•Repairs to the appliance are only to be carried out by approved service persons. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your local Service Centre.

•This connection may be achieved by having the plug accessible or by incorporation a switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

Please follow these instructions, otherwise the warranty will not cover any damage that may occur.

•Flush-mounted appliances may only be operated following installation in suitable cabinets and workplaces which conform to the relevant standards. This ensures sufficient protection against electric shock as required by certification body.

•If your appliance malfunctions or fractures:

– switch off all cooking zones, and contact Service Center.

If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock. Do not re-use your hob until the glass surface has been changed.

When using Hob, never use aluminum foil, products wrapped in aluminum foil, or deep frozen food in aluminum cookware.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Child Safety

This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the appliance safely.

Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

WARNING: Accessible parts may become hot during use. Young children should be kept away.

The cooking zones will become hot when you cook. Therefore, always keep small children away from the appliance.

Although cooktop is equipped with a control lock, surfaces may still be hot.

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.

•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

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!

•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.

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.	8

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%.
