Peculiar Smells
When you rst use your cooker it may give o an odour. This
should stop after use.
Before using for the rst time, make sure that all packing
materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn 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’ below). People with respiratory or allergy
problems should vacate the area for this brief period.
Ventilation
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/
burners on, or use the cooker for a long time, open a window
or turn on an extractor fan
Maintenance
• It is recommended that this appliance is serviced
annually.
• DO NOT use cooking vessels on the hotplate that
overlap the edges.
• Unless specified otherwise in this guide, always allow the
cooker to cool and then switch it off at the mains before
cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work.
• DO NOT use the control knobs to manoeuvre the cooker.
• NEVER operate the cooker with wet hands.
• DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a
glove – it might catch fire if brought into contact with a
hot surface.
• DO NOT use hotplate protectors, foil or hotplate covers
of any description. These may affect the safe use of your
hotplate burners and are potentially hazardous to health.
• 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 fire. Use a deep fat
thermometer whenever possible to prevent fat
overheating beyond the smoking point.
• Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in fire.
• 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.
• NEVER try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until the fat is cool. 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.
• DO NOT use the top of the flue (the slot along the back
of the cooker) for warming plates, dishes, drying tea
towels or softening butter.
• DO NOT use water on grease fires and never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off and then smother
a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan
completely with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If
available, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
• DO NOT modify this appliance. This appliance is not
intended to be operated by means of external timer or
separated remote-control system.
• If flammable materials are stored in the drawer, oven(s)
or grill(s) it may explode and result in fire or property
damage.

ArtNo.312-0003 Moving pans
Induction and Ceramic Care
• Important information for pacemaker and
implanted insulin pump users: The functions of this
hob comply with the applicable European standards
on electromagnetic interference. If you are fitted
with a pacemaker or implanted insulin pump and are
concerned please consult your doctor for medical
advice.
• When the hob is in use keep magnetic items away, such
as credit and debit cards, memory sticks, calculators, etc.
• Take care when touching the marked cooking areas of
the hob.
• Use adequately sized pans with flat bottoms that are
large enough to cover the surface of the hotplate
heating area. Using undersized pans will expose a
portion of the hotplate surface to direct contact and
may result in the ignition of clothing
• Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for use on the
warming zone; others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature.
• Only certain types stainless steel, enamelled steel pans
or cast iron pans with enamelled bases are suitable for
induction hob cooking.
• Take care NOT to scratch the surface when placing
cookware on the glass panel.
• Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed containers are suitable for hotplate
cooking; others may break because of the sudden
change in temperature. NEVER cook directly on the hob
surface (Fig. 1.1).
• 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. 1.2).
• Should a crack appear in the surface, disconnect the
appliance immediately from the supply and arrange for
its repair.
• Always LIFT pans off the hob. Sliding pans may cause
marks and scratches (Fig. 1.3).
• 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 off 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.
• We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit
areas until they have cooled and the indicator light
has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this (see
ArtNo.090-0007 90 Ceramic:

Hob Care
• NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
• 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 in use (e.g. tea towels, frying
pans containing oil).
• DO NOT place plastic or aluminium foil, or plastic
containers on the hob.
• Always turn the control to the OFF position before
removing a pan.
• Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage
both the hob and pan.
Grill/Glide-out Grill™ Care
• 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.
• DO NOT leave the grill on for more than a few moments
without the grill pan underneath it, otherwise the knobs
may become hot.
• NEVER close the grill door when the grill is on.
• Accessible parts may be hot when the grill is in use.
Young children should be kept away.
Cooling Fan
This appliance may have a cooling fan. When the grill or oven
is in operation the fan will run to cool the fascia and control
knobs.
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).
‘Cleaning your Cooker’). After cleaning, use a dry cloth
or paper towel to remove any cleaning cream residue.
• The ceramic surface should be washed after use in order
to prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty. Clean
the hob with caution as some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface..
• DO NOT leave the hob unattended. Care should be
taken to not allow your cookware to boil dry. It will
damage your cookware and Induction Glass Hob.
• After use, switch off the hob element by its control. DO
NOT rely on the pan detector.
Oven Care
• When the oven is not in use and before attempting
to clean the cooker always be certain that the control
knobs are in the OFF position.
• Use oven gloves to protect your hand from potential
burns.
• Cooking high moisture content foods can create a
‘steam burst’ when the oven door is opened (Fig. 1.4).
When opening the oven, stand well back and allow any
steam to disperse.
• The inside door face is constructed with toughened
safety glass. Take care NOT to scratch the surface when
cleaning the glass panel.
• Accidental damage may cause the door glass panel to
fracture.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
• 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.
• Make sure the shelves are pushed firmly to the back
of the oven. DO NOT close the door against the oven
shelves.
• DO NOT use aluminium foil to cover shelves, linings or
the oven roof.
• When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door open
for longer than necessary, otherwise the control knobs
may become very hot.
• DO NOT use the timed oven if the adjoining oven is
already warm.
• DO NOT place warm food in the oven to be timed.
• DO NOT use a timed oven that is already warm.
• Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch a
hot surface.

Cleaning
• Isolate the electricity supply before carrying out any
thorough cleaning. Allow the cooker to cool.
• In the interests of hygiene and safety, the cooker should
be kept clean at all times as a build up in fats and other
food stuff could result in a fire.
• Clean only the parts listed in this guide.
• Clean with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot surface, be careful to avoid steam
burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
• NEVER use paint solvents, washing soda, caustic
cleaners, biological powders, bleach, chlorine based
bleach cleaners, coarse abrasives or salt.
• DO NOT mix different cleaning products – they may
react together with hazardous results.
• All parts of the cooker can be cleaned with hot soapy
water.
• Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
• Before you remove any of the grill parts for cleaning,
make sure that they are cool or use oven gloves.
• DO NOT use any abrasive substances on the grill and
grill parts.
• DO NOT put the side runners in a dishwasher.
• DO NOT put the burner heads in a dishwasher.
• NEVER use caustic or abrasive cleaners as these will
damage the surface.
• DO NOT use steel wool, oven cleaning pads or any other
materials that will scratch the surface.
• NEVER store flammable materials in the drawer.
This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such
as cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as
flammable liquids.
• DO NOT store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or

The 90 induction cooker (Fig. 2.1) has the following features:
A. 5 induction cooking zones
B. A control panel
C. Glide-out Grill™ with 4 position Trivet
D. Multifunction oven
E. Tall fan oven
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
