintenance

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

• Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
• 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.
• Sugar and starch can cause permanent damage to the surface of the hob. Wipe away any spillages immediately but be careful given that the hob top will be hot during and after usage.
• Avoid letting pans boil over where possible to ensure that the need for cleaning is minimal.
• Always use a soft sponge or cloth where possible. Utensils such as scouring sponges and some brushes could cause scratches to the hob top.

Please note: A cleaning guide is available on page 11. When following the cleaning guide, please ensure any water or fluids do not encroach upon the control knobs as this may damage the hob.

sponge and hot water, and then wipe off with a soft dry cloth.
Accumulated bakedon stains/dirt, sugar spills or melted plastics| Cleaning sponge or glass scraper and soft cloth| Wipe over the zone to be cleaned with a sponge and hot water, using a ceramic scraper to remove any large marks or stains and then wipe off with a soft dry cloth.
Rings and hard water residues| White vinegar and soft cloth| Pour a small amount of warm white vinegar onto the stain, leave it to stand, and then wipe off with a soft dry cloth.
Shiny metallic streaks| Cleaning agent for vitroceramic glass| Use specialist vitroceramic glass cleaner (preferably one with silicone for its protective properties)

Fitting the Hob

Unpacking the hob:
Take care not to lose, drop or mishandle any parts.
Fitting position of the hob:
This appliance must be installed a minimum of 55mm away from any adjacent vertical surfaces, e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. These dimensions are shown in Fig.7 on page 15. If installing the hob in a cupboard unit, or above a drawer, then a partition panel must be used. Ventilation requirements:
This appliance must be installed to allow air to flow freely to the air intake and from the air outlet. An air gap of 25mm is recommended immediately below the hob.
Failure to allow sufficient ventilation could cause problems with operation or damage to the hob and constitutes incorrect installation, which is not covered by the product’s warranty (Figs. 3 and 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. 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).
Important 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, and around worktops, capable of withstanding temperatures of 100°C+
• Never place perishable foods, cleaning products or flammable items in the cupboard below the appliance.
• If the hob is to be located above a working drawer, we recommend that the drawer is not used for storing soft items, for example dusters or towels; this is to minimise the risk of the cooling system air intakes being obstructed.
• Do not use silicone or similar sealants to seal the hob into place. It should always be accessible for servicing etc.

How to Install the Hob

Overall dimensions of the hob:
Width: 575 mm Depth: 510 mm
Worktop cut-out dimensions:
Width: 560 mm Depth: 495 mm 1. If the seal has not been fitted at the factory, proceed as follows:
Before installing the hob in the cut-out worktop, the gasket is to be attached to the back of the hob.
To do this, first peel off the protective film from the self-adhesive seal and glue the gasket as close as possible to the outer edge of the hob (fig.4).
2. Make sure that the worktop is clean and dust free and insert the hob into the cut-out opening. Press the hob firmly into place so that the seal connects with the worktop (Fig. 6). If fitting the hob into a 28-48mm worktop:
The four fixing clips marked with a ‘B’ should be used, as per fig. 9.
If fitting the hob into a 48mm+ worktop:
The four fixing clips marked with a ‘A’ should be used, as per fig. 8.
Position the fixing brackets perpendicularly to the hob’s edge and tighten firmly. Do not use power tools to do this.
