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. Otherwise the induction zone will
not operate.

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.
Switching the hob on
oWhen the hob is connected to a power
supply, an audible signal will sound. All of
the cooking zone indicators will come on
for 1 second and then go off. The hob has
now entered stand-by mode.
oPress the ON/OFF button (1).
oAll of the cooking zone indicators (7) will
read “-”.
Switching on a zone and setting a power level
IMPORTANT: A zone must be selected within 2 minutes of turning the
hob on.
oPress the cooking zone selection button (6) of the cooking zone
that you want to use.

13
oSelect the power level for the
cooking zone that you have
selected, by using the plus (4)
and minus (5) buttons.
oThe cooking zone indicator will show power level 5 initially.
oWhen the cooking zone indicator shows the power level that you
require, release the plus and minus buttons and the cooking
zone will start to heat.
Switching off a zone gradually
oPress the cooking zone selection button (6) of the cooking zone
that you want to switch off.
oPress and hold down the minus
button (5) until the number in
the cooking zone indicator
reaches “0”.
oAfter a few seconds, the cooking
zone will switch off.
oA flashing “H” symbol will show in the cooking zone indicator (7)
until the temperature of the zone falls below 60°C (see the
section on the “residual heat indicator” for further information).

14
Switching off a zone instantly
oPress the zone selection button (6) of the cooking zone that you
want to switch off.
oPress the plus (4) and
minus button (5)
simultaneously.
oThe zone will switch off
immediately.
oA flashing “H” symbol will show in the cooking zone indicator (7)
until the temperature of the zone falls below 60°C (see the
section on the “residual heat indicator” for further information).
Switching the hob off
Once you have switched off all of the cooking zones, you should switch
the hob off.
oPress the ON/OFF button (1).
oIt is possible to turn the hob off at any time by
pressing the ON/OFF button.

15
Residual heat indicator
oAfter a zone is switched off, the corresponding
cooking zone indicator (7) 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.
oIMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if your
mains supply is cut.
Pan sensor
Each zone has a sensor on it, so it can detect the presence of a pan.
oThe sensor is fine-tuned to detect a pan being placed on it. The
pan should be one size smaller than the nominal diameter of the
zone.
oIf after placing a pan on a cooking zone and selecting that
cooking zone, a “U” shaped symbol appears on the cooking zone
indicator (7). This means that the pan is either the incorrect size
or shape. Or it could be made from a material that is
inappropriate for use on an induction zone hob.
oIf a cooking zone is selected but no pan is detected, the pan
sensor system will check for the presence of a pan
approximately every few seconds.
oYou should check that your pans are suitable for use on an
induction zone hob (see the pan manufacturer’s trademark or
instructions).

16

oThe bottom of the pans should be as flat and thick as possible.
oCertain types of cookware may result in a noise being made
when being used on an induction zone hob. This does not mean
that there is an appliance fault.
oIMPORTANT: You should make sure that all pans are placed in
the centre of the induction zone that you are using.

safety lock button (2) for a couple of seconds. The “L0”
symbol will disappear from the timer display and you
are then able to use the hob in normal operation.

18
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 (hours)
1 – 3 8
4 – 6 4
7 – 9 2
oIf more than one zone is operating when one of the zones
reaches its safety cut-off point, only the zone which has reached
its safety cut off point will switch off.
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 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 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.

19
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.
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.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning 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 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
warm water and a little washing up liquid.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface;
you should clean it using warm 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.
