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.
oDo not place a pan on the ceramic hob until this burn off process
has been completed.
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.

It is possible to turn the hob off at any time by pressing the ON/OFF
button (1).
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

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

19
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
enameled 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
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.
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.
