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. 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. o Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower heat. o Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to reduce cooking times.
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 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 Carefully turn the hob back over and then gently lower it into the aperture hole that you have cut out.
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. Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the supply voltage marked on the rating plate corresponds with your mains supply voltage. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
o The cable connections must be in accordance with the diagram located on the bottom of the hob (see above). o You should use a good quality screwdriver to carefully, fully tighten ALL of the terminal screws. o If when the hob is first switched on, only two of the zones work, you should recheck that the terminal screws are all fully tightened. This should be done before contacting the Baumatic Service Department.
Replacing the mains supply cable If the mains supply cable is damaged, then it must be replaced by an appropriate replacement. The mains supply cable should be replaced in accordance with the following instructions: o Switch the appliance off at the control switch. o Open the terminal block on the underside of the hob. o Unscrew the terminal screws fixing the cable. o Replace the cable with one of the same length and in accordance with the specification given on page 22.
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 Baumatic Service Department. o A humming sound is heard when a cooking zone is selected. * This is normal; the sound will disappear when the zone heats up.
