Before Using Your New Ceramic Hob
• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’section.
• Remove any protective lm that may still be on your ceramic hob.
Choosing the Right Cookware
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits at against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone.
Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans o the ceramic hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
• Occasionally the heated areas may be seen to switch on and o when higher heat settings are used.
This is due to a safety device, which prevents the glass from overheating. Some switching on and o
when cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal, causes no damage to the
hob and little delay in cooking times. Excessive switching may however be caused by the use of an
unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which is smaller than the heated area. If excessive switching occurs,
discontinue the use of the saucepan.
• To improve performance, and reduce energy, always use pans with close tting lids.

When You Have Finished Cooking
Turn the cooking zone o by turning the power regulating control to
the “OFF“ position.
Hot Hob Warning Indicator
When the glass plate is hot, the hot hob warning indicator will illuminate.
Don’t touch the glass plate until the indicator turns o.
It can also be used as an energy saving function if you want to heat
further pans, use the hotplate that is still hot.
2. Adjust the power regulating control to the desired level to turn on
the control.
Using Your Ceramic Hob
To Start Cooking
1. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone you wish to use.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking
zone are clean and dry.

Cooking Guidelines
Cooking Tips
• When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
• Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
• Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
• Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated through.
Simmering, Cooking Rice
• Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85˚C, when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface
of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the avours develop without
overcooking the food. You should also cook egg-based and our thickened sauces below boiling point.
• Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than the lowest
setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.
Searing Steak
To cook juicy avoursome steaks:
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan and then lower the meat
onto the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steak
and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 – 8 minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge
how cooked it is – the rmer it feels the more ‘well done’it will be.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender before
serving.
For Stir-Frying
1. Choose an induction compatible at-based wok or a large frying pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking large quantities, cook
the food in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briey and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook any meat rst, put it aside and keep warm.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a lower setting, return the
meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.
Take care when frying as oil and fat heat up very quickly. At extremely high termperatures oil and fat will
ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious re risk.

Cleaning and Maintenance
What? How? Important!
Everyday soiling on
glass
(ngerprints, marks,
stains left by food or
non-sugary spillovers
on the glass)
1. Switch the power to the ceramic
hob o.
2. Apply a ceramic hob cleaner while
the glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean
cloth or paper towel.
• When the power to the ceramic hob
is switched o, there will be no‘hot
surface’indication but the cooking
zone may still be hot!
Take extreme care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch the glass. Always
read the label to check if your cleaner
or scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the
ceramic hob: the glass may become
stained.
Boilovers, melts, and
hot sugary spills on the
glass
Remove these immediately with a sh
slice, palette knife or razor blade scraper
suitable for ceramic glass ceramic hob,
but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the ceramic
hob o at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30˚
angle and scrape the soiling or spill
to a cool area of the ceramic hob.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a
dish cloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 3 for ‘Everyday
soiling on glass’above.
• Remove stains left by melts and
sugary food or spillovers as soon as
possible. If left to cool on the glass,
they may be dicult to remove or even
permanently damage the glass surface.
• Cut hazard: when the safety cover
is retracted, the blade in a scraper is
razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and
always store safely and out of reach of
children.
Spillovers on the power
regulating controls
1. Switch the power to the ceramic
hob.
2. Soak up the spill.
3. Wipe the power regulating control
area with a clean damp sponge or
cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry with a
paper towel.
• Make sure you wipe the power
regulating control area dry before
turning the ceramic hob back on.

Installation
Preparing the Worktop
Cut out the work surface following the dimensions shown in the drawing below.
For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum distance of 5cm space must be left around the cut out.
Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 20mm. Use a heat-resistant work surface material to avoid
deformation caused by the heat from the hob. The minimum distance between the hob and the cupboard should
be at least 65cm.
Ensuring Adequate Ventilation
Always make sure the ceramic cooker hob is well ventilated and that the air inlet and outlet are not blocked.
This hob requires an adequate supply of fresh, cool air to fully function. The base of the hob must have direct
unrestricted ventilation to the room where the hob is installed. Follow the requirements below.
There are ventilation holes around the outside of the hob. YOU MUST ensure that these holes are not
blocked by the worktop, when you put the hob into position.

Fastening the Fixing Brackets
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging).
1. Turn the hob upside down, place it on a soft surface and fasten the brackets to the approriate holes. DO NOT
tighten the screws at this stage.
2. Apply sealing strips around the edge of the hob.
• The hob must be installed by qualied personnel or technicians.
• The hob should not be mounted above cooling equipment, dishwashers and rotary dryers.
• All surfaces around the hob should be able to withstand the heat generated by the hob.

• Do not use a silicon sealant to seal the appliance against the aperture. This will make it dicult to
remove the hob from the aperture, particularly if it needs to be serviced.
Do not over tighten the hob
clamps as distortion of the hob
may occur.
3. Insert the hob into the cut out and position it correctly.
4. Tighten the screws to secure the hob to the worktop.
