BE SAFE - NOT SORRY
Warning: Do not use the ceramic hob
if the glass surface is cracked, as electrical parts are immediately beneath.
Switch off the appliance at the supply
to prevent electric shock and contact
your supplier.
Before using the hob for the
first time
Before using the hob for the first time,
apply a thin coating of cleaner
conditioner and polish the surface with
a clean dry cloth.
The conditioner gives a protective
covering to the ceramic glass which
not only makes the hob easier to
clean, but also ensures you will gain
maximum life out of this product.
Using the hotplate elements
To switch on, turn the control knob for
the selected hob element to the desired
setting.
Note: The marked settings on the hob
controls do not indicate any set
temperature and cannot be used to
compare the performance of one ring
with another.
The hob rings will cycle on and off
automatically during use as a means
of regulating heat output.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
The hot hob light
The hob light comes on when one of
the rings is switched on, and will stay
on for a while after the last ring is
switched off, to indicate that the hob
glass may still be warm.
Care and cleaning
See ‘Cleaning the Hob’ section.
Dual Zone Hotplate (if fitted)
Some models have a dual zone hotplate fitted (left hand rear plate). Turn
the control clockwise to the required
setting to use the whole hotplate if
using a larger pan. Turn the control
anti-clockwise to the required setting to
use the inner hotplate if using a smaller pan. This is an energy saving feature and is useful for cooking with
smaller pans or for simmering.

USING THE HOB
6
Using the hotplate
• Commercial simmering aids
should not be used as they create
excessive temperatures that can
damage the surface and may
cause a hazard.
• Do not place aluminium foil or
plastic utensils on the ceramic
glass, as they may melt and
damage the surface.
• Do not use the ceramic glass
hotplate surface for storage.
• When cooking with fat or oil,
never leave unattended.
• Turn pan handles to a safe position,
so they are out of reach of children,
not overhanging the appliance, and
cannot be caught accidentally.
• Position pans over the centre of the
hotplate elements.
• Do not use the hob as a chopping
board or a storage area, as this
increases the likelihood of it being
damaged - eg; plastic utensils
placed on a warm hob may melt
onto it, and damage the ceramic
glass surface.
• Aluminium foil must not be placed
on the hob as it will reflect any
heat back into the element, which
can damage it.
• Leaving a hotplate on for a length
of time, without it being covered
by a pan, causes overheating of
surrounding areas which could
damage the glass.
• Be careful when cooking foods in
salted water, or foods containing
large amounts of sugar, syrup or
jam - if they are spilt onto hot areas
of the hob they may damage it.
• Lift pans onto and off the surface,
rather than sliding them across the
surface, to avoid marks and
scratches.
• If you use a wet paper towel to
remove spills from a warm heating
area of the hob, be careful to
avoid steam burns.
• Do not use abrasive powder
cleaners, metal wire wool pads,
impregnated plastic pads, detergents,
bleaches, bath stain removers, or
chemical oven cleaners; all these
types of products will damage the
ceramic glass.
USING THE HOB
To save energy
• Always position pans centrally
over the heating area.
• Put lids on saucepans and only heat
the amount of liquid you need.
• When liquids boil, reduce the
control setting to maintain a simmer.
• Consider the use of a pressure
cooker for the cooking of a
complete meal.
• Vegetables will cook quicker if
chopped in smaller pieces.
• Larger heating elements are ideal
for faster cooking methods, such as
boiling or frying, and for larger pans.
Smaller heating elements are ideal
for simmering and stewing, and
for smaller pans.
• Do not use a pan which is too
small or too large for the heating
area - refer to notes on next page.
Choice of pans
The choice of cookware is important
if you are to achieve maximum
benefit from cooking with a ceramic
hob.
Ceramic hobs are not only easy to
clean, they are also energy efficient if
you use the right pans to suit the surface.
When buying new pans, always refer
to the manufacturer’s guidelines.
For best results and energy efficiency,
it is important to use flat bottomed
pans of the correct type, especially on
ceramic glass hobs.
Always use pans which are large
enough to prevent spillage, especially
for deep frying, or when cooking with
a sugar based substance.
Trivets, round based woks, heat
diffuser pads and over-sized pans are
not recommended.
Do not use double pans, rim based
pans, old misshapen pans or any pan
which is unstable when placed on a
flat surface.
7
USING THE HOB
Type and size of pan
• Cast iron, stainless steel, or
enamelled steel pans are all suitable
for use on ceramic glass hobs.
• Aluminium pans will give good
cooking results but care must be
taken in their use. If they are slid
across the surface of the hob they
tend to leave visible marks which
can be difficult to remove.
• Certain makes / brands of pressure
cookers may not be suitable for use
on ceramic hobs - they do not come
to pressure. Stainless steel pressure
cookers will give optimum results.
• Glass pans can be used but the glow
from the heating areas transmitted
through transparent glass may
cause some visual discomfort.
• Avoid using double pans or old
misshapen pans which are
unstable and dangerous.
• Certain types of copper based
pans may become slightly
concave when heated, which can
result in slower cooking times.
• Always use pans which are large
enough to avoid overflows onto the
ceramic hob, especially if a pan
contains any sugar / sugar based
substance, as this is corrosive and can
damage the ceramic glass surface.
• Pan bases should be thick, flat, and
smooth, to ensure maximum contact
with the hob, maximum heat
conduction and rapid cooking times.
• Pans with dull or dark coloured
bases will give the quickest
cooking results.
• Pans with highly polished bases
can reflect heat back into the hob
causing the hotplate to cycle on
and off more rapidly than normal,
which can slow down cooking.
• Pans with thin, dented or ridged
bases should not be used. They
will not make maximum contact
with the hob, which can result in
very slow cooking times.
• The right size of pan base will
ensure maximum contact with the
hob and rapid cooking times.
• Use pans with a flat base of
minimum 100mm / 4” diameter
and maximum 280mm / 11”
diameter which are stable in use.
• Pan bases that are much smaller or
much larger than the hotplate - eg;
by 50mm / 2” - will result in
slower cooking times.

The heat is ideal for browning off the tops of food as it is not as
fierce as the grill following conventional or fanned cooking.
Provides additional browning for dishes like lasagne or cauliflower
cheese. Use this function towards the end of cooking.
This function is ideal for traditional roasting, The meat is placed in
the middle of the oven, roast potatoes towards the top.
Ideal for pizzas and also suitable for food with a high moisture
content, such as quiche, bread and cheesecake. It also eliminates the need for baking pastry blind.
The fan allows the heat to circulate around the food. Ideal for
thinner foods such as bacon, fish and gammon steaks. Foods do
not require turning. use with the oven door closed.
The even temperature in the oven makes this function suitable for
batch baking or batch cooking foods.
To defrost foods, such as cream cakes/gateaux, use with the oven
door closed. For cooling dishes prior to refrigeration, leave the
door open.
This function cookds food from the top and is ideal for a range of
food from toast to steaks. As the whole grill is working, you can
cook larger quantities of food.
For smaller quantities of food, but is still ideal for anything from
toast to steaks.
Used to cook open pies (such as mince pies) the base element
ensures that the base is cooked while the fan allows the air to circulate around the filling - without being too intensive.

USING THE GRILLS
Grilling in the top oven
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used,
young children should be kept
away.
The top oven grill is a fully variable
dual element grill.
To switch on the grill
Open the top oven / grill door.
Turn the top oven control knob past the
oven temperature markings to either
the single economy grill symbol,
or the dual grill symbol.
The grill regulator - to the left of the top
oven control - must then be switched
on. This enables variation of the heat
output from the grill on either the single
grill or dual grill settings.
The dual grill uses all of the top
element, and the single economy grill
setting uses the inner part of the
element only.
Important: The door must be kept
open when the grill is used.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
Note that the grill will not operate if
the top oven is switched on.
Using the top oven grill
For grilling smaller quantities of food
the (single element) economy grill can
be utilised. This grill function can be
controlled between settings 1 and 8.
For grilling larger quantities of food,
the (dual element) full grill can be
utilised. The full grill can also be
controlled between settings 1 and 8.
When using the grill in the top oven,
the speed of grilling can be controlled
by use of either the variable control
or by selecting higher or lower shelf
position.
For toasting, and for grilling foods
such as bacon, sausages or steaks,
use a higher shelf position.
For thicker foods such as chops or
chicken joint pieces, use a middle to
low shelf position.
The cooling fan
When the grill is switched on, you will
hear the cooling fan come on - this
keeps the fascia and control knobs of
the appliance cool during grilling. The
fan may continue to operate for a period after the grill control has been
switched off.
11
USING THE GRILLS
Grilling in the main oven
Caution: Accessible parts may
be hot when the grill is used young children should be kept
away.
