Touch controls o All operations are performed by means of the touch controls that can be found on the control panel. o Each touch control has a visual display that corresponds to it. Switching the hob top on o Press the ON/OFF button (1) to switch on the appliance. o All of the cooking zone indicators will light briefly then go out. o This means that the hob has entered stand-by mode. Switching on a zone and setting a power level IMPORTANT: A zone must be selected within 2 minutes of switching the hob on.
Switching off a zone o Press the cooking zone selection button (2) of the zone that you want to switch off. o Hold the minus button (3) down until the number in the cooking zone indicator reaches “0”. After a few seconds, the zone will switch off automatically. o Alternatively you can press the plus (2) and minus (3) buttons simultaneously to set the power level back to “0”.
Residual heat indicator o After a zone is switched off, the corresponding cooking zone indicator (5) will show a flashing letter “H”. This means that the temperature of the zone is over 60°C and is therefore still high enough to cause injury. o When the temperature of the zone falls below 60°C, then the letter “H” will go out. o IMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if the mains supply to the product is cut.
o If you wish to activate the outer section as well, you should press the dual cooking zone ON/OFF button (6). A neon above the button will light. o To switch the outer section off, you should press the dual cooking zone ON/Off button again. The neon above the button will go out and the outer section will go off. o To switch off the zone after use, press the cooking zone selection button (2) of the dual cooking zone.
The hob timer Your hob has a timer which will countdown a period of time between 1 and 99 minutes. At the end of the countdown period an audible signal will sound. o When the touch control is switched off the timer function can be activated using the timer button (7). Use the plus (2) and minus buttons (3) to set the countdown time. o The timer display will show the countdown time that is being set. o If the set time exceeds 99 minutes, the timer display will return to showing 0.
Setting a countdown time o Press the ON/OFF button (1) to switch on the appliance. o Press the cooking zone plus button (2) of the zone that you want to use. o Adjust the zone between power levels 1 and 9, using the plus (2) and minus (3) buttons. By holding down either of these buttons, the value on the zone indicator (5) will adjust up or down. o Press the timer button (7) and the timer display (8) will flash. o Set the countdown time that you require, using the plus (2) and minus (3) buttons.
Safety cut-off o When the control panel detects an ambient temperature greater than 95°C it will shut off all the cooking zones. o A cooking zone that has been shut off by the thermal protection can only be used again when the temperature drops below 95°C. IMPORTANT: The hob will still be dangerously hot even after it is usable again. Automatic switch-off function o Based on the power level, each cooking zone is shut off after a maximum preset time if no buttons are pressed.
o When the automatic heating function is complete, the display will show the selected power level and the cooking zone will be working to the full capacity of that power level.
o The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the same diameter as the cooking zone that they are being used on. 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.
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. Materials and glues used for the kitchen cabinets must be able to withstand a temperature of at least 100°C. 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.
Installing the appliance o Cut a hole in the worktop that corresponds with the drawing shown above. o If the hob is being installed without an oven below it, a separator panel must be placed between the bottom of the hob and the housing below it, at a minimum distance of 10 mm. o If the hob is being installed with an oven below it, place a separator panel at a minimum distance of 15 mm and follow the oven manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring that sufficient aeration is provided.
F = 10 mm (min) H = 50 mm (min) G = 15 mm (min) C = 30 mm (min) D = 120 cm² E = 180 cm² o Carefully turn the hob upside down and place it on a cushioned mat. o Apply the sealing strip (A) 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.
(A) (B) (C) Sealing strip Clamp Screw o Place the clamp (B) over the holes that match the size of the screws. There are one set of screw holes in each corner of the hob. Slightly tighten a screw (C) through the clamp (B) so that the clamp is attached to the hob, but so that you can still adjust the position of it. o Carefully turn the hob back over and then gently lower it into the aperture hole that you have cut out.
o This appliance must be wired into a 35 A double pole switched fused spur outlet, having 3 mm contact separation and placed in an easily accessible position adjacent to the appliance. It should not be located above the appliance and no more than 1.25m away from it. o The spur outlet must still be accessible even when your hob is located in its operating position.
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 instructions on the next page: o Switch the appliance off at the socket. 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 26.
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 A humming sound is heard when a cooking zone is selected. * This is normal; the sound will disappear when the zone heats up.
IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be operating correctly, then you should disconnect it from your mains supply and then contact the Customer Care Department on telephone number (0118) 933 6911. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE APPLIANCE YOURSELF. Please note that if an engineer is asked to attend whilst the product is under guarantee and finds that the problem is not the result of an appliance fault, then you may be liable for the cost of the call out charge.
