Operation
Electric Hotplates
To switch on a hotplate, turn the relevant
control knob anticlockwise to the required heat
setting.
The control knob is numbered 1 - 6
OFF 0
MINIMUM 1 To keep food warm
Very Gentle To melt butter and
chocolate
Gentle 2 To prepare cream-sauces,
stews and milk puddings
or to fry eggs
Slow 3 Dried vegetables, frozen
food, fruit, boiling water
or milk
Medium 4 Boiled potatoes, fresh
vegetables, pâtés, soups,
broths, pancakes or fish
High 5 Larger stews, meat roll,
fish, omelettes, steaks
MAXIMUM 6 Steaks, escalopes and
Fast frying.
The hob has two types of hotplates:
Normal Hotplates -We recommend the
plates are switched to maximum (6) for a short
while to boost the plate, and then adjusted to
the required setting.
Rapid Hotplates -The rapid hotplates are
indicated by a red dot, and will heat up more
quickly than a normal plate. As the red dots are
painted on the plate, they may deteriorate
during use and even disappear completely
after a period of time. This will not affect the
performance of the hob.
It is important to note that the plate may
smoke and produce a slightly
unpleasant odour when used for the
first time. This is quite normal and will
disappear after a short while.
Electric Hotplates Control Light
The Hotplates Control Light will come on each
time a cooking zone is switched on.
Hints and Tips
Saucepans for use on solid plates should have
several characteristics:
They should be fairly heavy duty
They should fit the heat area exactly, or be
slightly larger for efficient use, NEVER
smaller.
They should have a flat base to ensure
good contact with the plate.
This is particularly important when using
pans for high temperature frying or
pressure cooking.
As soon as liquid starts boiling, turn down the
plate control knob so that it will barely keep
the liquid simmering.
You can switch off the plate a short while before
you finish cooking, and the final stage will be
completed on the accumulated heat. Similarly,
stews etc. cooked in well covered saucepans
cook at lower temperature which is more
economical.
Ensure pans are large enough to
avoid liquids being spilt onto the
plates.
Never leave the plates on without a
pan on them or with an empty pan on
them.
Take care never to lean or reach over
a hot electric plate. Always point pan
handles inward or over the work
surface next to the hob to avoid
accidentally knocking over a pan as
you pass by.
Take care when frying food in hot oil
or fat, as the overheated splashes
could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to
turn, please contact your local Service
Force Centre.

Maintenance
Something not
and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning
can be carried out, you must
DISCONNECT the hob from the
electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still
warm, as spillage can be removed
more easily than if it is left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft
cloth well wrung out in warm water to which a
little washing up liquid has been added. Avoid
the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such
as Hob Brite or Bar Keepers Friend is used.
The Hotplates
Spills onto the actual plate should be removed
using warm water and a soft brush, nylon or
plastic scourer. To keep the plates looking as
new, hotplate conditioner can be purchased
from most hardware stores, e.g. "4 Hob" by
HomeCare Products (follow the manufacturer's
instruction for use).
Alternatively, wipe the plates with a drop of
olive oil on a kitchen towel to avoid rust. It is
important to note that the plate will smoke a
little and produce a slightly unpleasant odour
when next used.
Stainless steel parts: the stainless steel spill
rings may become straw coloured with use.
Use a proprietary stainless steel cleaner to
remove this straw discolouration. This also
applies to the area around the hotplates on
stainless steel hobs.
Failure to clean and condition hotplates
may lead to rust and corrosion forming
on the surface.

Building over a cupboard or
drawer
If the hob is to be installed above a cupboard
or drawer it will be necessary to fit a heat
resistant board below the base of the hob on
the underside of the work surface.
It is also recommended to carry out the
electrical connection to the hob as shown in
diagrams 1 and 2.
Building over a kitchen unit
with door
Proper arrangements must be taken in
designing the furniture unit, in order to avoid any
contact with the bottom of the hob which can
be heated when it is operated. The
recommended solution is shown in diagram 3.
The panel fitted under the hob ("a") should
be easily removable to allow easy access if
technical assistance is needed. The space
behind the kitchen unit ("b") can be used for
connections.
Fitting the Hob into the
worktop
Carry out the building in of the hob as
follows:
1. put the seals supplied with the hob,
on the edges of the cut out, taking
care that the seals meet without
overlapping;
2. place the hob in the cut out, taking
care that it is centred;
3. fix the hob with the relevant fixing
clamps and screws, as shown in
