General
Servicing should be carried out only by authorized personnel.
Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.
Do not store or use flammable liquids or items in the vicinity of this appliance.
Do not modify this appliance.

• Always ensure that pan bases are dry, stable, and flat before using them on the hob.
• Always match the size of the pan to the cook zone ­ do not use large pans on small zones or vice versa.
• Always position pans over the center of the cooking zone, and turn the handles to a safe position so they cannot be knocked or grabbed.
• Always lift pans onto and off the hob, rather than sliding them across the surface, to avoid marks and scratches.
• This appliance should only be used for normal domestic cooking of food.
• Never use the hob for any other purpose than cooking food.
• Plastic cooking utensils can melt if they come into contact with a warm hob. Never leave them close to, or on top of the hob.
• Never use the hob surface like a chopping board or food preparation area, as this may lead to it becoming damaged.
• Never leave the aluminum foil on the hob top, it reflects heat back into the element which leads to damage.
• Never heat up a sealed tin of food on the hob, as it may explode.
• Never leave pans overhanging the edge of the hob. The surface of the hob is smooth. If pans are knocked they may move on the hob top.

Fire Safety Advice
Most kitchen fires occur when people are distracted or leave things unattended, so remember:
If you’re called away from the hobby of the phone or someone at the door, either take pans off the heat or switch off your hob.
Don’t let yourself be distracted while cooking. If you do have a fire in the kitchen, don’t take any risks – get everyone out of your home and call the Fire Service.

If a pan catches fire:

• Do not move it – it is likely to be extremely hot.
• Turn off the heat if it’s safe to do so – but never lean over a pan to reach the controls.
• If you have a fire blanket or a lid, put it over the pan.
• If you have put the fire out, leave the pan to cool completely.

Deep-fat frying presents more dangers in your kitchen.

• Never fill a pan (or another deep-fat fryer) more than one-third full of oil.
• Do not use a fire extinguisher on a pan of oil – the force of the extinguisher can spread the fire and create a fireball.

If you have an electrical fire in the kit Chen:

• Pull the plug out, or switch off the power at the fuse box – this may be enough to stop the fire immediately
• Smother the fire with a fire blanket.
• Remember: never use water on an electrical or cooking oil fire.

Avoiding damage to the appliance.
The ceramic glass of the hob can be damaged by objects falling onto it. Be especially careful with heavy jars of food being stored in cupboards above the hob, we recommend storing them away from the hob area.

The edge of the glass can be damaged by being knocked by cookware.
Cookware made of cast iron, cast aluminum, or damaged bottoms can scratch the ceramic glass if pushed across the surface.
Objects that melt and things that boil over can burn onto the ceramic glass and should be removed as soon as possible.
To avoid damage to cookware and the ceramic glass, do not allow saucepans or frying pans to boil dry.
Do not use the cooking zones with empty cookware or without cookware in place.

USING THE HOB – ELECTRIC (CERAMIC)

Cooking Surface layout

Touch Controls
The touch controls of your hob have been designed to provide you with fingertip control of your hob, providing accurate and repeatable power settings for cooking and an easy clean surface that can be easily wiped over, When a cooking zone is activated the power setting is displayed for each zone individually.

Using The Touch Controls
Use the flat of your finger, not the tip, the controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure. The touch control keys take approximately 1 second to respond to your touch.
Always ensure the touch control area is clean, dry, and free from any objects (e.g. utensils, tea towels, and cloths), spillages, and water may make the controls difficult to operate.
A beeping sound will be activated and will keep on beeping every 10 seconds, to attract your attention, please remove any objects and clean the area as appropriate.

Applying Power To The Hob
Before switching on the power supply to the appliance, switch off any bright lights (Such as a cooker hood) and ensure the appliance is not in direct sunlight.
This is to enable the electronic controls to calibrate its sensitivity against the natural ambient lighting (Approx 30 seconds).
Failure to observe the above will result in the hob not functioning correctly, (Display showing “FL”). To rectify remove all strong lighting sources and re- apply power.
The hob should complete the calibration procedure satisfactorily and light such as cooker hoods can be used normally.
When power is first switched on the hob will always start up with the Key Lock activated.
Key Lock
A Red Led indicates when the key lock is active, to deactivate/ activate, touch the Key Lock key for 1 second.
The key lock is deactivated when the Red LED switches off.
If any of the cook zones are ON, the key lock function locks all the keys except the ON/ OFF key.
If the cook zones are OFF, the key lock function locks all the keys, including the ON/ OFF key.
Note: The Key Lock is automatically activated every time the electricity supply is switched off and back on to the hob.
To avoid unintentional switching on of the appliance, e.g. by small children and pets, we recommend the activation of the key lock f eat ur e.

Energy Saving Tips

• Always place cookware in the cooking zone before it is switched on.
• Whenever possible place lids on pans. · Switch off the cook zones before the end of the cooking time, taking advantage
  of residual heat. · The bottom of the cookware and the cooking zones should be the same size.

CLEANING

ELECTRIC  HOB
Ceramic glass hobs

• It is recommended that you clean and washes the hob surface before using it for the first time. Apply a thin coat of ceramic hob cleaner to the hob to help maintain and protect it.
• The ceramic hob top can be cleaned using a clean, damp cloth or kitchen paper. Do not use a used dishcloth or sponge as they can leave a film of detergent on the surface which can lead to discoloration. Please ensure that the elements are cooled fully to avoid steam burns.
• You can use a specialist ceramic cleaner to restore the surface but use it sparingly to avoid coating the hob top too thickly. Too much cream cleaner will lead to discoloration. Use a dry, clean cloth to polish the surface.
• For stubborn marks, a specialist hob scraper or cleaner can be used.
• Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaning equipment.
• Regular cleaning will prevent any salts or minerals from accumulating on your hob and discoloring the glass.
• Wipe any spillage as soon as possible.
• Clean the hob top as regularly as possible, this will prevent any build-up of grease which may be a fire hazard.

Notes:

• The edge of the ceramic glass will always appear to be a different color than the top surface due to the ground safety edge.
• Scratches or dark stains on the ceramic glass that cannot be removed do not affect the function of the appliance.

Safety when Cleaning

• For cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and cooled down.
  WARNING! Risk of burns from residual heat.

INSTALLATION

General information

Apply a suitable sealant to the cut edge to protect it from moisture ingress.
This hob can be installed conventionally (glass above the worktop) or recessed into the worktop for a flush fit.
Self-adhesive seal
Apply the self-adhesive seal to the underside edges of the hob glass. For best results, the seal should be adhered along each side in turn, as close to the edge as possible, and trimmed at each corner, taking care to ensure a neat join.

UNDERSIDE OF HOB

Conventional Installation
Refer to the installation bracket advice to determine your installation type. Place the hob in the aperture, checking the hob glass is covering the worktop along all four sides.
Set the front edge of the appliance parallel with the front of the worktop. Locate and attach the securing clamps as required, Tighten the screws so that the hob is pulled down
firmly against the worktop, thus ensuring a good seal.

Recessed Method
Recess the worktop to the appropriate depth (Approx 5mm) and shape to fit the hob (add 1mm to overall glass size). Refer to the installation bracket advice to determine your installation type. Insert the hob into the recess, ensuring that the foam seal is sitting correctly. Locate and attach the securing clamps as required, Tighten the screws so that the hob is pulled down firmly against the worktop, thus ensuring a good seal. You may want to fill any gap between the hob top glass and the worktop surface with silicone sealant.

DO NOT fit silicone sealant under the glass hob instead of the self- adhesive seal.
