INSTALLATION

• WARNING! Only a qualified person must install this appliance.
• WARNING! Risk of injury or damage to the appliance.
• Remove all the packaging.
• Do not install or use a damaged appliance. If the appliance is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your dealer, who will take the necessary corrective action.
• Follow the installation instructions supplied with the appliance.
• Keep the minimum distance from other appliances and units.
• Always take care when moving the appliance as it is heavy. Always use safety gloves and enclosed footwear.
• Protect the bottom of the appliance from steam and moisture. Seal the cut surfaces of countertops with a sealant to prevent moisture to cause swelling.
• Surfaces and surrounding edges immediately adjacent to the hob should be able to withstand temperatures of up to 100°C without delaminating or discoloring.
• Do not install the appliance adjacent to a door or under a window. This prevents hot cookware from falling from the appliance when the door or window is opened.
• If the appliance is installed above the drawers make sure that the space, between the bottom of the appliance and the upper drawer, is sufficient for air circulation.
• The bottom of the appliance can get hot. To shield the user from this hot surface, make sure to install a removable separation panel made from plywood, kitchen carcass material, or other non-flammable materials under the appliance to prevent access to the bottom.
• It is recommended that the separation panel be fitted at least 75mm from the bottom face of the worktop. The space between the bottom of the appliance and the separation panel should be empty and no object should be stored there. The panel needs to be removable for service purposes as the hob, once installed, can only be loosened from below.
• If the hob is installed with a side adjacent to a vertical kitchen cabinet, the distance between the edge of the hob and that of the cabinet side should be a least 150mm. The distance between the back wall and the rear edge of the hob should be at least 55mm.

Aperture Size

• The hob is supplied with securing clips.
• To avoid liquid spills penetrating between the hob and the worktop, apply the supplied self-adhesive sponge seal to the perimeter of the aperture. Do not use a silicone sealer.
• Invert the hob on the worktop adjacent to the aperture before making the electrical connection. This will ensure sufficient cable length for subsequent servicing.
• Position the hob into the aperture so that the securing clips are compressed between the hob base and the worktop. (refer to Sketch below).

IMPORTANT!

• This appliance has a ‘Y’ type supply cord connection and must be installed by a licensed Electrician, who will ensure that the stove is correctly connected and safely earthed.
• The appliance must be earthed as the manufacturer and the seller do not accept responsibility for any damage due to incorrect installation or electrical connection.

• Note that settings are only possible for one hotplate at a time.

Switching a cooking zone OFF

• Select the required cooking zone to turn off by pressing the relevant (+) sensor (2) for one second.
• Press the (-) sensor (4) and set the power level to ‘0’, the hotplate will switch off after 10 seconds. Shortly thereafter the hot surface indicator light on the hob may switch on, display (H), and remain on for 20 to 30 minutes after the plate is switched off. This is a reminder that the hob surface is still too hot to touch.
• Fast deactivation. Press both + and — (2 and 4) touchpad sensors simultaneously to switch the hotplate off immediately.

Switching the hob off

• Switch the hob off by pressing the On / Off sensor (1).

Residual heat indicator
The remaining heat may be used for warming food as long as the symbol ‘H’ remains on after the cooking zone has been switched off.

WARNING!
There is a risk of burns from residual heat. The “H” indicators show the level of the residual heat for the cooking zones you have been using. The indicators may also come on for the neighbouring cooking zones even if you have not used them.

Dual Cooking Zone

• Both cooking zones of the dual plate switch on when switching the front left cooking zone on.
• When the dual cooking zone is selected, pressing the dual zone sensor (5) switches the outer circuit of the cooking zone off.
• Pressing the dual zone sensor (5) again will reactivate the outer circuit (don’t forget, the dual cooking zone must be selected before the dual zone sensor can operate to turn the outer zone on or off).
• An indicator light (6) shows when the outer zone is active.

Note
For improved safety, your hob is fitted with a temperature limiter preventing the zone from overheating should a pot boil dry etc.

ENERGY SAVING
You can save energy during everyday cooking if you follow the below hints.

• When you heat up water, use only the amount you need.
• Only use pots with a solid-level base. An uneven base may prolong cooking time and waste energy.
• If it’s possible, always put the lids on the cookware.
• Before you activate the cooking zone put the cookware on it.
• Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that of the thermal area. This will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot zone.
• Put the smaller cookware on the smaller cooking zones.
• Put the cookware directly in the center of the cooking zone.
• To save energy, switch the plates off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of a lengthy cooking period. The appliance should retain sufficient residual heat to complete the cooking process.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Ceran glass is a tough, durable material, which provides a beautiful, functional, and long-lasting cooking surface. To keep it looking good, it needs to be treated with care and cleaned regularly.
• Wipe spillage off as soon as possible with a damp cloth, preferably while the hob is still warm.
• Clean the hob with a nylon pad and a suitable smooth top cleaning solution. Remove calcium stains (yellow stains) by applying a small amount of lime remover such as vinegar or lemon juice. Other suitable commercially available products can also be used.
• If necessary stubborn spills may be removed using a blade scraper.
• Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasive powders as these could scratch the Ceran glass.
• Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build-up and ensure that the hob remains clean and attractive.
• Wipe the hob surround with a damp hot soapy cloth and dry.
• Avoid using pots with rough edges which could scratch the Ceran glass.
• Avoid dragging pots across the surface of the hob as this could also scratch the Ceran glass.
• Any spillage of sugar solution such as jam, must be removed immediately. If allowed to cool on the Ceran glass it could pit and damage the surface.
• The bottom of the cookware must be as thick and flat as possible. Ensure pan bases are clean and dry before placing them on the hob surface.
• Do not use poor-quality aluminum pots. These could leave unsightly deposits which in time, could adhere to the Ceran glass.
  • Cookware made of enameled steel and with aluminum or copper bottoms can cause a color change on the glass-ceramic surface.
• Do not use a Steam Cleaner to clean this appliance.
