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.

4
•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 each zone’s
use. 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 two seconds. The hob will beep and all four cooking
zone indicators will show “0”.
Please note: When switching the hob on after the appliance has
been switched o at the mains, the cooking zone indicators may
show, an " " and the safety key lock may 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.
The indicators should disappear with each zone's usage (but will show
after use if a zone is still hot to the touch).
To activate a zone and set a power level
•Simply switch the hob on and select the desired zone using the
relevant cooking zone sensor (3). Then, use the plus or minus
setting selectors to set the desired power level. The standard
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 plus and minus setting selectors simultaneously.
Alternatively, you can use the minus setting selector (5) to return the
power level to 0. The cooking zone indicator will display a "0" to
confirm that the zone is now inactive.

7
• If switching o multiple zones, the above step needs to be taken
for each zone. When all 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 two seconds.
Please note: Any zones that are still hot to the touch will display an
" " or " " 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
All zones are equipped with an auto-heat function, which reduces the
warming up time for the zone. Each power level has a limited time
for which the auto-heat function can be used. A table showing these
times is shown at the bottom of this page.
To activate the auto-heat function on a zone
•Switch the hob on, if not already so, and touch the relevant cooking
zone sensor. Next, touch the minus setting selector (5) to set the
power level to 9. Then, touch the plus setting selector (4) and the
cooking zone indicator should alternate between 9 and the letter
'A'. Finally, press and hold the minus setting selector (5) to set the
desired auto-heat power level.
Please note: You can use the plus setting selector (4) to adjust the
power level if you go too low but pressing the minus setting selector
a second time will cancel the auto-heat function and you will have to
start again.
To deactivate the auto-heat function
• Simply touch the desired zone's minus setting selector (6). The
display will return the preset power level.

Please note: The auto-heat function is not compatible with power
level 9 or the keep warm function.
Keep Warm Function
Each zone is equipped with a keep warm function that is designed to
keep food at a stable temperature. This allows the serving of food to
be delayed and also for the melting of butter or chocolate. The "Keep
warm" function is available between "0" and "1" heat settings and is
shown on a cooking zone indicator as " ".
To activate the keep warm function
• Switch the hob on if necessary and then simply touch the desired
cooking zone sensor (3) and set the power level to 1 using the plus
setting selector (4) and then use the minus setting selector (5) to set
the power level to " ".
• Due to the risk of the spread of bacteria it is not advisable to keep
food warm for too long. We recommend the keep warm function’s
use is limited to two hours in order to keep food as safe as possible.
To deactivate the keep warm function
• Touch the desired cooking zone sensor, unless adjustment is
already active (indicated by a decimal point next to the zone
indicator's power level), and then use the plus or minus setting
selectors to set the power to "0" or a higher heat setting if required.

10
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
With the hob switched on, simply touch the safety key lock sensor (2)
for approximately 2 seconds. The hob will beep and the safety key
lock LED should illuminate. With either one or more zones actively
heating the lock can still be activated. Simply press and hold the
safety key lock sensor (2) for approximately 2 seconds. The hob will
beep and the safety key lock LED should illuminate.
To deactivate the safety key lock
Simply touch and hold the safety key lock sensor (2) for approximately
2 seconds. The hob will beep and the safety key lock LED should
extinguish.
Please note: The safety key lock may activate when the power supply
is activated for the first time. The safety key lock sensor LED will flash
when you try to operate the hob if so. Simply deactivate the safety key
lock as per the above step and proceed to use the hob as normal.

11
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. An “ ” will show in a
zone’s indicator if the relevant zone is between 45°c and 60°c. An
“ ” will show if the relevant zone is 60°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.
Residual heat indicators may show on one or more zone when the
hob is activated for the first time. This is not indicative of a fault and
they should disappear after the zone’s use (and once the zone has
cooled down).

12
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.
A cleaning guide is available on page 14.

Fitting the Hob
Unpacking the hob:
Take care not to lose, drop or
mishandle any parts.
Fitting position of the hob:
This appliance must be installed a
minimum of 50mm from any back
wall and a minimum of 55mm away
from any adjacent vertical surfaces,
e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. These
dimensions are shown in Fig.8 on
page 19. If installing the hob in a
cupboard unit, then we recommend
the use of a partition panel.
Ventilation requirements:
This appliance must be installed
to allow air to flow freely to the air
intake and from the air outlet. An
air gap of 25mm is recommended
immediately below the hob.
Failure to allow sucient ventilation
could cause problems with
operation or damage to the hob
and constitutes incorrect installation,
which is not covered by the product’s
warranty (Figs. 4 and 5). Fig.5
Installation above a cupboard unit
Installation above an oven unit

18
Wall furniture requirements:
The minimum height of any cabinet immediately above the hob is
900mm. The minimum height of any adjacent units (including light
pelmets) is 400mm, unless they are manufactured from a material
resistant to fire (steel, for example).
Important notes:
•Do not position this appliance above a refrigeration unit. The heat
generated may cause the refrigeration unit to fail.
•This appliance is designed to be installed into cabinet units capable
of withstanding temperatures of 65°C or greater above ambient
temperature.
•Never place perishable foods, cleaning products or flammable items
in the cupboard below the appliance.
•If the hob is to be located above a working drawer, we recommend
that the drawer is not used for storing soft items, for example
dusters or towels; this is to minimise the risk of the cooling system
air intakes being obstructed.
Fig.6
400mm
600mm
If fitting a cooker hood above the hob:
If a cooker hood is to be installed
above the hob, the height of the hood
above the hob must be at least 600mm
(650mm is recommended) (Fig.6). If
the instructions supplied with the hood
dictate that the hood must be installed
at a height greater than 600mm,
then that height is the minimum
required.
