Using the ceramic hob
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see
“Cleaning and maintenance” section).
oYou should switch on the hob 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.
oYou must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on the
zone as you burn it off. Otherwise the induction zone will not
operate.
Touch controls
oAll operations are performed by means of the touch controls that
can be found on the control panel. The controls respond to touch
so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
oTake care to ensure the controls are always clean and dry and
that there are no objects such as utensils and cloths covering
them. Even a thin film of water can make the control difficult to
operate.
oUse the ball of your finger to press a control, not the tip.

12
Induction cooking
oInduction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient and economical
cooking technology.
oIt works by electromagnetic vibrations
generating heat directly in the pan, rather
than indirectly through heating the glass
surface. The only heat present on the glass
surface is from the pan which warms it up.
Cooking on the induction zone
oWhen the appliance is first connected to the
electrical supply, the power light (2) will flash to
indicate that the hob is in a standby state.
oPress the ON/STANDBY button (1). A buzzer will sound and the
power light (2) will turn on.
oPlace a suitable pan on the cooking zone. Make sure that the
bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone are clean
and dry.
oPress the heat button (3) and a buzzer will sound.
The heat “W” light (4) will turn on to indicate that
the hob is heating up.

13
oThe hob will be set at the default temperature
setting of 3. You can change the power level by
pressing the temperature button (7).
oYou can then use the plus (11) and minus (9)
buttons to choose a different power level. The
temperature light (6) will turn on.
oYou can adjust the heat setting at any time during the cooking
process.
IMPORTANT: A buzzer will sound for 10 seconds before the hob
turns off if:
oThe pan is not placed correctly on the cooking zone
oThe pan you are using is not suitable for induction cooking. No
heating will occur unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking
zone.
oThe pan is too large or too small for the cooking zone.
Power level settings
oThe settings below are to be used as a guideline only. The exact
setting required will depend on several factors, including your
cookware and the amount of food that you are cooking.
oYou should experiment with the induction hob power levels to
find the best settings to suit you.

oBoiling water.
Using the timer
oWhen the cooking zone is in use, it is possible to set a
countdown time after which the hob will turn off automatically.
oTo set a countdown time, press the timer button
(8) and a buzzer will sound. The display will flash
“0:00” and the timer “min” light (10) will come
on to indicate that the hob has entered the time
setting mode.
oUse the plus (11) and minus (9) buttons to set
the required countdown time. Each press of
these buttons which increase or decrease the
time by 1 minute. If either of the buttons is held
down, the time will increase or decrease by 10
minutes.
oWhen the display shows the correct countdown time release all
buttons. The display will flash for 5 seconds before the timer will
be set. The countdown will then begin straight away.
oWhen the timer reaches “0:00” the hob will automatically switch
off. The default time for the hob to automatically switch off after
is 2 hours.
oYou can cancel the timer function at any time during the
countdown by pressing the timer button (8).
Turning off the induction zone after cooking
oAfter you have finished using the induction zone,
press the ON/STANDBY button (1) to turn the
hob off and stop the zone heating.

15
Suitable cookware
oYou should only use cookware with a base that is suitable for
induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the
packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
oYou can check whether your cookware is
suitable by carrying out a magnet test.
Move a magnet towards the base of the
pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable
for induction.
oIf you do not have a magnet, you can fill the pan with water and
place it on a cooking zone. If the buzzer does not sound and the
water is heating, the pan is suitable.
oCookware made from pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper
without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic and
earthenware are not suitable.
oDo not attempt to heat items made of iron as this can cause
dangerously high temperatures.
oDo not place paper, aluminium foil, cloths or other unsuitable
materials into the induction hob for heating.
oDo not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
oMake sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against
the glass and is the same size as the cooking zone.
oUse pans with a diameter as large as the induction zone. By
using a slightly wider pot, energy will be used at its maximum
efficiency. If you use a smaller pot, the efficiency of the hob
could be less than expected.
oPots should have a diameter of between 12 cm and 18 cm to be
detected by the induction zone. Always centre your pan on the
cooking zone.

16
oAlways lift pans off the induction hob, do not slide them as they
may scratch the glass.
Cooking tips
oIMPORTANT: Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat
up very quickly. At very high temperatures, oil and fat will
ignite spontaneously which presents a serious fire risk.
oWhen food comes to the boil, reduce the power level setting.
oUsing a lid on pans will reduce cooking times and save energy by
retaining the heat.
oMinimise the amount of liquid or fat used to reduce cooking
times.
oStart cooking on a high power setting and reduce the power level
when the food has heated through.
Hob guidelines
oThe first few times the hob is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
oThe saucepan must be positioned exactly on the zone for
efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same diameter
as the cooking zone that it is being used on.
oYou should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
oBefore use, make sure that the bottom of the saucepan is clean
and dry.
oWhen cold, the bottom of the pan should be slightly concave, as
it will 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.

17
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 areas.
oPreferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower
heat.
oAlways cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water as
possible, to reduce cooking times.
oDO NOT attempt to heat an empty pot.
oYou should never leave the hob unattended at any time during
use.
oFood or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob
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.
oNever heat foods in sealed containers, such as compressed
products or cans to avoid an explosion caused by heat
expansion.
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
SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning operations must only be carried out
when the oven is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your
mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
Cleaning the ceramic 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 liquid.

18
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.
oDO NOT directly rinse the induction hob under water. No liquids
should come into contact with the internal parts of the appliance.
After each use
oWipe the appliance over with a damp cloth.
oDry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
