Induction Hob
Parts of the appliance
may become hot while
in use. Always make
sure that children
are supervised when
they are near to the
appliance.
Always position pans
over the centre of the
cook zone, and turn
the handles to a safe
position so they cannot
be accidentally knocked
or grabbed.
Do not leave pans on
the hob when you’re not
around - take them off
the cook zone if you
have to leave the kitchen
even if you think it will
only be for a moment,
while you answer the
door or phone.
If you use a griddle plate
ensure it is completely
cool before attempting
to lift it from the hob as
residual heat may cause
burns, Always use oven
gloves to protect your
hands.
The appliance has a
glass hob top, make
sure you do not drag
pans across the ceramic
surface as this will
lead to scratches and
damage.
Do not use the hob
surface as a chopping
board or food
preparation area as this
may lead to it becoming
damaged.
The glass ceramic can
get hot whilst cooking;
even though the cook
zone itself does not
generate heat. The heat
generated is conducted
back from the hot pans.

Safety
5.160
Keep electrical leads
from trailing over or
going near the hob.
The appliance must
never be disconnected
from the mains supply
during use as this will
seriously affect the

becoming hot and
component parts not
workingefciently.The
coolingfan(iftted)is
designed to run on after
the control has been
switched off.
Fire Safety Advice
Mostkitchenresoccurwhenpeopleare
distracted or leave things unattended, so
remember:
If you’re called away from the cooker - by
the phone or someone at the door, either
take pans off the heat, or switch off your
hob.
Don’t let yourself be distracted while
cooking.
Ifyoudohaveareinthekitchen,don’t
take any risks - get everyone out of your
home and call the Fire Brigade.
Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or
oil can be dangerous and may result in a
re.NEVERtrytoextinguisharewith
water, but switch off the appliance and
thencoveramee.g.withalidorare
blanket.
WARNING - If a pan catches re:
• Do not move it - it is likely to be
extremely hot
• Turn off the heat if it’s safe to do so
- but never lean over a pan to reach
the controls.
• Ifyouhaveareblanket,putitover
the pan.
• Ifyouhaveputthereout,leavethe
pan to cool completely.
Deep-fat frying presents more
dangers in your kitchen.
• Neverllachippan(orotherdeep-
fatfryer)morethanone-thirdfullof
oil
• Donotuseareextinguisher
on a pan of oil - the force of the
extinguishercanspreadthereand
createareball.
If you have an electrical re in the
kitchen:
• Pull the plug out, or switch off the
power at the fuse box - this may be
enoughtostopthereimmediately
• Smothertherewithareblanket,
or use a dry powder or carbon dioxide

USING THE HOB
Pans and cookware for induction
hobs.
Pans and Cookware for induction cooking
zones must be made of ferrous mate-
rial such as cast iron and have magnetic
properties. The base must also be of the
correct diameter.
It’simportantthatgoodqualityatbot-
tomed pans are used.
If a pan creates a large air gap over the
middle of the cooking zone, the accuracy
of the temperature sensing can be af-
fected.
Always ensure that pan bases are dry
before using them on the hob.
Get a magnet, if a magnet doesn’t stick to
your pan, it is not suitable for use on the
induction hob.
Beware:- Not all induction pans are of
the same quality due to their construc-
tion. Pans that use enamelled/laminated/
encapsulatedbasescanbedifculttode-
tect,especiallysmallpans(e.gmilkpans)
This problem is not with induction hob but
with the pan type, they can have bases
which are magnetic but are not thick
enough! If you experience problems
with small pans we recommend that you
to try a larger pan or a pan of a different
construction. Solid cast iron pans give the
best performance.

Overheat pan protection
The hob is equipped with additional safety
systems that help to prevent cookware
from overheating, providing an additional
level of safety not available on conven-
tional hobs such as gas and ceramic hobs.
Helpsreducetheriskofrethroughmis-

will be displayed in all cook zone displays,
the hob can now be used normally.
Residual Heat Indicators “H”
If when the cook zone is switched off the
glass surface is above 60oC, “H” will be
displayed in the cook zone display until
the glass surface drops below approx
55oC.
This feature not only warns you against
hot surfaces but also indicates that there
is residual heat which can be used as
temporary warm zone.
Note:
The cook zone itself does not heat up, but
the ceramic glass does get hot because
of the hot pan conducting heat back onto
the hob glass.

USING THE HOB
TROUBLESHOOTING
The hob produces a smell the rst
few times it is used.
Heat a pan full of water on each zone for
half an hour.
Pans make a noise during cooking
This is caused by vibration due to the pas-
sage of energy from the hob to the pan.
On a high setting this is quite normal for
certain types of saucepan. It will not dam-
age the hob.
The hob makes a slight clicking
sound
This is caused by the distribution of power
between two heating zones on the same
side of the hob.

CLEANING
ELECTRIC HOB
Ceramic glass hobs
• The ceramic hob top can be cleaned
using a clean, damp cloth or kitchen
paper. Do not use a used dishcloth
orspongeastheycanleavealmof
detergent on the surface which can
lead to discoloration. Please ensure
that the elements are cooled fully to
avoid steam burns.
• You can use a specialist ceramic
cleaner to restore the surface, but
use sparingly to avoid coating the
hob top too thickly. Too much cream
cleaner will lead to discolouration.
Use a dry, clean cloth to polish the
surface.
• For stubborn marks, a specialist hob
scraper can be used.
• Do not use steam cleaners or high-
pressure cleaning equipment.
• Regular cleaning will prevent any
salts or minerals from accumulating
on your hob and discolouring the
glass.
• Wipe any spillage as soon as pos-
sible.
• Clean the hob top as regularly as
possible, this will prevent any build
upofgreasewhichmaybeare
hazard.
Solid plate hobs
• Prime and Season - this helps main-
tainthenishoftheelements.
• Use a damp, clean cloth to wipe the
solid plate, making sure that you
follow the circular grooves and avoid
damaging the red spots. Make sure
that you allow the hotplate to dry
before use by switching on the ele-
ments at a low heat.
• You can restore the hotplates by us-
ing a solid plate cleaner but take care
to avoid the red spots on elements.
• Toprime:Switchoneachelementin
turn for a short while (with no pan on
it)atamedium-highsetting.This
will harden and burn off the coating.
• Toseason:Heattheelementfor30
seconds at a medium setting then
switch off. Use a minimum amount
of unsalted vegetable oil, on a dry
cloth or paper towel, and apply a thin
coat of oil to the element surface.
Wipe off the excess and heat the ele-
ment for one minute.

installation
Installing the hob over a unit with a
drawer or door
Air outlet is underneath work surface.
If necessary, remove the front crosspiece
of the unit.
