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 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.
•Never use the hob top for storage.
•Pan handles should never stand out beyond the edge of
the worktop. This will ensure children cannot reach them.

Using the Touch Controls
The controls respond to touch, so you
don’t need to apply any pressure.
Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
You will hear a beep each time a touch is
registered.
Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is
nothing (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of
water may make the controls difficult to operate.

7
To Switch Heating Zones On
When the mains power supply is switched on, the buzzer beeps
once and all the indicators light up for 1 second, then go out. This
indicates that the ceramic hob has entered standby mode.
Touch the ON/OFF control, all the indicators show “-“.
Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that you wish to use
(see “Efficient Use of Your Hob” section for selection of suitable
pans).
Ensure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone
are clean and dry.
Touch the heating zone selection control that corresponds to the
zone where the pan is placed (for example back right ).
Select a heat setting by touching the “+” or “-“ controls. You may
select any power level from “1” to “9”.
If you don’t choose a heat setting within approx. 1 minute, the
ceramic hob will automatically switch off.
You can change the heat setting at any time during cooking.
By holding down either of these controls, the power level will
adjust up or down.

next one you want to use, then select the power level for that (as
above).

8
To Switch Heating Zones Off
Touch the heating zone selection control that corresponds to the
zone you wish to switch off (for example back right ).
Turn the cooking zone off by using the “+” or “-“ controls to scroll
down to “ 0 “.
Alternatively, the zone may be switched off by touching the “+”
and “-“ controls together.
To switch all heating zones off at once it is only necessary to
touch the ON/OFF control.
Hot Hob Warning Indicators
When a heating zone is hot, the indicator
adjacent to that zone’s corresponding
selection control will show “H”
The hot hob warning indicators remain lit
(even when the hob is switched off to standby mode) until the
cooking zones cool sufficiently to touch.
Do not touch the glass plate until the indicator goes out.
Locking the Controls
You can lock the controls to prevent unintended use (for example
children accidentally turning the cooking zones on).
When the controls are locked, all the controls except the ON/OFF
control are disabled.

while the controls are locked, it will be necessary to unlock the
hob using the process above BEFORE the hob is next switched
on.
Over-Temperature Protection
The ceramic hob is fitted with a sensor to monitor the temperature
inside the hob. When an excessive temperature is recorded, the
ceramic hob will stop operation automatically.
Auto-Shutdown
The ceramic hob is fitted with an auto-shutdown safety feature.
If a cooking zone is accidentally left switched on for a long period
it will automatically switch off after a default shutdown time.

Using the Timer
You can use the timer in two different ways:
•You can use it as a minute minder. In this case, the timer
will not turn any cooking zone off when the set time is up.
•You can set it to turn one or more cooking zone(s) off after
the set time.
You can set the timer for up to 99 minutes.
Using the Timer as a Minute Minder
Make sure the ceramic hob is switched on.
Note: you can use the minute minder even if you’re not using any
cooking zones.
Touch the timer control , the timer indicator shows “--”
Adjust the time setting by touching the “+” or “-“ controls. The
minute minder indicator will start flashing and will show in the
timer display.
Touch the “+” or “-“ control of the timer once to increase or
decrease by 1 minute.
Touch and hold the “+” or “-“ control of the timer to decrease or
increase in 10 minute increments.
If the setting time exceeds 99 minutes the timer will automatically
return to 0 minutes.
When the timer is set, it will begin to count down immediately. The
display will show the remaining time.
When the set time is reached the buzzer beeps for up to 30

11
seconds and the timer indicator shows “- - “.
To cancel the beep touch either the “+” or “-“ control.
To cancel the timer (at any point) touch the “+” and “-“ controls
together, the timer is cancelled, and ”--“ will show in the minute
display.

Touch the “+” or “-“ control of the timer once to increase or
decrease by 1 minute.
Touch and hold the “+” or “-“ control of the timer to decrease or
increase in 10 minute increments.
If the setting time exceeds 99 minutes, the timer will automatically
return to 0 minutes.
Note:The red dot next to power
level indicator will illuminate,
indicating that zone is selected.
When the timer is set, it will begin to count down immediately. The
display will show the remaining time.
To cancel the timer (at any point) touch the “+” and “-“ controls
together, the timer is cancelled, and ”--“ will show in the minute
display.

12
When the cooking time is reached, the corresponding cooking
zone will switch off automatically and the beeper will sound an
individual beep.
Setting the Timer to Turn More Than One Cooking Zone Off
If the timer is set to turn off more than one heating zone, the timer
indicator will show the lowest time (e.g. if zone “1” is set to 10
minutes and zone “2” is set to 5 minutes, the timer indicator
shows 5 minutes).
Note:The red dot next to the power level indicator with the
shortest running time will flash.
When the cooking time is reached, the corresponding cooking
zone will switch off automatically and the beeper will sound an
individual beep.

13
Efficient Use of Your Hob
Before using your hob for the first time, switch the zones on for a
FEW SECONDS to burn off any grease left over from the
manufacturing process.
The ceramic glass retains heat, so to make best use of the
residual heat, switch off the zone five minutes prior to the end of
cooking.
To reduce the cooking time, the zone can be set to the maximum
setting at the beginning of cooking, and then reduced during
cooking time.
The hob is equipped with zones of different sizes, designed to
accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results,
only use pans with flat bottoms and choose an appropriate zone
depending on the size of the pan. The most efficient use of the
hob is shown below, where the pan and zone are correctly
chosen.
Use pan lids where possible to minimise the energy usage of your
appliance.
Zone Size Minimum Pan Size (mm) Maximum Pan Size (mm)
165mm 145 185
200mm 180 220
It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a

14
suitable material and have the correct type of base. The base
should be flat and smooth, as any rough part on the pan base
could scratch the ceramic hob top.
Choose pans which are between the sizes recommended in the
table above, and with bases that are as non-reflective as possible,
e.g. dull and dark.
Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be
used.

15
Care and Maintenance
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
undertaking any cleaning or maintenance. 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.
