Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of this quality appliance. We trust that you will enjoy many
years of trouble free use. Please read these instructions carefully before using the
appliance. This book will provide you with information on how to operate and care for your
appliance in order that you gain the maximum benefit from it.

Unpacking

• Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner.

• Plastic bags should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally

suffocating.

• Some models feature a protective film over stainless steel trim. This film must be

carefully removed before using the hob.

• If the appliance is damaged in any way, do not use it. Report the damage to your dealer,

who will take the necessary corrective action.

Cupboard design

• Cooking appliances generate considerable heat. The layout and materials of the mounting

cabinet should take account of these characteristics.

• Surfaces and surrounding edges immediately adjacent to the hob should be able to

withstand temperatures of up to 100°C without delaminating or discolouring.

Future Transportation

• Keep the appliances original carton and transport the product in it. Follow the instructions

on the carton. If you do not have the original carton, pack the appliance in bubble wrap or
thick cardboard and tape it securely.

• Secure the caps and pan supports with adhesive tape.

Disposing of the old appliance

• Dispose of the old appliance in an environmentally friendly manner.

• Refer to your local dealer or solid waste collection centre in your area to learn how to

dispose of your appliance. Before disposing of the appliance, cut off the power cable plug
and make the door lock (if any) unusable to avoid dangerous conditions to children.

Important safety instructions

This section contains safety instructions
that will help you avoid risk of injury and
damage. All warranties will become void
if you do not follow these instructions.

General safety

• This appliance is not intended for

use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of
the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.

• Always keep children and infirm

persons away from the appliance when
it is in use.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must

be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similar qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.

• Do not operate the appliance if it is

defective or has any visible damage.

• Do not carry out any repairs or

modifications on the appliance.

• Never wash down the appliance with

water! There is the risk of electric
shock!

• Never use the appliance when your

judgment or coordination is impaired by
the use of alcohol and/or drugs.

• The appliance must be disconnected

from the mains during installation,
maintenance, cleaning and repair
procedures.

• Be careful when using alcoholic drinks

in your dishes. Alcohol evaporates at
high temperatures and may cause a
fire since it can ignite when it comes
into contact with hot surfaces.

• Only use the appliance for preparing

food.

• Do not use the appliance for heating

closed tins and glass jars. The
pressure that would build up in the tin/
jar may cause it to burst.

• Do not place any flammable materials

close to the appliance as the sides
may become hot during use.

• Keep all ventilation slots clear of

obstructions.

• The appliance may be hot when it is in

use. Never touch the hot cooking
zones.

• Make sure that the hob controls are

switched off after every use.

• Use a deep pan, large enough to cover

the appropriate cooking zone.

• Always dry food thoroughly before

placing it in hot oil or fat. Frozen food
in particular will spit and splatter if
added too quickly.

• Never fill the pan more than one third

full of fat or oil.

• Never heat fat or fry with a lid on the

pan.

• Do not fry too much food at once. This

lowers the temperature of the oil or fat
and results in fatty foods.

• Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended.

If overheating occurs, these could
catch fire.

• Do not use or store inflammable

products (alcohol, petrol, benzene etc.)
near the appliance as these pose a fire
risk.

• Do not cover the hob or burners with

aluminium foil.

• Switch off the power at the mains in

the event of a fault or when cleaning
the appliance.

Check the general appearance of
your appliance for any damages
that might have occurred during
transportation.

Installation

Installation is the buyer’s responsibility. The manufacturer accepts no liability for this service.
Any action that the manufacturer has to take as a result of an erroneous installation will not be
covered by the warranty.

• The hob is supplied with securing clips.

A B C

• These fit into dedicated slots around the hob base. (see picture A).

• Insert the clips. (as shown in picture B).

• Lift the clips up until they click into place. (as shown in picture C).

• To avoid liquid spills penetrating between the hob and the worktop, apply the supplied self-

adhesive seal to the perimeter of the aperture. Do not use a silicone sealer.

• Invert the hob on the worktop adjacent to the aperture before making the electrical

connection. This will ensure sufficient cable length for subsequent servicing.

• Position the hob into the aperture so that the securing clips are compressed between the hob

base and the worktop. (see Sketch below).
