ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
LOCAL AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS
Installation is only permitted by an authorized person, and carried out according to instructions
provided by the manufacturer. Incorrect installation might cause harm and damage which the
manufacturer accepts no responsibility.
INSTALLATION
This cooktop must be connected to a 220-240V 50Hz power supply. It is earthed via the cord.
Before carrying out the connection to the power supply, the voltage rating of the appliance (stamped on the
appliance identification plate) must be checked for correspondence to the available mains supply voltage, and
the mains electric wiring should be capable of handling the hob’s power rating (also indicated on the
identification plate);
The switched fused spur outlet must be connected to a suitable earth wiring, in conformity to current safety
regulations.
This appliance must be wired into a 30A double pole switched fused spur outlet, having 3 mm contact
separation and placed in an easily accessible position adjacent to the appliance. It should not be located above
the appliance and no more than 1.25m away from it. The power supply cord must not touch against any hot
surfaces and must be placed so that its temperature does not exceed 75 °C at any point along its length.
Cable type: H05 RRF 3 core x 2.5 mm²
After having installed the appliance, the double pole switched fused spur outlet must always be in an accessible
position.
NOTE: For connections to the mains power supply, never use adapters, reductions or multiple power points as
these may overheat and catch fire.
The mains terminal block is located on the underside of the hob and the terminals are accessible by removing
the terminal block cover by removing the cover screw.
The cable connections must be in accordance with the diagram located on the bottom of the cooktop.
The brass links must be positioned as marked in the appropriate diagram and once established ALL terminal
screws must be tightened down firmly. If when the hob is first switched on, only two of the zones work, you
should recheck that the terminal screws are all fully tightened between the links. The cable can be looped if
necessary, but make sure that is not kinked or trapped when the hob is in position.
IMPORTANT: The appliance must NOT be connected to the mains supply by means of a 10A or 15A plug and
socket and installation is only permitted by an authorised person.
If the mains supply cable is damaged, then it must be replaced by an appropriate replacement which can only
be installed by a qualified person. The mains supply cable should be replaced in accordance with the following
instructions:
Switch the appliance off at the control switch. Open the terminal block on the underside of the hob. Unscrew
the terminal screws fixing the cable. Replace the cable with one of the same length and in accordance with the
specification given above. The “green-yellow” earth wire must be connected to the terminal marked. It must be
about 10 mm longer than the live and neutral wires. The “blue” neutral wire must be connected to the terminal
marked with letter (N) - the live wire must be connected to the terminal marked with letter (L).
The installation will require connection and modifications to the mains supply wiring system. This can only be
carried out by a qualified technician to the relevant local regulations.
The technician will also have to verify that the cross-section of the electric cables on the power point match the
appliance’s power rating.

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE CBES61
Cut a hole in the worktop that corresponds with the drawings shown above.
IMPORTANT: You must have a gap of at least 25 mm between the underneath of the appliance and any
surface that is below it.
Carefully turn the cooktop upside down and place it on a cushioned mat. Apply the sealing strip provided
around the edge of the appliance. The protective covering must be removed from both sides. Do not leave a
gap in the sealing agent or overlap the thickness.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a silicon sealant to seal the appliance against the bench top. This will make it difficult
to remove the cooktop from the bench top in future, particularly if it needs to be serviced.
(A) Sealing strip
(B) Clamp
(C) Screw
Place the clamp (B) over the holes that match the size of the screws. There are one set of screw holes in each
corner of the hob. Slightly tighten a screw (C) through the clamp (B) so that the clamp is attached to the hob,
but so that you can still adjust the position of it.
Carefully turn the hob back over and then gently lower it into the aperture hole that you have cut out.
On the underneath of the hob, adjust the clamps into a position that is suitable for your worktop. Then fully
tighten the screws (C) to secure the hob into position.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROL KNOBS:
All operations are performed by means of the 4 control knobs that can be found on the right hand side of the
cooktop.
The control knobs can be turned either clockwise or anti-clockwise to select a heating level. The numbers
around the outside of each control knob indicates the power level that you have set the zone to.
A marking to the bottom right of each control knob, indicates which zone that it controls.
COOKTOP GUIDELINES
The first few times the cooktop is used, it may give off an acrid, burning smell. This smell will disappear
completely with repeated use.
The cooktop surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and power. See previous pages.
The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked on the cooktop. The saucepans must be
positioned exactly on these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same diameter as the
cooking zone that they are being used on.
WARNING: Using cookware that is too large can cause discolouration or damage to the cooktop surface
around the heat zones, which is NOT covered under warranty.
You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch the solid plates.
Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean and dry.
When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as they expand when hot and lie flat on the
surface of the cooktop. This will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel
with sandwich type bottoms.
If the above is not adhered to, then there can be a great loss of heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the
saucepan, will spread to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.
Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat.
Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce cooking times.
Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the cooktop if it comes into contact with the cooktop
surface. Any spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not prevent the cooktop surface from
becoming damaged.
Always place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on. If possible, always place the lids on
the cookware. The bottom of any cookware used must not be smaller or larger than the cooking zones; they
should be at the proper size as indicated below, so as not to waste energy.

CLEANING
NOTE: Cleaning and maintenance operations must only be carried out when the cooktop is cool.
The appliance should be turned off at the isolation switch before commencing any cleaning process.
CLEANING THE COOKTOP
Any residues that are left on the cooktop surface from cleaning agents may damage it. You should remove any
residues with water and a little washing up.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the cooktop surface. The cooktop should be cleaned using
water and a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the cooktop surface is still warm, you should take extra care
not to burn yourself. It is recommended to only clean the cooktop when cold.
AFTER EACH USE
Wipe the appliance over with a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid.
Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
If the cooktop is heavily soiled, it is recommended that a stainless steel cleaner be used, but only on stainless
steel appliances.
IMPORTANT: If a stainless steel cleaner is not used regularly, then it is possible for the surface of the cooktop to
change colour over a period of time.
For other cooktop surfaces, a mild, non abrasive cream cleaner may be used.
MAINTAINING THE SOLID PLATES
If something is spilt onto the plate itself, then it can be removed using a soft brush, plastic or nylon scourers and
warm water.
To keep the solid plates in good condition, you should put a little olive oil onto a kitchen towel and rub it onto
the surface of the plate. The next time the plate is used, it may produce a little smoke.
Alternatively you can use a hotplate cleaner; these products can normally be found at larger supermarkets and
hardware stores. The manufacturer’s instructions should be followed when using these products.
IMPORTANT: If the solid plates are not maintained regularly with olive oil or a hotplate cleaner, then they may
rust.
