Residual heat indicator o After a zone is switched off, the corresponding cooking zone indicator 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 IMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if your mains supply is cut. Pan sensor Each zone has a sensor on it, so it can detect the presence of a pan. o The sensor is fine-tuned to detect a pan being placed on it.
o Certain types of cookware may result in a noise being made when being used on an induction zone hob.

Safety cut-off o Based on the power level, each cooking zone is shut off after a maximum preset time if no operations are performed such as a change of power level. o In principle, the way induction works is intrinsically safe.
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. o If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of heat and energy.
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 and a little washing up liquid.
Using a ceramic hob scraper A ceramic hob scraper will be provided with your appliance. The following guidelines should 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 and a small amount of washing up liquid. o Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.
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 45 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.
Unpacking the appliance When unpacking the appliance please check that the following items are contained within the packaging:1 1 1 1 4 4 Baumatic hob Ceramic hob scraper Installation and instruction manual Warranty card Fixing brackets Fixing screws 24
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.
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 Carefully turn the hob back over and then gently lower it into the aperture hole that you have cut out. o There are holes on the base or the sides of the hob that you can fix the four brackets to. There are three holes in each one of the brackets. o You should place the bracket on the underneath of the hob, in a position that is appropriate for the aperture that you have cut out. Using the screws provided, fix the bracket to the hob. These screws MUST be securely tightened.
Connecting the mains supply cable o The mains terminal block is located on the underside of the hob and the terminals are accessible by removing the terminal block cover by removing the cover screw. o The brass links must be positioned as marked in the appropriate diagram and once established ALL terminal screws must be tightened down firmly. 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 between the links.
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 27. o The “green-yellow” earth wire must be connected to the terminal marked . It must be about 10 mm longer than the live and neutral wires. o The “blue” neutral wire must be connected to the terminal marked with letter (N) - the live wire must be connected to the terminal marked with letter (L).
o A humming sound is heard when a cooking zone is selected. * This is normal; the sound will disappear when the zone heats up. o The cooking zones have become discoloured. * This maybe caused by burnt on remnants of food. This will not affect the working of the appliance. However you should make sure that the cleaning instructions are being followed regularly. o Only two of the zones on my hob are working * You should recheck that the terminal screws are all fully tightened between the links.
