Electrical details Rated Voltage: Supply Connection: Max Rated Inputs: Mains Supply Lead: 220-240, Vac 50-60 Hz 20A (double pole switched fused outlet with 3mm contact gap) 3.60 kW 3 core x 1.5 mm² (not supplied) For future reference please record the following information which can be found on the rating plate and the date of purchase which can be found on your sales invoice.

Ceramic hob surface layout A B C = 1.80 kW hyper-speed zone (Ø 200 mm) = 1.20 kW hyper-speed zone (Ø 165 mm) = Control knobs 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.
Control knobs o All operations are performed by means of the 2 control knobs that can be found at the front of the hob top. o The control knob should be turned clockwise to select a heating level. The markings around the outside of each control knob indicate the power level that you have set the zone to. o A marking above each control knob, indicates which zone that it controls.
Residual heat indicators o Next to of each control knob, there is a residual heat indicator. o After switching a cooking zone on, when the temperature of goes above 60°C the corresponding residual heat indicator neon will come on. o After switching a cooking zone off, the residual heat indicator neon will stay. This means that the zone has not been switched off for more than 35 minutes since last use. Therefore it is more likely that the temperature of the zone will still be hot enough to cause injury.
o You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch the ceramic surface. o Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean and dry. 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 enamelled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich type bottoms.
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.
Positioning The adjacent furniture must be able to withstand a minimum temperature rise of 85°C above the ambient temperature of the room it is located in, during periods of use. This appliance is classified as Class 3 and therefore is to be built into a kitchen unit (depending on size) or 600 mm worktop that is at least 30 mm thick. The following minimum clearance distances must be observed:o 700 mm between the hob surface and the underside of any horizontal surface above it.
Installing the appliance o Cut a hole in the worktop that corresponds with the drawing shown above. o IMPORTANT: You must observe the ventilation requirements shown in the drawing opposite.
o IMPORTANT: There are ventilation holes around the outside of the hob. YOU MUST ensure that these holes are not blocked by the work top, when you put the hob into position (see drawing opposite). o Carefully turn the hob upside down and place it on a cushioned mat. 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 The supplied brackets need to be fitted to each of the four corners on the underside of the hob. o Place a bracket onto each corner, ensuring that the outer hole lines up with the hole on the corner of the hob. o Fasten the bracket to the corner of the hob with a screw. o Place the long screw into the fixing hole on the outer edge of the bracket but do not fully tighten. o Carefully turn the hob back over and then gently lower it into the aperture hole that you have cut out.
