Safety
Keep children away from the vicinity of the hob
when you are cooking.
• Use pans with a flat base which are stable in use,
and avoid using any old misshapen pans or any pan
which is unstable when placed on a flat surface.
• Never leave fat or oil unattended on an active cook
zone. Don’t leave pans on the hob when you are
not around - remove them or turn the cook zones
off (even if only for a moment)
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the appliance
• Keep all flammable materials away from the hob.
Ensure electrical leads do not trail over or go near
the hob.
• Do not place aluminium foil or plastic utensils on hot
surfaces.
• Turn pan handles to a safe position, so they are out
of reach of children, not overhanging the appliance
and cannot be caught accidentally.
• Commercial simmering aids should not be used as
they create excessive temperatures that can dam-
age the surface and may cause a hazard.
• Caution: Do not use the hob if the glass is cracked,
as electrical parts are directly beneath. To avoid the
possibility of electric shock, turn off the electricity
supply to the hob at the socket and arrange a
Service call.
WARNING: If you use a griddle plate, ensure that
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.
Do not allow yourself to be distracted whilst
cooking.
When you have finished cooking check that all
controls are in the off position.

Safety Advice
Smoke alarm - buy a smoke alarm fitted with a ‘hush
button’ which can silence the alarm instantly should it
activate accidentally & does not necessitate the removal
of the battery (except to change for a new one).
Fire Blanket - consider having a fire blanket in your
kitchen, mounted on the wall where you can get to it
easily & quickly.
Deep-fat Frying - never fill a chip pan (or other deep-
fat fryer) more than one-third full of oil. If you do have
a chip pan fire:
1) call 999 immediately
2) never move the pan
3) turn off the heat but only if it is safe do so
4) never use water on a chip pan fire as this will create
a fireball.
Kitchen Fire - if you have a fire in the kitchen, do not
take risks - get everybody out of the house & call 999.
If a pan catches fire:
1) do not move it - it is likely to be very hot
2) turn off the heat but only if safe to do so & never
lean over a pan to reach the controls
3) if you have a fire blanket, put it over the pan
4) do not use a fire extinguisher on a pan of oil - the
force of the extinguisher can spread the fire
5) if you have managed to extinguish the fire, allow the
pan to cool completely.
Electrical Fire - if you have an electrical fire in the
kitchen, do not take risks - get everybody out of the
house & call 999 :
1) pull the plug out or switch off the power at the fuse
box - this may be enough to extinguish the fire immedi-
ately
2) smother the fire with a fire blanket or use a dry pow-
der or carbon dioxide extinguisher
30 remember: never use water on an electrical fire.

Safety & Induction
Detection of an object or a pan on the heating
zone
A small object - such as a fork, a spoon or even a ring
- placed on a hob cooking zone on its own is not
detected as a pan.
The security system acts in the same way when it
detects a pan which is not suitable for use on an
induction hob.
If you are fitted with a pacemaker or an active
implant
The functions of the hob comply with the applicable
standards on electromagnetic interference
Your induction cooking hob thus complies fully with
the statutory requirements (Directive 89/336/EEC). It
is designed to not interfere with the functioning of
other electrical equipment as long as these also comply
with the same regulations.
Your induction hob generates magnetic fields in its
immediate vicinity.
So that there is no interference between your cooking
hob and a pacemaker, the pacemaker must be
designed in compliance with the appropriate regula-
tions.
In this respect we can only guarantee the compliance
of our own product. You can ask the manufacturer or
your doctor about the compliance or any incompatibili-
ties of your pacemaker.

About the induction hob
The induction hob provides the most
energy efficeint hob technology avail-
able.
The induction system provides superior
heat up and cool down times for pans
- you get fast, precise, repeatable
power control.
As induction only heats up the pan,
there is no lost heat from the cooking
process, which in turn, limits the heat
generated in the kitchen.
Auto Power Tuning
Induction hobs have a unique power
tuning systems that automatically tunes
the power to the size of the pan base
this ensures energy isn’t wasted.

Power Boost
Rev up your hob with this feature, tem-
porarily boost the power to a cook
zone by a massive 60%.
The power boost is a function that can
be used to temporally boost the nor-
mal maximum power for a cook zone
by borrowing the available power
from a “paired zone”.
The Power Boost is activated by rotat-
ing the control knob clockwise past
power setting 9 and holding for a cou-
ple of seconds until lights up in the
display area. Power Boost is now acti-
vated.
The hob is split into “two paired
areas”.
LH Area (LHF and LHR Cook Zone)
and RH Area (RHF and RHR Cook
Zone).
Only one cook zone per area can be
boosted at anyone time.
Note The Power Boost function will
only operate for a limited time and
is also under thermal control. This
means the power boost will deac-
tivate automatically if the product
is hot, to protect the internal elec-
tronic components of the hob and
to prevent the cookware from over-
heating.

USING THE INDUCTION HOB
Keep Warm
The Keep Warm setting is found
between power setting 0 and 1.
Rotate the control knob clockwise until
the symbol appears on the display.
Pan detection
When a zone has been activated but
no pan has been placed on the cook
zone, this means the hob only uses
power when a suitable pan is placed
on the zone, this reduces the energy
used during the cooking process, i.e.
when you take your pan off the zone
the hob automatically reduces the
power, and only switches back on
when you replace the pan.
Note If the symbol does not disap-
pear when a pan is placed on the
zone it indicates that the pan is not
suitable for induction cooking.
Get a magnet to check the pans.
Pan Sizes

The safety temperature control of the
pans is only possible with quality flat
bottomed pans suitable for induction
cooking; Poor quality pans can create
air gaps between the glass and the
pan, which affects the accuracy of the
temperature control.
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.

Cookware for induction hobs
Cookware for induction cooking
zones must be made of metal and
have magnetic properties. The base
must also be the correct diameter.
How to estab ish the suitabi ity
of a pan
Check your pans with a magnet. If it
sticks and it’s the correct diameter, it’s
suitable for use with induction. Also
with pans that bear the symbol for suit-
ability for cooking with induction.
Note - when using certain pans, you
may get various noises from the pans.
This is due to the design of the pans
and does not effect the performance or
safety of the hob.

Care Of Pans
Looking after your pans
Stainless steel pans
Stainless steel pans should be cleaned with a soft cloth
and soapy water.
Appearance of white marks:
Cause: salt added to cold water.
Solution: add salt when the water boils.
Appearance of specks:
Cause: hard water.
Solution: boil diluted vinegar in the pan, then rinse and
dry.
Burned food stuck to the bottom of the pan:
Cause: temperature too high.
Solution: leave the pan to soak, or boil soapy water in it
(1 part washing-up liquid to 10 parts of water).
Cast iron pans
Cast iron pans should only be cleaned with a sponge or
nylon brush or a non-abrasive washing-up product.
Wipe with a little vinegar to regain the pan’s shine.
This also works for colour-enamelled cast iron. For
“matt black” items, use vinegar instead of bleach, then
oil carefully and wipe with kitchen roll.

Cooking On Induction Hobs
• Do not leave an empty pan on a heating zone.
• Pans should be placed in the centre of the heating
zone.
• Never heat up a sealed tin of food, as it may
explode.
• When you use a pan with a non-stick coating (eg;
Teflon) with little or no fat, heat the pan first for a
moment on setting 6or 7.
• We recommend that you do not put metal cooking
utensils, cutlery, knives or other metal objects on
the hob, as they could become hot if they are near
a cooking area which is in use.
• It is perfectly possible to use a pan with a smaller
diameter than that of the ring marked on the vitro-
ceramic glass; there will be no loss of energy as is
the case with conventional cookers (electricity and
gas).
• Nothing should ever be left lying on the hob.
• ift pans onto and off the hob, rather than sliding
them across the surface, to avoid marks and
scratches.
• As soon as the water boils, turn the cooking zones
down to a lower setting; this will help prevent pans
boiling over.
• As pans are on a smooth surface, they will move
easily if knocked accidentally; turning pan handles
so they are not overhanging the edge of the hob,
will help prevent this happening and keep them out
of the reach of children.
•
Be careful when cooking foods in salted water, or
foods containing large amounts of sugar or syrup , if
they are spilt onto hot areas of the hob they may
damage the glass.
Wipe any spillage as soon as possible.
Use pans which are large enough to avoid overflows
onto the vitro-ceramic glass hob surface.
Do not use the hotplate
surface for storage, as a
chopping board or work
surface. This may dam-
age the glass or cause it
to shatter without warning
due to small chips in the
glass.
!!!
Always switch off the
appliance after use. Do
not use the pan detector
(if fitted) as a method of
switching off the appli-
ance.
!!!

Cooking Tips
• Green vegetables (spinach, broccoli, sorrel, etc) or
vegetables rich in sulphur compounds (cabbage,
onions, etc) should be cooked without a lid in plenty
of boiling water; they will cook more quickly, and
will keep their green colour (some vegetables only),
vitamin and minerals content.
• Pasta, rice, cereals, etc absorb water during cooking
and increase in volume; cook them in plenty of boil-
ing salted water in order to dilute the starch they
contain.
• Make sure you use a sufficiently large pan to avoid
boiling over; the temperature setting may need to
be reduced to maintain a simmer.
• Mushrooms should be poached in a small quantity
of boiling water, with salt, butter and lemon juice.
• When liquids boil, reduce the control setting to main-
tain a simmer.
• Vegetables will cook quicker if chopped in smaller
pieces.
Aluminium foil
When cooking, never use kitchen foil and never put
items wrapped in kitchen foil straight onto the hob.
The aluminium kitchen foil may melt and do irreparable
damage to your appliance.
16

Care & Cleaning
Some cooking operations generate a considerable
amount of grease. This, combined with spillage, can
become a hazard if allowed to accumulate on the hob
through lack of cleaning. In extreme cases this may
amount to misuse of the appliance and could invalidate
your guarantee.
Do not use caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning powders,
coarse wire wool or any hard implements, as they will
damage the surfaces.
Do not use soap filled pads, metal wire, bleaches, bath
stain removers, or chemical oven cleaners; all these
product types will damage the ceramic glass.
All parts of the hob can be safely cleaned with a cloth
wrung out in hot soapy water.
The following recommendations will help to keep the
ceramic glass surface bright and clean:
• Use a dampened paper towel or clean damp cloth
to apply a small dab of cleaner conditioner to clean
each heating area.
• Use another paper towel or a clean dry soft cloth to
wipe dry, and then polish the whole glass surface.
• To remove any stubborn marks or heavy soiling, a
non scratching, mild cream cleaner may be used.
Alternatively, a “ceramic hob scraper” may be used.
Important: If you use a wet paper towel or clean damp
cloth to remove spillage from a warm heating area of the
hob, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Always allow the hob to
cool before cleaning.
Always: switch off the
electricity supply
before cleaning this
appliance.
Caution: Any cleaning
agent used incorrectly
may damage the hob.
!!!
Do not use steam clean-
ers on any part of this
appliance.

17

Care & Cleaning
Care and maintenance
Before using the hob for the first time, apply a thin coat-
ing of cleaner conditioner to the ceramic glass, and polish
the surface with a clean cloth.
The conditioner gives a protective covering to the
ceramic glass which not only makes the hob easier to
clean, but also ensures that you will gain maximum life
out of this product. Occasional use will help prevent the
build up of mineral deposits which can cause discoloura-
tion of the hob surface.
Discolouration of the hob
Do not use a dishcloth or dish sponge to wipe the hob
- this can leave a film of detergent on the surface which
will discolour the hob next time a heating area is used.
Clean cloths kept for the cleaning of the hob can be
used.
Do not use too much cleaner conditioner - only a thin
coating is required, any excess may burn on and dis-
colour the hob when it is next in use.
If persistent stains or marks remain on the ceramic
glass surface, it can be cleaned using a mild cream
cleaner or a ceramic hob scraper. This will also remove
any accumulated salts or minerals before they have an
opportunity to discolour the ceramic glass.
Wipe clean with a damp paper towel or clean damp
cloth and re-apply cleaner conditioner.

Troubleshooting
The hob produces a smell the first few times it is used
• Heat a pan full of water on each zone for half an hour.
ans make a noise during cooking!!
• This is caused by vibration due to the passage of energy from the hob to the pan.
On a high setting this is quite normal for certain types of saucepan. It will not damage
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.
The top of the hob is always warm (even when not in use)
• The electronic part of the hob, like any other electronic equipment (TV, transformer,
etc), becomes warm.
The fan keeps working for a few minutes after the hob has been turned off
• To cool down the electronics.
The hob won’t work. The indicators don't come on
• The electricity supply is not reaching the appliance (faulty supply or connection);
Check the fuses and the cut-out switch.
• The electronic circuit is not working properly;
Call Stoves Customer Support, or your supplier.
When it is turned on, the appliance cuts out
• The hob connection is faulty.
Check the connection and check that the connection complies with the appropriate
standards.
