Using the induction hob
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see

o The settings below are to be used as a guideline only. The exact
setting required will depend on several factors, including your
cookware and the amount of food that you are cooking.
o You should experiment with the induction hob power levels to
find the best settings to suit you.
o It is also possible to set a temperature setting
using the temperature button (7) followed by the
plus and minus buttons. The temperature light (6)
will turn on.
o The temperature button allows you to select the
approximate temperature that the induction zone
will emit. The corresponding temperature for each power setting
is shown in the table below.
IMPORTANT: The temperatures in the table above are
approximate. The temperatures do not indicate the
temperature of the hob surface or the temperature of the
contents of the pan but just the temperature that the induction
zone will emit.
o To return to the heat setting mode just press the
heat button (3).
Page 13

IMPORTANT: A buzzer will sound for 10 seconds before the hob
turns off if:
o The pan is not placed correctly on the cooking zone
o The pan you are using is not suitable for induction cooking. No
heating will occur unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking
zone.
o The pan is too large or too small for the cooking zone.
Using the timer
o When the cooking zone is in use, it is possible to set a
countdown time after which the hob will turn off automatically.
o To set a countdown time, press the timer button
(8) and a buzzer will sound. The display will flash
“0:00” and the timer “min” light (10) will come
on to indicate that the hob has entered the time
setting mode.
o Use the plus (11) and minus (9) buttons to set
the required countdown time. Each press of
these buttons which increase or decrease the
time by 1 minute. If either of the buttons is held
down, the time will increase or decrease by 10
minutes.
o When the display shows the correct countdown time release all
buttons. The display will flash for 5 seconds before the timer will
be set. The countdown will then begin straight away.

The table below shows cookware that is normally suitable for use on
an induction zone hob:-
o The bottom of the pans should be as flat and thick as possible.
o Certain types of cookware may result in a noise being made
when being used on an induction zone hob. This does not mean
that there is an appliance fault.
o IMPORTANT: You should make sure that all pans are placed in
the centre of the induction zone that you are using.
Hob guidelines
o The first few times the
hob is used, it may give
off an acrid, burning
smell. This smell will
disappear completely with
repeated use.
o The saucepan must be
positioned exactly on the
zone for efficient heating
to occur. Pans should
have the same diameter
as the cooking zone that it
is 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 bottom of the
saucepan is clean and dry.
o When cold, the bottom of
the pan should be slightly
concave, as it will 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 areas.
Page 15
15
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 as possible, to
reduce cooking times.
o DO NOT attempt to heat
an empty pot.
o You should never leave
the hob unattended at any
time during use.
o Food or liquid that has
high sugar content may
damage the hob 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 Never heat foods in sealed
containers, such as
compressed products or
cans to avoid an explosion
caused by heat expansion.
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
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 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.
o DO NOT directly rinse the
induction hob under
water. No liquids should
come into contact with the
internal parts of the
appliance.
Page 16

After each use
o Wipe the appliance over
with a damp cloth.
o Dry the appliance by
rubbing the surface with a
clean cloth.
Using a specialist ceramic
hob cleaner
It is possible to purchase

cleaner/conditioner.
You should follow the
instructions given by the
manufacturer of the specialist
ceramic hob cleaner. You should
ensure that it is suitable for use
on your appliance.
Installation
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.
o NEVER place the
appliance on a gas cooker
or hob during use as the
magnetic lines can heat
the metal parts of the gas
cooker or hob.
o To use the induction hob it
should be placed
horizontally on an
appropriate surface. There
should be a space of at
least 10 cm between the
sides and rear of the hob
and any adjacent wall or
cupboard.
o Do not use the induction
hob in narrow spaces to
avoid hindering the
release of heat through
the ventilation gaps.
o Do not place the appliance
onto carpet, a tablecloth
or paper to avoid blocking
the air vents which can
result in overheating.
o The appliance should not
be located near any other
heat source such as
radiators, heaters,
cookers, ovens and hobs.
Electrical connection
o The induction hob comes
supplied with a 10 amp
plug fitted.
o The wiring in the mains
lead is coloured as
