IMPORTANT NOTE – WARNING and SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance complies with all current European safety legislation, however Baumatic do wish
to emphasise that compliance does not remove the fact that surfaces will become hot during use
and retain heat after operation.
Baumatic therefore strongly advise that babies and young children are prevented from being near
or touching the appliance at any time.
If it is necessary for younger family members to be in the kitchen, please ensure that they are kept
under close supervision at all times.
We also advise that great care is taken during use and cleaning operations.
Do make sure that the pan handles are always correctly positioned to avoid accidental contact.
Do not leave heated oil or fat unattended as there is a risk of fire.
Do use pans that are flat bottomed and the correct size for the heating area to be used (never smaller).
Do not allow electrical fittings or cables to be in contact with hot areas of the appliance.
Do not use the appliance for space heating or to dry clothes.
Do not install the appliance next to curtains or soft furnishings.
NOTE: This appliance must be correctly installed by a suitably qualified person, strictly in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. For gas installations, the Installer must be Corgi
registered (all Baumatic Engineers are Corgi registered) and for electrical installations, NICEIC
registration is recommended.
Baumatic Ltd declines any responsibility for injury or damage to persons or property as a result of
improper use or installation of this appliance.
Heat, steam and moisture will be created during use, take care to avoid injury and ensure
that the room is adequately ventilated. If prolonged use occurs, additional ventilation may
be required – please consult your Qualified Installer if you are in any doubt about the
amount required.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
These User Instructions should be retained for future reference and for use by a person who is
perhaps unfamiliar with the appliance.
The following models are covered by these instructions:
USING THE HOB
The symbols on the Control Panel fascias show which hotplate the control system operates. A
pilot light indicates when a hotplate is switched on.
Rotate the control knob that corresponds to the hotplate to be used, from the position ‘0’ to the
required temperature setting. The higher the number, the higher the heat output.
Every cooking zone has a corresponding Residual Heat Indicator neon (to be found at the front of
the hob on the right hand side). The neon will light up when the corresponding cooking zone
becomes hot, and will remain lit until the temperature on the cooking zone has dropped below
50°C.

WARNING
•Do not use commercial simmering aids as these can create excessive heat that can damage the
appliance.
•Do not use the glass ceramic surface of the hob as a griddle.
•Do not leave hotplates on without a pan or an empty pan.
•Be aware that hotplates will retain heat whilst cooling down.
•When cooking foods with high sugar content, ensure that any spillage is removed
immediately to avoid damage to the ceramic surface.
HELPFUL HINTS
•Always use the correct diameter pan, one that is the same or slightly larger than the hotplate.
•The bottom of the pan must be flat.
•Whenever possible keep the lid on the pan when cooking.
•Avoid over-spill of liquid by reducing the heat when boiling has occurred.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE
Always allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning to avoid a burn injury.
Do not use caustic or abrasive agents, coarse wire wool or hard tools as these can damage the
surface finish.
Normally, wiping with a soft cloth dampened with hot detergent and drying with a soft cloth is
sufficient but for stubborn marks the following is recommended:
Vitreous Enamel or Stainless Steel parts – use only a cleaner that is recommended for these
types of material – avoid chloride based products (such as bleach).
Glass Ceramic surfaces – if any spillage becomes burnt on, remove with a ceramic glass cleaner
or scraper and clean with a cleaner-conditioner containing silicone.
Do not allow the ceramic glass surface to become scratched or damaged as this could lead to
a hazard.

the following UK Regulations and Safety Standards or their European Norm replacements:
