Safety Information
Keep an eye on children when the
hob is in use. Pans get very hot
when used and remain warm for
some time after the hob has been
turned off. Never let children touch
or play with the controls.
Never leave the hob unattended
when deep fat frying, or heating fats
and oils. In the event of fire turn off
all controls and if you have a cooker
hood this must be turned off as well.
Never leave paper, dish cloths, alu-
minium foil or any other easily ignit-
ed materials close to the
hob. A hot hob can cause foil, plastic
or paper to melt or burn.
Put out flames with a lid, and
never use water.
Check that the hob is turned off
when not in use.
Persons with pacemakers should
keep their upper body at a minimum
distance of 30 cm from the zones
when turned on.
Never place any magnetically
charged objects (e.g. credit cards,
cassettes etc.) on the vitroceramic
The hob is intended for domestic use
only. If it is used in any other way
there is a risk of accidents.
Children
Use
For reasons of hygiene and safety
the cooking zones must be kept
clean. Grease and spilt food liberate
smoke when heated and may at
worst cause fire.
Service and repair must be per-
formed by our service organisation
or an organisation approved by us.
Only spare parts supplied by our
service organisation may be used.
Make sure the packaging is disposed
of in such a manner that children
cannot access the used packaging.
Cleaning and Maintenance

Ceramic glass is insensitive to tem-
perature shock and very robust:
however it is not unbreakable.
Especially sharp and hard
objects that fall on the cooking sur-
face can damage it.
Ceramic hob
Induction
When you switch on a zone, a high-
frequency magnetic field is formed
between the induction coil and the
magnetic base of the pan. This mag-
netic field contains induction cur-
rents. The base of the pan slows
down the induction currents, thus
forming heat which first heats the
pan base and then the food in the
pan.

Saucepan base
Quicker cooking
With induction, your pans become
hot immediately. This means you
save time and energy when cooking
by induction. As the necessary heat
for cooking the food is formed in the
base of the pan, the hob hardly gets
hot. However, it does absorb the sur-
plus heat from the pan base.

9
High safety levels
The individual zones will only get
hot when a pan with a magnetic base
is placed on them. It is impossible to
turn on an empty zone. When you
remove the pan from a lighted zone,
the zone will turn off even if you do
not switch it off. Remember that
there will still be residual heat in the
vitroceramic hob. The zone will
remember the last setting for about
20 seconds.
Overheating protection
When a pan is placed on a zone, the
pan will heat up. A sensor under
each zone measures the temperature
of the zone and the pan. If the tem-
perature gets too high, the zone will
automatically switch off.
Quick adjustment
When you turn on a zone, the pan
will become hot very quickly. When
you turn the heat down, the heat
quickly dissipates.
Easy cleaning
Any spills will not burn onto the vit-
roceramic hob as the area to the side
of the pan is not hot. Cleaning of
spills is therefore easy.
Power
The front zone has a facility for
switching in extra heat to give an
even quicker boiling time. When
using Power on the front zone the
rear zone cannot be set at the highest
setting. Information on how to use
Power is given in the Section “How
to use....Power”.
Cooling fan
A fan protects the electronics from
overheating. When you have fin-
ished using the zones, the fan will
continue to run until the electronics
have cooled down.
Electronic control system
The hob has an electronic control
system to ensure precise heat control
of the zones. The electronics have
the following functions:
- Power, extra heat
- AUTOMAX, automatic boiling
- Safety shutdown
- Autostop. Automatic turning off of
zones
- Child safety
- Minute minder and timer

10
Before Use
Protect the ceramic hob
Before using the hob for the first
time it must be cleaned for manufac-
turing residues such as dust, dirt etc.
Apply a protective coating on the
ceramic hob before you use it. This
way it becomes easier to clean the
glass and you prevent any spillage
from burning.
This is what you do:
1. Pour a few drops of the cleaning
agent supplied with the hob on
paper towel and rub it on to the
entire surface.
2. Polish the surface with a clean
cloth until it is dry.

11
How to use
Ceramic hob
Never use a cracked vitroce-
ramic hob.
Water could boil over and/or
cleaning agents penetrate
into the live electrical parts.
Switch off the power to the
appliance and contact
Service.
Never place aluminium foil,
paper, plastic or similar on
the hob. A hot heating zone
could cause foil, plastic or
paper to melt or burn.
Never leave the hob unat-
tended when deep frying or
melting fat, paraffin wax or
other easily ignited sub-
stances. In case of fire, turn
off all knobs and switch off
any cooker hood.
Put out the fire with a lid,
and never use water.
Scrape any spills from the
hob straight away with a
razor. Spills of sugar and
sugar-rich foods (jam, fruit
syrup etc.), melted plastic
and aluminium foil may
damage the hob. Never
place wet saucepans on the
hob.
Make sure there is no sand, sugar or
salt on the base of the pan. Sand can
cause scratches and sugar and salt
can damage the hob.
Always dry pans before placing
them on the hob. The coloured deco-
ration on the hob may wear away or
suffer scratches depending on use.
Do not use the ceramic hob without
the aluminium strip in place.
Do not use the ceramic hob as a
work surface as this could damage
the hob.
