GENERAL INFORMATION

Please read this booklet thoroughly before you use this appliance. It is important that you
understand all the control functions before commencing to cook with your Baumatic appliance.

Please remember the advice and warnings shown on page 5 which is headed
‘IMPORTANT – Warning and Safety Instructions’.

This appliance is designed for domestic household use when built into kitchen worktop.
NOTE: The housing, adjacent furniture and all materials used in the installation must be able to
withstand a minimum temperature rise of 85°C above ambient during periods of operation. This
information is for guidance only and the actual withstand temperature will depend on the
performance rating for the surface finish of the worktop.
Certain types of kitchen furniture surface finishes are particularly prone to heat damage or
discolouration at temperatures lower than the above guidelines.
Installing the appliance in contravention of the guidance given will be at the liability of the
owner.

The use for any other purpose or in any other environment without the express agreement of
Baumatic Ltd, would invalidate any warrantee or liability claim.

Your new appliance is guaranteed against electrical or mechanical defects subject to certain
exclusions noted in Baumatic Ltd Conditions of Guarantee.
The aforegoing does not affect your statutory rights.

The Warrantee applies to Great Britain and Northern Ireland only.
In the event that you require any After Sales Service or advice, please contact the Baumatic
Service Department on telephone number – 0118 933 6911.

Before using this appliance ensure that any protective packaging or coatings have been removed.
To aid the protection of the environment, please sort the packing materials into different types
and dispose of them in accordance with the local waste disposal laws.
Any further information on waste disposal can be obtained from your local Environment Agency office.
When first used, an odour may be emitted by any residual protective finish or moisture, which
will cease after a short period of time.

This appliance has been constructed and distributed in compliance with the essential requirements
of the following EEC DIRECTIVES and EUROPEAN NORMS:

CE Marking – 93/68 Low Voltage – 73/23 EMC – 89/336

IMPORTANT NOTE – WARNING and SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance complies with all current European safety legislation, however Baumatic do wish
to emphasise that compliance does not remove the fact that surfaces will become hot during use
and retain heat after operation.

Baumatic therefore strongly advise that babies and young children are prevented from being near
or touching the appliance at any time.
If it is necessary for younger family members to be in the kitchen, please ensure that they are kept
under close supervision at all times.
We also advise that great care is taken during use and cleaning operations.

Do make sure that the pan handles are always correctly positioned to avoid accidental contact.

Do not leave heated oil or fat unattended as there is a risk of fire.

Do use pans that are flat bottomed and the correct size for the heating area to be used (never smaller).

Do not allow electrical fittings or cables to be in contact with hot areas of the appliance.

Do not use the appliance for space heating or to dry clothes.

Do not install the appliance next to curtains or soft furnishings.

NOTE: This appliance must be correctly installed by a suitably qualified person, strictly in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. For gas installations, the Installer must be Corgi
registered (all Baumatic Engineers are Corgi registered) and for electrical installations, NICEIC
registration is recommended.

Baumatic Ltd declines any responsibility for injury or damage to persons or property as a result of
improper use or installation of this appliance.

Heat, steam and moisture will be created during use, take care to avoid injury and ensure
that the room is adequately ventilated. If prolonged use occurs, additional ventilation may
be required – please consult your Qualified Installer if you are in any doubt about the
amount required.

USER INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

These User Instructions should be retained for future reference and for use by a person who is
perhaps unfamiliar with the appliance.

The following models are covered by these instructions:

AS6.1 B10 B12 B13
B14 B15 B16

USING THE HOB

The symbols on the Control Panel fascias show which hotplate the control system operates. A
pilot light indicates when a hotplate is switched on.

AS6.1, B10, B12

Rotate the control knob that corresponds to the hotplate to be used, from the position ‘0’ to the
required temperature setting. The higher the number, the higher the heat output.

Every cooking zone has a corresponding Residual Heat Indicator neon (to be found at the front of
the hob on the right hand side). The neon will light up when the corresponding cooking zone
becomes hot, and will remain lit until the temperature on the cooking zone has dropped below
50°C.

B13, B14, B15, B16
These hobs feature ‘touch controls’ and incorporate a safety lock system indicated by the key
symbol.

1. It is necessary to initially programme the system by touching the ON / OFF pad for 3

seconds. An audible ‘bleep’ will be emitted and the adjacent neon will light.
The desired cooking zone selection can now be made, however if a selection is not made
within approximately 10 seconds the hob will automatically switch OFF.

2. To switch on the cooking zone selected, touch the corresponding zone identification pad and

regulate by pressing either the + or – pad. The power level is indicated by LED symbols (1 =
minimum through to 9 = maximum). An audible ‘bleep’ will be emitted at each operation.

3. To switch OFF the cooking zone selected, press the – pad until all the LED symbols are

extinguished. Alternatively, pressing the ON / OFF pad will shut down any cooking zone in
use and turn off the hob.

4. After use, the H symbol will remain lit in the corresponding zone identification pad to

indicate residual heat. This will switch off when the temperature drops below 50°C.

5. To prevent accidental use of a cooking zone, the key lock system can be activated. Do so by

pressing the KEY LOCK pad once. An audible ‘bleep’ will be emitted. The LED adjacent to
the pad will illuminate indicating that the lock is engaged. All cooking zones will be disabled
and any previous temperature settings will be maintained.
These settings can be amended after disengaging the lock system, making the required change
and re-engaging the lock system.
The lock system can be overridden by pressing the ON / OFF pad which will shut off the hob
and cancel any temperature settings.

6

USER INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE:

• If two or more cooking zone pads are touched simultaneously the command will be ignored

or if a zone is already in use, it may shut down. Continuing to touch zones for more than 10
seconds will cause the hob to shut down.

• If the control panel is accidentally covered or if spillage of liquid occurs, the safety lock

system will be activated. When the cause is removed, it will be necessary to re-programme
the hob by touching the key symbol for 3 seconds.

The B15 double cooking zone can be operated in both single and double element mode by pressing the
appropriate pad (Fig 1). The B16 double and oval cooking zones can be operated in both single and
double element mode by pressing the appropriate pads (Fig 1 and Fig 2)

WARNING

• Do not use commercial simmering aids as these can create excessive heat that can damage the

appliance.

• Do not use the glass ceramic surface of the hob as a griddle.

• Do not leave hotplates on without a pan or an empty pan.

• Be aware that hotplates will retain heat whilst cooling down.

• When cooking foods with high sugar content, ensure that any spillage is removed

immediately to avoid damage to the ceramic surface.

HELPFUL HINTS

• Always use the correct diameter pan, one that is the same or slightly larger than the hotplate.

• The bottom of the pan must be flat.

• Whenever possible keep the lid on the pan when cooking.

• Avoid over-spill of liquid by reducing the heat when boiling has occurred.

CLEANING THE APPLIANCE

Always allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning to avoid a burn injury.
Do not use caustic or abrasive agents, coarse wire wool or hard tools as these can damage the
surface finish.
Normally, wiping with a soft cloth dampened with hot detergent and drying with a soft cloth is
sufficient but for stubborn marks the following is recommended:

Vitreous Enamel or Stainless Steel parts – use only a cleaner that is recommended for these
types of material – avoid chloride based products (such as bleach).

Glass Ceramic surfaces – if any spillage becomes burnt on, remove with a ceramic glass cleaner
or scraper and clean with a cleaner-conditioner containing silicone.

Do not allow the ceramic glass surface to become scratched or damaged as this could lead to
a hazard.
