Directions and suggestions for using
1.Do not touch the built-in ceramic hob with wet hands or feet.
2.Do not operate the built-in ceramic hob when you are barefoot.
3.Do not let young children operate the built-in ceramic hob.
4.Please disconnect the power supply before you do any maintenance and cleaning.
5.When the built-in ceramic hob is working, the temperature of the hob and the ambient temperature
become higher, so please do not touch it and keep the children away from it.
6.A steam cleaner must not be used for cleaning the appliance.
7.The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate
remote-control system.
8.The built-in ceramic hob must be built into a heat resistant cabinet. Some smoking may occur when
first used. Leave on for a short period to burn off excess sealant.
Operation of the top with the heating area
An appropriately selected pan saves energy. A pan should have a thick, flat base with a diameter equal
to the plate diameter as in that case heat is transferred most efficiently.
Advice on the use of cooking tops. To save energy and to prolong the life of the ceramic tops, we
advise using pans with flat bottom and with a diameter no less than the diameter of the tops. Care must
be taken that fluids do not spill on the ceramic plates. Never leave the tops on without pans on them or
with empty pans and never use the tops to heat plates. Switch on the elements after having set the
pans on them. Once switched off, the elements remain warm for a while, do not touch. Switch off the
heating element before removing the pans. • Select the cooking zone (fig. 2) and heat level (fig. 3).
•Press the timer button (fig. 5), and then use the up and down buttons to set the countdown time.
•Each time the timer up/down button is pressed, the timer display will increase or
decrease in 1 minute increments.
Safety cut-off
• If one or more of the cooking zones are accidentally left on, a safety cut-off will activate
after a certain period of time. The length of time depends on the set power level for that
zone. The table on the right gives the time limits for each power level.
• If more than one zone is operating when one of the zones reaches its safety cut-off
point, only the zone that has reached its safety cut-off point will switch off.

Touch control For PRCEH106
• All operations are performed by means of the touch controls on the control panel.
• Each touch control has a corresponding visual display (indicator light).
•You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
Switching on the ceramic hob
• Press the ON/OFF button (fig. 1) to switch on the appliance.
• The hob will beep once and all cooking zone indicators will light up briefly, indicating that
the hob has entered stand-by mode .
Notice: Take the next step within one minute, otherwise the controller will automatically
shut down.
Switching on a cooking zone and setting a power level
• Press the cooking zone select button (fig. 2) for the zone you want to use.
• Select the heat level required (1-9) by using the up and down buttons (fig. 3). By holding
down either of these buttons, the value on the heat level display will adjust up or down.
Note: when the power displayed 0, press the down button, the power will set to 9.
Switching off the ceramic hob
1. Press the ON/OFF button, the hob will switch off. It is possible to turn the hob off at any
time by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2. Press the up or down buttons to 0, then hob will switch off.
After a zone is switched off, the corresponding heat level display will show a flashing letter “H” .
This means that the temperature of the zone is above 60°C and is therefore still high enough
to cause injury.
•When the temperature of the zone falls below 60°C the letter “H” will go out. It is still
possible to burn yourself on a hob zone, even when its temperature has dropped below 60°C.
IMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if the mains supply to the product is cut.
Locking the ceramic hob
To lock the ceramic hob, press the safety lock button (fig. 4) while the appliance is
switched on. With the safety lock activated, all buttons on the control panel will be
disabled, except the ON/OFF button. To disable the safety lock feature, press the safety
lock button again. You are then able to adjust the heat level of any zone on the hob.
Timer
If touch-controlled, your hob has a timer which you can set (from 1 to 99 minutes) for each
cooking zone. At the end of the countdown period, a buzzer will sound and the relevant
cooking zone will be switched off.

PRCEH104 For PRCEH104, according to your needs, the tops can be adjusted by turning the knobs either
clockwise or anti-clockwise to 9 positions besides the 0 position (off). The positions marked by the
higher numerical index match the maximum output of heat (see table).
When using rapid tops, a thermostat automatically reduces the power when the selected temperature
is reached and the top operates intermittently to reach a constant cooking temperature. The pilot light
set in the control is a signal that the electric elements are switched on. The level of heat can be
adjusted gradually by turning the appropriate knob to the right or left. Switching on the element
results in an orange signal light illuminating on the control panel.
