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.

Please note: When connecting the hob to the power and switching it on for the first time:

Auto-heat function
All zones are equipped with an auto-heat function, which reduces the warming up time for the zone. Each power level has a limited time for which the auto- heat function can be used. A table showing these times is shown at the bottom of this page.

To activate the auto-heat function on a zone

• Switch the desired zone on, if not already so, by touching the relevant cooking zone “On/off sensor” (1) . Next, touch the minus setting selector (5) to set the power level to 9. Then, touch the plus setting selector (4) and the cooking zone indicator should alternate between 9 and the letter ‘A’. Finally, press and hold the minus setting selector (5) to set the desired auto-heat power level.

Please note: You can use the plus setting selector (4) to adjust the power level if you go too low but pressing the minus setting selector a second time will cancel the auto-heat function and you will have to start again.

To deactivate the auto-heat function

• Simply touch the desired zone’s “On/off sensor” (1) (if zone control is not already active) followed by the minus setting selector (5). The display will return the preset power level.

Safety key lock
To prevent accidental use, the hob has a safety key lock which switches controls off temporarily or completely. The safety key lock can be activated when the hob is turned on but not when power has been switched off at, or the appliance disconnected from, the mains. The safety key lock is automatically activated after mains power supply has been restored.

To activate the safety key lock
With the hob switched on, simply touch the safety key lock sensor (2) for approximately 2 seconds. The hob will beep and the safety key lock LED should illuminate. With either one or more zones actively heating the lock can still be activated. Simply press and hold the safety key lock sensor (2) for approximately 2 seconds. The hob will beep and the safety key lock LED should illuminate.

To deactivate the safety key lock
Simply touch and hold the safety key lock sensor (2) for approximately 2 seconds. The hob will beep and the safety key lock LED should extinguish.
Please note: The safety key lock may activate when the power supply is activated for the first time. The safety key lock sensor LED will flash when you try to operate the hob if so. Simply deactivate the safety key lock as per the above step and proceed to use the hob as normal.

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. An “ ” will show if the relevant zone is 65°c or above. You should avoid touching any zone whilst the hob is in use or whilst residual heat indicators are 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.
Residual heat indicators may show on one or more zone when the hob is activated for the first time. This is not indicative of a fault and they should disappear after the zone’s use (and once the zone has cooled down).

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.

A cleaning guide is available on page 14.

Installation – preparation

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.8 on page 19. If installing the hob in a cupboard unit, then we recommend the use of a partition panel.

Ventilation requirements:
This appliance must be installed to allow air to flow freely. 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. 4 and 5).

If fitting a CDA cooker hood above the hob:
If a CDA 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.6). 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: 576 mm Depth: 518 mm

Worktop cut-out dimensions:
Width: 560 mm Depth: 490 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 ).Do not install the appliance without the foam gasket.

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. 7).
   

If fitting the hob into a 28-40mm worktop:
The four fixing clips supplied should be used. If fitting the hob into a thin worktop (i.e. 28mm), then we recommend using four 15x15x50mm wooden batons in addition to the brackets (as per figs. 9 and 10).

Position the fixing brackets perpendicularly to the hob’s edge and tighten firmly. Do not use power tools to do so.
