INTRODUCTION

BEFORE USING YOUR HOB
• Make sure that you have removed all
packaging, wrappings, stickers and
 lms from the hob surface.
• It is recommended that you clean and
wash the hob surface before using for
the  rst time.
•Solid Plate: Prime and Season the
Hob cast iron elements, refer to
instructions in cleaning section ofthis
book
•Radiant Ceramic: Apply a thin coat
of ceramic hob cleaner to the hob to
help maintain and protect it.
• See the customer care section for
details of how to obtain all the
available cleaning products.

SAFETY
ELECTRIC HOB
Always ensure that pan bases are
dry and  at before using them on the
hob.
Always position pans over the centre
of the heat zone, and turn the handles
to a safe position so they cannot be
knocked or grabbed.
Always use pans which are no smaller
than 100mm (4”), or no larger than
250mm (10”).
Always match the size of pan to the
size heat zone – do not use large
pans on small zones or vice versa.
If the appliance has solidplate
elements, make sure you have primed
and seasoned your hob before using
it for the  rst time - see the Care &
Cleaning section.
If the appliance has a glass hobtop,
make sure you do not drag pans
across the ceramic surface as this will
lead to scratches and damage.
Never use double pans, rim-based
pans, old or misshapen pans, or
any pan that is not stable on a  at
surface.
Never leave cooking fat, or oil,
unattended.
Never use commercial simmering
aids, or heat diffusers, as they create
excessive heat and can damage the
surface of the hob.
Never use the hob for any other
purpose than cooking food.
Plastic cooking utensils can melt if
they come into contact with a warm
hob. Never leave them close to, or on
top of the hob.
Never leave any cook zone on without
a pan covering it. This causes a  re
hazard.
Do not use the hob surface as a
chopping board or food preparation
area, as this may lead to it becoming
damaged.
Do not put metal cooking utensils,
cutlery, knives or other metal objects
on the hob. They could become hot if
they are near a cooking area which is
in use.
If the appliance has solidplate
elements, never leave pan lids or
decorative covers on top of the
elements as any trapped moisture will
lead to corrosion.
If the appliance has a glass hobtop,
never use the hob if the surface is
cracked, broken or shattered. This
creates a high risk of injury. Switch
off the electric supply and call for a
service engineer’s visit.
Lift pans onto and off the hob, rather
than sliding them across the surface,
to avoid marks and scratches.
Please be aware that the surface
of this hob is smooth. If pans are
knocked they will move on the
hob top. Make sure pans are not
overhanging the edge of the hob to
prevent this wherever possible.
Do not stare at the halogen elements
(if  tted). This may impair your
vision.
Do not leave aluminium foil on the
hob top, it re ects heat back into the
element which leads to damage.
Never heat up a sealed tin of food on
the hob, as it may explode.

SAFETY
Fire Safety Advice
Most kitchen  res 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  re in the kitchen,
don’t take any risks - get everyone
out of your home and call the Fire
Brigade.
If a pan catches  re:
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  re blanket, put it over
the pan
4) If you have put the  re out, leave the
pan to cool completely.
Deep-fat frying presents more
dangers in your kitchen.
1) Never  ll a chip pan (or other deep-fat
fryer) more than one-third full of oil
2) Don’t use a  re extinguisher on a pan
of oil - the force of the extinguisher
can spread the  re and create a
 reball.
If you have an electrical  re in the
kitchen:
1) Pull the plug out, or switch off the
power at the fuse box - this may be
enough to stop the  re immediately
2) Smother the  re with a  re blanket,
or use a dry powder or carbon dioxide
extinguisher
3) Remember: never use water on an
electrical or cooking oil  re.

USING THE HOB
When the hob is  rst switched the
controller will illuminate parts of its
displays, accompanied by a beep. This
is the controller testing and calibrating
itself. When this process is complete the
neon adjacent to the lock pad will light,
to indicate the hob is ready for use but
locked for safety.
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 reapply
power
The hob should now complete the
calibration procedure satisfactorily
and lighting such as cooker hoods
can be used normaly.
To switch on
1.Touch and hold the pad denoted with
symbol for 2 seconds. The hob will
beep and the neon adjacent to the pad
will switch off. The hob is now unlocked.
2.Touch and hold the pad marked ON
for 1 second. The hob will beep and all
energy level indicators will display 0.
3.Immediately touch pad |+| for the
element you wish to use. Each touch of
the pad raises the energy level by 1, up
to a maximum of 9. Alternatively the pad
can be held, in which case the energy
level will run up to 9 by itself.
4.To decrease the energy level touch |-|.
5.To set additional elements repeat steps
3 and 4.

USING THE HOB
To switch off
To switch off an individual element, touch
pad |-| until 0 appears or alternatively
touch both energy level adjustment pads
simultaneously.
To switch off the whole hob, hold the
ON pad for 1 second, until the controller
beeps. Alternatively, if all elements and
timer are switched off individually, the
hob will automatically switch itself off
after 10 seconds.
Timer Operation (On certain Models only)
Any element can be selected for use with
the countdown timer, which can either be
used to sound an alarm after a pre-de-
 ned delay or switch the selected element
off. The timer features a maximum dura-
tion of 99 minutes.
Automatic cook stop
1.Touch pad |+|, on the timer controller,
by the symbol. A ‘t’ will appear in
each hotplate control display.
2. Select the hotplate to be timed us-
ing the |+| pad, and set to the desired
energy level.
3.Set the timer to the desired duration.
Once the time period has elapsed the
element will switch off and an alarm will
sound. The alarm can be stopped by
pressing any touch pad.
4.To cancel a countdown duration, either
reduce the time period to ‘0’ using the
|-|pad, or press both |+| and |-| pads
simultaneously.
Alarm Only
1. Set required energy level for elements
required.
2.Touch pad |+|, on the timer controller,
indicated by symbol until the time
duration required is reached.
A ‘t’ will appear in each hotplate control
display. For Alarm only, it is not necessary
to select a hotplate. After 10 seconds the
controller will beep and the displays will
revert to showing energy level.
The alarm will sound once the time has
elapsed, and can be stopped by pressing
any of the touch pads.
3.To cancel an alarm duration, either
reduce the time period to ‘0’ using the
|-| pad, or press both |+|and |-| pads
simultaneously.
Safety Lock
It is possible to lock the element controls
and timer against accidental operation. At
any time during the hobs use, if the pad
marked is touched for 2 seconds
the controls will be locked i.e. they cannot
be adjusted. The lock function is shown
by its neon being illuminated. If the
minute minder is in use at the time, it will
continue to countdown as normal.
Touch the pad marked for 2 seconds
to remove lock
We recommend that the hob is locked
whenever it is not in use, especially if
children are likely to be present.

USING THE HOB
Hob Hot Warning
When each plate is switched off after use,
“H” will  ash on the energy level indica-
tor, to indicate that the plate is still hot.
This will continue until the hob glass has
cooled suf ciently to be safe to touch.
If the hob is switched off before the glass
has cooled suf ciently, the “H” will be
displayed continuously. This indicates to
the user that the hob still retains heat fol-
lowing use. The “H” will go out when the
hob surface has cooled suf ciently to be
safe to touch.
CAUTION! If the electricity supply to
the hob is interrupted or switched
off following use, the H hob hot
indicators will not appear when
the electricity supply is reinstated,
despite the elements still being dan-
gerously hot to touch.
Boost Function (On certain Models only)
The hob features a boost facility which
enables pans to be brought up to tem-
perature quickly with maximum power,
before dropping to a lower energy setting
automatically. It is activated as follows,
To Activate
1.Switch on hob, as described previously.
Touch pad |+| repeatedly until 9. ap-
pears.
The dot indicates that the boost function
is activated.
2.Touch pad |-| to reduce energy level
to desired cooking energy level. It can
be noted that the dot continues to be
illuminated.
If an energy level less than 6 is selected,
the boost function assumes a saucepan
of liquid is to be simmered, so stays on
full power for up to 7 minutes (depen-
dant on setting) to bring the  uid to the
boil quickly. If an energy level above and
including 6 is selected, the boost function
operates for less time, as if only a frying
pan was being heated. As a guide, when
energy level 7 or 8 is selected the boost
function will run for around 3 minutes.
If no lower energy level is selected, the
hob will resume normal operation, indi-
cated by the dot switching off.
The table below should serve as an indi-
cation for suitable cooking energy levels.

CLEANING
ELECTRIC HOB
Ceramic glass hobs
• The ceramic hob top can be cleaned
using a clean, damp cloth or kitchen
paper. Please ensure that the
elements are cooled fully to avoid
steam burns.
• You can 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.
• For stubborn marks, a specialist hob
scraper can be used.
• Do not use steam cleaners.
• Regular cleaning will prevent any salts
or minerals from accumulating on
your hob and discolouring the glass.
• Wipe any spillage as soon as possible.
• Clean the hob top as regularly as pos-
sible, this will prevent any build up of
grease which may be a  re hazard.
Solid plate hobs
• Prime and Season - this helps
maintain the  nish of the elements.
• Use a damp, clean cloth to wipe
the solid plate, making sure that
you follow the circular grooves and
avoid damaging the red spots. Make
sure that you allow the hotplate to
dry before use by switching on the
elements at a low heat.
• You can restore the hotplates by using
a solid plate cleaner but take care to
avoid the red spots on elements.
•To prime: Switch on each element in
turn for a short while (with no pan on
it) at a medium - high setting. This
will harden and burn off the coating.
•To season: Heat the element for 30
seconds at a medium setting then
switch off. Use a minimum amount of
unsalted vegetable oil, on a dry cloth
or paper towel, and apply a thin coat
of oil to the element surface. Wipe off
the excess and heat the element for
one minute.
