This appliance has been manufactured to the strictest standards and
complies with all applicable legislation, including Electrical safety
(LVD) 2014/35/EU and Electromagnetic interference compatibility

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.
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 approximately
one hour. Please see page 14 for more information.
•The safety key lock may be active. Simply press and hold the
safety key lock sensor (2) for three seconds to deactivate it.

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 five cooking
zone indicators will show ‘0’.
Please note: If a power level is not set within 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 activated.
The safety key lock LED will be on to indicate this. Simply press and
hold the safety key lock sensor (2) for approximately two seconds to
deactivate the satey key lock and proceed to use the hob as normal.
The safety key lock also activates after 60 seconds if the appliance
if switched o via the 'On/o sensor' (1). This is to help to prevent
accidental use. Simply follow the same step as above to deactivate
the safety key lock.
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 '-'

8
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' (1) for approximately two seconds.
Please note: Any zones that are still hot to the touch will display an
" " 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.

Triple zone function
The front-left zone is equipped with a triple 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 triple zone function is
activated.
To activate the triple zone function
•Simply set a power level on the front-left zone and then press the
triple zone sensor (8) once to activate the middle zone and press it
again to also activate the outer zone. The LEDs above the triple
zone sensor (8) will illuminate accordingly (one for when the double
zone is active and two for when the triple zone is active).
To deactivate the triple zone function
•Simply press the triple zone sensor (8) for a third time. Both LEDs
either side of the triple zone sensor (8) should extinguish and the
zone will return to operating on the inner zone only.
Dual zone function
The central 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 lower circular ring until the dual zone function is
activated.
To activate the dual zone function
•Simply set a power level on the central zone and then press the
triple zone sensor (8) once to extend the zone. An LED above the
triple zone sensor (8) will illuminate to show you that the dual zone

10
is active.
To deactivate the dual zone function
•Simply press the triple zone sensor (8) for a second time. The LED
above the triple zone sensor (8) should extinguish and the zone will
return to operating on the circular zone only.
Auto-heat function
•Every zone is equipped with an auto-heat function, which reduces
the warming up time for the zone. To turn on the auto-heat function,
the zone in question must first be set to heat setting 0.
•Touch the '-' sensor for that zone once. The heat setting will be set
to '9'. The zone display will alternate between '9' and the letter 'A'.
•Next, adjust the zone to the desired heat setting between 1 and 8.
The decimal point next to the set power level will flash and then
remain solidly lit for a preset period of time before reducing the
power to the originally selected heat setting. The duration of each
auto-heat setting's limiter is shown in the table on the following
page.
• To disengage the auto-heat function simply touch both the '+'
sensor and the '-' sensor simultaneously for that zone. The
cooking zone indicator should revert to 0. Alternatively, raise the
power level by one level and then lower it by one.
A table showing the operating time limit of the auto-heat function for
each power level is shown on the following page.
