Guide to Use the instructions
The following symbols will be found in the text to guide
you throughout the Instructions:
To light a burner, turn the relevant control knob
anticlockwise to maximum position. At the same time
push the electric ignition pushbutton which is marked by
a little spark. Then adjust the flame as required.
If the burner does not ignite, turn the control knob to
zero, and try again.
To ensure maximum burner efficiency, you should only
use pots and pans with a flat bottom fitting the size of
the burner used (see table).
Burnerminimummaximum
diameterdiameter
Ultra-rapid
(Double-crown)180 mm.260 mm.
Large (rapid)180 mm.260 mm.
Medium (semi-rapid)120 mm.220 mm.
Small (Auxiliary)80 mm.160 mm.
Using the Wok Stand
If you use a saucepan which is smaller than the
recommended size, the flame will spread beyond
the bottom of the vessel, causing the handle to
overheat.
As soon as a liquid starts boiling, turn down the
flame so that it will barely keep the liquid
simmering.
A wok stand is provided to enable you to use a round
bottomed wok on the hob. The wok stand must only be
used on the central burner, and should not be used with
any other type of wok or pan.
When fitting the wok stand, ensure the recesses in the
frame fit securely onto the bars of the pan supports, as
shown in the diagram.
Take care when frying food in hot oil or fat, as the
overheated splashes could easily ignite.
If the control knobs become difficult to turn, please
contact your local Service Force Centre.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any maintenance or cleaning can be carried
out, you must DISCONNECT the hob from the
electricity supply.
The hob is best cleaned whilst it is still warm, as
spillage can be removed more easily than if it is
left to cool.
The Hob Top
Regularly wipe over the hob top using a soft cloth well
wrung out in warm water to which a little washing up liquid
has been added. Avoid the use of the following:
- household detergent and bleaches;
- impregnated pads unsuitable for non-stick saucepans;
- steel wool pads;
- bath/sink stain removers.
Should the hob top become heavily soiled, it is
recommended that a cleaning product such as Hob Brite
or Bar Keepers Friend is used.

Page 5
Pan Supports and Wok Stand
To keep the pan supports in the correct position, they
are hooked into hinges at the back of the hob.
The pan supports can be lifted for easier cleaning, as
shown in fig. 1.
To remove the pan supports completely, proceed as
shown in fig. 2.
The pan supports and the Wok Stand are dishwasher
proof. If washing them by hand, take care when drying
them as the enamelling process occasionally leaves
rough edges. If necessay, remove stubborn stains using
a paste cleaner.
The Burners
The burner caps and crowns can be removed for cleaning.
Wash the burner caps and crowns using hot soapy water,
and remove marks with a mild paste cleaner. A well
moistened soap impregnated steel wool pad can be used
with caution, if the marks are particularly difficult to
remove.
After cleaning, be sure to wipe dry with a soft cloth.

Electrical connections
Any electrical work required to install this hob
should be carried out by a qualified electrician or
competent person, in accordance with the current
regulations.
THIS HOB MUST BE EARTHED.
The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.
This hob is designed to be connected to a 230-240V
50Hz AC electrical supply.
Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply
voltage is the same as that indicated on the hob rating
plate. The rating plate is located on the bottom of the
hob. A copy is attached on the back cover of this book.
The hob is supplied with a 3 core flexible supply cord
incorporating a 3amp plug fitted. In the event of having to
change the fuse, a 3amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse
must be used.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, the
wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue- Neutral
Brown- Live
Connect the green and yellow (earth) wire to

the terminal in the plug which is marked with
the letter 'E' or the earth symbol or coloured
green and yellow.
Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal
in the plug which is marked with the letter 'N' or
coloured black.
Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in
Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands
of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over
the outer sheath.
A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a
seriuos safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut
off plug is disposed of safely.
Permanent Connection
In the case of a permanent connection, it is necessary
that you install a double pole switch between the hob
and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap
of 3 mm. between the switch contacts and of a type
suitable for the required load in compliance with the current
electric regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth
cable at any point.
