OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
USING HEATING PLATES:
Turn corresponding knob for selected plate clockwise, the plate indicator light will show
the plate is on. Once cooking is completed, turn off the plate by turning the knob to ‘’0’’
position.
Caution:The plate will remain hot for a few minutes.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
At first use, switch on the hot plate at position 3, for 5 minutes, to burn off the excess
protection coating.
Smoke and smell may emit for a couple of hours during the initial operation. This is
normal. Ensure that the room is well ventilated to remove the smoke and smell. Avoid
direct inhaling of the smoke and the smell that emits.
If any liquid is spilled on the plate while in use, wipe it off as soon as possible.
Never scrub the plate with harsh scouring powders, detergents or agents. Never use
steel wool on the plate.
Do not let moisture lie on a cold plate, wipe it off and switch the plate on for a few
minutes so that it can dry thoroughly.
Try to use all the plates regularly as an infrequently used plate tends to corrode. If
these precautions are taken, no undue rusting of the stove should be experienced,

even under coastal conditions.
Use a flat pan with the same base diameter as the plate.
Do not put anything between hot plate and pan.
After using the plate, once it cools, clean the surface with a wet cloth Do not use
abrasive cleaning materials.
Treat the plates with a small amount of clean vegetable oil to prevent rust.
USING CERAMIC HOB
Each heating element has a corresponding residual heat indicator light. This light
switches on automatically when the temperature of the corresponding cooking zone
exceeds 60℃. Once a cooking zone has been turned off, the corresponding residual
light will stay on until the cooking zone has cooled down to 60℃.
WARNING!
During this time avoid touching the cooking zone and take precautions to ensure
children cannot touch the cooking zone.
IMPORTANT!
Kitchen cupboards adjacent to the appliance i.e., synthetic laminates, adhesives and
surrounding edges should be able to withstand temperatures up to 1200Cwithout
discolouring or delaminating.
For adequate ventilation, a 50mm-60mm space is required between the rear of the
hob and the cabinet. An air vent hole is required in the cabinet
For adequate ventilation, a minimum space of 30mm is required between the upper
part of the oven and the bottom of the HOB. There needs to be a vent hole in the
front of the cabinet.
A gasket seal must be placed between the HOB and the counter to prevent ablation
of the counter surface (solid plate hob only).
The warranty does not cover the replacement or repair of rusted or corroded solid
plates. It is the owner’s responsibility to care for them as described above.
NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
Before switching on, check which knob controls the desired cooking zone. It is
best to place the pot or pan on the cooking zone before switching on, and remove
it only after switching off.
Use only flat-bottomed pans/pots with a regular surface (caution must be taken
with cast iron pans). Irregular bottoms can scratch and damage the glass-ceramic
7

surface. Never use aluminum pots on the ceramic hob. Check that the bottom of
the pan / pot is clean and dry.
Recommended base thickness is 2-3mm for enameled steel and 4-6mm for
stainless steel bottom.
Never cook food directly on the glass-ceramic cooktop; always use suitable pots.
Be extra cautious as the cooking zones remain hot directly after the plates have
been switched off.
Residual heat indicator light will remain on until cooking zones has sufficiently
cooled down to prevent burns and injuries.
It also helps to save energy as it shows which cooking zones have enough residual
heat left for further cooking at a low temperature or to keep a dish warm
Do not use the cooktop if the surface is broken or damaged
Do not allow heavy or sharp objects to fall on the glass-ceramic cooktop.
CAUTION! Never use the hob as a heater!
HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Using energy in a responsible way not only saves money, but also helps the
environment. Save energy! This is how you can do it:
Use proper pans for cooking.
oPans with thick, flat bases can save up to 33% on electric energy.
Remember to cover pans with a lid, if possible, as uncovered pans use four
times as much energy!
Match the size of the saucepan to the surface of the heating plates.
oA saucepan should never be smaller than a heating plate.
Ensure heating plates and pan bases are clean.
Soiled bases prevent heat transfer and repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often only
be removed with products which cause damage to the environment.
Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched pot never boils!).
oFor long cooking times, switch off heating zones 5 to 10 minutes before
cooking is completed. This saves up to 20% on energy.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Adequate cleaning and regular maintenance of the hob can have a major influence
on the continuing fault free operation of the appliance.
CAUTION!
Do not use cleaning products containing abrasive materials for the cleaning and
maintenance of the glass front panel.
Do not use any abrasives, steel wool, chloride, etc., to clean the enameled surfaces.
Simply wipe with a damp cloth while the surface is still warm or use one of the
leading brands of hob-enamel cleaners on the market.
CLEANING THE HOB PLATES
 For light soiling and everyday cleaning simply wipe with a moist cloth.
9
WARNING!
Before cleaning, the hob must be switched off and all knobs must be
set to the “0” position.
Do not start cleaning until the hob has completely cooled.

 For dirty hotplates use a commercial cleaner.
 To completely remove the cleaner and dry the hotplate, run the element for a short
time.
 After cleaning and drying the plates, oil each plate with a thin coating of vegetable
oil or a suitable commercial product.
 Some discoloration of the trim ring is normal during use.
CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB
 Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob remains
in good condition.
 Spillage (especially sugar solution such as jam) should be wiped off immediately with
a damp cloth while the hob is still warm.
 If necessary, stubborn spills may be removed using a blade scraper and smooth top
cleaner (Scraper can be purchased from most Hardware and Retail Stores).
 Clean the hob with a damped cloth and ‘Smooth top cleaner’.
 Wipe the hob surrounds with a hot soapy cloth and dry thoroughly.
