Safety Information

Keep an eye on children when the
hob is in use. Pans get very hot
when used and remain warm for
some time after the hob has been
turned off. Never let children touch
or play with the controls.

Never leave the hob unattended
when deep fat frying, or heating fats
and oils. In the event of fire turn off
all controls and if you have a cooker
hood this must be turned off as well.
Never leave paper, dish cloths, alu­minium foil or any other easily ignit­ed materials close to the
hob. A hot hob can cause foil, plastic
or paper to melt or burn.

Put out flames with a lid, and
never use water.

Check that the hob is turned off
when not in use.

The hob is intended for domestic use
only. If it is used in any other way
there is a risk of accidents.

Children

Use

For reasons of hygiene and safety
the cooking zones must be kept
clean. Grease and spilt food liberate
smoke when heated and may at
worst cause fire.

Service and repair must be per­formed by our service organisation
or an organisation approved by us.
Only spare parts supplied by our
service organisation may be used.

Make sure the packaging is disposed
of in such a manner that children
cannot access the used packaging.

The product may only be installed
by an authorised electrician or a per­son authorised by the manufacturer.

Work performed by an unauthorised
person may lead to injuries or build­ing damages and deteriorate the
functionality of the product. When
installing make sure the cord does
not get jammed.

Ceramic glass is insensitive to tem­perature shock and very robust:
however it is not unbreakable.
Especially sharp and hard
objects that fall on the cooking sur­face can damage it.

Ceramic hob

The ceramic surface has one single
cooking zone, two double cooking
zones and one triple cooking zone.
When a cooking zone is turned out it
will light up for different intervals
depending on the heat setting cho­sen. Even at the highest setting, the
cooking zone will turn off now and
again, to avoid overheating.

The hob has an electronic control
system to ensure precise heat control
of the cooking zones.
The electronics have the following
functions:

- Setting of the double zones

- AUTOMAX, automatic parboil­ing

- Safety turn-off

- Autostop. Automatic turn-off of
the cooking zones

- Child safety.

- Minute minder and timer.

Before Use

Protect the ceramic hob

Before using the hob for the first
time it must be cleaned for manufac­turing residues such as dust, dirt etc.
Apply a protective coating on the
ceramic hob before you use it. This
way it becomes easier to clean the
glass and you prevent any spillage
from burning.

This is what you do:

1. Pour a few drops of the cleaning
agent supplied with the hob on
paper towel and rub it on to the
entire surface.

2. Polish the surface with a clean
cloth until it is dry.

How to use

Ceramic hob

Never use a cracked ceramic
hob. On spillage liquid may
penetrate into live parts. Cut
the power to the devise and
contact our Service Centre
(see section “Service and
Spare Parts” for contact
phone number)

Never leave aluminium foil,
paper, plastic or the like on
the ceramic hob. A cooking
zone may cause the
foil/paper/plastic to
burn/melt.

Never leave frying, melting
of fat, paraffin or other
inflammables unattended. In
the event of fire all knobs
are to be set at 0 and if you
have a cooker hood this
must be turned off.

Smother the fire with a lid,
never use water.

Immediately scrape off
spillages using a glass
ceramics scraper. Spillage of
sugar or any foodstuff con­taining sugar (jam, juice
etc.), melted plastics and
aluminium foil can damage
the ceramic hob.

Never place wet cooking utensils on
the ceramic hob. Make sure there is
no sand, sugar or salt on the utensil.
Sand may cause scratches, sugar and
salt may damage the ceramic hob.
Always dry off pans before placing
them on the ceramic hob.

The colour decoration on the ceram­ic hob may wear off or be scratched
depending on the use.

Do not use the ceramic hob without
the aluminium strip in place.

Do not use the ceramic hob as a wok
surface as this could damage the
hob.

10

The keys are to be touched for mini­mum 1 sec. before activation.

Under the ceramic hob all cooking
zones have a sensor which registers
the material and size of the pan. The
cooking zone you intend to use must
be switched on before placing the
pot on the zone. If the pan is placed
on the cooking zone before switch­ing on, the pan will not be regis­tered. The display will show “F”.

When a pan is placed on a cooking
zone, its material will be registered.
The cooking zone will only heat up
if the pan is made of metal.

If the pan or whatever placed on the
zone is not made of metal, the cook­ing zone will not heat up. The dis­play will show “F”.

For double and triple zones, the cir­cuits matching the pots being used
will automatically be switched on.
Registration depends on the material
and size of the pot.

If the appliance is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks
before contacting your local AEG Service Force Centre.

IMPORTANT: If you call out an engineer to a fault caused by incorrect use or
installation, a charge will be made even if the aookuabce is under guarantee.

Problem

The hob doesn’t work.............

The hob surface gets

hot.................

The fuses are constantly blow-

ing.....

The cooking zones don’t get hot
enough

Remedy

Check that the hob is switched on.
Check the HPFI/HFI relay in the
main fuse box. Check the fuses
for the hob.

The surface will heat up to 80°C.
However, it may get hotter if you
use pots without a flat bottom or
which do not match the size of the
cooking zone.

Possibly you have too many elec-
trical appliance connected simul-
taneously. If your hob is connect-
ed to a 10 Amp fuse group, there
is a high risk of overload.

The pots must match the cooking
zone size. Check that the pots has
a flat bottom, e.g. by holding it
against the edge of a worktop.
Bring a litre of water to the boil in
a covered pot The cooking zone
must at the highest setting.
Boiling time on the 12 cm cook-
ing zone is approx. 25 min.
Boiling time on the 14 cm cook-
ing zone is approx. 13 min.
Boiling time on the 18 cm cook-
ing zone is approx. 10 min.

To optimise joints between the installed hobs, the gap between the ceramic hob
may be grouted with silicone:

1. Remove the aluminium panels from the hobs.

2. Apply a stripe of silicone to the gap between the two ceramic hob. Use only
the silicone supplied, as it is designed to tolerate the appliance’s high temper-
ature. (Fig. 1)

3. Splash a little soapy water (washing-up liquid) on the silicone stripe

4. Press the rubber block hard against the ceramic hob and pull it slowly from
back to front (Fig. 2)

5. Leave the silicone to harden until the next day.

6. Remove surplus silicone coating from the ceramic hob with the razorblade
supplied. Be careful not to damage the silicone in the gap. Run tools only
along the joint, never across it.

7. Polish the ceramic hob with the supplied cleaning product for ceramic hobs.
