q Always select a saucepan that is the right size for
the food to be cooked. A large saucepan that is
only halfĆfilled will consume more energy.
q Saucepans and frying pans should always be
covered by a matching lid.
q Using a saucepan base that is the same size as
the hotplate ensures the optimum transfer of heat.
When purchasing saucepans, check that the
manufacturer frequently specifies the top diameter
of the pan rim. Generally, this value is greater than
the diameter of the pan base.
q Switch back to a lower heat setting at the
appropriate time.
Page 4
q Make use of the residual heat. For longer cooking
times, it is possible to switch off the hotplate 5 to
10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
q Even though the hotplate has been switched off,
you can use it for as long as the residual heat
indicator is illuminated to warm dishes or melt
ingredients.

Before connecting your new
appliance
Please read this instruction manual carefully before
using your new hob for the first time. The instructions
contain important information with regard to user
safety and appliance use and care.
q The electrical connection of your appliance must
be carried out by an approved technician only.
Incorrect connection invalidates any warranty
claims in the event of appliance damage.

Page 5
q Please retain these operating and installation
instructions. The envelope for the operating
instructions contains details of the afterĆsales
service which you may need to call if repairs are
required. Please submit the operating and
installation instructions to any subsequent user
of the appliance.
q Do not operate the hob if transport damage is
apparent.
Important information
q This appliance complies with all regulations
Safety information
relevant to electrical appliances. Repairs should
only be carried out by service engineers trained
by the manufacturer. Repairs that have not been
carried out properly represent a considerable
hazard to the user.
q This appliance must be used for the preparation
of food only.
18
q The hob and pans or utensils can become very
hot while it is in use. Make sure that children are
always kept away from the hob.
q Do not leave the hob unattended if you are
cooking with fat or oil. Oil can catch fire if it
overheats. Never pour water onto burning oil or fat.
Burns hazard! Cover the pan in order to smother
the flames and switch off the cooking zone. Leave
the pan to stand on the hob until it has cooled
down.
q The connecting cords of electrical appliances
must not come into contact with the hot cooking
surfaces, as this could result in damage to the hob
and the connecting cord's insulating jacket.

How to prevent
damage to your
appliance
Utensils
q In the event that a drawer is located beneath the
hob, you must not store any combustible items
or spray cans in the drawer. Do not place any
combustible items on top of the hob.
q If any cracks, fissures or other breaks appear
on the hob, it must be rendered inoperable
immediately. The hob should be switched off either
via the cooker fuse or circuitĆbreaker in the main
fuse box, or unplugged from its source of power,
whichever is applicable.
q Caution! The saucepan base and the hotplate
must be dry whilst cooking. Any liquid between the
cookware base and the hotplate will vaporize. The
ensuing steam pressure can cause the saucepan
to jump violently. Risk of injury!
q Observe the residual heat indicator. This provides
an indication of which hotplates are still hot.
q Switch off the hotplate if the indicator does not
work when the hotplate is heating.
Call the afterĆsales service.
Please heed the following information in order to preĆ
vent damage to your hob and to keep it in good conĆ
dition:
q Pots and pans should not have a rough base
otherwise they will scratch the cooking zone.
q Do not prepare food in aluminium foil or plastic
containers as the material will melt and stick to
the hob.
q Do not let enamel pans boil dry as this could
damage the base of the pan and the glassĆ
ceramic.
q If you are using special utensils, observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
19
Page 7
Cooking zone
q Do not use the hob as a storage space or work
surface. Salt, sugar or sand (can occur when
vegetables are cleaned) can cause scratches on
the hob.
q Ensure that no hard or sharp object is dropped
onto the hob, otherwise it could become damaged
as a result.
q Only clean the hob when it has cooled, i.e., when
the residual heat display no longer illuminates.
If used when the hotplate is hot, agents used for
cleaning and care of the hotplate will cause stains.
q Do not use a protective foil on the hob.
q Do not put any hot pans on the display panels, the
adjustment range or the hob surround.
Hob discoloration
Examples of possible
damage
Iridescent discoloration (metallic shimmer) is caused
by particles rubbing off the bases of some pans or by
using unsuitable cleaners. This can be removed with
Sainsbury's CERAMIC Hob CLEANER or Hob Clean
but it is a timeĆconsuming job. Our customer service
will remove such stains at a charge. Aggressive or
abrasive cleaning agents will rub off the decor,
causing dark patches.
Any food remains that were not removed and have
become baked on will also cause hob discoloration.
They do not influence the function or stability of the
glass ceramic.
Pitting caused by melted
sugar or food with a high
sugar content.
Scratches caused by
salt, sugar, sand or rough
pan bases.

Care and cleaning
Hob
24
Do not under any circumstances use a highpressure
or steam cleaner.
A protective cleaning agent will coat the
glassĆceramic hob with a gleaming, dirtĆrepellent film.
This will help to preserve the attractive appearance of
your hob over a long period of time and make it easier
to clean as well. We recommend you use cerafix"
which can be purchased from chemists, hardware
stores or supermarkets.
Clean the hob every time that you use it, so that food
remains are prevented from being baked on to the
surface.
Page 12
Water spots can also be removed using lemon juice or
vinegar. If you accidentally spill acidic liquids onto the
hob frame, please wipe off immediately using a damp
cloth. Otherwise dull areas may appear on the hob
surface.
Note:
If the hob is very dirty, it is best to use a common
household glass scraper.
Do not under any circumstances use an abrasive
sponge or a scouring agent. Nor should any
chemically aggressive cleaners such as oven
sprays or stain removers be used.

Iridescent discoloration (metallic shimmering) is

unsuitable cleaners. This can be removed with
Sainsbury's CERMAIC Hob CLEANER or
Hob Clean but it is a timeĆconsuming job.
Our afterĆsales service will also remove such
discolourations for a small fee.

Hob surround
Note
The hob surround is best cleaned with lukewarm
soapy water. Do not use a sharp or abrasive cleaning
agent.
q The temperature of the hotplate is controlled via
the switching on and off of the heater; This means
that the hotplate does not always glow red. If you
select a lower heat setting, the heater will switch
off more often than with a higher heat setting. The
heater still switches on and off even on the highest
setting.
q A quiet buzzing sound may be heard when the
hotplates are heating up.
The heater of the individual hotplates may glow
to varying degrees of brightness. It may appear
to extend outside the borders defining the cooking
zone, depending on the angle from which it is
observed.
This represents a technical characteristic and has
no influence on quality or function.
q Irregularities on the surface are a natural
characteristic of glassĆceramic products.
The hob's mirror finish can mean that even
the smallest bubble, less than 1 mm in diameter,
is more or less visible. They neither impair the
performance nor the durability of the
glassĆceramic hob.
