Safety information for this appliance

This appliance is intended for domestic use only. This appliance must only be used for food preparation. Do not leave the appliance unattended during operation.

Safe operation

Adults and children must not operate the appliance without supervision if:
they do not have the physical or mental ability,
or they lack the knowledge and experience required
2 Ø = cm

Overheated oil and fat

Risk of fire!
Overheated oil or fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave hot oil or fat unattended. Never attempt to extinguish burning fat or oil with water. Extinguish the flames with a lid or a plate. Switch the hotplate off.

Hot hotplates

Risk of burning!
Never touch hot hotplates. Small children must be kept at a safe distance from the hob.

Cracks in the ceramic

Risk of electric shock.!
Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box if the ceramic has fractures, flaws or cracks. Call the after-sales service.

Incorrect repairs

Risk of electric shock.!
Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box, if the appliance is faulty. Call the after-sales service. Repairs may only be carried out by one of our qualified after-sales engineers.
Risk of fire!
Never place combustible items on the hob.
Do not keep combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers
directly underneath the hob.

Wet saucepan bases and hotplates

Risk of injury!
Steam pressure may build up if there is liquid between the saucepan base and the hotplate. This may cause the pan to jump suddenly. Always keep the hotplate and saucepan bases dry.

Causes of damage

Caution!

Rough pot and pan bases scratch the ceramic.
Avoid boiling pots dry. This may cause damage.
Never place hot pots or pans on the control panel, the
display area or the surround. This may cause damage.
Damage can occur if hard or pointed objects fall on the hob.
Aluminium foil and plastic containers melt on hot hotplates.
Oven protective foil is not suitable for your hob.

Overview

The following table provides an overview of the most frequent kinds of damage:
Damage Cause Action
Stains Food spills Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
Rough pot and pan bases scratch
Check your cookware.
the ceramic.
Discolouration Unsuitable cleaning agents Only use cleaning agents which are suitable for ceramic
Pan abrasion (e.g. aluminium) Lift the pots and pans when moving them.
Blisters Sugar, food with a high sugar content Remove spills immediately with a glass scraper.

Environmental protection

Unpack the appliance and dispose of the packaging in an environmentally-responsible manner.

Environmental protection

This appliance is labelled in accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (WEEE – waste electrical and electronic equipment). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable.

Tips for saving energy

Always use the right lid for the pan in question. Cooking
without the lid requires four times as much energy.
Use pots and pans with even bases. Using cookware with
uneven bases increases energy consumption.
The diameter of the base of your pot or pan should match the
size of the hotplate. In particular, if pots that are too small are placed on the hotplate, energy is wasted. Please note: Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top of the pan. This is usually bigger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
Use a small pan for small quantities of food. A larger, less full
saucepan requires more energy.
Use only a little water when cooking. This saves energy. It
also preserves vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
Switch to a lower heat setting as soon as possible.
Use the residual heat of the hob. For longer cooking times,
you can switch the hotplate off 5 - 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

Setting the hob

This section informs you how to set the hotplates. The table shows heat settings and cooking times for various meals.

Switching the hob on and off

You can switch the hob on and off with the hotplate controls.

Hotplate and residual heat indicators

The hotplate and residual heat indicators e light up when a hotplate is warm:
Hotplate indicator - during operation, shortly after you have
switched on a hotplate.
Residual heat indicator - after cooking, when the hotplate is
still warm.
You can use the residual heat to save energy, e.g. to keep a small dish warm or to melt chocolate.

Setting a hotplate

Adjust the heat setting of the hotplates using the hotplate controls.
Heat setting 1 = lowest setting Heat setting 9 = highest setting
Note: Hotplate temperature is regulated by the heat switching on and off. The heat may also switch on and off at the highest setting.

Table of cooking times

The following table provides some examples. Cooking times and heat settings may vary depending on the
type of food, its weight and quality. Deviations are therefore possible.

Installation instructions

The following must be noted

The appliance must only be connected to the power supply by a licensed professional. Your safety when using the appliance can only be guaranteed if it has been correctly installed in accordance with these installation instructions. Any damage occurring due to the appliance being incorrectly connected is not covered under the guarantee. The individual who installed the appliance is liable for damage resulting from improper installation.
Protection against accidental contact must be ensured through the manner of installation. .
The hob and the cooker or control unit must be from the same manufacturer and be equipped with an identical combination mark.
They must have the same nominal voltage (see rating plate). Take account of the cooker or control unit installation
instructions. The work surface must be stable, level and horizontal.
IE 01450 2655
Trust the expertise of the manufacturer, and rest assured that the repair will be carried out by trained service technicians using original spare parts for your domestic appliance.

Connecting the hob

The cooker or control unit should be connected to the mains, but switched off.

Preparing the units

After cutting the necessary holes in the work surface, remove the shavings.
The units into which the hob and cooker are fitted must be heat-resistant up to 90 ºC. Minimum distance to the side walls: 70 mm.
Seal the cut surfaces to make them heat-resistant. This prevents the surfaces from swelling as a result of moisture.

Installing the hob

Do not trap cables during installation. Push the hob in until it locks into place.
1. Pull out the cooker far enough to make the socket
accessible.
2. Screw the hob's earthing conductor S (green/yellow) on to
the cooker earthing point $.
3. Plug the hob connector into the cooker or control unit. The
colour of the cable should agree with the colour shown on the label. The lug N on the plug must point to the left.
Slide the cooker back in. Do not trap cables while doing this.
Note: Seal the tile joints on tiled work surfaces with silicone rubber.

Removing the appliance

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Pull out the cooker a short distance. Pull out the hob connector. Finally remove the earthing conductor. Push out the hob from below.
