For future reference please record the following information which can be found on the
rating plate together with the date of purchase from your sales invoice. The rating plate of
your hob is located underneath of the appliance. Therefore please record this information
before you install your appliance.
USING THE HOB
Before first use
o You should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes at the maximum setting.
This will help to eliminate any manufacturing smell that exists and evaporate any humidity
that has formed on the heating elements during transit.
o For this process, an appropriately sized saucepan containing cold water should be placed
on the zone in question.
o Do not burn off more than one zone at a time.
Control knobs
o All operations are performed by means of the 4 control knobs that can be found on the
right hand side of the hob.
o The control knobs can be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise to select a heating
level. The numbers around the outside of each control knob indicate the power level that
you have set the zone to.
o A marking next to each control knob indicates which zone it controls.

o Turn the control knob of the zone that you wish to cook on clockwise or anticlockwise until
it reaches the power level that you desire.
o Each cooking zone can be adjusted between 1 and 6, one being the coolest zone setting
and six being the hottest zone setting.
o When you have finished cooking, make sure that you turn the control knob to the “O" (off)
position.
Hob Guidelines
o The first few times the hob is used, it may give off an unpleasant, burning smell. This smell
will disappear completely with repeated use.
o The hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diameter and power rating.
o The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked on the hob. The
saucepans must be positioned exactly on these zones to produce efficient heating. Pans
should have the same diameter as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
o You should not use saucepans with rough bases, as these can scratch the solid plates.
o Before use, make sure that the bases of the saucepans are clean and dry.
o When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as they expand when hot
and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
o 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 bases.
o If these rules are not followed, there will be a loss of heat and energy. Heat not absorbed
by the saucepan, will spread to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.
o Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat.
o Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water as possible to reduce cooking
times.
o Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob if it comes into contact
with the hob surface. Any spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not
prevent the hob surface from becoming damaged.
o IMPORTANT: The hob surface is tough; however it is not unbreakable and can be
damaged. Especially if pointed or hard objects are allowed to fall onto it with some force.
o DO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE IS BROKEN OR CRACKED. YOU SHOULD
CONTACT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Hob
After each Use
o Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth and some washing up liquid.
o Dry the appliance surface with a clean cloth.
o As the hob surface is made from stainless steel, a suitable stainless steel cleaner should
be used.
o IMPORTANT: If a stainless steel cleaner is not used regularly, it is possible for the surface
of the hob to discolour over a period of time.
Maintaining the Solid Plates
o If something is spilt onto the plates themselves, then it can be removed using a soft brush,
plastic or nylon scourer and warm water.
o 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 plates. The next time the plates are used, this may
produce a little smoke.
o Alternatively you can use a hotplate conditioner; these products can normally be found in
larger supermarkets and hardware stores. The manufacturer's instructions should be
followed when using these products.
o IMPORTANT: If the solid plates are not maintained regularly with olive oil or a hotplate
conditioner, then they may rust.
Cleaning and maintenance operations must only be carried out when the
hob is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before
commencing any cleaning process.
Any residues that are left on the cooktop surface from cleaning agents will
damage it. You should remove any residues with water and a little washing up
liquid.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the cooktop surface; you should
clean it 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 care not to burn yourself if cleaning the cooktop surface
when it is still warm.
