Using the hob
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the hob surface and solid
plates (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.
oWhen doing this burn off process, an appropriately sized
saucepan containing cold water should be placed on the zone in
question.
oDo not burn off more than one zone at once.
Control knobs
oAll operations are performed by means of the 4 control knobs
that can be found on the right hand side of the hob top.
oThe control knobs can be turned either clockwise or anti-
clockwise to select a heating level. The numbers around the
outside of each control knob indicates the power level that you
have set the zone to.
oA marking to the bottom right of each control knob, indicates
which zone that it controls.
Switching on a zone and setting a power level
oTurn the control knob of the zone that you wish to cook on,
clockwise or anticlockwise until it reaches the power level that
you desire.
oEach cooking zone can be adjusted between 1 and 6, one being
the coolest zone setting and six being the hottest zone setting.
oWhen you have finished cooking, make sure that you turn the
control knob anti-clockwise, to the 0 position.

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 hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre
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 diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
oYou should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the solid plates.
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.
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 hob surface. Any spillages
should be wiped up immediately, however this may not prevent
the hob surface from becoming damaged.
oIMPORTANT: The 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 BAUMATIC
CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance 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 hob top
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning
agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with
water and a little washing up.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface;
you should clean it using water and a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob
surface is still warm. 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 and a little washing
up liquid.
oDry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
oIf the hob top is heavily soiled then if the hob surface is made
from stainless steel, then a suitable stainless steel cleaner
should be used.
oIMPORTANT: If a stainless steel cleaner is not used
regularly, then it is possible for the surface of the hob to
change colour over a period of time.
oFor other hob surfaces, a cleaner such as “Hob Brite” or “Bar
Keepers Friend” may be appropriate.
12

Using a specialist hob cleaner
It is possible to purchase specialist ceramic hob cleaner/conditioner.
You should follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of the
specialist ceramic hob cleaner. You should ensure that it is suitable for
use on your appliance.
Maintaining the solid plates
oIf something is spilt onto the plate itself, then it can be removed
using a soft brush, plastic or nylon scourer and warm water.
oTo keep the solid plates in good condition, you should put a little
olive oil onto a kitchen towel and rub it onto the surface of the
plate. The next time the plate is used, it may produce a little
smoke.
oAlternatively you can use a hotplate conditioner; these products
can normally be found at larger supermarkets and hardware
stores. The manufacturer’s instructions should be followed when
using these products.
oIMPORTANT: If the solid plates are not maintained
regularly with olive oil or a hotplate conditioner, then they
may rust.
Installation
The installation must be carried out by a suitably
qualified person, in accordance with the current
version of the following.
oUK Regulations and Safety Standards or their European
Norm Replacements.
oBuilding Regulations (issued by the Department of the
Environment).
oBuilding Standards (issued by the Scottish Development
Department).
oIEE Wiring Regulations.
oElectricity At Work Regulations.
13

Positioning
The adjacent furniture must be able to withstand a
minimum temperature rise of 85°C above the ambient
temperature of the room it is located in, during
periods of use.
This appliance is classified as Class 3 and therefore is to be built into a
kitchen unit (depending on size) or 600 mm worktop that is at least 30
mm thick. The following minimum clearance distances must be
observed:-
o700 mm between the hob surface and the underside of any
horizontal surface above it.
o50 mm clearance around the sides and front of the appliance.
o55 mm clearance between the back of the hob surface and the
wall behind it.
oIf the hob is positioned so that the right or left hand side of the
appliance will be near to the edge of a kitchen unit. There must
be a gap of at least 150 mm between the side of the hob and the
vertical surface of the kitchen unit.

from the aperture in future, particularly if it needs to be
serviced.
(A) Sealing strip
(B) Clamp
(C) Screw
oPlace the clamp (B) over the holes that match the size of the
screws. There are one set of screw holes in each corner of the
hob. Slightly tighten a screw (C) through the clamp (B) so that
the clamp is attached to the hob, but so that you can still adjust
the position of it.
oCarefully turn the hob back over and then gently lower it into the
aperture hole that you have cut out.
oOn the underneath of the hob, adjust the clamps into a position
that is suitable for your worktop. Then fully tighten the screws
