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.

6
Cooking on Induction
The principle of induction cooking is based on magnetic eect.
When you put your cookware on an induction zone and switch it on,
the electronic boards in the hob produce induced currents in the base
of the cookware and instantly raise its temperature. This heat is then
transferred to the food inside the cookware.
The best cookware to use with induction cooking has thick flat bases,
as the heat will be better distributed meaning cooking is more even.
Most cookware is compatible with induction cooking.
There are three ways to check the suitability of your cookware:
1. Using a magnet to see if the base of the pan is magnetic: if the
magnet sticks, then the cookware is compatible.
2. Place the pan on one of the cooking zones and switch the
zone on. If the display continues to show the selected power
level then the cookware is compatible. If the display shows “ ”,
the cookware cannot be used on an induction hob.
3. Check the instructions or packaging of the pans for the
symbols indicating suitability for use with induction.

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 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.
To set the power level
•Simply select the desired heat setting using the "+" or "-" selectors.
The power level ranges from 1 (minimum) to 9 (maximum). The hob
will then begin heating providing that the correct cookware is being
used.
Please note: If the "+" selector is used first to adjust the heat setting
then the heat setting will default to 4. If the "-" is used first then the
heat setting will default to 9. The heat settings can be adjusted
normally using the "+" and "-" selectors.
To turn the power o to a zone
•To switch o a zone you can use the "-" 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

9
"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.
Booster
•The hob is equipped with a booster function on all zones, allowing
a higher power level than the maximum for approximately ten
minutes. To turn on the booster function, touch the booster sensor
(9) and then use the "+" sensor (2) for the desired zone. "P" will show
in the cooking zone indicator to show that the booster is on.
• The booster function automatically deactivates after 10 minutes of
usage. The cooking zone will continue to operate at its nominal
power at this point. The booster can be reactivated after this time
provided the hob's internal components have not overheated.
• To cancel the booster at any time, lower the heat setting using the
"-" sensor (3).
Please note: If no zone is selected within approximately four seconds
of touching the booster sensor (9) then the hob will beep and the
booster function setting will be cancelled.
The booster function cannot be used on two vertically arranged, or
bridged, cooking zones at the same time. This is to prevent damage
to the internal modules caused by overheating. In the case of
bridging, the booster function can still be used on one zone. The
power of the un-boosted zone may be reduced depending on the
size of the pans being used.

10
If the appliance's electronic circuits or induction coils overheat
whilst the booster function is in operation then the function will be
automatically deactivated and the zone will continue to operate at its
nominal power. The booster function will be available again once the
internal components have been cooled suciently.
It is normal for a high pitched whirring noise to begin whilst the
booster function is in use. This is the cooling fan inside the hob
keeping the internal components as cool as possible.
If a pot is removed from the cooking zone whilst the booster function
is in use, the ten minute countdown continues.
Operating time limiter
In addition to the booster deactivation timer, 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
•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 (3) for that zone once. The heat setting will be
set to 9. Touch the "+" sensor (2) for the zone and the heat setting
will be set to 'A'.
•Adjust the zone to the desired heat setting between 1 and 8. The
display will alternate between the set power level and “A” 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 below.
• To disengage the auto-heat function simply touch both the "+"
sensor (2) and the "-" sensor (3) simultaneously for that zone. The
cooking zone indicator should revert to 0.
Please note: The auto-heat function is not compatible with heat
settings 9 or P.

Timer/Minute Minder
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 be used separately for
each zone, and an LED will indicate the zone positions for each of the
active timers. Once the timers are set, the timer display will show the
time remaining on the first zone to finish cooking. In normal use, the
timer ending prompts the zone heating to end as well. However the
timer can also be used as a minute minder to count down time without
halting heating.
Please note: A decimal point next to the timer display will indicate that
the minutes are ready to be set.
To set the timer
•First switch on the hob if necessary and set the desired zone to the
power level required.
•Touch the timer “+” and “-” sensors (5 and 6) simultaneously. This
will activate the minute minder. Touch the timer “+” and “-” sensors
(5 and 6) simultaneously again to switch to the zone timer function.
If multiple zones are in use then you will need to touch the “+” and
“-” simultaneously and repeatedly to cycle through the zones until
the timer LED indicating the desired zone is flashing.
•The timed zone LEDs are oriented in a similar way to the zones;

13
•Using the timer “+” sensor (5) or the timer “-” sensor (6), set the
desired cooking time (in minutes) to between 0 and 99. The
selection will confirm in approximately 10 seconds, the timer display
will show the time set and the countdown will start.
•If no time is set within ten seconds, the timer display (7) will
become inactive and the zone will continue cooking.
At the end of the timer, the selected zone will switch o and the timer
display, and relevant timed zone LED, will flash. The hob will beep for
approximately two minutes. To switch o the beep and the flashing
display, touch either the timer “+” or “-” key. This beeping also occurs
after the minute minder time has elapsed and the same process to
switch o the beep applies.
Please note: The timer duration can be adjusted at any time during
the countdown. Simply follow the steps for setting the timer and
amend the minutes as necessary.
To cancel the timer
•Touch the timer “+” and “-” sensors (5 and 6) simultaneously to
re-activate timer adjustment. Using the “-” sensor set the time to 0.
After approximately 10 seconds the timer on the relevant zone will
be cancelled.
•Do this for each zone if necessary. Use the “+” and “-” sensors
to cycle through the timed zone LEDs until the desired timed zone
LED is flashing.
•Cancelling the timer will not switch o a zone. You should switch
the zone o manually if required.

14
To set the minute minder
• Switch the hob on using the on/o sensor (1) if necessary.
• Touch the timer “+” and “-” sensors (5 and 6) simultaneously to
activate the minute minder. The LED immediately below the timer
display should flash. This is the minute minder LED.
• Use the timer “+” sensor (5) or the timer “-” sensor (6) to set
the desired time in minutes.
• After approximately 10 seconds the hob will beep to confirm the
time has been set and the countdown will begin.
To cancel the minute minder
• Follow the steps for setting the minute minder but set the time to 0.
After approximately 10 seconds the timer display will extinguish.
Pause Function
The hob is equipped with a pause function that allows the user to
suspend the hob's operation for a brief period of time and to easily
continue cooking when convenient from the previously assigned
settings. This is particularly useful when your attention is drawn from
the hob, i.e. answering the door.
To activate the pause function
• At least one hob zone must be active. Press the pause function
sensor (11). All cooking zone indicators will show a pause symbol (II)
and the pause function sensor LED will illuminate.
To deactivate the pause function and resume cooking
• Press the pause function sensor (11) so that the Pause function LED

15
flashes and then touch any other sensor field on the control panel.
Please note: The pause function can only be used for a maximum of
10 minutes. If the hob is not reactivated within this time then the hob
switches itself o.
The pause sensor can be used to restore the last-set cooking
settings if the on/o sensor (1) is accidentally activated and the hob
switched o during use. Simply switch the hob back on using the on/
o sensor (1) and press the pause function sensor (10). This feature is
only available for approximately 6 seconds after the hob has been
switched o. Once power has been restored the pause function LED
will flash to indicate that the previous settings can still be restored.
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.
• A flat-bottomed pan must be used so that the temperature can be
accurately measured by the detector within the heating zone.
• Due to the potential for the spread of bacteria it is not advisable to
keep food warm for too long. The keep warm function is limited to
use for only two hours at a time to keep food as safe as possible.
• There are three temperature levels that can be set: 42°C, 70°C and
94°C.

16
To activate the keep warm function
• Touch the keep warm function sensor (12). A single LED should
illuminate. This signals that the 42°C heating level has been
selected.
• To activate the 70°C heating level, touch the keep warm function
sensor again. A single LED, to the right of the 42°C LED, should
illuminate.
• To activate the 90°C heating level, touch the keep warm function
sensor again. Both LEDs above the keep warm function sensor
should illuminate.
• With the desired heat level prepared, press the plus setting sensor
of the required zone.
Please note: The cooking zone indicator will display the ( ) symbol
when the 42°C heating level is active, the ( ) symbol will be
displayed when the 70°C heating level is active and the ( ) symbol
will be displayed when the 94°C heating level is active.
To deactivate the keep warm function
• Touch the “-” setting sensor (3) of the relevant zone. The relevant
cooking zone indicator will revert to displaying 0 if the function has
been deactivated successfully.
Please note: The hob will automatically shut o after 10 seconds if
no zone is set, even after the keep warm sensor has been touched.
This feature can be used if the keep warm function is activated
accidentally.

17
Bridge Function
The hob is equipped with a bridge function which allows you to use
two heating zones with just one zone's controls. This function is
intended for use with pans such as fish kettles and is available for the
two zones on the left side and the two zones on the right side.
To bridge the left-hand zones
Touch the “+” sensor of the front-left zone and, at the same time,
touch the “-” sensor of the rear-left zone. If the bridge function has
been enabled succesfully, the cooking zone indicator (4) of the rear-
left zone will display a ( ) symbol. The front left zone controls will now
alter both zones’ heat setting.
To bridge the right-hand zones
Touch the “+” sensor of the rear-right zone and, at the same time,
touch the “-” sensor of the front-right zone. If the bridge function has
been enabled succesfully, the cooking zone indicator (4) of the rear-
right zone will display a ( ) symbol. The front right zone controls will
now alter both zones’ heat setting.
To cancel a bridge
Simply touch the same two sensors that were used to activate the
bridge function. If the bridge has been successfully cancelled then the
two zone indicators that were bridged will each display a 0. The zones
will now be individually operational.
Please note: Pans placed on bridged zones must always cover the
vertical markings (II) on the zones.

18
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.
Disconnecting the appliance from the mains will deactivate the safety
key lock.
To switch on the lock, turn on the hob and touch the safety key lock
sensor (10) for approximately 2 seconds. The hob will beep and the
safety key lock LED should illuminate.
To switch o the lock, switch on the hob if necessary and then touch
the safety key lock sensor (10) for approximately 2 seconds. The hob
will beep and the safety key lock LED should extinguish.
Residual Heat Indicator
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 above 45°c. You should avoid
touching any zone whilst the hob is in use or whilst residual heat
indicators are displayed.
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.

19
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.
Pans placed on the zones must always cover the vertical markings
(II) on a zone. Locating the centre of a pan on 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 21.
