Product Information
The HO-4 range of ceramic hobs are able to meet the requirements of even the most demanding of
cooks, its stylish controls, and sleek design give something more to those who require exceptional
kitchen appliances.

SPECIFICATIONS
Working Principle
The HO-4 Parmco hob employs sophisticated microcomputer technology. This controls all aspects of
the hobs heating and timing requirements. The heat resistant wiring ensures longevity, while the
advanced heating technology provides all the benefits ceramic cooking can offer.
Excessive Heat Protection
Sensors mounted in the hob itself monitor temperature on each hotplate. Should excessive heat occur
under any circumstances, then your ceramic hob will automatically disconnect the elements and cease
the power supply.
Residual Heat Indicators
After you have used the hob, residual heat will remain for sometime as the hob cools, during this time
an “H” will be displayed to warn of heat still being omitted.
Auto shut down protection
If the hob reaches it’s set time limit the corresponding element will automatically shut off. If more than
one element is in use, then all elements will cease operation when anyone element reaches it’s set limit.
These limits are shown in the table below.
Power level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Default working time(hour) 8 8 8 4 4 4 2 2 2
