User Information
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 help ensure children cannot reach them.
• Do not use pans with rough bases (e.g. cast iron) as these may
scratch the hob surface.
• Do not switch on the zones without cookware in place.
• 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 to prevent damage to the surface of the hob.
• After use, please ensure that the control knobs are in the ‘O”
position.
• This hob (Class 3) has been designed for use only as a cooking
appliance. Any other use (e.g. heating rooms) should be
considered incorrect and therefore dangerous.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by any means of an
external timer or separate remote-control system.
Important
• Do not use the hob if the glass surface is cracked or damaged, to
prevent risk of electric shock. Disconnect it from the power supply.

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 dicult to operate.

How to Use the Hob
The ceramic surface of the hob allows fast transmission of heat
vertically from the heating elements under the glass to the pans on
the hob top.
The heat does not spread horizontally, so the hob top remains
relatively cool only a few centimetres from the zone in use.
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/O” control ; all the indicators show “-“.
(If you don’t switch a heating zone or the minute minder on within
approx. 1 minute, the ceramic hob will automatically switch o.)
Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that you wish to use (see
“Ecient 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 control” for the zone required, to activate it.
Note: The digital display showing power level is also the “Heating
zone control”.
While the “Heating zone control” is still flashing, use the single “Slider

9
control” to control the power level, by touching anywhere along its
length.
You can change the heat setting at any time during cooking.
To use more than one heating zone, just repeat a similar procedure for
each zone you wish to use (as above).
To switch heating zones o
Activate the “Heating zone control” for the zone you want to turn o
by touching the relevant “Heating zone control” key. Use the “Slider
control” to scroll down to “0“.
To switch all heating zones o at once it is only necessary to touch the
“On/O” control .
Using the dual zone function
This function is only applicable to the back right and centre cooking
zones.
You can use either just the central area, or the enlarged areas of
either of these zones.
Touch the “Heating zone control“ corresponding to either the back
right or centre zone to activate it.
Select a heat setting by using the “Slider control” as above. You may
select any power level from “1” to “9”. The centre area will heat up

10
and the zone indicator will show the heat level selected.
While the “Heating zone control” is still flashing, touch the “Dual zone”
key once and this will switch to both areas heating up. While in
this setting the zone indicator will flash between the power setting
and .
Touch the “Dual zone” key again, while the “Heating zone control”
is still flashing, and this will switch back to just the central area heating
up.
Hot hob warning indicators
When a heating zone is hot, the indicator corresponding to that zone
will show “H”
The hot hob warning indicators remain lit (even when the hob is
switched o to standby mode) until the cooking zones cool suciently
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/O”
control are disabled.
