Using the ceramic hob
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see “Maintenance and cleaning” section).
- You should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on the heating elements during transit.
- Do not burn off more than one zone at once.
- You must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on each zone as you burn it off.
Touch controls:
- All operations are performed by means of the touch controls that can be found on the control panel.
- Each touch control has a visual display that corresponds to it.
Switching the hob top on
- Press the ON/OFF button(7) to switch on the appliance.

Self-heating time
(minute)
| 1| 3| 4.8| 6.5| 8.5| 2.5| 3.5| 4.5| 5
Notice:
- Only if self-heating at max power within 30s,press minus button can reduce the power,if press minus button after 30s,it will quit the self-heating mode.
- If self-heating at max power after 30s,as long as it is still alternately display “A” and “9”, press plus button the hob will stay at self-heating mode.
- When changing power level,the passed time will be automatically calculated into the corresponding heating time of the new power level.
- Within 30s self-heating time,if press minus button to any level,the passed time will be calculated to the new setted level time,after heating at that remaining time,the hob will turn back to normal heating mode.
Setting a countdown time
The hob timer can be used as a minute minder at any time without affecting the
cooking process or power setting.
- To set a minute minder countdown, press the timer button, use the plus (9) or minus (5) button so the timer display shows “- -“.
- Use the timer button , press plus and minus buttons to adjust the time by 10 minutes.
- Once the desired time is set, release all buttons and after 5 seconds the timer countdown will be set.
- The timer display will show the remaining countdown time.
- When the set time is reached, a buzzer will sound for 30 seconds and the timer display will show “- -“.
- To cancel a countdown time that is in progress, press the plus and minus buttons simultaneously.
IMPORTANT: The countdown timer controls the entire hob, rather than an individual cooking zone. When this function is used, the hob will switch off entering stand-by mode.
Safety cut-off
- If one or more of the cooking zones are accidentally left on, a safety cut off will activate after a certain period of time. The length of time depends on the power level that a zone or zones have been set on.
- If more than one zone is operating when one of the zones reaches its safety cut-off point, only the zone which has reached its safety cut off point will switch off.

Hob guidelines
- The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid, burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated use.
- The worktop is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and power.
- The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same diameter as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
- You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch the ceramic surface.
- Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean and dry.
- When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
- The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms.
- If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.
- Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat.
- Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce cooking times.
- Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob top if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface. Any spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not prevent the hob surface from becoming damaged.
IMPORTANT: The ceramic hob surface is tough; however it is not unbreakable and can be damaged. Especially if pointed or hard objects are allowed to fall on it with some force.
DO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE BECOMES BROKEN OR CRACKED. YOU SHOULD SWITCH OFF THE APPLIANCE TO AVOID THE POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRIC SHOCK AND CONTACT THE BAUMATIC CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
Maintenance and cleaning
Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the hob is cool. The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning process.
Cleaning the ceramic hob top
- Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
- Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface; you should clean it using warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
- You may find it easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob surface is still warm. However you should take care not to burn yourself if cleaning the hob surface when it is still warm.
After each use
- Wipe the appliance over with a damp cloth.
- Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
