Ceramic glass surface
The ceramic glass surface has four cooking zones. When a zone is turned on, it will illuminate at various intervals depending on the heat setting selected. Even at the highest setting the zone is disconnected occasionally to ensure that the surface is not over-heated. The glass is hard, and has been tempered to withstand heat, cold and temperature shocks. But like all glass it is sensitive to impact. Do not stand on the ceramic glass surface. At the front of the ceramic glasssurface in the middle there are four fields. Each field corresponds to a cooking zone. When using a zone, the field concerned will show which CHEC function you are using and the setting at which you have set the zone.
Cooking zones
There are three single zones and one double zone.
CHEC control
Information about how to use the CHEC control function can be found in the section entitled Operation instructions. The CHEC control function allows electronic control of the zones. CHEC control enables you to set the heat with great precision, which
means that you do not have to adjust the heat constantly. CHEC control provides the zones with the following functions:
Automatic disconnection of forgotten zones. AUTOMAX at all settings. Setting of large zone on double zones. Child safety device on zones.
Residual heat indicator
When you switch off a zone, an "H" in the display indicates that the zone is still hot. The residual heat indicator will continue to be illuminated until the zone reaches a temperature of approx. 80˚C.

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:
14
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.
19
Stainless steel surfaces
Clean the appliance after use with a soft cloth well wrung out in warm water, use a small amount of liquid detergent for stubborn soiling. Stainless steel parts may become straw coloured with use, use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner to remove this straw discolouration.
Never use metal wool, metal sponges or other abrasive cleaning agents.
The ceramic glass hob
Immediately scrape off stains caused by food which has boiled over using the scraper supplied with the hob, spilled sugar, dishes containing sugar (jam, juice, etc.), melted plastic and aluminium foil while the ceramic hob is still hot. If the ceramic hob is allowed to cool it may become damaged. A dirty ceramic hob decreases the heat transfer between cooking zones and cookware.
After use the cooking zones should be wiped with a damp cloth with washing up liquid. For severe soiling you can follow these steps:
1. Remove stains etc., with the ceramic hob scraper.
2. Make sure that the ceramic hob has cooled down. Use a ceramic cleaning agent, such as vitroclen.
3. Wipe the ceramic hob clean with a damp cloth or kitchen roll. Tough stains can be removed by rubbing the stain hard with kitchen roll.
4. Wipe off remaining cleaning agent with a damp cloth.
5. Wipe with a dry cloth, if required.
Make sure that the ceramic hob is dry when you heat it up again. Ceramic hobs can develop rainbow-like stripes if heated while damp.
Advice and hints for using the cooking zones
If you use the advice below you will save energy and make your cleaning tasks easier.
Adjust the cooking zones correctly.
for the cooking zones until the food is brought to the boil. Then reduce the setting as far as possible, without the food going off the boil.
Use level saucepans. An uneven saucepan may increase the electricity consumption by up to 50 per cent. Check whether your saucepans have level bases by placing the item in question upside down on a work top and positioning a ruler on the base. A curved base, both inwards and outwards, will prolong the cooking time and increase the energy consumption
The saucepan should match the cooking zone – or be slightly larger. Remember that a large saucepan can also hold small quantities. If the diameter of the base is too small, the energy consumption will increase, and any food boiling
Select the highest setting
over will burn onto the hot cooking zone.
Saucepans with very shiny/bright bases will prolong the cooking time slightly compared with cooking utensils with matt/dark bases.
Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan. Without a lid you use more than three times as much electricity.
18
15
Cleaning and maintenance
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.
For reasons of hygiene and safety, the cooking zones must be kept clean. Grease stains and spilled food generate smoke when heated, and can even cause fire.
Splashguard
The splashguard can be removed to make it easier to clean the surface.
What to do:
1. Hold the splashguard as shown in the diagram.
2. Lift the splashguard straight up
3. Clean the top surface as described in cleaning the steel surface. Be aware of the two retaining pegs, which are sharp.
4. Replace the splashguard in position ENSURE that it is fitted the correct way round.
Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan to reduce electricity consumption.
16
Never use hard or sharp implements to lift off the
splashguard.
Do not wash the splashguard
in a dishwasher.
The hob must not be used
with the splashguard off.
