WARNINGS AND GUIDANCE
It is most important that this instruction book should be retained with the appliance for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, or should
you move house and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with the
appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the functions of the appliance and
the relevant warnings.
These warnings are provided in the interest of safety. You MUST read them carefully
before installing or using the appliance.
•This appliance is designed to be operated by
adults, for non professional purpose in private
houses only. Children should not be allowed to
tamper with the controls or play with the product.
•Any installation and electrical work must be
undertaken by a qualified electrician or competent
person. The appliance must be installed
according to the instructions.
•It is dangerous to alter the specifications or
modify the product in any way.
•Ensure that the gas supply complies with the gas
type stated on the identification label, placed near
the gas supply pipe.
•Using a gas cooking appliance will produce heat
and moisture in the room which it has been
installed in. Ensure a continuous air supply,
keeping the air vents in good conditions or
installing a cooker hood with discharge tube.
•In case of intensive or long time use of the
appliance, make the ventilation more efficient,
by opening a window or increasing the electric
exhaust fan power.
•Do not use this appliance if it is in contact with
water. Do not operate the appliance with wet
hands.
•Always ensure that the control knobs are in the
'OFF' position when not in use.
•Hobs became very hot with use and retain their
heat for a long period of time after use. You must
therefore take great care when using the
appliance. Children should be supervised at all
times and should not be allowed to touch the hot
surface or be in the vicinity when in use or until
the appliance has cooled after use. Children also
can injure themselves by pulling pans or pots off
the hob.
•The cooking zones heat up quickly when they are
turned on. Turn them on only when you have
placed a saucepan onto the cooking area.
•If you use an electric socket close to the hob, take
care when using an electrical appliance that the
cable does not touch the hot surface of the hob.
•Do not leave items on the hob surface. Any item
you place on the hob could be damaged if the hob
is accidentaly turned on.
•Unstable or misshapen pans should not be used
on the hob as unstable pans can cause an
accident by tipping or spillage.
•Never leave the hob unattended when working
with oil and fats because of the danger of fire.
•Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the
hob surface.
•Always remove any spillage from the surface of
the hob immediately. Do not allow spills to dry and
harden.
•If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
heated area of the hob, the handle may become
hot. Please, ensure that you protect your hands
before touching the handle.
•Certain food, plastic items and areosols can be
affected by heat and should NOT be stored above
or below the hob unit.
•Under no circumstances should you attempt to
repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out
by inexperienced persons may cause injury or
more serious malfunctioning. Refer to your local
Tricity Bendix Service Centre. Always insist on
genuine Tricity Bendix spare parts.
Your safety is of paramount importance.
Therefore, if you sre unsure about any of the
meanings of these WARNINGS, contact the

OPERATION
HOB BURNERS
To light a burner, turn the relevant knob
anticlockwise to maximum position and push
down the knob to ignite.
Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control
knob to zero, and try again.
When switching on the mains, after installation
or a power cut, it is quite normal for the spark
generator to be activated automatically.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, it is
strongly recommended that you use only pots
and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of the
burner used (see table), so that flame will not
spread beyond the bottom of the vessel. It is
also advisable, as soon as a liquid starts boiling,
to turn down the flame so that it will barely keep
the liquid simmering.
FO 0252
IMPORTANT
Be very careful when frying food in hot oil or fat,
as the overheated splashes could easily ignite.
IMPORTANT
If the control knobs become difficult to turn,
please contact your local Tricity Bendix Service
Centre.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be
carried out, you must DISCONNECT the
appliance from the electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spellage can be removed more easily that if it is
left to cool.
The pan supports, burner caps and crowns can
be lifted off for cleaning.
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft
cloth weel wrung out in warm water to which a
little liquid detergent has been added. Avoid the
use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick
saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as
Hob Brite is used.
Clean the pan supports, the burners taps and
crowns using hot detergent water, and remove
marks with a mild paste cleaner. A weel
moistened soap impregnated stell wool pad can
be used with caution, if the marks are
particularly difficult to remove. The burner crown
may loose its matt surface after several
cleanings but this will no way impair ist function.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft
cloth.
The pan supports are dishwasher proof. If
washinf them by hand, take care when drying
them as the enamelling process occasionally
leaves rough edges.
