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 You must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on
each zone as you burn it off.
Control knobs
o All operations are performed by means of the 4 control knobs
that can be found on the right hand side of the hob top.
o The control knob should be turned clockwise to select a heating
level. The numbers around the outside of each control knob
indicates the power level that you have set the zone to.
o A marking to the bottom right of each control knob, indicates
which zone that it controls.
Turning on a zone and setting a power level
o Turn the control knob of the zone that you wish to cook on.
o Each cooking zone can be adjusted between 1 and 6, one being
the coolest zone setting and six being the hottest zone setting.
o When you have finished cooking, make sure that you turn the
control knob to the 0 position.
10
Page 11
Residual heat indicator
o To the left of each control knob, there is a residual heat
indicator.
o After turning a hob zone on, when the temperature of the zone
goes above 65°C the corresponding residual heat indicator neon
will come on.
o After turning a hob zone off, the residual heat indicator neon will
stay on until the temperature of the zone falls below 65°C.
o IMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if your
mains supply is cut.
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 worktop 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
enamelled 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.
11
Page 12
o Always cook vegetables and potatoes, etc. in as little water as
possible 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.
o 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 hob 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 liquid.
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.

65°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.
