Overview
Function Description Symbol
Power Level Once a cook zone is selected, a power level can
be set to a low or high temperature. 1-9
Residual Heat
After use, the cooking surface remains hot and the
residual heat symbol will be displayed. As it cools,
the residual heat symbol will disappear from the
display.
Fault
If “F” and letters appear on the display, your unit

table X
Timer
All cooking zones can be operated under the timer
independently and at the same time for up to 99
minutes. When the set time expires the timer will
beep and the cook zone will switch off
automatically.
Auto Heat Up
By selecting the automatic heat up time function,
the zone will be at full power temporarily, then
automatically reduces to the selected pre-set level.
Caution: Always ensure that pans remain within the marked cooking area when hot. Do not
allow hob pans to rest on the user control panel at the front of the hob glass, as this will cause the
controls to overheat and the appliance to temporarily shut down.
Before switching on the power supply to the appliance, switch off any bright lights (such as cooker
hood) and ensure the appliance is not in direct sunlight.
This is to enable the electronic controls to calibrate it’s sensitivity against natural ambient lighting
(approx 30 seconds).
Failure to observe the above will result in the hob not functioning correctly, (Display showing “FL”). To
rectify remove all strong lighting sources and re-apply power.
The hob should complete the calibration procedure satisfactorily and lighting such as cooker hoods can
be used normally.
The power settings on the hob do not indicate any set temperature and cannot be used to judge one
element against another.
During cooking, the elements will cycle on and off. This is normal.

FAILURE TO INSTALL APPLIANCES CORRECTLY IS DANGEROUS AND COULD LEAD TO
PROSECUTION.
Please take care when handling - we recommend the use of protective gloves during installation.
Installation should only be carried out by a competent electrician / qualied technician. We recommend
that the appliance is connected by a competent person who is a member of a “Competent Person
Scheme” who will comply with the required local regulations. In regions where applicable, please retain
your certicate of compliance
Our policy is one of constant development and improvement, therefore we cannot guarantee the strict
accuracy of all of our illustrations and specications. Changes may have been made subsequent to
publishing.
Please keep to the following points most carefully;
Although every care has been taken to ensure this appliance has no burrs, or sharp edges, we recom-
mend that you wear protective gloves when installing and moving this appliance. This will prevent injury.
The hob should not be tted above a washing machine, a fridge or a freezer.
Wall surfaces above the work surface and in the immediate vicinity of the cooking hob must be heat
resistant. Laminated surfaces and the adhesive used, must be heat resistant in order to avoid any dam-
age.
The space for air circulation, located underneath and at the back of the hob improves its reliability by
ensuring that it will cool down, efciently.
Installations should be carried out in line with the National Regulations applicable for this product type.
Make sure that the air inlets through the ventilator grids underneath the hob are never blocked. An air
outlet of 5mm underneath work surface is required.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Installation above an oven
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for clearances above the oven. We recommend a minimum
20mm gap between the bottom of the hob and appliance, should the work surface be less than 38mm
deep
Installation above a unit with a drawer or door
If necessary, remove the front crosspiece of the unit. The base of the appliance must be protected from
damage e.g. drawers may only be installed providing a partition panel is tted to the required dimen-
sions underneath the appliance.

WHEN UNDERNEATH OF HOB IS ACCESSIBLE BY CONSUMER, A

In the case of a pyrolytic oven
If installing the hob above a pyrolytic oven, additional provision for air circulation / ventilation may be
required. Due to the excessive temperatures attained during pyrolysis, using the hob at the same time
may cause the thermal safety device within the hob to operate.

Fitting into work top
Sufcient length of cable should be allowed so the hob can be removed for servicing, but make sure it
is routed away from the underside of the hob & does not get trapped during installation.
Important: Ensure that you route all electrical cables and exible tubing well clear of any adjacent heat
source - eg; oven / grill.
Protecting the cut-out;
The types of chipboard used for work surfaces swell relatively quickly in contact with humidity.
Apply a special varnish or adhesive to the cut edge to protect it from steam or condensation which may
form under the work surface under the hob.
This hob can be installed conventionally (glass above the work top) or recessed into the work top for a
ush t.
