Using The Hob
Choice of pans
The choice of cookware is important if you are to
achieve maximum benefit from cooking with your hob.
The following guidelines may help in your selection.
•When buying new pans, always refer to the pan
manufacturer’s guidelines.
• For best results and energy efficiency it is important
to use flat bottomed pans of the correct type, espe-
cially on ceramic glass hobs.
• Always use pans which are large enough to prevent
spillage, especially for deep frying, making jam or
cooking with sugar or syrup based substances.
• Trivets, round based woks, heat diffuser pads and
over-sized pans are not recommended.
Type of pan
• Avoid using double pans, or old misshapen pans
which are unstable and dangerous.
•Cast iron, stainless steel, or enamelled steel pans
are all suitable for use on ceramic glass and solid
plate hobs.
•Aluminium pans will give good cooking results but
care must be taken in their use. If they are slid
across the surface of a ceramic hob they tend to
l e a ve visible marks which can be difficult to remove.
•Certain types of copper based pans may become
slightly concave when heated, which can result in
slower cooking times.
•Glass pans can be used but if used on halogen
rings, the glow from the heating areas transmitted
through transparent glass may cause some visual
discomfort.
• Certain makes / brands of pre s s u rec o o kers may not
be suitable for use on ceramic hobs - they do not
c o m e to pre s s u re. Stainless steel pre s s u re cookers
will give optimum results.

Choice Of Pans
The most suitable pans for induction cooking are listed
below.
Choose a pan bearing the ‘Class Induction’ logo on its
base or packaging to be sure that it is perfectly suitable
for use on your hob under normal conditions of use.
You can also find a range of pans suitable for induction
cooking by looking in quality kitchen shops.
You probably already have some suitable pans:
•Pans in enamelled steel, with or without non-
stick coating
For example; cooking pot, chip pan, frying pan, meat
grill pan, etc.
•Cast iron pans
To avoid the risk of scratching the glass top of your
hob, use pans with an enamelled base, or avoid
sliding the pan across the glass surface.
•Stainless steel pans suitable for induction
Most stainless steel pans are suit a b l e for induction
cooking (saucepan, pot, frying pan, chip pan, etc).
Some stainless steel pans have copper bases which
are usually not suitable.
•Aluminium pans with a special base
Choose pans with a thick base, as this ensures more
e v en cooking (the heat is more evenly distributed).
The above pans may be used on the hob even when
the pan detector is active.
Incompatible pans -
when the pan detector
is in operatiion
Glass, ceramic or earthen -
ware pans, aluminium
pans (unless they have a
special base), copper
pans, some non-magnetic
steel pans.
!
Note : A pan with a base
not absolutely flat may still
be suitable, as long as it is
not too distorted.

08 26298 00 - C900TCLINEAR 22/10/07 10:00 am Page 11

Using The Hob
Type of pan base
• Pan bases should be thick, flat and smooth, to
e n s u re maximum heat contact with the hob,
maximum heat conduction and rapid cooking
t i m e s .
• Pans with dull or dark coloured bases will give the
quickest cooking results.
• Pans with thin, dented or ridge bases can result in
very slow cooking times and should not be used.
• Pans with highly polished bases reflect heat back
into the hob causing the ceramic hob hotplate to
c y cle on and off ra p i d l y, which slows down cooking.
Size of pan base
•The right size of pan base will ensure maximum
contact with the hob and rapid cooking times.
• Use pans with a flat base of minimum 128mm
diameter and maximum 280mm diameter.
• Pan bases that are much smaller or much larger
than the hotplate - eg; by 50mm - will result in
slower cooking times.
To save energy
• Always position pans centrally over the heating
area.
• Put lids on saucepans and only heat the amount of
liquid you need.
•When liquids boil, reduce the c o n t rol setting to main-
tain a simmer.
•Consider the use of a pressure cooker for the cook-
ing of a complete meal.
• Vegetables will cook quicker if chopped in smaller
pieces.
• Larger heating elements are ideal for faster cooking
methods, such as boiling or frying, and larger pans.
Smaller heating elements are ideal for simmering
and stewing, and for smaller pans.

Care & Cleaning
Some cooking operations generate a considerable
amount of grease. This, combined with spillage, can
become a hazard if allowed to accumulate on the hob
through lack of cleaning. In extreme cases this may
amount to misuse of the appliance and could invalidate
your guarantee.
Do not use caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning powders,
coarse wire wool or any hard implements, as they will
damage the surfaces.
Do not use soap filled pads, metal wire, bleaches, bath
stain removers, or chemical oven cleaners; all these
product types will damage the ceramic glass.
All parts of the hob can be safely cleaned with a cloth
wrung out in hot soapy water.
The following recommendations will help to keep the
ceramic glass surface bright and clean:
•Use a dampened paper towel or clean damp cloth to
apply a small dab of cleaner conditioner to clean
each heating area.
• Use another paper towel or a clean dry soft cloth to
wipe dry, and then polish the whole glass surface.
• To remove any stubborn marks or heavy soiling, a
non scratching, mild cream cleaner may be used.
A l t e r n a t i ve l y, a “cera m i c hob scraper” may be used.
Important: If you use a wet paper towel or clean
damp cloth to remove s p i llage from a warm heating are a
of the hob, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Always allow the hob
to cool before clean-
ing.
Always: switch off the
electricity supply
before cleaning this
appliance.
Caution: Any cleaning
agent used incorrectly
may damage the hob.
!
Do not use steam clean-
ers on any part of this
appliance.

Care & Cleaning
Care and maintenance
Before using the hob for the first time, apply a thin coat-
ing of cleaner condit i o n e r to the ceramic glass, and polish
the surface with a clean cloth.
The conditioner gives a protective covering to the
ceramic glass which not only makes the hob easier to
clean, but also ensures that you will gain maximum life
out of this product. O ccasional use will help prevent the
build up of mineral deposits which can cause discoloura-
tion of the hob surfa c e .
Discolouration of the hob
Do not use a dishcloth or dish sponge to wipe the hob -
this can leave a film of detergent on the surface which
will discolour the hob next time a heating area is used.
Clean cloths kept for the cleaning of the hob can be
used.
Do not use too much cleaner conditioner - only a thin
coating is required, any excess may burn on and d i s -
colour the hob when it is next in use.
If persistent stains or marks remain on the ceramic
glass surface, it can be cleaned using a mild cream
cleaner or a ceramic hob scraper. This will also re m ove
any accumulated salts or minerals before they have an
opportunity to discolour the ceramic glass.
Wipe clean with a damp paper towel or clean damp
cloth and re-apply cleaner conditioner.

Installation Instructions
General information
Installation should only be carried out by a qualified
installer or engineer.
Please keep to the following points most carefully;
•The hob should not be fitted 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 for fixing
them must be heat resistant in order to avoid any
damage.
• The space for air circulation, located underneath and
at the back of the hob improves its reliability by
ensuring that it will cool down, however it has been
fitted in.
• For installations in the Republic of Ireland, refer to
National Regulations applicable to this product.
Choosing your installation
1. Over a unit with a door or drawer.
2. Above an oven.
In all cases your hob needs to be well ventilated.
Make sure that the air inlet through the ventilator grid
underneath the hob are never blocked.
The hob must not be fitted over a wa s h i n g machine, a
fridge or a freezer.
Installing the hob over a unit with a drawer or
door
Air outlet is underneath work surface.
If necessary, remove the front crosspiece of the unit.
S u itable protection to pre v ent obstruction of the air inlet
to the fans must be provided.
We recommend that you
install this appliance in a
work top which is a mini-
mum 38mm deep.
The hob can be fitted into
a a work top less than
38mm deep, but the
9mm gap between hob
base and appliance must
be maintained.
!

Installation Instructions
Installing the hob above an oven
In the even of repeated operation of the thermal protec-
tion devices, you can install an insulation kit between
the oven and the hob (available from Stoves Customer
Support or your local supplier).
With this configuration, the oven can be fitted in the
unit in the lower position only.
Installing the hob above a Stoves 600mm single
cavity oven
A minimum 9mm gap must be maintained between the
oven top and the base of the hotplate.
Installing the hob above a Stoves 720mm twin
cavity oven
A minimum 9mm gap must be maintained between the
oven top and the base of the hotplate.
The appliance MUST be fitted on the runner kit provid-
ed. It is not suitable for shelf type installation if the
plinth line is to be maintained.
Ovens other than Stoves
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for clearances
above the oven.
We recommend a 9mm gap between hob and appliance,
should the work surface be less than 38mm deep.
Installing the hob above a pyrolytic oven
If installing the hob above a pyrolytic oven, additional
provision for air c i rculation / ve n t i lation may be re q u i r e d .
Due to the exc e s s i v e tempera t u r es attained during py ro l y -
sis, using the hob at the same time may cause the thermal
s a f e ty device within the hob to operate.

Fitting into worktop
•Cut a hole in the work surface to the required size.
See table for relevant dimensions.
A clearance of at least 40mm should be main-
tained between the cutout and any rear or side
wall.
•The cooking hob should be fitted into a worktop
which is least 40mm thick. The worktop must be
of heat- resistant material or cove r e d with heat-
resistant material.
•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.
Minimum clearance above the hob
Important: So that cooking utensils can be used easily,
there should be no unit or vertical surface within
300mm of the cooking hob.
