Electrical installation (Model U305-1 only)
Insert the plug into a 230V 16A, earthed wall socket. The stove is a plug-in model with
a 16A power supply. It is therefore not possible to use all the plates and oven at the
same time. Set the selector to the required position. Do not set the knob to the
unmarked position.
Remove the cover and stove from the packaging, and position the stove on a hard,
even floor (do not put the stove on a base.)
Coating or veneer used on fitted furniture must be applied with a heat resistant
adhesive (100℃). This prevents surface deformation or detachment of the coating.
If you are unsure of your furniture’s heat resistance, leave approximately 25mm of
free space around the cooker. The wall behind the cooker should be resistant to high
temperatures. The back of the stove can warm up to approximately 50℃above the
ambient temperature when in use.

NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
At first use, switch on the hot plate at position 3 for 5 minutes, to burn off the
excess protection material.
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

12
WARNING!
When using the pre-heating function, it is recommended that the oven door is closed.
When the grill is in use, accessible parts can become hot - Keep children away from the
oven.
For Plug-in Model U305-1
All three plates will function provided the bake or grill function for the oven is NOT
selected. (See Page 6)
If either bake or grill is selected, the large plate is automatically switched off.
The oven will either bake or grill depending on your selection but will not bake and
grill simultaneously.
To bake, turn the thermostat to the required temperature and select bake on the
selector switch.
To grill, turn the selector switch to grill, the grill element will come on.
Plates may be wiped with a thin layer of cooking oil after use to prevent rusting.
Set all switches to ‘0’ position when not in use.
For 500mm Stove Range
Turn the control switches to ‘0’ position when plates are not in use.
To operate the oven, turn the temperature control knob to the desired setting. When
the pilot light goes out, the oven has reached the desired temperature. The pilot light
will continue to go on and off during the period of use in a set temperature range.
To grill, turn the temperature control knob until it reaches “Grill”.
For 600mm Ceramic Hob Only
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR (HOT SURFACE INDICATOR)
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℃.

13
During this time avoid touching the cooking zone and take precautions to ensure
children cannot touch the cooking zone.
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
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 with a sandwich bottom.
Never cook food directly on the glass-ceramic cooktop; always use suitable pots.
Be extra cautious as the cooking zones remain hot even once 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 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
If there is a crack on the cooktop, disconnect the appliance from the mains break
immediately and contact After-Sales Service.
Do not allow heavy or sharp objects to fall on the glass-ceramic cooktop.

14
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, otherwise you will 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.
oSoils can prevent heat transfer-and repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often
only be removed by products which cause damage to the environment.
Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched pot never boils!).
oDo not open the oven door unnecessarily.
Switch off the oven in good time and make use of residual heat.
oFor long cooking times, switch off heating zones 5 to 10 minutes before
cooking is completed. This saves up to 20% on energy.
