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.

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.
Please note:
The heating elements are equipped
with a temperature limiter that will
switch the element o to prevent
damage to the hob.
The temperature limiter may also operate when incorrect pans
are used or pans are poorly positioned. This will aect cooking
performance.
The temperature limiter can be seen in the zone as the straight line
out from the centre of the element. This is not a fault with the hob.
To switch the hob on:
Touch and hold until the zone displays show “0”.
Please note:
If a zone is not selected or the timer set within approximately 10
seconds, the hob will automatically switch o.

to 9 (maximum). The power level selected will show on the
zone display.
OR: Touch and hold to select the power level from 9 to 1. The

childlock.
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 cooking.
An “H” will show in the relevant zone display after cooking until the
zone is at a safe temperature to touch.
Please note:
You should avoid touching the zones when the hob is in use, or when
an “H” is showing on the zone display.
In the event of a power cut, the residual heat indicators will not
illuminate after the power supply is restored so extra care must be
taken.
Temperature Limiter:
The hob is equipped with a temperature limiting sensor that adjusts
the power output of the hob if the bottom of the cookware becomes
too hot, preventing damage to the cookware and to the hob itself.

14
Auto-stop Protection:
The hob is equipped with a sensor that will switch o the zone after
a factory set period of time if no keys are touched once the zone is
switched on.

Ecient Use of Your Hob
The hob is equipped with zones of dierent sizes, designed to
accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results, only
use pans with flat bottoms and choose appropriate zones depending
on the sizes of the pans. The most ecient use of the hob is shown
below, where the pans and zones are correctly chosen.
Use pan lids where possible to minimize the energy usage of your
appliance.
Turn o each zone a few minutes before the end of cooking time.
The residual heat in the zones will continue to cook the food for the
remaining cooking time.
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 should
be flat and smooth, as any rough part on the pan base could scratch
the ceramic hob top.

Zone Size Minimum Pan Size (cm) Maximum Pan Size (cm)
140 mm 11 16
180 mm 15 20
120 / 180 mm dual 9 / 15 14 / 20
140 / 210 mm dual11 / 18 16 / 23

16
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.
Pans with aluminium bases may leave silver streaks or spots on the
hob. Glassware and pans with rough circular machined bases should
not be used
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.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive sponges or sharp utensils such as
knives to clean the hob as these could damage the hob. The hob
surface and the pans must be clean.
Carefully remove any food remains (especially those containing sugar),
dirt etc. as soon as is possible after spillage - using a ceramic hob
scraper if necessary whilst the zone is still hot.
Sugar/syrup mixtures could permanently pit the hob surface if left to burn
on. Once they have cooled and hardened they become increasingly

dicult to remove.
All cleaner residues should be removed with a damp cloth.
Important:
• Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.

Fitting the Hob
Unpacking the hob:
Take care not to lose 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 180mm away from any adjacent vertical surfaces,
e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This may be reduced to 100mm if the
adjacent surface is resistant to fire (tiles or steel, for example). These
dimensions are shown in Fig. 7.
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.
8). 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.

20
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)
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.
• If there is no oven to be built in below the hob, an isolation shelf
should be fitted to protect the user from high temperatures. If the hob
is to be installed above a working drawer, then a partition should be
fitted to protect the contents and user from the heat generated during
use. This should be fitted 100mm below the hob.
• Never place perishable foods in the cupboard below the appliance.
