Using the ceramic hob Before first use IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see “Cleaning and maintenance” section). o You 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. o Do not burn off more than one zone at once. o You must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on each zone as you burn it off.
Switching on a zone and setting a power level IMPORTANT: A zone must be selected within 20 seconds of switching the hob on. o Press the plus (2) button to select the zone that you want to use. o A fixed decimal point symbol (7) will appear in the cooking zone indicator (4) of the zone that you are controlling. o Adjust the zone between power levels 1 and 9, using the plus (2) and minus (3) button. By holding down either of these buttons, the value on the zone indicator (4) will adjust up or down every 0.
Switching the dual circuit zone on and off (BF14.1M) The double hyperspeed zone has two cooking areas that you can use, a central section and an outer section. You can use the central section (A) independently or both sections (B) at once. o Adjust the double hyperspeed zone between power levels 1 and 9, using the plus (2) and minus (3) button. o Both sections of the dual circuit zone will switch on.
Switching off a zone instantly o Press the plus (2) button for the zone that you want to switch off. o A fixed decimal point symbol (7) will appear in the cooking zone indicator (4) of the zone that you are controlling. o Press the plus (2) and minus button (3) simultaneously. o The zone will switch off immediately. o If all of the cooking zones are set to “0”, then a decimal point symbol (7) will appear in each of the cooking zone indicators (4).
Residual heat indicator o When a zone is switched off, a few seconds later the corresponding cooking zone indicator (4) will show the letter “H”. This means that the temperature of the zone is over 60°C and is therefore high enough to cause injury. o If no other zones are switched on, then “0” will alternate with the letter “H” in the cooking zone indicator (4). o If another zone is in use, then a fixed letter “H” will appear in the cooking zone indicator (4).
Switching off the safety lock temporarily You can temporarily switch off the safety lock, so you can use the hob zones. o To temporarily switch off the safety lock feature, you should switch on the hob using the ON/OFF button (1) and then press the front right hob zone plus button (2) and the minus button (3) simultaneously. o All of the cooking zone indicators (4) will show zero and the decimal point symbol (7) will flash. You will then be able to adjust the power of any zone on the hob top.
o When cold, the base 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. o The best thickness for the base of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bases. o If 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.
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 warm water mixed with a little washing up liquid.
Using a ceramic hob scraper Your appliance will be provided with a hob scraper. The following guidelines should also be followed when using the ceramic hob scraper:- o The scraper should be placed on the ceramic surface at an angle. o Residues should be removed by sliding the blade carefully over the ceramic surface. o The ceramic surface should be wiped with a damp cloth that has been placed in warm water mixed with a small amount of washing up liquid.
Installation The installation must be carried out by a suitably qualified person, in accordance with the current version of the following. o UK Regulations and Safety Standards or their European Norm Replacements. o Building Regulations (issued by the Department of the Environment). o Building Standards (issued by the Scottish Development Department). o IEE Wiring Regulations. o Electricity At Work Regulations.
Unpacking the appliance When unpacking the appliance please check that the following items are contained within the packaging: 1 1 1 1 4 4 1 Baumatic hob Ceramic hob scraper Installation and instruction manual Baumatic guarantee card Fixing brackets Fixing screws Sealing strip Installing the appliance o Cut a hole in the worktop that corresponds with the drawings shown above. o IMPORTANT: You must have a gap of at least 25 mm between the underneath of the appliance and any surface that is below it.
o Carefully turn the hob upside down and place it on a cushioned mat. o Apply the sealing strip provided around the edge of the appliance. o The protective covering must be removed from both sides. o Do not leave a gap in the sealing agent or overlap the thickness. o IMPORTANT: Do not use a silicon sealant to seal the appliance against the aperture. This will make it difficult to remove the hob from the aperture in future, particularly if it needs to be serviced.
o On the underneath of the hob, locate the fixing brackets (B) and turn them so that they locate on the underneath of the worktop and the hob. o Fully tighten the screws (C) to secure the hob into position. Electrical connection This appliance must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the latest edition of the I.E.E. Regulations and in compliance with Baumatic’s instructions.
o The cable connections must be in accordance with the diagram located on the bottom of the hob (see opposite). o The brass links must be positioned as marked in the appropriate diagram. o Carefully insert a screwdriver into the hole for the live connection (as shown in the diagram above). Gently press the screwdriver downwards and outwards to create a space and then feed the live cable into it.
o The cable can be looped if necessary, but make sure that is not kinked or trapped when the hob is in position. Care must be taken to avoid the cable being in contact with hot parts of the appliance. Replacing the mains supply cable If the mains supply cable is damaged, then it must be replaced by an appropriate replacement which can be obtained from the Baumatic Spares Department.
* Check that the mains electrical supply to the appliance is correct and working. Check the mains fuse. o The residual heat indicator has not come on after I have switched a cooking zone off. * The cooking zone has only been turned on for a short period of time; therefore it did not go above 60°C. * IMPORTANT: If the cooking zone does appear to be hotter than 60°C and the residual heat indicator has not come on, you should call the Customer Care Department.
o If the appliance is switched on using the ON/OFF button (1) and no cooking zone is activated. After 20 seconds the hob will switch itself off automatically. o If an object is accidentally placed on the control panel when the hob is not switched on, it will not be possible to switch the appliance on using the ON/OFF button (1) until you remove the object from the control panel.
