Ceramic hob cooking zones
To switch on a cooking zone, turn the relevant
control knob to the required heat setting.
The control knob is numbered 0 - 6
0 - OFF
6 - Maximum.
We recommend the plates are switched to maximum
(6) for a short while to boost the cooking zone, and
then adjusted to the required setting.
Residual heat indicators
The hob is fitted with four residual heat indicators
corresponding to each cooking zone.
The corresponding indicator will remain on until the
temperature falls below 30°C, even after the cooking
zone is switched off.
When switching on a cooking zone, a short
buzzing may be heard. This is quite normal
and does not affect the hob operation in any
way.
Operation
i
If scratches or cracks are noticed, disconnect
the cooker from the electrical supply and call
you nearest Tricity Bendix Service Force
Centre.
Keep all objects and materials which can
melt away from the cooking surface, e.g.
plastics, aluminium foil.
Care should be taken when preparing food or
drinks containing sugar. If anything of this
nature accidentally comes into contact with
the ceramic surface it must be scraped off
immediately while stlll hot and wiped away
to avoid damage to the surface.
Suggestions for the correct setting of the cooking
zones are given in the following table.
OFF 0
Very Gentle 1To keep food warm
To melt butter and chocolate
Gentle 2To prepare cream-sauces,
stews and milk puddings
or to fry eggs
Slow 3Dried vegetables, frozen
food, fruit, boiling water
or milk
Medium 4Boiled potatoes, fresh
vegetables, pâtés, soups,
broths, pancakes or fish
High 5Larger stews, meat roll, fish,
omelettes, steaks
Fast 6Steaks, escalopes and frying.

Energy consumption
To save energy, you should . .
- use only cooking and frying utensils with smooth,
flat bottoms.
- place pots and pans in position before switching
on the cooking zone.
- wherever possible, cover pots and pans with a lid.
- switch off the cooking zone a few minutes before
the end of the cooking time, in order to make use
of the residual heat.
- use the residual heat of the cooking zones for
keeping food warm or for melting.
- position pots and pans centrally on the cooking
zones.
Saucepans and frying pans
Saucepans and frying pans should not be smaller than
the cooking zone, and preferably not more than 10-15
mm larger than the diameter of the cooking zone.
Always use cooking and frying utensils with smooth,
flat bottoms.
The bottoms should always be clean and dry. Cook
with a lid in place.
Check that the bases of utensils are smooth and
undamaged; bases with burrs and sharp edges will
scratch the ceramic glass surface.
To avoid scratching or damaging the ceramic cooking
surface, pots and pans should be moved on the plate
by lifting them, and not by sliding.
Utensils with aluminium and copper bases can leave
behind metallic discolorations which can only be
removed with difficulty or sometimes not at all.

Before the First Use of the Cooker
Remove all packaging, both inside and
outside the oven, before using the oven.
Before first use, the oven should be heated without
food. During this time, an unpleasant odour may be
emitted. This is quite normal.
☞1. Set the oven function control knob to
MAX.
2. Open a window for ventilation.
3. Allow the oven to run empty for
approximately 45 minutes.
This procedure should be repeated with the grill
function for approximately 5-10 minutes.
Using the ceramic hob for the first
time
The cooking surface should be cleaned before use to
remove any traces of the production process.
Wipe the ceramic surface and frame with a
damp cloth using warm water to which a little
washing up liquid has been added, and wipe
dry.
Heating up for the first time
To check the cooking zones, briefly switch
each one on.
☞
☞
Using the Oven
• Always cook with the oven door closed.
• Stand clear when opening the drop
down oven door. Do not allow it to fall
open - support the door using the door
handle, until it is fully open.
• The oven has four shelf levels, and is
supplied with two shelves.
The shelf positions are counted from the
bottom of the oven as shown in the
diagram.
It is important that these shelves are
correctly positioned as shown in the
diagram.
• Do not place cookware directly on the
oven base.

Cookware
• Use any oven proof cookware which will
withstand temperatures of 250°C.
• Baking trays, oven dishes, etc. should not be
placed directly against the grid covering the fan at
the back of the oven, or placed on the oven base.
• Do not use baking trays larger than 30 cm x 35 cm
(12 in x 14 in) as they will restrict the circulation
of heat and may affect performance.
The effects of dishes
on cooking results
Dishes and tins vary in their thickness, conductivity,
colour, etc. which affects the way they transmit heat
to the food inside them.
AAluminium, earthenware, oven glassware and
bright shiny utensils reduce cooking and
underneath browning.
BEnamelled cast iron, anodized aluminium,
aluminium with non-stick interior and coloured
exterior and dark, heavy utensils increase cooking
and underneath browning.
Condensation and steam
When food is heated it produces steam in the same
way as a boiling kettle. The oven vents allow some of
this steam to escape. However, always stand back
from the oven when opening the oven door to
allow any build up of steam or heat to release.
If the steam comes into contact with a cool surface on
the outside of the oven, e.g. a trim, it will condense
and produce water droplets. This is quite normal and
is not a fault with the oven.
To prevent discoloration, regularly wipe away
condensation and also soilage from surfaces.

Hints andTips
Storage Drawer
The storage drawer is located underneath the oven
cavity.
During cooking the storage drawer may
become hot if the oven is on high for a long
period of time, therefore flammable materials
such as oven gloves, tea towels, plastic aprons
etc. should not be stored in the drawer.
Oven accessories such as baking sheets, will
also become hot, therefore care should be
taken when removing these items from the
drawer whilst the oven is in use or still hot.
