Turning the hob on o Press the ON/OFF button (1) o The cooking zone indicators (4) will all read “0”. o The decimal point symbols (7) will all flash on and off. Turning on a zone and setting a power level IMPORTANT: A zone must be selected within 20 seconds of turning 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.
Turning the dual circuit zones on and off 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. o To turn off the outer section of the dual circuit, press the double hyperspeed zone dual circuit ON/OFF button (5).
Turning off a zone instantly o Press the plus (2) button for 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 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 turn 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 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. o The 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. 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 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. Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface; you should clean it using water and a little washing up liquid.
