Operation
Hob burners
To light a burner:
))
)
))
z turn the relevant control knob anticlockwise to the maximum position, then push it down to
ignite the burner. Upon, ignition, adjust the flame as required.
z If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation or a power cut, it is quite normal for the
spark generator to be activated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only use pots and pans with a flat
bottom fitting the size of the burner used (see table).
Burner minimum maximum
diameter diameter
Large (rapid) 180 mm. 260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid) 120 mm. 220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary) 80 mm. 160 mm.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the flame
so that it will barely keep the liquid simmering.
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the
overheated splashes could easily ignite
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Force Centre.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
hob from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as spillage can be removed more easily
than if it is left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water to which
a little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is recommended that a cleaning product
such as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
Pan Supports
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying
them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves rough edges. If necessary, remove
stubborn stains using a paste cleaner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water, and remove marks with a
mild paste cleaner. A well moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used with
caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Electrical connections
Any electrical work required to install this hob should be carried out by a qualified
electrician or competent person, in accordance with the current regulations.
THIS HOB MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.
This hob is designed to be connected to a 230V - 50 Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated
on the hob rating plate. The rating plate is located on the bottom of the hob. A copy is
attached on the back cover of this book.
The hob is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cord incorporating a 3amp plug fitted. In
the event of having to change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be
used.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, the wires in the mains lead are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
1) Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire
to the terminal in the plug which is marked
with the letter 'E' or the earth symbol
coloured green and yellow.
2) Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter 'N'
or coloured black.
3) Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter 'L' or coloured red.
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord
clamp must be secure over the outer sheath.
In the event of having to change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must
be used.
or
FO 0390

A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard.
Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.
Page 21
Permanent Connection
N
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary that you install a double pole
switch between the hob and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm.
between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with
the current electric regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.
Ensure that the hob supply cord does not come into contact with surfaces with temperatures
higher than 50 deg. C.
Replacement of the cable
The connection of the voltage cable to the appliance's terminal block is of type "Y". This
means that its replacement requires the specific equipment of a technician.
In this case, only cable types H05RR-F, H05 V2V2-F (T90) or H05 BB-F must be used.
The cable section must be suitable to the voltage and the working temperature.
The yellow/green earth wire must be approximately 2 cm. longer than the phase wires.

Appliance must be electrically disconnected - meter set on Ω (Ohms) x 1 scale and
adjust zero if necessary.
— Test leads from any appliance earth point to earth pin on plug. Resistance should be
less than 0.1 Ω (Ohm), check all earth wires for continuity and all contacts are clean
and tight.
B. INSULATION CHECK
Appliance electrically disconnected, all switches ON.
a) meter set on Ω (Ohms) x 1 scale.
Test leads from L to N in appliance terminal block. If meter reads «0» then there is a
short circuit.
b) meter set on Ω (Ohm) x 100 scale.
Repeat test with leads from L to E. If meter reads less than ∞ (infinity) there is a fault.
NOTE - Should it be found that the fuse has failed but no fault is indicated - a detailed continuity
check (i.e. by disconnecting and checking each component) is required to trace the faulty
component.
It is possible that a fault could occur as a result of local burning/arcing but no fault could be found
under test. However a detailed visual inspection should reveal evidence of burning around the
fault.
