Fixing the seal to the back of the Hob

The hob must be sealed to the work surface to prevent liquid
from entering into the cabinet. A tape seal is supplied with the
hob. Refer to Fig. 1

1.

Turn the hob over and place on a secure, level surface.

2.

Spread the seal around the left, front, right and rear
outer edges of the cooktop. Take special care in the
corners making sure there are no gaps. The ends of the
strips must fit together without overlapping.

3.

If the surface that the hob is to be fitted to is tiled or is
not reasonably smooth, additional sealing with a
waterproof silicone sealant may be required.

4.

Turn the hob back the right way up and position it in
the worktop cut-out.

Fastening the Installation Brackets

Each cooktop is provided with an installation kit including
brackets and screws for fastening the top to fixture panels
from 20 to 40 mm thick. Refer to Fig. 2

1.

Turn the cooktop upside down and fasten the brackets
“F” and “R” to the appropriate socket holes, without
tightening the screws for the moment.

2. NOTE: Dependent on the thickness of the worktop as
shown in Fig. 2 Slide the optional sleeve onto the
bracket if fitting to thin work surfaces.

3.

Make sure that the brackets are fastened as shown in
Fig. 2

Installing the Hob

1.

Turn the hob back the right way up and position it in
the worktop cut-out.

2.

Insert the cooktop into the hole and position it correctly.

3.

Adjust the position of the brackets “F” and “R” and
tighten “Rear Screw” and “Front Screw” to lock
the cooktop firmly in position (Fig. 2).

4.

With a sharp cutter or trimmer knife trim the excess
sealing material around the edge of the cooktop. Take
care not to damage the workbench.

If the surface that the hob is to be fitted to is tiled or is not
reasonably smooth, additional sealing with a waterproof
silicone sealant may be required.

Electrical connection

Appliances with three-pole cable are set up for operation with alternating current at the
voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate. The earth conductor is yellow/green.
The connection to the electricity supply must be made by a qualified person and
following the regulations in force.
When the appliance is to be installed above a built-in oven, the two appliances must be
connected separately, to make it easier to take the appliances out and for electrical
safety.
The supply cable must be so positioned that no point can reach a temperature 50° C higher
than ambient temperature.
Also check that the supply system has an effective earth connection and corresponds to the
standards in force and that the plug (or omnipolar switch) can be reached easily when
the appliance is installed.

Using your Built-in Hob

If you require any technical guidance or find that your product is not operating as intended, a simple solution can often be found in the Troubleshooting section of these instructions,

Operation of the top with the electric plates

The electric tops can either be of the standard type, or of the rapid type. These last
feature a red mark at their centre. According to your needs, the tops can be
adjusted by turning the knobs either clockwise or anti-clockwise on 6 position
besides the 0 position (off).
The positions marked by the higher numerical index match the maximum output
of heat (see table). When using rapid tops, a thermostat automatically reduces
the power when the selected temperature is reached, and the top
operates intermittently to reach a constant cooking temperature.
The pilot light set in the control area signals that the electric plates are switched on.

Advice on the use of cooking tops

To Spare energy and to have a longer life of the electric tops, we advise using
pans with flat bottom and with a diameter not lesser than the diameter of the tops.
Care must be taken that fluids do not spill on the electric plates.
Never leave the tops on without pans on them or with empty pans, and never
use the tops to heat the place. Switch on the plates after having set the pans on
them. Once switches off, the plates remain warm for a while.

Switch off the heating element before removing the pans

Utensils

Use pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste energy and are



slow to cook



Use pans slightly larger than the hotplates. Smaller pans will waste energy.
Do not use oversized pans. More than 50mm overhang can overheat the hob



components and can cause fine cracks in the enamel hob which will trap dirt.

Use only dry utensils. Do not place wet or steamy parts (eg. lids) on the



hotplates.



Do not use pots and pans that are unsteady and likely to rock or overbalance.
Do not operate the hob for an extended time without a saucepan or

pot on the hotplate.

Cleaning

WARNING! Isolate the power supply to the built-in
Hob and make sure that the built-in hob is cool.

Before cleaning your hob or performing
maintenance, make sure that the cooking zone
control knobs are set to ‘OFF’. To extend the life
of your hob, it must be cleaned frequently.

The built-in hob should preferable be cleaned
immediately after use, when it is still warm (but
not hot), with warm water and
soap. The soap should be rinsed away and dried
thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents,
scourers, acidic cleaners such as lime scale
remover, etc, as these could damage the surface,
and can result in development of rust and
corrosion. If stains are particularly tough to
remove, use cleaners specifically recommended
to clean stainless steel and follow the instructions
provided with the cleaner. Never use steam
cleaner for cleaning the appliance.

Stainless Steel:
Stainless steel parts must be cleaned frequently
with mildly warm soapy water and a soft
sponge and then dried with a soft cloth. Do not
use abrasive powders or abrasive cleaning
materials. Do not leave anything spilled onto
stainless steel parts for long periods of time.

Do not clean using caustic creams,
abrasive cleaning powders, thick wire wool
or hard tools.

Never use flammable agents like acid, thinner
or petrol when cleaning your hob.

Do not clean your hob with a steam cleaner.

Do not wash any part of your hob in a dishwasher.
