SAFETY
Fire Safety Advice
Most kitchen fires occur when
people are distracted or leave things
unattended, so remember:
If you’re called away from the cooker - by
the phone or someone at the door, either
take pans off the heat, or switch off your
hob.
Don’t let yourself be distracted while
cooking.
If you do have a fire in the kitchen,
don’t take any risks - get everyone
out of your home and call the Fire
Brigade.
If a pan catches fire:
1) Don’t move it - it is likely to be
extremely hot
2) Turn off the heat if it’s safe to do so
- but never lean over a pan to reach
the controls
3) If you have a fire blanket, put it over
the pan
4) If you have put the fire out, leave the
pan to cool completely.
Deep-fat frying presents more
dangers in your kitchen.
1) Never fill a chip pan (or other deep-fat
fryer) more than one-third full of oil
2) Don’t use a fire extinguisher on a pan
of oil - the force of the extinguisher
can spread the fire and create a
fireball.
If you have an electrical fire in the
kitchen:
1) Pull the plug out, or switch off the
power at the fuse box - this may be
enough to stop the fire immediately
2) Smother the fire with a fire blanket,
or use a dry powder or carbon dioxide
extinguisher
3) Remember: never use water on an
electrical or cooking oil fire.

SAFETY
Hob Safety
1) Parts of the appliance may become
hot while in use. Always make sure
that children are supervised when
they are near to the appliance.
2) Always position pans over the centreof
the cook zone, and turn the handles
to a safe position so they cannot be
accidentally knocked or grabbed.
3) Don’t leave pans on the hob when
you’re not around - take them off the
cook zone if you have to leave the
kitchen even if you think it will only be
for a moment, while you answer the
door or phone.
4) If you use a griddle plate ensure it is
completely cool before attempting to
lift it from the hob as residual heat
may cause burns, Always use oven
gloves to protect your hands.
5) The appliance has a glass hob top,
make sure you do not drag pans
across the ceramic surface as this will
lead to scratches and damage.
6) Do not use the hob surface as a
chopping board or food preparation
area as this may lead to it becoming
damaged.
7) Warning:- Do not use the hob if the
glass is cracked, as electrical parts
are directly beneath. To avoid the
possibility of electric shock, turn off
the electricity supply to the hob at the
socket and arrange a service call.
8) The glass ceramic can get hot whilst
cooking; even though the cook zone
itself does not generate heat. The
heat generated is conducted back
from the hot pans.
9) Keep electrical leads from trailing over
or going near the hob.
10) Warning:- Metallic objects such as
knives, forks, spoons and lids should
not be placed on the hob surface
since they can get hot.
11) Warning:- Ensure you switch off the
appropriate cook zone individually or
by the central on/off key when you
have finished cooking, do not rely
upon the automatic pan detection
system as your means of switching
“off” the appliance.
12)The appliance must never be
disconnected from the mains supply
during use as this will seriously
affect the safety and performance,
particularly in relation to surface
temperatures becoming hot and
component parts not working
efficiently. The cooling fan (if fitted) is
designed to run on after the control
has been switched off.
13)This induction hob complies with the
applicable EMC and EMF standards.
Therefore it should not interfere
with other electronic units. Persons
fitted with a pacemaker or any other
electrical implant should clarify with
their doctor or the producer of the
implant, whether there implant
is adequate and fail-safe,the
pacemaker must be designed in
compliance with the appropriate
regulations.

USING THE HOB
Touch Controls
The touch controls for your induction hob
have been designed to provide you with
finger tip control of your hob, providing
accurate and repeatable power settings
for cooking and an easy clean surface
that can be easily wiped over. When a
cook zone is activated the power setting
is displayed for each zone individually.
Important Notice:-
Before switching on the power
supply to this 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 its sensitivity
against natural ambient lighting
(approx 30s).
Failure to observe the above will
result in the hob not functioning
correctly, 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 normaly.
Using the Touch Controls
Use the flat of your finger, not the tip, the
controls respond to touch, so you don’t
need to apply any pressure.
Always ensure the control area is clean,
dry and free from of any objects (e.g.
utensils, tea towels and cloths), spillages
and water may make the controls difficult
to operate.
A warning will be activated and will
beep every 10 seconds, to attract your
attention, please remove any objects and
clean the control area as appropriate.
Basic Control Functions
Key Lock
A RED LED indicates when the key lock
is active, to deactivate/activate touch the
Key Lock key for 1s.
The key lock is deactivated when the Red
LED switches off.
If the cook zones are on, the key lock
function locks all the keys except the
ON/OFF.
When all the hob cook zones are off,
the key lock function locks all the keys,
including the ON/OFF key.
The Key Lock is automatically activated
when power is initially applied to the Hob.

USING THE HOB
Central On/Off switch.
The central on/off switch enables all of
the cooking zones to be switched off
simultaneously at a touch of a key.
To switch on the hob
The hob is switched On by touching
the“ON/OFF” key for 1 sec.
A beep sounds and all the heater displays
show a full stop in the cook zone display.
If the selection of a heater is not done in
10 seconds, the hob will turn off
automatically.
The hob is switched Off by touching
the“ON/OFF” key for 1 sec.
A beep sounds and all the heaters are-
switched Off.
Switching on an individual Hob Cook
zone.
To switch on a cook zone it is necessary
to actuate every cooking zone by means
of two operations:
1) Touch the required cook zone key for
approx 1s a beep sounds and the heater
display shows the power level with normal
brightness.
The heaters that are not selected are
dimmed. When the cook zone selec-
tion is finished after 10 seconds, a beep
sounds and all the heater displays that
were dimmed show the power levels with
normal brightness.
2) Select the required power setting
using the up +/down – keys.
Switching off an individual Hob Cook
zone.
Once the cook zone is selected, it can be
switched off by touching the down [-]
and up [+] keys simultaneously. A beep
sounds and the corresponding display-
shows “0”.
Power Boost
Temporarily boost the power to a cook
zone by approx 25%, all areas can be
boosted for a period of up to 10 minutes,
After 10 minutes a beep sounds and the
heater will return to level “9”.
Quick Operation
With the cook zone at power level 0,
touch the down [-] key the power level
will raise straight to 9.
With the cook zone at power level 9,
touch the up [+] key the power level will
raise to the Power Boost level and a beep
sounds and the heater display shows “P”.
Pan Detection
As soon as you lift the pan off the zone
the power is automatically reduced,
helping to save energy.
The above “U” symbol appears when a
zone has been activated but no pan has
been placed on the cook zone,
If the “U” symbol does not disappear
when a pan is placed on the zone it
indicates that the pan is not suitable for
induction cooking.
Note
This means the hob only uses power
when a suitable pan is placed on the
zone, this reduces the energy used
during the cooking process, i.e. when
you take your pan off the zone the hob
automatically reduces the power, and only
switches back on when you replace the
pan.

USING THE HOB
Pans and cookware for induction
hobs.
Pans and Cookware for induction cooking
zones must be made of ferrous mate-
rial such as cast iron and have magnetic
properties. The base must also be of the
correct diameter.
It’s important that good quality flat
bottomed pans are used.
If a pan creates a large air gap over the
middle of the cooking zone, the accuracy
of the temperature sensing can be af-
fected.
Always ensure that pan bases are dry
before using them on the hob.
Get a magnet, if a magnet doesn’t stick to
your pan, it is not suitable for use on the
induction hob.
Beware:- Not all induction pans are of
the same quality due to their construc-
tion. Pans that use enameled/laminated/
encaplusated bases can be difficult to de-
tect, espicialy small pans (e.g. milk pans)
This problem is not with induction hob
but with the pan type, they can have
bases which are magnetic but are
not thick enough! If you experiance
problems with small pans we reccomend
that you to try a larger pan or a pan of a
differnt construction. Solid cast iron pans
give the best performance.

USING THE HOB
Overheat Pan Protection
The hob is equipped with additional
safety systems that help to prevent
cookware from overheating, providing
an additional level of safety not available
on conventional hobs such as gas and
ceramic hobs.
Helps reduce the risk of fire through
misuse use of hob.
If there is an overheat situation the hob
will display the appropriate code detailed
in the “hob status codes table”.

Note:-
The safety temperature control of the
pans is only possible with quality flat bot-
tomed pans suitable for induction cook-
ing; Poor quality pans can create air gaps
between the glass and the pan, which
affects the accuracy of the temperature
control.
Residual Heat Indicators
If glass surface is above 65oC when the
cook zone is switched off an “H “will be
displayed in the cook zone display until
the glass surface drops below approx
55oC.
This feature not only warns you against
hot surfaces but also indicates that there
is residual heat which can be used as
temporary warm zone.
Note:
The cook zone itself does not heat up, but
the ceramic glass does get hot because
of the hot pan conducting heat back onto
the hob glass.

USING THE HOB
Troubleshooting
The hob produces a smell the first
few times it is used.
Heat a pan full of water on each zone for
half an hour.
Pans make a noise during cooking!!
This is caused by vibration due to the pas-
sage of energy from the hob to the pan. On
a high setting this is quite normal for certain
types of saucepan. It will not damage the
hob.
The hob makes a slight clicking
sound
This is caused by the distribution of power
between two heating zones on the same
side of the hob.
The fan keeps working for a few min-
utes after the hob has been turned off.
To cool down the electronics.

USING THE HOB (13 AMP PLUG VERSIONS)
13Amp Plug Operation.
Your hob has been designed to allow you to plug into the mains socket and is suit-
able for a variety of installations not possible with conventional electric hobs, such as
direct replacement for a gas hob without the need to install a 32Amp cooker socket,
thus eliminating the need for an expensive rewire of the kitchen.
How it works
Each time you operate the hob, the total power level of the hob is calculated.
If the total power requested reaches 2.8kW the energy management system warns
you that the limit is reached. Signalled by a letter “r” in the zone window (Lasts for 3
seconds ) and an audible “Beep”. The hob cook zones can be used in any combination
or setting until the 2.8kw power setting is reached. (See Tables Below)
Any further power increase is not allowed!
To use any new zones requires you to reduce the power of one of the other selected
cook zones.

bottom of the hob and appliance.
Wooded dividing panel required if
being fitted above a drawer.
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 at-
tained during pyrolysis, using the hob at
the same time may cause the thermal
safety device within the hob to operate.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Clearances and dimensions – re-
quirements
No shelf or overhang of combustible
material should be closer than 650mm
above the hob.
There must be a minimum clearance of
50mm between the edges of the hob
and any side walls; this clearance must
be maintained up to 420mm above the
worktop.
There must be a minimum clearance of
50mm between the rear edge of the hob
and the rear wall. This clearance must
be maintained up to 650mm above the
worktop.
When installing an extractor hood above
the hob, refer to their Manufacturer’s
instructions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Fitting into worktop
Cut a hole in the work surface to the
required size.
A clearance of at least 50mm should be
maintained between the cutout and any
rear or side wall.
The worktop must be of heat-resistant
material or covered with heat-resistant

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 flush fit.
Conventional Installation
Apply the self adhesive seal to the
underside edges of the hob glass. For
best results, the seal should be adhered
along each side in turn, as close to the
edge as possible, and trimmed at each
corner, taking care to ensure a neat join.
Place the hob in the aperture, checking
the hob glass is covering the work top
along all four sides.
Set the front edge of the appliance paral-
lel with the front of the work top.
Locate and attach the securing clamps
as required, Tighten the screws so that
the hob is pulled down firmly against the
worktop, thus ensuring a good seal.
Recessed Method (selected models)
Recess the work top to the appropriate
depth (Approx 5mm) and shape to fit the
hob (add 1mm to overall glass size.
Apply the self adhesive seal to the
underside of the hob glass. For best
