WARNING: The appliance and its accessible

parts become hot during use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements. Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless continuously supervised.

Safety During Use

• This appliance may only be used for normal

cooking and frying in the home. It is not designed for commercial or industrial purposes.

• Do not use the hob to heat the room.

• Take care when plugging in electric appliances

near the hob. Connection leads must not come into contact with the hot surface.

• Overheated fats and oils catch fire quickly. You

should supervise cooking when preparing foods in fat or oil.

Safety

• Switch off the cooking zones after use.

• Always keep the control panels clean and dry.

• Never place combustible items on the hob.

• You must not keep any combustible items aerosol

cans in a drawer located under the hob.

• The service cables from electrical appliances

must not touch the hot plates. This could cause damage to the hob and cable insulation.

Safety When Cleaning

• Always switch off the appliance before cleaning.

• For safety reasons do not clean the appliance

with a steam jet or high pressure cleaner.

• Clean the hob in accordance with the

maintenance and cleaning instructions in this manual.

• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp

metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

How to avoid damage to the appliance

• Do not use the cooking area as a worktop or

storage space.

• Please be careful the edges when moving pots

and pans around.

• Do not have the cooking zones on with empty

pans, or with no pots or pans on them.

• Ceramic glass is very tough, and impervious to

sharp temperature changes, but is not unbreakable. It can be damaged if particularly hard or sharp objects fall on to it.

• Be very cautious if using pots made of cast iron,

or other pots with rough edges or burrs. Moving these can cause scratches on glass.

• If sugar or a mixture containing sugar falls onto a

hot cooking zone and melts, remove immediately, while still hot. If left to cool down, it may damage the surface when removed.

Important: There is a risk of burning yourself

when the glass scraper is used on a hot cooking zone!

Safety

• Keep objects or materials liable to melt away

from the ceramic glass surface, for example, plastic utensils, aluminium foil, or cooking wraps. If any other materials or foodstuffs have melted on the ceramic glass surface, these should also be cleaned away immediately.

WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with

fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire.

NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but

switch off the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.

WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items

on the cooking surfaces.

Disposal of old appliances

WARNING: Before disposing of old appliances

please make them inoperable so that they cannot be the source of danger.

To do this, have a qualified person disconnect the appliance from the house circuitry.

To protect the environment, it is important that worn out appliances are disposed of in the correct manner.

• The appliance must not be disposed of with

household rubbish.

• You can obtain information about collection dates

or public refuse disposal sites from your local Council or Environmental Health Office.

Note: Moisture coming from or appearing around

Hob.

The moisture could be coming from the wood and hob when the hob is operated initially or after long time of no operation. This is not a fault with the Hob.

Suitable Kitchenware

Pots and pans

The better the pot, the better the cooking results.

• You can recognize good pots and pans by their bases. The base

should be as thick and flat as possible.

• When buying new pots and pans, pay particular attention to the

diameter of the base. Maunfacturers often only state the diameter of the rim.

• Pots with aluminum, or copper bases can cause metallic

discolouring on the ceramic glass surface which is very difficult or impossible to remove.

• Be very careful when using cast iron pots or pots with damaged

bases which are rough and or have burrs on them. Scratches can occur if they are slid across the surface.

• When cold, pot bases are normally bowed slightly in wards

(concave). They should never be bowed outwards (convex).

• If you use special pots and pans (e.g., a pressure cooker,

simmering pan, wok etc.) please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.

General information

• The base should always be clean and dry.

• In order to avoid ugly scratches on the ceramic glass cooking

surface, do not slide pots and pans around but lift them up instead when changing positions.

• Scratches can result from grains of sand (e.g., after washing out

vegetables) which are dragged with the pot across the cooking surface.

• Always use large pots for dishes with lots of liquid so that nothing

can boil over.

Tips on saving energy

You will save valuable energy by observing the following points:

• Always position pots and pans before you switch on the cooking

zone.

• Dirty cooking zones and pot bases increase the power

consumption.

• Whenever possible, always have the lid firmly placed on the pots

and pans so that they are completely covered.

• Switch off the cooking zones before the end of the cooking time to

use the residual heat for keeping food warm or for melting purposes.

• The base of the pot should have the same size as the cooking

zone.

• Using a pressure cooker shortens the cooking times by up to 50%.

4. Then wipe the ceramic glass surface using plenty of clean water

and rub dry with a clean fluff-free cloth.

Stubborn Soiling
