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.
oEvery time you press a touch control, an acoustic signal will
sound.
Switching the hob on
oWhen your mains supply is switched
on, the safety lock may be active. If
the safety lock neon (3) is lit, you
should press the safety lock button
(2). The safety lock neon will go
out, which confirms that the safety
lock has been switched off.
oPress the ON/OFF button (1)
oThe cooking zone indicators (6) will all read “0”.
oThe decimal point symbols (7) will flash on and off.
11

Switching on a zone and setting a power level
IMPORTANT: A zone must be selected within 10 seconds of switching
the hob on.
oPress the plus (4) button for
the zone that you want to use.
oAdjust the zone between
power levels 1 and 9, using
the plus (4) and minus (5)
buttons. By holding down
either of these buttons, the
value on the zone indicator
(6) will adjust up or down
every 0.3 seconds.
oIf you press the minus button
first, then power level 9 will be
selected.
oIf you hold down either the minus or plus button and 0 appears
on the zone indicator, you will need to press either the plus or
minus button again before the power level will adjust.
Switching on the dual circuit zones
The double hyperspeed zones have 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

oAdjust one of the dual circuit
zones between power levels
1 and 9 using the plus (5)
and minus (4) buttons.
oThe central section of the
dual circuit zone will switch
on.
oIf you wish to also activate the outer section of a dual circuit
zone, you should press the relevant dual circuit ON/OFF button
(8). The dual circuit indicator neon (9) will light to confirm that
the inner and outer areas of the dual circuit zone are active.
Switching off a dual circuit’s outer section
oBoth zones of the dual circuit zone must be switched on.
oPress the relevant dual circuit ON/OFF button (8).
oThe dual circuit indicator neon (9) goes out to confirm that the
outer section of that zone has switched off.
Switching off a zone gradually
oPress the minus button (5)
until the number in the
cooking zone indicator
reaches “0”. After 3 seconds,
the zone will switch off
automatically.
oAn “H” will show in the
cooking zone indicator (6),
alternating with “0”. (See the
section on the “residual heat
indicator” on page 15).
13

Switching off a zone instantly
oPress the minus button (5) and the plus button (4)
simultaneously.
oThe zone will switch off immediately.
oAn “H” will show in the cooking zone indicator (6), alternating
with “0”. (See the section on the “residual heat indicator” on
page 15).
Switching the hob off
Once you have switched off all of the cooking zones, you should switch
off the hob.
oPress the ON/OFF button (1).
oIt is possible to switch the hob off at
any time by pressing the ON/OFF
button (1).
14

Residual heat indicator
oAfter a zone is switched off, the corresponding
cooking zone indicator (6) will show the letter “H”,
alternating with “0”. This means that the
temperature of the zone is over 60°C and is
therefore high enough to cause injury.
oIf you switch off the appliance using the ON/OFF button (1) then
only the “H” will appear in the cooking zone indicator (6).
oWhen the temperature falls below 60°C, then the letter “H” and
“0” will stop alternating (if the hob is still switched on), or the
“H” will go out (if the hob is not switched on).
oIMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if your
mains supply is cut.
Locking the hob top
oThe whole hob top can be
locked by pressing the safety
lock button (2) whilst the
appliance is switched on.
oThe safety lock neon (3) will
light to show that the safety
lock feature has been
switched on.
oWhen the safety lock feature is activated, it will disable any of
the other buttons on the control panel, except the ON/OFF
button (1).
oTo disable the safety lock feature, you should press the safety
lock button (2) again. The safety lock neon (3) will go out and
you are then able to adjust the power of any zone on the hob
top.
oIMPORTANT: If the appliance is switched off whilst the safety
lock feature is activated, then it will still be activated the next
time that you switch the appliance on. Therefore before you can
switch on a zone and set a power level, you will need to
deactivate the safety lock by pressing the safety lock button (2).
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.
LEVEL TIME LIMIT

oOnce the automatic pre-heating time period is over, the hob will
beep once and the decimal point symbol will go out. Only the
actual power level will show on the cooking zone indicator (6).
oThe period of time that a zone will automatically pre-heat for
before dropping to the required power level, is shown in the
table below:-
LEVEL TIME LIMIT

seconds by pressing one of the plus (4) or minus (5) buttons.
You should use these buttons to select your desired power level.
oThe zone will switch on and start to heat; the timer indicator
neon (13) will switch on next to the relevant cooking zone
indicator (6), to confirm that you have linked that zone to the
timer.
oUse the timer plus (10) and minus (11) buttons to adjust the
time that appears in the timer display (12).
oIf you press the minus button (11) “99” will appear on the timer
display (12) and it will count downwards. If you press the plus
button (10) “00” will appear on the timer display (12) and it will
count upwards.
oOnce the minus or plus buttons are released, the countdown will
start immediately.
oYou can adjust the time that has been set, by using the plus
(10) or minus (11) buttons for the timer.
oAt the end of the time period that has been set, an acoustic
signal will sound that lasts for 30 seconds, “00” will flash on the
timer display (12) and the selected zone will switch off.
oTo cancel the audible alarm, press either the minus (11) or plus
(10) buttons for the timer.
oThe timer can only be used for one zone at a time. Any other
zones that you have in use will not switch off at the end of the
countdown time.
19

20
oIf you wish to cancel the timer setting before it reaches the end
of the countdown period, press the plus (10) and minus (11)
buttons of the timer simultaneously.
oIMPORTANT: If you cancel the timer setting, the selected zone
will still remain on, therefore you will need to switch the zone off
manually.
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 bases, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
oBefore use, make sure that the bases of the saucepans are clean
and dry.
oWhen cold, the base 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.
oThe best thickness for the base of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of
enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich
type bases.
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.
