enables the constituent materials to be recovered, saving both energy
and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household
appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out

Please note:
•Ceramic hobs become hot and remain hot during and immediately
after use. Do not touch the hob until it has been allowed to cool.
•Keep children away from the appliance when in use.
•Never use the hob top for storage.
•Pan handles should never stand out beyond the edge of the
worktop. This will help to avoid children reaching them.
•Do not lean over the hob when it is in use.
•Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
•Ensure the base of the saucepan is clean and dry before placing it
on the hob.
•Avoid hard shocks from cookware – the vitroceramic glass surface
is highly resistant but not unbreakable.

•Do not place hot lids flat on the hob top. A “suction” eect could
cause damage to the hob.
•Do not drag cookware across the hob top: in the long term, this
could cause damage to the hob.
•Do not store cleaning or flammable products in the unit below the
hob.
•Always use appropriate cookware.
•Do not cook unopened tins of food directly on the hob.
•Never put cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface
when the hob is hot. These materials could melt and cause
damage to the hob.
•This hob (Class 3) has been designed for use only as a cooking
appliance. Any other use should be considered incorrect and
therefore dangerous.
Important
•Do not use the hob if the glass surface is cracked or damaged to
prevent the risk of electric shock. Disconnect it from the power
supply.
•Ensure that the power cable of a connected electrical appliance
near the hob is not in contact with the cooking zones.
Please note: When connecting the hob to the power and switching
it on for the first time the cooking zone displays may show the
letter " ". This is not a fault and the letter " " should disappear after
approximately one hour. Please see page 11 for more information.

Using Your Hob
To switch the hob on
•To switch the power on, touch and hold the "On/o sensor" (1) for
approximately one second. The hob will beep and both cooking
zone indicators (5) will show “0”.
Please note: When switching the hob on after the appliance has
been switched o at the mains, the front zone's display may show, in
series, 4 0 3 and then the safety key lock will activate. This is normal.
Simply press and hold the safety key lock sensor for approximately 2
seconds to disengage the lock and continue with normal operation.
To activate a zone and set a power level
•Simply switch the hob on and use the zone plus or minus setting
selectors to set the desired power level. The power levels range
from 1 (minimum) to 9 (maximum). The hob will then begin heating.
Please note: If a power level is not set within ten seconds of switching
the hob on, the hob will switch o automatically.
To deactivate a zone
•Simply touch the zone's plus and minus setting selectors
simultaneously. Alternatively, you can use the zone minus setting
selector (6) to return the power level to 0. The cooking zone
indicator will display a "0" to confirm that the zone is now inactive.
• If switching o both zones, the above step needs to be taken
for each zone. When both the zones are at "0", the hob will switch
o automatically after approximately ten seconds.

•To switch o the hob immediately, touch and hold the "On/o
sensor" (1) for approximately one second.
Please note: Any zones that are still hot to the touch will display an
" " provided the mains power supply is not interrupted.
Operating time limiter
Each zone has an operating time limiter to increase overall eciency
and to prevent the hob from being left on indefinitely. If a zone's heat
setting is not changed for a specific duration then the associated zone
is automatically switched o and residual heat indicator activated.
Zones can still be used as normal in accordance with the operating
instructions. The operating time limiter is set according to the last
selected heat setting. The maximum operating times for each setting
can be found below.

Auto-heat Function
Both zones are equipped with an auto-heat function, which reduces
the warming up time for the zone.
To activate the auto-heat function on a zone
•Switch the hob on, if not already so, and touch the zone's minus
setting selector (6). Then, touch the zone's plus setting selector (4)
and then set the desired power level using the zone's minus setting
selector (6). A decimal point will appear next to the power level to
confirm that the auto-heat function is active.
To deactivate the auto-heat function
• Simply touch the desired zone's minus setting selector (6). The
decimal point next to the power level should display to confirm that
the auto-heat function has been deactivated.
Each power level has a limited time for which the auto-heat function
can be used. A table showing these times is shown below.
Please note: The auto-heat function is not compatible with power
level 9.

Timer
The hob is equipped with a timer that allows a finish time to be set for
the end of cooking on any zone, between a minimum of 1 minute and
a maximum of 99 minutes. The timer can only be used on one zone
at a time. Once the timer is set, the timer display will show the time
remaining. In normal use, the timer ending prompts the zone heating
to end as well.
Please note: At the end of the timer, the selected zone’s power
will switch o and the timer display will flash. The hob will beep for
approximately two minutes. To switch o the beep and the flashing
display, touch any key.
To set the timer
•First switch on the hob if necessary and touch either the timer plus
setting selector (2) or the timer minus setting selector (3).
•With the timer display pulsating, set the desired zone’s power level.
•Next, touch the timer plus setting selector (2) and use this (and the
timer minus setting selector if necessary) to set the number of
minutes.
•The selection will confirm and the time will begin counting down.
The relevant cooking zone indicator (5) will alternate between the
set power level and the letter ‘t’.
•If no time is set within approximately five seconds, the timer
display (8) will become inactive and the zone will continue
cooking at the set power level.
Please note: The timer duration can be adjusted at any time during

10
the countdown. Simply touch the timer plus or minus setting selectors
and re-adjust to the desired number of minutes.
To cancel the timer
•SImply touch the timer plus setting selector (2) and the timer minus
setting selector (3) simultaneously. The timer display will revert to
displaying ‘00’ and after approximately 5 seconds the display will
extinguish.
Safety Key Lock
To prevent accidental use, the hob has a safety key lock which
switches controls o temporarily or completely. The safety key lock
can be activated when the hob is turned on but not when power has
been switched o at, or the appliance disconnected from, the mains.
The safety key lock is automatically activated after mains power
supply has been restored.
To activate the safety key lock
If the hob is o, then simply touch the safety key lock sensor (7) for
approximately 2 seconds. The hob will beep and the safety key lock
LED should illuminate. If the hob is on, then at least one zone needs
to have a power level set for the safety key lock to work. With either
one or both zones actively heating, press and hold the safety key lock
sensor (7) for approximately 2 seconds. The hob will beep and the
safety key lock LED should illuminate.
