of this hob should be carried out by
an authorised service person or
qualified electrician, according to the
instructions in this guide and in
compliance with the current local
regulations.
WARNING: THE HOB MUST BE
EARTHED.
•Before connecting the hob to the power
supply, the voltage rating of the hob
(stamped on the hob identification plate)
must be checked for correspondence to
the available mains supply voltage, and
the mains electric wiring should be
capable of handling the appliance’s
power rating (also indicated on the
identification plate).
•During installation, please ensure
that isolated cables are used. An
incorrect connection could damage your
hob. If the mains cable is damaged and
needs to be replaced this should be
done by a qualified person.
•Do not use adaptors, multiple sockets
and/or extension leads.
•The supply cord should be kept away
from hot parts of the hob and must not
be bent or compressed. Otherwise the
cord may be damaged, causing a short
circuit.
•If the hob is not connected
to the mains with a plug, a all-pole
disconnector switch (with at least 3 mm
contact spacing) must be used in order
to meet the safety regulations.
•The fused switch must be easily
accessible once the hob has been
installed.
•Ensure all connections are adequately
tightened.

3. HOB FEATURES
Important: Specifications for the hob vary and the appearance of your hob may differ
from that shown in the figures below.
List of Components
1. Heating Zone
2. Control Panel

4. USE OF HOB
4.1 Hob controls
Heating Zones
The heating zones are controlled by a 6
position knob.
The heating zones is operated by turning
the control knob to the required setting.
Near each control knob is a symbol which
indicates the heater that is controlled by
that knob. The on/off light on the control
panel will show if any of the heating
zones are in use.
Knob Position Function
0 Off position
1Keep warm position
2-3 Heating position at low heat
4-5-6 Cooking, roasting and boiling
position
Important: The knob rotation
direction may differ according to the
product specification.
Dual and Oval Heaters (if available)
Dual and oval heaters have two heating
zones. To activate the outer zone of a dual/
oval heater, turn the knob to position.
Both outer zones will switch on.
To deactivate the outer zone of a dual/oval
heater, turn the knob to the ‘Off’ position.
Both outer zones will switch off.
Residual Heat Indicator (if available)
After using the hob there will be heat
stored in the vitroceramic glass called
residual heat. If the residual heat level is
greater than +60°C, the residual heat
indicator will be active for the heating zone
which is above this temperature.
If the power supply to the hob is
disconnected while the residual heat
indicator is on, the warning light will flash
when the power is reconnected. The
display will flash until the residual heat has
decreased or until one of the heating zones
is activated.
Hints and Tips
Important: When heating zones are
operated in higher heat settings, the
zones may be seen switching
on and off. This is due to a safety device
which prevents the glass from overheating.
This is normal at high temperatures,
causing no damage to the hob and little
delay in cooking times.
WARNING:
• Never operate the hob without
pans on the heating zone.
•Use only flat saucepans with a
sufficiently thick base.
•Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry
before placing it on the hob.
•While the heating zone is in operation,
it is important to ensure that the pan is
centred correctly above the zone.
•In order to conserve energy, never use
a pan with a different diameter to the
heating zone being used.

•If possible, always place lids on the
pans.
•The temperature of accessible parts
may become high while the hob is
operating. Keep children and animals

well away from the hob during operation
and until it has fully cooled after
operation.
•If you notice a crack on the hob, it
must be switched off immediately
and replaced by authorised service
personnel.
5. CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
5.1 Cleaning
WARNING: Switch off the hob
and allow it to cool before cleaning
is to be carried out.
General Instructions
•Check whether the cleaning materials
are appropriate and recommended by
the manufacturer before use on your
hob.
•Use cream cleaners or liquid cleaners
which do not contain particles. Do not
use caustic (corrosive) creams, abrasive
cleaning powders, rough wire wool or
hard tools as they may damage the
cooker surfaces.
Do not use cleaners that contain
particles, as they may scratch the
hob and its components .
• Should any liquids overflow, clean them
immediately to avoid parts becoming
damaged.
Do not use steam cleaners for
cleaning any part of the hob.
Cleaning the Ceramic Glass
Ceramic glass can hold heavy utensils but
may be broken if it is hit with a sharp object.
WARNING : Ceramic Hobs - if the
surface is cracked, to avoid the
possibility of an electric shock, switch
off the hob and call for service.
• Use a cream or liquid cleaner to clean
the vitroceramic glass. Then, rinse and
dry them thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Do not use cleaning materials meant
for steel as they may damage the
glass.
• If substances with a low melting point
are used in the cookware’s base or
coatings, they can damage the glass-
ceramic hob.If plastic, tin foil, sugar or
sugary foods have fallen on the hot
glass please scrape it off the hot
surface as quickly and as safely as
possible. If these substances melt, they
can damage the glass. When you cook
very sugary items like jam, apply a layer
of a suitable protective agent
beforehand if it is possible.
• Dust on the surface must be cleaned
with a wet cloth.
• Any changes in colour to the ceramic
glass will not affect the structure or
durability of the ceramic and is not due
to a change in the material.
Colour changes to the ceramic glass may
be for a number of reasons:
1. Spilt food has not been cleaned off the
surface.
2. Using incorrect dishes on the hob will
erode the surface.
3. Using the wrong cleaning materials.
Cleaning the Stainless Steel Parts (if
available)
• Clean the stainless steel parts of your
appliance on a regular basis.
• Wipe the stainless steel parts with a soft
cloth soaked in only water. Then, dry
them thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Do not clean the stainless steel parts
while they are still hot from cooking.
Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk, salt,
water, lemon or tomato juice on the
stainless steel for a long time.
