Using the ceramic hob
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see
“Cleaning and maintenance” section).
oYou should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes
at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new
smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on
the heating elements during transit.
oDo not burn off more than one zone at once.
oYou must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on
each zone as you burn it off. Otherwise the induction zone will
not operate.
Touch controls
oAll operations are performed by means of the touch controls that
can be found on the control panel.
oEach touch control has a visual display that corresponds to it.
Turning the hob on
oPress the ON/OFF button (5)
oThe cooking zone indicators (2) will all read “-”.
Turning on a zone and setting a power level
IMPORTANT: A zone must be selected within 1 minute of turning the
hob on.
oPress the zone selection button
(8) of the cooking zone that you
want to use.
oPress the plus symbol on the zone
power level adjustment control.
The zone indicator (2) will show
power level 5.
11

oPress the plus or minus section of
the zone power level adjustment
control until the zone indicator
shows the power level that you
require.
oIMPORTANT: WHEN MULTIPLE COOKING ZONES ARE
BEING USED. IF THE POWER OUTPUT GOES ABOVE A
CERTAIN LEVEL, THEN THE POWER OF PARTICULAR
ZONES MAY BE REDUCED. THIS DOES NOT INDICATE THAT
YOUR HOB IS FAULTY.
Turning off a zone gradually
oPress the zone selection button
(8) of the cooking zone that you
want to switch off.
Press the minus symbol on the zone
power level adjustment control until
the number in the cooking zone
indicator (2) reaches “0”. After a few
seconds, the zone will switch off
automatically.
oA flashing “H” symbol will show in the cooking zone indicator (2)
until the temperature of the zone falls below 60°C (see the
section on the “residual heat indicator” for further information).
12

Turning off a zone instantly
oPress the zone selection
button (8) of the cooking
zone that you want to
switch off.
oPress the plus and minus sections of the zone power level
adjustment control simultaneously.
oThe zone will switch off immediately.
oA flashing “H” symbol will show in the cooking zone indicator (2)
until the temperature of the zone falls below 60°C (see the
section on the “residual heat indicator” for further information).
Turning the hob off
Once you have switched off all of the cooking zones, you should turn
off the hob.
oPress the ON/OFF button (5).
oIt is possible to turn the hob off at any time by pressing
the ON/OFF button (5).
Residual heat indicator
oAfter a zone is switched off, the corresponding
cooking zone indicator (2) will show a flashing
letter “H”. This means that the temperature of the
zone is over 60°C and is therefore still high enough
to cause injury.
13
oIMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if your
mains supply is cut.

Booster function
The back right zone has a booster function, when this function is
selected, it increases the power output of that particular zone to 2600
watts.
oPress the ON/OFF button (5)
oThe cooking zone indicators (2) will all read “-”.
oPress the zone selection button (8) for the back right
zone and set your desired power level using the zone
power level adjustment control (3).
oPress the booster button (1) and the back
right zone will operate at its highest power
level.
oThe letter “P” will appear in the cooking zone
indicator (2) whilst the booster function is
operating.
oAfter 5 minutes the booster function will cease and the back
right zone will return to the power level that you originally set.
The letter “P” will be replaced by the number of the power level
in the cooking zone indicator (2).
oIf you use the front right zone whilst the booster function is
being used, it will not heat above power level 2.
oIf you wish to cancel the booster function before the 5 minute
time period has elapsed, use the zone selection button for the
back right zone. Then press the booster button (1) again or
press the minus symbol on the zone power level adjustment
control. The zone will return to its original power level.
Pan sensor
Each zone has a sensor on it, so it can detect the presence of a pan.
oThe sensor is fine-tuned to detect a pan being
placed on it. The pan should be one size smaller
than the nominal diameter of the zone.
14

15
oIf the symbol shown above appears on a cooking zone indicator
(2) after you have placed a pan on a cooking zone and selected
it; this means that the pan is either the incorrect size or shape.
Or it could be made from a material that is inappropriate for use
on an induction zone hob.
oIf a cooking zone is selected but no pan is detected, the pan
sensor system will check for the presence of a pan
approximately every few seconds.
oYou should check that your pans are suitable for use on an
induction zone hob (see the pan manufacturer’s trademark or
instructions).

Safety cut-off
oIf 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 power level that a zone or zones
have been set on.
LEVEL TIME LIMIT (hours)
1 – 3 8
4 – 6 4
7 – 9 2
oIf more than one zone is operating when one of the zones
reaches its safety cut-off point, only the zone which has reached
its safety cut off point will switch off.
Hob guidelines
oThe first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
oThe worktop is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre
and power.
oThe positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked
on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on
these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the
same diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
oYou should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
oBefore use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are
clean and dry.
oWhen cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as
they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This
will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
oThe best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of
enameled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich
type bottoms.

oIf these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of
heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread
to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.
oPreferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower
heat.
oAlways cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to
reduce cooking times.
oFood or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob
top if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface. Any
spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not
prevent the hob surface from becoming damaged.
oIMPORTANT: The ceramic hob surface is tough; however it is
not unbreakable and can be damaged. Especially if pointed or
hard objects are allowed to fall on it with some force.
oDO NOT USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE BECOMES BROKEN
OR CRACKED. YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE THINK APPLIANCE
SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning operations must only be carried out
when the hob is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your
mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
Cleaning the ceramic hob top
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning
agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with
water and a little washing up liquid.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface;
you should clean it using water and a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob
surface is still warm. You should take care not to burn yourself if
cleaning the hob surface when it is still warm.
18
