Choosing the Correct Cookware
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Ensure the base of the cookware is smooth, sits at against the glass and is the same size as the
cooking zone, ensuring the cookware is central on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans o the appliance, do not slide as this may scratch the glass.
Overheating Protection
The appliance is equipped with a temperature sensor that will monitor the temperature of the
appliance and if excessive temperatures are reached will automatically switch the appliance o.
Residual Heat Warning
When the appliance has been in operation there will be some residual heat left on the cooking zone
after switch o. The letter H will appear on the indicator to warn you that the appliance is still hot.
Automatic Shut O
A safety feature of this appliance is automatic shut o; this will occur if you forget to switch o a
cooking zone:
Power level 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Default working timer (hour) 8 8 8 4 4 4 2 2 2

Regular cleaning will prevent any salts or minerals from accumulating on the hob and discolouring
the glass.
It is recommended to use a specialist ceramic cleaner to restore the surface, but use sparingly to
avoid coating the hob top too thickly. Too much cream cleaner will lead to discolouration. Use a dry,
clean cloth to polish the surface.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Everyday
soiling on glass
(ngerprints,
marks, stains left
by food or non-
sugary spills on
the glass)
1. Switch the main power supply o to
the appliance.
2. Apply a cooker top cleaner (suitable
for ceramic hobs) while the glass is still
warm (but not hot!)
• When the power to the cooktop is
switched o, there will be no ‘hot surface’
indication but the cooking zone may still
be hot! Take extreme care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon
scourers and harsh /abrasive cleaning
agents may scratch the glass. Always
read the label to check if you’re cleaner or
scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the
appliance; the glass may become stained.
What How Important
Boil overs, melts,
and hot sugary
spills on the
glass
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth
or paper towel.
Remove these immediately with a
ceramic hob scraper suitable for
ceramic glass cooktops, but beware of
hot cooking zone surfaces:
1. Switch the main power supply o to
the appliance.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30°
angle and scrape the soiling or spill to
a cool area of the cooktop, taking care
not to scratch the glass.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a
dish cloth or paper towel.
• Remove stains left by melts and sugary
food or spills as soon as possible. If left to
cool on the glass, they may be dicult to
remove or even permanently damage the
glass surface.
• Cut hazard: when the safety cover is
retracted, the blade in a scraper is
razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and
always store safely and out of reach of
children.
12
Spills on the
touch controls
1. Switch the main power supply o
to the appliance.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe the touch control area with a
clean damp sponge or cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry with
a paper towel.
• The appliance may beep and turn itself
o, and the touch controls may not
function while there is liquid on them.
• Make sure you wipe the touch control
area dry before turning the appliance
back on.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are having problems with your appliance, please use our troubleshooting guide below. If you
are unable to resolve the issue using this guide please ring our Customer Service Department on
0844 848 5861. Please have the model code and purchase information available.
The cooktop
cannot be turned
on.
Check that the mains power
supply is switched on.
Power cut. Check with your neighbours that
there hasn’t been a power cut.
Fuse box tripped. Check that the fuse box hasn’t
tripped.
The controls are locked.
There may be a slight lm of water
over the controls or you may be
using the tip of your nger when
touching the controls.
Make sure the touch control area
is dry and use the ball of your
nger when touching the controls.
Rough-edged cookware. Check all your cookware has at
and smooth bases see ‘Choosing
the Correct Cookware’.
Unsuitable, abrasive scourers or
cleaning products being used.
See ‘Cleaning and
Maintenance’.
Switch on at the mains power
supply.
Fault Possible cause Solution
The touch controls
are unresponsive.
Unlock the controls. See section
‘Locking the Controls’ for
instructions.
The touch controls
are dicult to
operate.
The glass is being
scratched.
Some pans make
crackling or clicking
noises.
This may be caused by the
construction of your cookware
(layers of dierent metals vibrating
dierently).
This is normal for cookware and
does not indicate a fault.

14
DISPOSAL
The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in
normal unsorted municipal waste.
Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation,
that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers
should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
