Hints and tips on cooking and
frying
Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific
knowledge, intensive browning of
food, especially in products containing
starch, can constitute a health risk due
to acrylamides. Therefore we
recommend cooking at the lowest
possible temperatures and not
browning foods too much.
Cookware
• You can recognise good cookware from
the bottoms of the pans. The bottom
should be as thick and flat as possible.
• Cookware made of enamelled steel or with
aluminium or copper bottoms can leave
discolorations on the glass ceramic surface
which are difficult or impossible to remove.
Energy saving
Always place cookware on the
cooking zone before it is switched on.
If possible, always place lids on the
pans.
Switch cooking zones off before the
end of the cooking time, to take
advantage of residual heat.
Bottom of pans and cooking zones
should be the same size.

This table is intended as a guide only. It may be necessary to increase or decrease the

Electrical connection
Warning! This hob must be earthed.
Electrical requirements
Any permanent electrical installation must
comply with the latest I.E.E. Regulations and
local Electricity Board regulations. For your
own safety this should be undertaken by a
qualified electrician, e.g. your local Electricity
Board, or a contractor who is on the roll of
the National Inspection Council for Electrical
Installation Contracting (NICEIC).
Electrical connection
The hob is designed to be connected to 230
V (50 Hz) electricity supply. Before
connecting to the mains supply ensure that the
mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on
the rating plate underneath the hob.
For UK only
It is necessary that you install a double pole
switch between the hob and the electricity
supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm
between the switch contacts and of a type
suitable for the required load in compliance
with the current rules.
Warning! The switch must not break
the yellow and green earth cable at any
point. It is necessary that the yellow /
green earth wire is about 2 cm longer
than the live and neutral ones.
Important! After installation and
connecting, the cable must be placed so that
it cannot at any point reach a temperature of
more than 60°C above the ambient
temperature.
Before the hob is connected, check that the
main fuse and the domestic installation can
support the load; and that the power supply
is properly earthed.
The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility
should these safety measures not be carried
out.

Building in
Warning! The hob must be installed
according to the instructions supplied
by qualified and competent personnel
to the relevant National Standards.
Building in
• The dimensions of the cut-out section and
recess required must be as shown in the
relevant diagrams.
• Proper arrangements must be made of a
continuous supply of air to the hob to
prevent overheating.
• Clean the worktop in the area of the cutout
section.
• Stick the one-sided self-adhesive sealing
tape supplied all the way round the lower
edge of the cooking surface along the outer
edge of the glass ceramic panel. Do not
stretch it. The cut ends should lie in the
middle of one side. When you have cut it
to length (add a few mm), press the two
ends flush up against one another.
• A protective floor must be installed under
the appliance.
