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.

5
•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

Please note: If a power level is not set within approximately ten
seconds, the hob will switch o automatically.
After switching the mains supply on to the hob, or if the mains
supply is interrupted and then restored, the safety key lock may
be active. The safety key lock LED will be on to indicate this. Simply
press and hold the lock sensor for approximately two seconds to
deactivate the safety key lock and proceed to use the hob as normal.
To set the power level
•After switching the hob on, simply select the desired heat setting
using the or selectors for that zone. The power level
ranges from 1 (minimum) to 9 (maximum). The hob will then begin
heating. You can also press the selector first to jump straight
to power level 9.
To turn the power o to a zone
•To switch o a zone you can use the zone's selector to return
the heat setting to 0 or alternatively you can press both the
and selectors simultaneously for that zone. The cooking zone
indicator will display a '0' to confirm that the zone is now inactive.
•If switching o multiple zones, the above steps need to be taken
for each zone. When all the zones are at '0', the hob will switch o
automatically after approximately ten seconds.
•Alternatively, to switch o the hob immediately, touch and hold the
on/o sensor for approximately two seconds.
Please note: Any zones that are still hot to the touch should display
an " " provided the mains power supply is not interrupted.

8
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.
Dual zone function
The front left zone is equipped with a dual zone function that allows
you to extend the heating area for the zone. In normal use, the zone
functions with just the smaller inner ring until the dual zone function is
activated.
To activate the dual zone function
• Simply set a power level on the front left zone and then press the
dual zone sensor once to activate the outer zone. An LED
above the dual zone sensor will illuminate accordingly.

To deactivate the dual zone function
• Simply press the dual zone sensor . The LED indicator should
extinguish and the zone will return to operating on the inner zone
only.
Extendable zone function
The rear right zone is equipped with an extendable zone function that
allows you to extend the heating area for the zone. In normal use, the
zone functions with just the leftmost circular ring until the extendable
zone function is activated.
To activate the extendable zone function
• Simply set a power level on the rear right zone and then press
the extendable zone sensor once to activate the extended
zone. An LED above the extendable zone sensor will illuminate
accordingly.
To deactivate the extendable zone function
• Simply press the extendable zone sensor . The LED indicator
should extinguish and the zone will return to operating on the
leftmost part of the zone only.
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. This timer can only be used on one zone at
a time. Once the timer is set, the timer display will show the time

10
remaining. In normal use, the timer ending prompts the zone heating
to end as well.
To set the timer
•First, switch on the hob if necessary and set the zone you’d like
to be timed to the required power level. Next, touch either of the
timer sensors ( or ). This will activate the timer. A decimal
point (LED indicator) should appear next to the timer display.
•Finally, set the number of minutes on the timer using the timer
or sensors. A maximum of 99 minutes can be set.
•Once the time has elapsed the hob will emit an acoustic signal and
the zone will cease operation. To cancel the acoustic signal simply
press any sensor field.
To cancel the timer
• Simply touch the timed zone’s plus or minus sensor to activate
zone adjustment and then either press the timer plus and minus
sensors simultaneously ( and ) or use the timer minus
sensor to return the number of minutes to ‘0’. The timer will then
be cancelled.
Please note: Activating the timer with the timer minus sensor
will automatically take you to the 99 minute limit of the timer. This is
useful if you wish to set a large number of minutes (e.g. 90) but you
cannot go back to 0 without cycling down through all of the minutes
or turning the hob o and then on again.

11
Safety key lock
To help 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 may be activated automatically after the hob has
been switched o as an additional safety feature.
To activate the safety key lock
With the hob on, simply touch the safety key lock sensor for
approximately 2 seconds. The hob will beep and the safety key lock
LED should illuminate. If you switch the hob o whilst the lock is
active, it will remain active when you switch the hob back on.
To deactivate the safety key lock
Simply touch and hold the safety key lock sensor 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 or resumed after an interruption. Simply
deactivate the safety key lock as per the above step and proceed to
use the hob as normal.
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 hot. You should avoid touching

12
any zone whilst the hob is in use, whilst residual heat indicators are
displayed and even for some time afterwards.
Please note: In the event of a power cut or failure, the residual heat
indicators will not illuminate after the power supply is restored. Also,
when there is no power supply to the hob the residual heat indicators
will not work, yet in both instances the hob zone(s) may still be hot, so
extra care must be taken.
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.

Zone Size Minimum Pan Size (mm) Maximum Pan Size (mm)
Ø 140mm 130 160
Ø 145mm 135 165
Ø 170mm 160 190
Ø 180mm 170 200
Ø 210mm 200 230

Please note: When using the dual or extendable zone functions, we
recommend using pans that fit within the zone markings (i.e. oval hob-
proof casserole dishes, sizzle platters etc.). This allows you to use the
other zones more safely.
•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 help prevent any
scratches on the hob top.
•Always take care when handling pans and pots that have been
used on the hob as their handles may be hot to the touch. It is
recommended that you use suitable protection for your hands when
handling pots and pans.
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

14
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.
IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE: In the event of any breakage, crack
or cracking – even minimal – of the vitroceramic glass, immediately
disconnect your appliance to prevent a risk of electric shock and
contact CDA Customer Care. Details are on page 16.

Installation -
preparation
Unpacking the hob:
Take care not to lose, drop or
mishandle any parts.
Fitting position of the hob:
This appliance must be, when
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 (with partition
panel) - recommended ventilation
Installation above an oven unit - recommended

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 around cabinet units, and
in worktops, capable of withstanding temperatures of 100°C +.
•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.

If fitting a CDA cooker hood above the
hob:
If a CDA 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.
