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 immediately use more than one zone to burn.
You must place a saucepan half full with cold water on the cooking zone when you burn.

Operation instruction

Power On

After the appliance is powered on, all of the indicator lights on the display screen will light up for 2s, then the appliance goes into shutdown mode.
Shutdown status: All the display are turned off except for the indicator light on the heated cooking zone. At this time, only the power button “ ” can be long pressed to operate, and the operations of other programming knobs are invalid.

Standby mode

Under shutdown status, press and hold the button for 3s, all cooking zone indicator lights alternately turn on and off. The hob will enter standby mode.
Under standby mode, if no cooking zone has a heating operation, the appliance will go into shutdown status automatically after 1 minute.

Heating control

Under standby mode, you can set the power level by the corresponding programming knobs. In the process of adjusting the power level, clockwise rotation can increase the power level from 0 to 15 (maximum), and then rotate back to “0” for a cycle; Counterclockwise rotation can be adjusted from 15 to 1 power levels, and then rotate back to “0” for a cycle.
When the hob is in heating status, press and hold the power button for 3s to switch off, all the cooking zones stop heating. The indicator light of the previously heated cooking zone blinks, indicating that the surface of the corresponding cooking zone is in a high-temperature state, that is high temperature warning.
When one of the cooking zones needs to stop heating, the cooking zone can be selected through the corresponding programming knob, turn the programming knob to adjust the power level to “0” which turns off this cooking zone. At this time, other cooking zones’ heating is not affected.

Power level adjustment

You can select the appropriate output power level by rotating the programming knob of the corresponding cooking zone.
The power level is divided into 16 levels, including the shutdown level (0 levels). For the programming knob, rotate clockwise to increase the power level and anticlockwise rotation to decrease the power level. When rotating anticlockwise, if the power level is “0” at the beginning, you will rotate the 15 and then decrease the gear successively.
When the power level of any cooking zone is set to 0, the power output of the zone will be stopped automatically.
If one of the burners has been heated, and when the power level of all the cooking zones is 0, the appliance will automatically enter the shutdown status after 1 minute without effectively programming knob operation.

Shutdown

Under standby mode or heating mode, press and hold the button for 3s, and the appliance will go into shutdown mode.

Default timing

All the cooking zones have a default timing function. The relationship between default timing and power level is referred to in the table below;
When all the default timing is reached, the cooking zones will switch off automatically and enter into standby mode.

Protection function

High-temperature protection:
The electronic temperature sensor on the control panel will transmit the real- time temperature to the chip of the control panel. The control sensor starts protection when the electronic temperature sensor gauges the current temperature is higher than a certain value, to reduce the heating level of the cooking zone currently, and resumes the heating level after the temperature drops.
Residual heat protection:
When the whole appliance stops heating, the indicator lights of the relative cooking zone will display, indicating that the cooking surface temperature is too high, to avoid getting burnt do not touch the surface.
As long as the cooking zone has heated before, the indicator light will display for 35 minutes continually after the hob turns off.

PCB board fault codes and solutions
When a PCB board failure occurs, the indicator light on the display panel of the cooking zone will show the failure mode, and all the cooking zones that are being heated stop heating, and automatically return to the shutdown state after 1 minute. For the cooking zones that have been working, their indicator light will continue to display, slowly blinking once every second, indicating that the cooking surface temperature is too high. When the fault is indicated, please refer to the scheme in the following table to solve. Bellini-BCA64GK-

Caution!

Ensure the heating plate is clean-a soiled zone does not transfer all of the heat.
Protect the plate against corrosion.
Switch off the plate against corrosion.
Do not leave pans with dishes containing fats and oils unattended on the switched-on plate; hot fat can spontaneously catch fire.

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 diameters 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 enamel 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.

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 dash of washing-up liquid.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface; you should clean it using warm water mixed with a dash of 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.
