Getting to Know Your
Cooktop
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Bellini appliance.
Before using your new cooktop, it is most
important that you read and follow the instructions
in this use and care booklet, even if you feel you
are familiar with this type of appliance.
Your attention is drawn particularly to the section
dealing with IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS.
Find a safe and convenient place to keep this
booklet handy for future reference.
This appliance has been designed to operate
from a standard domestic power outlet. It is not
intended for industrial or commercial use.
How to Save Energy
Using energy in a responsible way not only saves
money but also helps the environment. So let’s
save energy! And this is how you can do it:
• Use proper pans for cooking. Pans with thick,
flat bases can save up to 1/3 on electric
energy. Remember to cover pans if possible
otherwise you will use four times as much
energy!
• Match the size of the saucepan to the surface
of the heating plates. A saucepan should
never be smaller than a heating plate.
• Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched
pot never boils!).
• Do not install the cooktop in the direct vicinity
of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise energy
consumption increases unnecessarily.

7
Place the clamp (B) over the holes that match
the size of the screws. There are one set of
screw holes in each corner of the cooktop.
Slightly tighten a screw (C) through the
clamp (B) so that the clamp is attached to the
cooktop, but so that you can still adjust the
position of it.
• Carefully turn the cooktop back over and then
gently lower it into the aperture hole that you
have cut out.
• On the underneath of the cooktop, adjust the
clamps into a position that is suitable for your
worktop. Then fully tighten the screws (C) to
secure the cooktop into position.
Installing the appliance
CAUTION: The surface temperature exceeds
95 ºC. To avoid a hazard, underbench access
must be restricted.
• Cut a hole in the worktop that corresponds
with the drawings shown above.
• IMPORTANT: You must have a gap of at
least 25 mm between the underneath of the
appliance and any surface that is below it.
• Carefully turn the cooktop upside down and
place it on a cushioned mat.
• Apply the sealing strip provided around the
edge of the appliance.
• The protective covering must be removed from
both sides.
• Do not leave a gap in the sealing agent or
overlap the thickness.
• IMPORTANT: Do not use a silicon sealant to
seal the appliance against the aperture. This
will make it difficult to remove the hob from the
aperture in future, particularly if it needs to be
serviced.

Plate layout
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the cooktop
and hotplates. (See Cleaning and maintenance
section).
• You should switch on one hotplate 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.
Control knobs
• All operations are performed by means of the
4 control knobs that can be found on the right
hand side of the cooktop.
• The control knobs can be turned either
clockwise or anti-clockwise to select a heating
level. The numbers around the outside of each
control knob indicates the power level that you
have set the hotplate to.
• A marking to the bottom of each control knob,
indicates which hotplate it controls.
Turning on a hotplate and setting a
power level
• Turn the control knob of the hotplate that you
wish to cook on, clockwise or anticlockwise
until it reaches the power level that you desire.
• Each hotplate can be adjusted between 1 and
6, one being the coolest hotplate setting and
six being the hottest hotplate setting.
• When you have finished cooking, make sure
that you turn the control knob anti-clockwise,
to the 0 position.

Cooktop guidelines
• The first few times the cooktop is used, it may
give off an acrid, burning smell. This smell will
disappear completely with repeated use.
• The hotplates are fitted with cooking areas of
different diameter and power.
• The positions where the heat will radiate
from are clearly marked on the cooktop. The
saucepans must be positioned exactly on
these hotplates for efficient heating to occur.
Pans should have the same diameter as the
hotplate that they are being used on.
• You should not use saucepans with rough
bottoms, as this can scratch the solid plates.
• Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the
saucepans are clean and dry.
• When cold, the bottom of the pans should be
slightly concave, as they expand when hot and
lie flat on the surface of the hotplate. This will
allow the heat to transfer more easily.
• Cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a
lower heat.
• Food or liquid that has high sugar content may
damage the cooktop if it comes into contact
with the hotplates. Any spillages should be
wiped up immediately, however this may
not prevent the hotplates from becoming
damaged.
• DO NOT USE THE HOTPLATE IF THE
SURFACE BECOMES BROKEN OR
CRACKED.
Caution!
Large pots MUST NOT be placed over two or
more hotplates as damage will more than likely
occur.
Do not leave pans unattended on a hotplate.
Ensure the hotplates are clean. A soiled hotplate
does not transfer all the heat.
Protect the hotplate against corrosion.
Switch off the hotplate before a pan is removed.
Cleaning Your Cooktop
Allow the cooktop to cool before cleaning.
• The hotplates should be cleaned after every
use to avoid build up of food.
• If a major spillage occurs, wipe clean as soon
as possible with a damp cloth.
• Do not immerse in water.
• DO NOT use spray-on or other cleaners as
they may cause electrical damage. DO NOT
use sharp utensils to clean.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage
the cooktop surface; you should clean it using
water and a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst
the hotplates are still warm, you should take care
not to burn yourself.
After each use
• Wipe the appliance over with a damp cloth and
a little washing up liquid.
• Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with
a clean cloth.
Regular Inspections
Besides keeping the cooktop clean, you should:
• Carry out periodical maintenance.
Caution!
All repairs and regulatory activities should be
carried out by the appropriate service
centre or by an appropriately authorised fitter.
• Before using your electric cooktop, check each
time that the base of the saucepan and the
cooking zone are clean and dry.
• To save on energy consumption, always
use pans with lids. When the boiling point is
reached, it is best to turn the knob to the LOW
position.
• Do not allow vinegar, coffee, milk, salted
water, lemon or tomato juice to remain in
contact with the enamelled surface of your
cooktop for long periods of time.

11
• Never leave the hot plates on without pans on
them or with empty pans. Switch on the hot
plates after having set the pan in place.
• Switch off the heating element before
removing the pan, Once switched off, the
plates will remain warm for a while.
• Avoid using oversized pans that may radiate
excessive heat and cause damage to
surrounding surfaces.
Cleaning Hints
To keep your electric cooktop in good condition,
always allow it to cool down before attempting to
clean.
Stainless steel surface
The stainless steel surface are to be cleaned
only with a damp cloth and with a purpose made
product, such as Steel Power from Hillmark, or a
few drops of olive oil on a damp cloth.
Hot Plates
Weekly cleaning of frequently used hot plates is
recommended to maintain their surface finish.
• Use a small amount of concentrated house
hold detergent and a nylon scourer to remove
all baked on grime. Wipe off with a damp
cloth and dry with about 10 seconds of high
temperature heat.
• Apply a hot plate protector to the cleaned hot
plates such as Solid Hotplate Protector from
Hillmark or lightly oil with olive oil while plate is
still warm.
• The chrome element rings around the hot
plates will change colour over time due the
effect of the heat on the metal. The colour
changes are dependant on the temperature
levels and is common to all electric cooktops.
