Using the ceramic hob
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see
“Cleaning and maintenance” section).
o You should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes
at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new
smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on
the heating elements during transit.
o Do not burn off more than one zone at once.
o Do not place a pan on the ceramic hob until this burn off process
has been completed.
Touch controls
o All operations are performed by means of the touch controls that
can be found on the control panel.
o Each touch control has a visual display that corresponds to it.
o Every time you press a touch control, an acoustic signal will
sound.

o After a zone is switched off, the corresponding
cooking zone indicator (3) will show the letter “H”.
This means that the temperature of the zone is
over 60°C and is therefore high enough to cause
injury.

Page 19
Hob guidelines
o The first few times the hob top is used, it may give off an acrid,
burning smell. This smell will disappear completely with repeated
use.
o The hob surface is fitted with cooking areas of different diametre
and power.
o The positions where the heat will radiate from are clearly marked
on the hob top. The saucepans must be positioned exactly on
these zones for efficient heating to occur. Pans should have the
same diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on.
o You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic surface.
o Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are
clean and dry.
o When cold, the bottom of the pans should be slightly concave, as
they expand when hot and lie flat on the surface of the hob. This
will allow the heat to transfer more easily.
o The best thickness for the bottom of the pans is 2 – 3 mm of
enameled steel and 4 – 6 mm for stainless steel with sandwich
type bottoms.
o If these rules are not followed, then there will be a great loss of
heat and energy. Heat not absorbed by the saucepan, will spread
to the hob, frame and surrounding cabinets.
o Preferably cover pans with a lid to permit cooking at a lower
heat.
o Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water to
reduce cooking times.
o Food or liquid that has high sugar content may damage the hob
top if it comes into contact with the ceramic hob surface. Any
spillages should be wiped up immediately, however this may not
prevent the hob surface from becoming damaged.
o IMPORTANT: The ceramic hob surface is tough; however it is
not unbreakable and can be damaged. Especially if pointed or
hard objects are allowed to fall on it with some force. DO NOT
USE THE HOB IF THE SURFACE BECOMES BROKEN OR
CRACKED. YOU SHOULD CONTACT THE BAUMATIC
SERVICE DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY.

Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning operations must only be carried out
when the oven is cool.
The appliance should be disconnected from your
mains supply before commencing any cleaning
process.
Cleaning the ceramic hob top
Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning
agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with
water and a little washing up.
Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface;
you should clean it using water and a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to clean some deposits whilst the hob
surface is still warm. You should take care not to burn yourself if
cleaning the hob surface when it is still warm.
After each use
o Wipe the appliance over with a damp cloth and a little washing
up liquid.
o Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a clean cloth.

Positioning
The adjacent furniture must be able to withstand a
minimum temperature rise of 85°C above the ambient
temperature of the room it is located in, during
periods of use.
This appliance is classified as Class 3 and therefore is to be built into a
kitchen unit (depending on size) or 600 mm worktop, providing the
following minimum distances are allowed:
o 700 mm between the hob surface and the underside of any
horizontal surface above it.
o 50 mm clearance around the appliance and between the hob
surface and any combustible materials.
Unpacking the appliance
When unpacking the appliance please check that the following items
are contained within the packaging:

23
Page 24
(A) Clip
(B) Fixing bracket
(C) Screw
o You should insert a clip (A) into the holes which are located in

Electrical connection
This appliance must be installed by a qualified
person in accordance with the latest edition of the
I.E.E. Regulations and in compliance with Baumatic’s
instructions.
Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the supply voltage
marked on the rating plate corresponds with your mains supply
voltage.
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
o This appliance must be wired into a 30 A double pole switched
fused spur outlet, having 3 mm contact separation and placed in
an easily accessible position adjacent to the appliance. It should

25
Page 26
o The brass links must be positioned as marked in the appropriate
diagram and once established ALL terminal screws must be
tightened down firmly.
o If when the hob is first switched on, only two of the zones
work, you should recheck that the terminal screws are all
fully tightened between the links. This should be done
before contacting the Baumatic Service Department.
o IMPORTANT: The appliance must NOT be connected to the
mains supply by means of a 13A plug and socket.
o The cable can be looped if necessary, but make sure that is not
kinked or trapped when the hob is in position. Care must be
taken to avoid the cable being in contact with hot parts of the
appliance.
Replacing the mains supply cable
If the mains supply cable is damaged, then it must be replaced by an
appropriate replacement which can be obtained from the Baumatic
Spares Department.
The mains supply cable should be replaced in accordance with the
following instructions:
o Switch the appliance off at the control switch.
o Open the terminal block on the underside of the hob.
o Unscrew the terminal screws fixing the cable.
o Replace the cable with one of the same length and in accordance
with the specification given above.
26
Page 27
o The “green-yellow” earth wire must be connected to the terminal
marked . It must be about 10 mm longer than the live and
neutral wires.
o The “blue” neutral wire must be connected to the terminal
marked with letter (N) - the live wire must be connected to the
terminal marked with letter (L).
My appliance isn’t working correctly
o The cooking zones are not functioning or will not switch
on.
* It has been more than 10 seconds since the appliance was
switched on. You should switch the appliance on again, using the

time; therefore it did not go above 60°C.
* IMPORTANT: If the cooking zone does appear to be hotter than
60°C and the residual heat indicator has not come on, you
should call the Baumatic Service Department.
o A humming sound is heard when a cooking zone is
selected.
* This is normal; the sound will disappear when the zone heats up.
27
