Electrical details Rated Voltage: Supply Connection: Max Rated Inputs: Mains Supply Lead: 220-240 Vac 50-60 Hz 30A (double pole switched fused outlet with 3mm contact gap) 5.50 kW 3 core x 4.0 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. The rating plate of your hob is located on the underneath of the appliance.
Control knobs o All operations are performed by means of the 4 control knobs that can be found on the right hand side of the hob top. o The control knobs can be turned either clockwise or anticlockwise to select a heating level. The numbers around the outside of each control knob indicates the power level that you have set the zone to. o A marking next to each control knob indicates which zone that it controls.
Hob guidelines o The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid, burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated use. o The hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre and power. 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 diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning and maintenance 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 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 liquid.
Maintaining the solid plates o If something is spilt onto the plate itself, then it can be removed using a soft brush, plastic or nylon scourer and warm water. o To keep the solid plates in good condition, you should put a little olive oil onto a kitchen towel and rub it onto the surface of the plate. The next time the plate is used, it may produce a little smoke. o Alternatively you can use a hotplate conditioner; these products can normally be found at larger supermarkets and hardware stores.
Positioning The adjacent furniture must be able to withstand a minimum temperature rise of 100°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: 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 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 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.
