1. Before You Start...
Thank you for buying a Rangemaster hob. It should give you
many years 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 hob
before.
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking only. Using
it for any other purpose could invalidate any warranty or
liability claim.
Installation and Maintenance
In the UK, the electrical installation should be in accordance
with BS 7671. Otherwise, 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 hob is wired in and switched on.
It is recommended that this appliance is serviced annually.
Only a qualied service engineer should service the hob and
only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the hob to cool and then switch it o at the
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless specied otherwise in this guide.
Ventilation
Using a cooking appliance will result in the production of
heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Make
that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep natural ventilation
holes open or install a powered cooker hood that vents
outside. If you have several cooking zones on or use the hob
for a long time, open a window or turn on an extractor fan.
Personal Safety
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 tted 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, such as
credit and debit cards, oppy disk, calculators, etc.
away.
Accessible parts will become hot during use and will
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking.
Keep babies and children away from the hob and
NEVER wear loose–tting or hanging clothes while
the appliance is in use.
When not in use make sure that the hob is switched
OFF.
DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the hob
while it is on.
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 hob with wet hands.
NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure
build up may make the containers burst and cause
injury.
DO NOT use unstable saucepans. Always ensure that
you position the handles away from the edge of the
hob.
NEVER leave the hob 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.
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 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 multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type re extinguisher.
Take care that no water seeps into the appliance.
NEVER heat unopened food containers. Pressure build-up
may cause the containers to burst and cause injury.
The Induction Basic 3 meets the requirements of the
applicable EMC standards and the EMF guidelines
and should therefore not interfere with other
electronic devices.
Heating magnetic cans is prohibited. Closed cans
may explode due to the overpressure created during
heating! The danger of overheating exists also with
open cans, since the integrated protection against
overheating does not work!
Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains,
and ammable liquids a safe distance away from
your hob.

Hob Care
To fully utilise the power of your induction hob and to ensure
longevity of performance, we recommend the use of AGA
Rangemaster Induction Pots and Pans. If you decide to
purchase an alternative set of pans for use on your induction
cooker, we would strongly recommend that composite
aluminium pans with steel inserts, example shown Fig. 1.1,
are avoided. This type of pan construction can signicantly
reduce the lifetime and performance of your induction cook
top.
NEVER cook food directly on the hob surface Fig. 1.2.
Fig. 1.2
Fig. 1.3
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.
DO NOT leave the hob zones switched on unless being used
for cooking.
NEVER allow anyone to climb or stand on the hob.
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.
DO NOT place anything between the base of the pan and the
hob surface (e.g. asbestos mats, aluminium foil, Wok stand).
Fig. 1.4
Fig. 1.5
Take care NOT TO PLACE HOT LIDS onto the Hob surface.
Lids that have been used to cover a hot pan can “stick” or
create a “vacuum” eect to the Glass Hob. Should this occur,
DO NOT attempt to lift the lid o the glass surface, this may
damage the glass. Instead slide the lid to the edge of the
hob surface and remove, taking care not to scratch the hob
surface. Alternatively wait until the lid has cooled to room
temperature, the vacuum has been released, then remove the
lid by lifting it from the hob surface Fig. 1.5.
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.
Care should be taken that no water seeps into the appliance.
Avoid heating an empty pan. Doing so may damage both the
hob and pan.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners/pads, oven aerosols/pads or
stain removers on the surface.

We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas
until they have cooled and the residual heat indicator has
gone out. Sugar spills are the exception to this (see ‘Cleaning
your Hob’). After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to
remove any cleaning cream residue.
Cleaning
The ceramic surface should be washed after use in order to
prevent it from becoming scratched or dirty.
In the interests of hygiene and safety, the hob should be kept
clean at all times as a build up of fats and other foodstus
could result in a re.
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.

Fig. 2.2
When you rst switch on the hob after connection, a rapid
self-test of the control unit (calibration adjustment) is then
carried out.
The induction hob comprises of four cooking zones
containing induction elements with dierent ratings and
diameters (Fig. 2.1), each with a pan detector and residual
heat indicator.
Each zone is controlled via the touch sensitive controls with
an audible signal when operated (Fig. 2.2).

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.
Fig. 2.3
Fig. 2.4
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. 2.3). This ensures 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. 2.4). 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.
Always take care before touching the surface, even
when the hob is turned o. It may be hotter than you
think!
