Getting to Know Your
Hob
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Bellini Hob.
Before using your new Cooker, 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.
• Ensure heating plates and pan bases are
clean. Soils can prevent heat transfer-and
repeatedly burnt -on spillages can often only
be removed by products which cause damage
to the environment.
• Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched
pot never boils!).
• Do not install the cooker in the direct vicinity
of refrigerators/freezers. Otherwise energy
consumption increases unnecessarily.
Installation
Positioning
This appliance must be correctly installed by a
suitably qualified person,
To avoid damaging your appliance.
• Cast iron and cast aluminium cookware with
damaged bases may scratch the hob surface if
they are dragged across it.
• Pans should be lifted on and off the hob
surface and not dragged.
• Cooking zones should not be switched on
without cookware placed on it. Also the
cookware should not be empty.
The adjacent furniture must be able
to withstand a minimum temperature
rise of 100°C above the ambient
temperature of the room it is located
in, during periods of use.
This appliance is to be built into a kitchen unit
(depending on size) or 600 mm worktop, providing
the following minimum distances are allowed:
• 700 mm between the hob surface and the
underside of any horizontal surface above it.
• 50 mm clearance around the appliance and
between the hob surface and any combustible
materials.

Troubleshooting Guide
Problems Possible Cause and
solve
The cooking
zones are not
functioning or
will not switch
on.
Check that the mains
electrical supply to the
appliance is correct
and working. Check the
mains fuse.
A humming
sound is heard
when a cooking
zone is selected.
This is normal; the
sound will disappear
when the zone heats up
The cooking
zones have
become
discoloured
This maybe caused
by burnt on remnants
of food. This will not
affect the working of the
appliance. However you
should make sure that
the cleaning instructions
are being followed
regularly.
Only two of the
zones on my hob
are working
You should recheck
that the terminal screws
are all fully tightened

Hob guidelines
• The first few times the hob top is used, it may
give off an acrid, burning smell. This smell will
disappear completely with repeated use.
• The 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 diameter as the cooking
zone 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 hob. This will allow
the heat to transfer more easily.
• The 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.
• If 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.
• Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit
cooking at a lower heat.
• Food or liquid that has high sugar content may
damage the hob top if it comes into contact
with the hob surface. Any spillages should
be wiped up immediately, however this may
not prevent the hob surface from becoming
damaged.
• When doing this burn off process, an
appropriately sized saucepan containing
cold water should be placed on the zone in
question.
• Do not burn off more than one zone at once.
Using the Hob
• The symbols on the Control Panel fascias
show which hotplate the control system
operates. A pilot light indicates when a
hotplate is switched on.
• Every cooking zone has a corresponding
Residual Heat Indicator. The neon will light
up when the corresponding cooking zone
becomes hot, and will remain it until the
temperature on the cooking zone has dropped
below 50°C.
• All operations are performed by means of the
4 control knobs that can be found on the hob
top.
• 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 zone to.
• A marking to the bottom of each control knob
indicates which zone that it controls.
Turning on a zone and setting a power
level
• Turn the control knob of the zone that you wish
to cook on, clockwise or anticlockwise until it
reaches the power level that you desire.
• The cooking zone can be adjusted between
1 and 9 or Max ( double circuit),1 being the
coolest zone setting and 9 or Max ( double
circuit)being the hottest zone setting
• When you have finished cooking, make sure
that you turn the control knob anti-clockwise,
to the 0 position.

10
Cleaning Your Hob
Disconnect the hob from the power outlet. Allow to
cool before cleaning.
• The hob accessories should be cleaned after
every use to avoid buildup of food, debris and
grease from baking.
• If a major spillage occurs inside the
compartment, wipe clean as soon as possible
with a damp cloth remembering to disconnect
from the power source first.
• 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.
• Remove heavy splatters after use with a
nylon or polyester mesh pad, sponge or cloth
dampened with warm water. Blot dry with
paper towel or a soft, dry cloth.
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
• 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.
• If the hob top is heavily soiled then if the hob
surface is made from stainless steel, then
a suitable stainless steel cleaner should be
used.
• IMPORTANT: If a stainless steel cleaner is
not used regularly, then it is possible for the
surface of the hob to change colour over a
period of time.
Using a specialist hob cleaner
It is possible to purchase specialist ceramic hob
cleaner/conditioner.
You should follow the instructions given by
the manufacturer of the specialist ceramic hob
cleaner. You should ensure that it is suitable for
use on your appliance.
Maintaining the solid plates
• If something is spilt onto the plate itself, then it
can be removed using a soft brush, plastic or
nylon scourer and warm water.
Regular inspections
Besides keeping the hob clean, you should:
• Carry out periodic inspections of the control
elements and cooking units of the hob. After
the guarantee has expired you should have a
technical inspection of the cooker carried out
at a service centre at least once every two
years.
Caution!
All repairs and regulatory activities should be
carried out by the appropriate service
centre or by an appropriately authorized fitter.
