Important to know
Service and repair may only be performed by the distributor, or by a service organization approved by the distributor. Only repair parts delivered by the distributor may be used.
Please read the warranty.
Avoid pinching the cable.
The hob unit is intended for ordinary household cooking purposes. Any other use can result in damage to the unit as well as personal injury.
Use only pots and pans with a rigid, even contact surface - uneven contact surface results not only in poor heat conduction, but also increases the risk of dangerous spills.
During deep-fat frying, sauteeing, melting of butter, etc., one must always remain near the unit, due to the danger of fire. In the event of fire the unit must be shut off immediately (and the cooker hood as well, if in use).
Make sure that the unit is shut off when not in use - the knob should rest at “0”.
The unit becomes dangerously hot during use, and remain so for a period of time. They should therefore be treated with due respect. Keep children at a distance.
For safety's sake, turn pots and pans so that handles do not protrude, thus inviting accidents.
Never place plastic or paper, etc., on the unit. If the unit should be switched on by accident, the paper could burn, plastic melt, etc.
For hygienic and safety reasons the unit must be kept clean. Grease, oil and food spills create unpleasant odours when burnt, and can in some cases result in open flames.
Read - and adhere to - the users instructions, as well as any instructions and warnings printed on the labels of the cleaning agents used.
Help to avoid accidents; if the unit should ever be discarded, render it useless by removing the cable, or by cutting the cable as close to the unit as possible.
Areas if use
The hob is only intended for normal household use. It is important that you follow the advice given in these instructions in order to avoid any risk of damage to persons and objects. Used for any other purpose invalidates the guarantee as well as product liability.

Maintenance and cleaning
Use Proper Cooking Utensils
Make the most of your new ceramic­top hob unit by using proper utensils of a good quality. Only pots and pans which are expressly intended for use on ceramic­top hob units may be used. Utensils must, as a minimum, cover the entire circle which represents a given burner. The underside, or bottom, of the utensil must form a flat, even surface. Ensure that both contact surfaces - the utensil as well as the hob units - are absolutly dry.
Utensils with enamelled bottoms cause excessive wear on the decorative pattern of the ceramic surface. Utensils with painted bottoms must not be used, as the paint can be transferred to the ceramic surface, where it will stick permanently, causing a pocked surface.
Warning!
Utensils with aluminium bottoms can cause light spots on the ceramic surface. These can be removed with the cleaning agent supplied with the unit.
Cleaning of the ceramic surface
The ceramic surface must be cleaned each time that the unit has been in use. Use a clean cloth, which has been dipped in warm, soapy water
8
(use liqud AJAX or other diswashing liquid), and well wrung. All spills must be cleaned up immediately, while the burner is still warm. Use the cleaning agent supplied with the unit.
Remove spots caused by utensils with aluminium bottoms, or burned grease, by polishing with the cleaning agent supplied with the unit. In extreme cases polishing may have to be repeated several times in order to remove the blemish entirely.
After clean-up of any of the burners, the entire ceramic surface should be polished, using the cleaning agent supplied with the unit.
Cleaning of borders and edges
All borders and edges, including the front control panel, should be cleaned in the same manner, and with the same cleaning agent for example, liquid AJAX, as the ceramic surface.
Warning!
Never use scouring powder, scouring sponges, steel wool, or any other cleaning agent, which can scratch the ceramic surface.

Tips on the use of the
ceramic hob unit
Do not slide saucepans across the surface of the hob - always lift the pan when placing it on, or removing it from the ceramic surface.
Wipe the bottom surface of the pots and pans with a clean dry cloth before placing them on the ceramic surface. This helps to reduce cleaning and prevents scratching the hob glass.
Wipe off spills whilst the hob is warm.
Select the highest setting for the cooking zones until the food is brought to the boil, then reduce the setting.
Use saucepans with an even base. An uneven based saucepan may increase the electricity consumption by up to 50%.
The saucepan should match the cooking zone or be slightly larger.
Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan to reduce electricity consumption.
10
The decorative pattern on the ceramic surface can become scratched and marred with use, depending upon maintenance, but does not adversely affect performance.
Such blemishes are not covered by the warranty and do not affect the operation of the hob.
Spills and melts must be removed immediately, while the surface is still warm, using the scraper supplied with the unit. Especially damaging are melted plastic, aluminum, or any foodstuff containing sugar, including natural sugar, as these can create permanent pockmarks and craters on the ceramic surface. After scraping polish thoroughly with the cleaning agent supplied with the unit. Utensils which have been in contact with the above-mentioned melted materials must be cleaned throughly before used again on the ceramic-top hob unit.
Defects in the ceramic surface which can be related to the above are not covered by the warranty.
Warning:
Aluminum foil and plastic utensils are not to be placed on hot surfaces. The surface may not be used for storage.
Do not stare at the heating units when in operation.

Deep fat frying
For safety purposes, when deep fat frying, fill the pan 1/3 full of oil. Do
not cover the pan with a lid and do not leave the pan unattended.
In the event of a fire, switch off at the electricity supply and cover the pan with a lid or damp cloth to assist in smothering the flames. Do not use water on the fire. Leave the pan to cool for at least 30 minutes before moving it.
Do not leave the fat or oil in the frying pan on the hob to store it in case the hob is inadvertently switched on.
1. Preparing the food
Seal the food by coating with flour, egg and bread crumbs or batter. Do not use a basket with batter coated foods as they will stick.
4. Cooking the food
Lower the food gently into the oil. Do not add too much food at once or the temperature of the oil will be reduced and may result in soggy, greasy food. Turn the food if necessary, doughnuts float to the surface so they will not brown on the upper side if not turned. Once cooked, drain the food on absorbent paper.

Preserving
1. Pan size
Do not use a pan that overlaps the perimeter of the hob trim.
2. Quantity of oil
For safety purposes, fill the pan only 1/3 full of oil.
3. Testing the temperature of the oil It is advisable to use a thermometer to test the temperature of the oil. Alternatively, drop a small cube of bread into oil which should brown in just under a minute if the oil is at the correct temperature, or 190˚C.
2. Filling the pan
To allow for a full rolling boil, the pan should be no more than 1/3 full when all the ingredients have been added.
17
It is better to use two pans rather than overfill one, or use half quantities.
3. What to use
Use firm fruit or vegetables and wash well before using.
4. Types of sugar
Preserving sugar gives clear jam, however granulated sugar is cheaper and gives equally good flavour.
5. Crystallization
Crystallization may be caused if sugar is not completely dissolved before bringing the jam to the boil. Over boiling will affect the flavour, setting properties and colour of the jam.
6. To test jam for setting.
If a jam thermometer is available, boil the jam to 140˚C. Marmalade should be boiled to 106˚C. If no thermometer is available, remove the pan from the heat, place a sample of jam on a cold dish and cool quickly (i.e. in a freezer or frozen food compartment of a refrigerator). When cold, and if it is ready, it should crinkle and hold the mark of a finger run through it.
7.
The scum should be removed as soon as possible after setting, but marmalade should be allowed to cool before decanting into jars to prevent the peel rising.
