Instructions for use

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

USING THE HOB

The INDUCTION HEATING system quickly transfers the energy required to cook directly to the pan
and therefore the surface of the hob remains cool. The result is a fast, economical and precise
operation.

Cast Iron, Enameled Steel or Induction Stainless Steel pans can be used on these hobs but not pans that
are made from Glass, ceramic, non-magnetic stainless steel or aluminum 9 without a special magnetic
base).

Any pan that is not flat or is of poor quality and condition is not suitable for use with this product as it
can damage the ceramic surface.

When the appliance is switched on for the first time after being connected to the mains supply the
control panel will indicate:

For one second. If any other code or no code at all is indicated then there is a problem with the power
supply, the connections to the appliance terminal block, or the mains supply itself, in either case we
recommend that the electrical connections are check again.

Key-Lock Function

These models have a safety lock feature incorporated into the control panel This feature is
to prevent accidental use of the appliance, This can be done by first pressing the power On / Off key
and then the Lock Key, The lock function can also be applied to a cooking zone when in use, to
maintain a specific heat setting, this is done by selecting the required heat setting of the zone and then
by pressing the lock key it will lock the zone at that required setting. When applying the lock function
an audible bleep is emitted and the LED adjacent to the pad will illuminate. To switch off the lock
function press the Key symbol and again an audible bleep will be emitted and the adjacent LED will be
distinguished. To gain full adjustable heat control the zone must be re-selected.

Switching On and Selecting a Cooking Zone

To switch on the appliance press the On / Off pad for 3 seconds, an audible bleep will be emitted and
the adjacent neon light will illuminate. Also a zero illuminates in each power level display and the
adjacent neon indicators flash.

The next input selection must take place within 10 seconds otherwise the hob will switch off again.
You can now select the required cooking zone by pressing the appropriate zone identification key and

then selecting the required heat level using the

function you should first select a cooking zone and required heat setting, Then by pressing the timer

key the time required can be set using the
minutes. The timer starts counting down as soon as the required time is set. The time
remaining is displayed on the timer display, the time maybe adjusted once set and will start
the countdown again from the new time setting. Once the timer reaches zero the selected cooking zone
will switch off and an audible signal is emitted and continues for 30 seconds.

+ or – keys, the timer can be set from 1 to 99

Temperature Detection

For added safety, your induction hob incorporates independent detectors on each induction zone as well
as a sensor on the internal cooling block. These sensors will activate the fan as appropriate, if for any
reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones were to exceed the safety levels, should this
happen then the zone will automatically reduce to a lower power level or in some cases switch off
altogether, If a zone is automatically switched off the “H” symbol will be displayed in the power level
indicator window.

Auto Pan-Detection

Each cooking zone incorporates an automatic pan-detection system, the system is calibrated in order to
recognize pans of a diameter just slightly smaller than the induction zone. Pans must always be placed
centrally on each cooking zone. If the zone does not detect the presence of a pan, the zone will stay off

and the power level indicator window will display the symbol “
pan is placed onto a cooking zone and is in the correct position, then this may mean that the pan is not
the correct size for that zone or is not appropriate for induction cooking.

Helpful Hints

The ceramic surface of the appliance is non-porous and is not sensitive to quick changes in heat, this
allows for hot pans to be moved onto cold heat zones without damaging the hob, always ensure that
when pans are being moved from zone to zone that they are lifted and placed down gentle onto the
surface and not by sliding them across the ceramic surface as this may damage the appliance and will
not be covered under the guarantee.

If spillages of foodstuffs being cooked occur then they must be removed immediately to avoid damage
to the appliance THIS MUST BE DONE WITH GREAT CARE TO AVOID INJURY. Should
spillage occur of foodstuffs that have a high content of sugar then it is important to remove the spillage
quickly as it will destroy the ceramic surface, stubborn stains maybe removed using the ceramic hob
scraper supplied with the product ensuring that the blade is not worn.

Frying pans and saucepans

Always ensure that the correct saucepan and frying pans are used in conjunction with the heat zone
size, the pan being used should not be smaller than the cooking zone and must not exceed 10 mm larger
than the required zone.

The bottoms of the cooking utensils being used must be clean and dry saucepans and frying pans that
do not have flat bottoms or have burrs or sharp edges will scratch the glass surface of the appliance.
Scratches can also be caused by partials of dirt from such things as fresh vegetables, it is important that
no such residues are allowed to come into contact with the ceramic surface if this should occur then the
partials must be removed before cooking commences.

Saucepans and frying pans that have either aluminum or copper bases can cause discoloration to the
hob and are sometimes impossible to remove always follow the saucepan manufactures guidelines.

11

Cleaning and Maintenance

Always ensure that the appliance is cool and is switched off at the mains electrical supply before
cleaning commences.

Never use abrasive cleaning agents such as oven sprays, stain remover, scouring powder or sponges
that have an abrasive effect.

Specialist cleaners for ceramic hobs are available from good department stores and a ceramic glass
scraper is supplied with this product to assist in the removal of stubborn stains. (Always ensure that the
blade in the scraper is of good quality).

We recommend that your appliance is cleaned after every use to ensure that the appliance remains in
good quality, this can be done by using a damp cloth for spillages that are not burnt on and by using the
hob scraper for more stubborn and burnt on stains and then wiped over with a damp soft cloth.

Food stuffs with a high sugar content, plastic and aluminum kitchen foil should be removed
immediately by using the hob scraper once the appliance has cooled it should be wiped over using a
soft damp cloth and a specialist ceramic hob cleaner.

Any light residues of staining such as aluminum can be removed using a soft damp cloth and a
specialist ceramic hob cleaner.

Never apply any cleaning agent to hot cooking surfaces always allow the appliance to cool and always
remove any residues of cleaning agent before the next use of the appliance.

Never use a cleaning agent before confirming it is suitable for ceramic hobs.

NOTE:

We have included a ceramic glass scraper to assist in the cleaning of your new Baumatic hob, The
blade supplied in the scraper will, after several uses become worn, it is the responsibility of the
customer to ensure that the blade is always of good quality so as to avoid any scratches to the ceramic
surface.
