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 cooking zone as you burn it off.

12
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
oPress the ON/OFF button (9)
oThe cooking zone indicators (2) will all read
“-”.

13
Switching on a cooking zone and setting a power level
IMPORTANT: A cooking zone must be selected within 1 minute of

the cooking zone indicator (2) reaches “0”.
After a few seconds, the zone will switch off
automatically.

below 60°C (see the section on the “residual
heat indicator” for further information).

Once you have switched off all of the cooking zones, you should switch
off the hob.
oPress the ON/OFF button (9).
oIt is possible to switch the hob off at any time by
pressing the ON/OFF button (9).

section (A) independently or both sections (B) at once.
oUse the plus (4) or minus (3) buttons of the dual circuit cooking
zone that you wish to use and select a power level.

oPress the dual circuit ON/OFF button (8) and the outer section
will switch off.
Residual heat indicator
oAfter a zone is switched off, the corresponding
cooking zone indicator (2) 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.

15
Locking the hob top
oThe whole hob top can be locked by pressing
the safety lock button (1) whilst the appliance
is turned on.

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 (9).
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 cooking zone on the hob top.
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

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.

18
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.
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 BAUMATIC
CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.

19
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning operations must only be carried out
when the hob is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your
