Your cooker should give you many years of trouble-free
cooking if installed and operated correctly. It is important
that you read this section before you start, particularly if you
have not used an induction cooker before.
CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes
only. It must not be used for other purposes, for
example room heating. Using it for any other
purpose could invalidate any warranty or liability
claim. Besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel
and may overheat the control knobs.
Installation and Maintenance
All installations must be in accordance with the relevant
instructions in this booklet, with the relevant national
and local regulations, and with the local electricity supply
companies’ requirements.
Make sure that the cooker is correctly wired and switched on.
The hob control display will ash for about 2 seconds
during rst power setting – this is normal.
Set the clock to make sure that the ovens are functional –
see the relevant section in this manual.
It is recommended that this appliance is serviced annually.
Only a qualied service engineer should service the cooker,
and only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it o at the
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless specied otherwise in this guide.
Peculiar Smells
When you rst use your cooker it may give o an odour. This
should stop after use.
Before using your cooker for the rst time, make sure that all
packing materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn all the ovens to 200 °C and run
for at least an hour.
Before using the grill for the rst time you should also turn on
the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position,
pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air (see
‘Ventilation’). People with respiratory or allergy problems
should vacate the area for this brief period.
Ventilation
CAUTION: The use of a cooking appliance results in
the production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. Therefore, make sure that the
kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation
holes open or install a powered cookerhood that
vents outside. If you have several hotplates on, or
use the cooker for a long time, open a window or
turn on an extractor fan.

ArtNo.312-0001 Not cooking surface
Always be certain that the controls are in the OFF position
when the oven is not in use, and before attempting to clean
the cooker.
Take care when touching the marked cooking areas
of the hob.
When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door
open for longer than necessary, otherwise the
control knobs may become very hot.
When using the grill, make sure that the grill pan
is in position and pushed fully in, otherwise the
control knobs may become very hot.
Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains, and
ammable liquids a safe distance away from your cooker.
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker
while it is on.
Cooking high moisture content foods can create a ‘steam
burst’ when an oven door is opened (Fig. 1-1). When opening
an oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves
might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove – it
might catch re if brought into contact with a hot surface.
NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.
DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings
or the oven roof.
NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make the containers burst and cause
injury.
DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always make sure
that you position the handles away from the edge of
the hotplate.
Never leave the hotplate unattended at high heat settings.
Pans boiling over can cause smoking, and greasy spills may
catch on re. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible
to prevent fat overheating beyond the smoking point.
WARNING!
Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in re.
NEVER leave a chip pan unattended. Always heat fat
slowly, and watch as it heats. Deep fry pans should
be only one third full of fat. Filling the pan too full
of fat can cause spill over when food is added. If you
use a combination of oils or fats in frying, stir them
together before heating, or as the fats melt.
Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen
foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble
up and over the sides of the pan. Carefully watch for spills or
overheating of foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures. Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a
deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.
Do not use the top of the ue (the slots along the back of
the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea towels or
softening butter.

DO NOT use water on grease res and never pick
up a aming pan. Turn o the controls and then
smother a aming pan on a surface unit by covering
the pan completely with a well tting lid or baking
tray. If available, use a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type re extinguisher.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
This appliance is heavy so take care when moving it.
Hob Care
NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
NEVER cook directly on the hob surface (Fig. 1-2).
DO NOT use the hob surface as a cutting board.
DO NOT leave utensils, foodstus or combustible items on
the hob when it is not is use (e.g. tea towels, frying pans
containing oil).
DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic
containers, on the hob.
DO NOT leave the hob zones switched on unless
being used for cooking.
DO NOT stand or rest heavy objects on the hob. Although the
ceramic surface is very strong, a sharp blow or sharp falling
object (e.g. a salt cellar) might cause the surface to crack or
break (Fig. 1-3).
Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the
appliance immediately from the supply and arrange
for its repair.
Always LIFT pans o the hob. Sliding pans may cause marks
and scratches (Fig. 1-4). Always turn the control to the OFF
position before removing a pan.
Take care when placing hot lids onto the hob
surface. Lids that have been covering boiling or
steaming foods can ‘stick’ to the ceramic glass.
Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid
o the hotplate: this may damage the hob surface.
Instead, carefully slide the lid to the edge of the hob
surface and remove.
DO NOT place anything between the base of the pan and the
hob surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, wok stand).
Take care NOT to place metallic objects such as
knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob surface
since they can get hot.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of external timer or separated remote-control
system.
Cooker Care
As steam can condense to water droplets on the cool outer
trim of the oven, it may be necessary during cooking to wipe
away any moisture with a soft cloth. This will also help to
prevent soiling and discolouration of the oven exterior by
cooking vapours (Fig. 1-5).

The Hob
Use only pans that are suitable for induction hobs. We
recommend stainless steel, enamelled steel pans or cast iron
pans with enamelled bases. Note that some stainless steel
pans are not suitable for use with an induction hob so please
check carefully before purchasing any cookware.
Pans made of copper, aluminium or ceramic are not suitable
for use on an induction hob. The kind of pan you use and the
quantity of food aects the setting required. Higher settings are
required for larger quantities of food.
Pots and pans should have thick, smooth, at bottoms
(Fig.2-2). This allows the maximum heat transfer from the
hob to the pan, making cooking quick and energy ecient.
Never use a round-bottomed wok, even with a stand.

The very best pans have bases that are very slightly curved
up when cold (Fig.2-3). If you hold a ruler across the bottom
you will see a small gap in the middle. When they heat up the
metal expands and lies at on the cooking surface.
Make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry to prevent
any residue burning onto the hob panel. This also helps
prevent scratches and deposits.
Take care when placing hot lids onto the hob
surface. Lids that have been covering boiling or
steaming foods can ‘stick’ to the ceramic glass.
Should this occur, DO NOT attempt to lift the lid
o the hotplate: this may damage the hob surface.
Instead, carefully slide the lid to the edge of the hob
surface and remove.
Always use pans that are the same size as (or slightly larger
than) the areas marked on the hob. Using a lid will help the
contents boil more quickly.
Always take care before touching the surface, even
when the hob is turned o. It may be hotter than you
think!
The induction hob comprises of ve cooking zones
containing induction elements with dierent ratings and
diameters (Fig.2-4) each with a pan detector and residual
heat indicator, and a hob control display.
The hob control display (Fig.2-5) informs you of the following
induction hob functions:
Pan Detector
H Residual Heat Indicator
A Automatic Heat-up
Child Lock
L1/L2 Low Temperature Setting
P Power Boost Setting
Pan Detector,
IMPORTANT: After use, switch o the hob element by its
control and DO NOT RELY on the pan detector.
If a cooking area is switched on and there is no pan in place
or if the pan is too small for the cooking area, then no heat
will be generated. The symbol [
] will appear on the hob
control display; this is the “pan-missing symbol”. Place a pan
of the correct size on the cooking area and the [ ] symbol
will disappear and cooking can begin. After 10 minutes
without detecting a pan the cooking zone will switch o
automatically.
Table 2-1 shows the minimum pan sizes recommended for
each cooking zone.
Note: Using pans with a base diameter smaller than those
recommended will result in a power reduction.
Fig. 2.4
Fig. 2.5

Residual Heat Indicator, H
After use, a cooking zone will remain hot for a while as heat
dissipates. When a cooking zone is switched o the residual
heat indicator symbol [H ], will appear in the display. This
shows that the cooking zone temperature is above 60 °C and
may still cause burns. Once the temperature has dropped to
below 60 °C the [H ] will go out.
Automatic Heat-up, A
This function is available on all of the cooking zones. It
allows rapid heating up of the element to bring the selected
cooking zone up to temperature. Once the zone is at the
required cooking temperature the power level will reduce
automatically to the preset level.
The function is selected by turning the control knob to the
‘A’ position. Turn the control knob momentarily counterclockwise from the zero position until the symbol [
A ] is shown
on the hob control display.
Once the [
A ] is displayed, turn the control knob to the level
of your choice (1 to 9). The pan will heat up at 100% power
for a specied time before the power is reduced to the level
selected.
When the Automatic Heat-up function is activated, the hob
control display will ash alternately between the [
A ] setting
and the chosen power level.
Once the Automatic Heat-up time has ended the hob display
will stop ashing and will show the chosen power level.
The Automatic Heat-up function can be stopped by either
turning the control knob back to the “0” power setting or
turning the control knob to the “9” power setting.
For your guidance Table 2-2 shows the time available at
100% power depending on the power level selected in the
Automatic Heat-up mode.
Child Lock,
IMPORTANT: The child lock can only be activated when all
the cooking zones are switched o.
To prevent the unwanted use by children, the hob can be
locked.
To lock the hob, simultaneously turn the two left-hand
controls counter-clockwise (Fig.2-6) and hold until the
symbol appears in the centre of the hob control display
(Fig.2-7).
Note: [
A ] will ash when locking the hob – this is normal.
Locking the hob will NOT aect the oven; it can still be used.
To unlock the hob, simultaneously turn the two left-hand
controls counter-clockwise and hold until the
symbol
disappears from the centre of the hob control display.

Low Temperature Setting, L1/L2
Each cooking area is equipped with 2 low temperature
settings:
• L1 will maintain a temperature of about 40 °C – ideal for
gently melting butter or chocolate.
• L2 will maintain a temperature of about 90 °C – ideal for
simmering (bring the pan to the boil and then select L2
to keep soups, sauces, stews, etc at an optimal simmer).
The maximum time this setting can be used is 2 hours. To
increase the heat, just turn the control knob to the required
level.
Power Boost Setting, P
All of the induction cooking zones have Power Boost
available, activated by turning the control knob clockwise
until [P ] is shown on the hob control display.
Power Boost allows additional power to be made available for
each of the cooking zones. This is useful to bring a large pan
of water to the boil quickly.
The Power Boost function operates for a maximum of 10
minutes on each zone, after which the power is automatically
reduced to setting 9.
When using the Power Boost function, the cooking zones are
linked.
Fig.2-8 shows the hob layout. Zones A and B are linked
together as are zones C, D and E.
This means that when using zone A on Power Boost and then
switching zone B to Power Boost , the power to zone A will
reduce slightly. The last zone switched to power boost always
takes priority. Zones C, D and E work in the same way.
This is a built-in safety device.
Deactivate the Power Boost function by turning the control
knob to a lower setting.
Overheat Function
This function identies when the temperature of the pan rises
rapidly and works to maintain a safe level of pan temperature.
It should not interfere with normal cooking.
Cookware with bases that become distorted (Fig.2-2) when
heated may interfere with the operation of the Overheat
Function. This may result in damage to your cookware or
Induction Glass Hob.
Please remember not to leave the hob unattended.
Care should be taken to not allow your cookware to
boil dry. Damage to your cookware and Induction
Glass Hob may result.
Please read and follow the manufacturers’ instructions
carefully before using cookware on your induction hob.

The Glide-out Grill
CAUTION: This appliance is for cooking purposes
only. It must not be used for other purposes, for
example room heating.
CAUTION: Accessible parts may be hot when the grill
is in use. Young children should be kept away.
Open the door and pull the grill pan carriage forward using
the handle (Fig.2-9).
The grill has two elements that allow either the whole area of
the pan to be heated or just the right-hand half.
Adjust the heat to suit by turning the knob. To heat the whole
grill, turn the knob clockwise (Fig.2-10).
To heat the right-hand half, turn the knob counter-clockwise.
The neon indicator light by the grill control will come on.
For best results, slide the carriage back into the grill chamber
and preheat the appropriate part(s) of the grill for two
minutes. The grill trivet can be removed and the food placed
on it while you are waiting for the grill to preheat.
DO NOT leave the grill on for more than a few
moments, without the grill pan underneath it,
otherwise the knobs may become hot.
Once the grill has preheated, slide the carriage out again.
With the trivet back in place with the food on it, slide the
carriage back into the grill chamber. Make sure that it is
pushed right in.
The grill pan trivet can be turned over to give two grilling
positions (Fig.2-11).
NEVER close the grill door when the grill is on.
