Using the ceramic hob
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see
“Cleaning and maintenance” section).
oYou 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.
oDo not burn off more than one zone at once.
oYou must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on
each zone as you burn it off.
Touch controls
oAll operations are performed by means of the touch controls that
can be found on the control panel.
oEach touch control has a visual display that corresponds to it.

Switching the hob top on
oPress the ON/OFF button (10) to switch on
the appliance.
oThe hob will beep once and all of the
cooking zone indicators will light briefly then
go out.
oThis means that the hob has entered stand-by mode.
Switching on a zone and setting a power level
IMPORTANT: A zone must be selected within 1 minute of switching
the hob on.
oPress the cooking zone plus button
(4) of the zone that you want to
use.

down.
Switching off a zone
oPress the cooking zone minus
button (2) of the zone that you
want to switch off.

automatically.
oThe letter “H” will show in the cooking zone indicator (3), (see

cooking zones, you should turn off the hob.
oPress the ON/OFF button (10).
oIt is possible to turn the hob off at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (10).
oThe hob will switch off automatically after 1 minute, if none of
the zones are in use.
Residual heat indicator
oAfter a zone is switched off, the corresponding
cooking zone indicator (3) will show a flashing
letter “H”. This means that the temperature of the
zone is over 60°C and is therefore still high enough
to cause injury.
oWhen the temperature of the zone falls below 60°C, then the
letter “H” will go out.
oIMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if the
mains supply to the product is cut.
oIT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO BURN YOURSELF ON A HOB
ZONE, EVEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OF IT HAS
DROPPED BELOW 60°C.
Switching on the dual cooking zone
The dual cooking zone has two cooking areas that you can use a
central section and an outer section. You can use the central section
(A) independently or both sections (B) at once.
12

oPress the cooking zone plus button
(4) for the dual circuit zone.
oAdjust the zone between power levels 1 and 9, using the plus
(4) and minus (2) buttons. By holding down either of these
buttons, the value on the zone indicator (3) will adjust up or
down.
oThe central section of the dual cooking zone will switch on.
oIf you wish to activate the outer
section as well, you should press
the dual cooking zone ON/OFF
button (9). A neon above the
button will light.
oTo switch the outer section off, you should press the dual
cooking zone ON/Off button again. The neon above the button

by pressing the safety lock button
(1) whilst the appliance is switched
on.
oThe timer display (6) will show
“L0” to indicate that the safety lock
feature has been activated.
oWhen the safety lock has been switched on, it will disable any of
the other buttons on the control panel, apart from the ON/OFF
button (10).
oTo disable the safety lock feature, you should press the safety
lock button (1) again. The “L0” symbol will disappear from the
timer display (6) and you are then able to adjust the power of
any zone on the hob top.
The hob timer
Your hob has a timer which will countdown a period of time between 1
and 99 minutes. At the end of the countdown period an audible signal
will sound.
oUse the timer plus (8) and minus buttons (5) to set the
countdown time.
oThe timer display will show the countdown time that is being set.
oThe timer display will increase in 1 minute intervals each time
the timer plus button (8) is pressed.
14

oThe timer display will decrease in 1 minute intervals each time
the timer minus button (5) is pressed.
oIf the set time exceeds 99 minutes, the timer display will return
to showing 0.
oIf you press the timer plus (8) and minus buttons (5)
simultaneously, the timer display will reset to 0.
Setting a countdown time
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.
The hob timer can be used as a minute minder at any time without
affecting the cooking process or power setting.
oTo set a minute minder countdown, press the timer plus (8) or
minus (5) button so the timer display shows “- -”.
oUse the timer plus and minus buttons to adjust the time by 10
minutes.
oOnce the desired time is set, release all buttons and after 5
seconds the timer countdown will be set.
oThe timer display will show the remaining countdown time.
oWhen the set time is reached, a buzzer will sound for 30 seconds
and the timer display will show “- -“.
oTo cancel a countdown time that is in progress, press the timer
plus and minus buttons simultaneously.
15

Safety cut-off
oIf 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.

oIf 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
oThe first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
oThe worktop is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter
and power.
oThe 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.
oYou should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
oBefore use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are
clean and dry.
oWhen 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.
16

oThe 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.
oIf 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.
oPreferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower
heat.
oAlways cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to
reduce cooking times.
oFood 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.
oIMPORTANT: 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.
oDO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE BECOMES BROKEN
OR CRACKED. YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE CUSTOMER
CARE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
17

Cleaning and maintenance
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
oWipe the appliance over with a damp cloth.
oDry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
