IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE
PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EU DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU.
At the end of its working life, the product must be taken to a special
local authority waste collection centre or to a dealer providing
appliance recycling services.
Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health. It also
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
wheeled dustbin.
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.

Using Your Hob
To switch the hob on
•Set the control knob for the desired zone to the required
temperature setting. A guide to heat levels and ideal cooking
processes is on page 6. The power indicator (E) will illuminate to
indicate the zone's usage.
To deactivate a zone and/or switch the hob o
•Simply set the control knob(s) to the "0" position. Once all control
knobs are at this position the hob will be o.
• If switching o multiple zones, the above step needs to be taken
for each zone.
Please note: Any zones that are still hot to the touch (approximately
50°C or above) will be shown by their respective residual heat
indicator (F).

8
Residual Heat Indicators
The hob is equipped with residual heat indicators to warn when any of
the zones are still hot to the touch after use. A residual heat indicator
will illuminate to show if the relevant zone is approximately 50°c
or above. You should avoid touching any zone whilst the hob is in use
or whilst either residual heat indicator is displayed.
Please note: In the event of a power cut or failure, the residual heat
indicators will illuminate after the power supply is restored. When
there is no power supply to the hob however the residual heat
indicators will not work, yet the hob zone(s) may still be hot, so extra
care must be taken.
The residual heat indicators’ layout matches that of the hob zones, as
below:
Rear left Rear right

Ecient Use of Your Hob
The hob is equipped with zones designed to accommodate most
shapes and sizes of pan. For best results, only use pans with flat
bottoms. The most ecient use of the hob is shown below, where the
pan and zone are correctly chosen. Use pan lids where possible to
minimize the energy usage of your appliance.
Locating a pan in the centre of the zone markings will ensure optimum
eciency.
It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a suitable
material and have the correct type of base. The base of the pan and
the hob top must be clean before use to prevent any scratches on the
hob top.
Please note: Extra care should be taken if cast iron pans are used as
these have coarse bases which may damage the hob top.

Care and Maintenance
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
undertaking any cleaning or maintenance.
Important:
•Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
•You should use a non-abrasive cleaner to clean the hob top. Any
abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could
erase the control panel markings.
•Sugar and starch can cause permanent damage to the surface of
the hob. Wipe away any spillages immediately but be careful given
that the hob top will be hot during and after usage.
•Avoid letting pans boil over where possible to ensure that the need
for cleaning is minimal.
•Always use a soft sponge or cloth where possible. Utensils such as
scouring sponges and some brushes could cause scratches to the
hob top.
Please note: A cleaning guide is available on page 11. When following
the cleaning guide, please ensure any water or fluids do not encroach
upon the control knobs as this may damage the hob.
