- This board will effectively shield the user from the base of the hob which gets hot during use. The board needs to be removable for service purposes as the hob, once installed, can only be loosened from below.

- If the appliance is installed with a side adjacent to a vertical kitchen cabinet, the distance between the edge of the appliance and that of the cabinet side must be at least 150mm. The distance between the back wall and the rear edge of the hob must be at least 55mm.

Tips for energy saving

The following information will help you to use your hob in an ecological way, and to save energy:

• Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
• Select the burner which is suitable for the bottom size of the pot to be used. Always select the correct pot size for your dishes. Larger pots require more energy.
• Pots with a thick base will provide better heat conduction. You can obtain energy savings up to 1/3.
• Pots must be compatible with the cooking zones. The bottom of the pots must not be smaller than the hotplate. Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that of the thermal area. This will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot zone.
• Keep the cooking zones and the bottom of the pots clean. Dirt will decrease the heat conduction between the cooking zone and the bottom of the pot.
• Use only pots with a solid, level base. An uneven base will prolong cooking time and waste energy.
• Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimize spillage.
• Save energy by switching the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of a lengthy cooking period. The hob will retain sufficient residual heat to complete the cooking process.
• A pot with rough edges could scratch the appliance surface if it were dragged across the surface of the appliance.
• Any spillage of sugar solution such as jam must be removed immediately. If allowed to cool on the surface, it could pit and damage the surface.
• Do not cover the appliance surface with aluminium foil and do not use poor quality aluminium pots. These will leave unsightly deposits which, in time, could adhere to the surface of the hob.

As soon as we touch a key, the [KEYLOCK_LED] goes on and we can continue to operate as normal, unlocking the keyboard if necessary and touching the [ON_OFF_KEY] key to switch ON the Cooktop.

If the cooktop is OFF and locked, the Key Lock LED is ON when we touch any key

Residual Heat

Radiant Heaters Residual Heat

Once cooking has finished, the user interface indicates if there is remaining heat in the corresponding heater.

Remaining heat will be indicated only when the heater temperature goes beyond 65°C (149°F). To ensure that a heater reaches a temperature greater than this, it is necessary that the heater is working for more than 7 seconds in a power level greater than zero.

As radiant heaters temperatures are not read directly, it is necessary to estimate the time that the heater will be hot after cooking.

During this time, shown in table 1, letter 'H' will be shown alternatively with '0', indicating hot remaining.

Automatic actions

Protection from accidental activation of keys

If any key/s is continually pressed for more than 10 seconds, the cooktop is switched off automatically. A warning beep sounds every 10 sec., while the key/s is/are activated.

Heater auto switch off in a specific time

After the maximum time of operation at the same power level, the heater is switched off automatically.

The heater auto switch off time is automatically reset when the power level is changed.

Thermal protection of the control.

When the control user interface detects an ambient temperature above 96°C (±5%), it switches off the cooktop. Any heater switched off by the thermal protection can only be reactivated when the temperature falls below 89°C (±5%).

When the heater power control detects an unusually high operating temperature for its devices, it switches off all the heaters until the temperature reaches normal operating values, thereafter continuing with their previous power level values.

Stop & Go function

The Stop and Go function allows temporary pausing of the cooking process, allowing the user to answer the door or the telephone without having to be concerned about contents of pots boiling over.

This function is also useful to clean the user interface surface without changing the cooking set up.

If the [STOP_GO_KEY] is pressed for more than 120 milliseconds:

• The [STOP_GO_LED] flashes, a [STOP&GO_SOUND] sounds and the cooktop is stopped,
• the heaters actual power setting is stored and all the active heaters power is set to power level 0,
• the heaters auto switch off time is stopped,
• all timers running count downs are stopped,
• all keys are locked except [STOP_GO_KEY] and [ON_OFF_KEY],
• timer displays nothing, and all the heaters displays are switched on and display "0".

Stop & Go

The stop function will finish:

• if the [STOP_GO_KEY] is touched for more than 120 milliseconds a beep sounds and the heaters actual power setting is restored, or
• if the cooktop is stopped for more than 10 minutes the cooktop is switched off automatically.

Operating the timer

The timer value can be selected between 1 and 99 minutes. It is possible to set the time for any heater at any power level, including power level 0.

The user can select only one heater at a time on which the timer function is to operate. The timer's last minute will be displayed in seconds.

The [+TIMER] [-TIMER] keys will be locked: o If the Cooktop is off, or o if the key lock is activated (KEYLOCK LED on).

Selecting a timer for a heater

Once a heater is selected, a switch-off time can be selected by touching the [+TIMER] or [-TIMER]. When the timer is off, it is activated by pressing the timer keys [+TIMER] or [-TIMER]. A beep sounds, the timer display shows a "00" flashing and the timed heater LED flashes.

• if there is an error.

Selecting the time

The timer display flashes whilst the timer is awaiting a time selection. The timer value can be selected between 1 and 99 minutes touching the [+TIMER] or [-TIMER] keys. If the key [+TIMER] or [-TIMER] associated with the timer is held down, the change speed is increased automatically. This makes it possible to reach the desired time setting more quickly. Depending on the configuration of the model, the time may be increased in increments of 1 by 1 or 5 by 5.

Selecting the time

If the time is not selected before 5 seconds, the timer is switched off.

If the selected time is "00" after 5 seconds the timer is switched off.

Starting Timer Countdown

The countdown starts 5 seconds after the last operation over the [+TIMER] or [-TIMER] key.

A beep sounds and the timer display stops flashing and the led heater also stops flashing if any power level is selected.

The last minute will be displayed in seconds.

When more than one heater is timed the timer displays will show the timer that is going to elapse first. The active heater timer LED will be flashing.

More than one heater timed

Autokey-lock

When all the heaters are not powered, and one heater is temporized at zero power level, the key-lock function is activated after 1 minute.

Selecting Independent Minute Minder

The Independent Minute Minder is available only if enabled in the configuration of the touch model. It cannot run at the same time with any heater timer.

When attempting to temporize a selected heater when the Minute Minder is running, or to select the Minute Minder when a heater is already timed, an audible beep sounds [KEYBOARD_ERROR_SOUND], disabling the action.

When selecting a heater power level and the Minute Minder is running, the selected heater cannot be temporized.

If any heater is timed then the Minute Minder cannot be selected.

Remember it is possible to set the time for any heater at power level 0.

If no heater is selected, touching the Timer [+TIMER] or [-TIMER] a beep sounds, the timer display shows a "00" flashing and the display unit digit point flashes.

The Minute Minder is selected

It works exactly like a heater timer. When the Independent Minute Minder is selected, touching the Timer [+TIMER] or [-TIMER] key the independent minute minder is selected.

The countdown starts 5 seconds after the last operation over the [+TIMER] or [-TIMER] key, or any key is touched.

A beep sounds and the timer display digit stops flashing; the digit unit digit dot however continues flashing.

Errors/Alarms

Appliance errors

Appliance errors are the errors which generate the deactivation of the whole cooktop.

When an appliance error is detected, all heaters are switched off, a beep sounds (only if one or more heaters are active) and all displays show an 'F' letter and the error code alternately.

While in error status all the heater keys are not operative.

Problem check

Before calling a service technician to assist with a problem:

PROBLEM

The plates do not work

SOLUTION

Check there is power to the wall switch.

Remember that you may be charged for a service call even during the warranty period if the fault is due to or caused by the above.

WARNING: In the unlikely event of the Ceran sustaining accidental damage or cracks, switch off the appliance at the mains to avoid electric shock and have the panel replaced before further use.

Caring for the Ceran hob

• Ceran is a tough, durable material, which provides a beautiful, functional and long lasting cooking surface. To keep it looking good, it needs to be treated with care and cleaned regularly.
• Wipe spillage off as soon as possible with a damp cloth, preferably while the hob is still warm.
• Clean the hob with a nylon pad and a suitable smooth top cleaning solution, which is available from all Beko Service Centres. Remove calcium stains (yellow stains) by applying a small amount of lime remover such as vinegar or lemon juice. Other suitable commercially available products can also be used.
• If necessary stubborn spills may be removed using the blade scraper provided.
• Do not use metal scourers or coarse abrasive powders as these could scratch the Ceran.
• Regular cleaning after use will prevent dirt build up and ensure that the hob remains bright and attractive.
• Wipe the hob surround with a damp hot soapy cloth and dry. • DO NOT USE A STEAM CLEANER.

Recommendations

• Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base will prolong cooking time and waste energy.
• Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than that of the thermal area. This will ensure even heat distribution and prevent spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot zone.
• Always cover the pot with a lid. This will conserve energy and minimize spillage.
• Save energy by switching the plate off 5 to 10 minutes before the end of a lengthy cooking period. The Ceran hob will retain sufficient residual heat to complete the cooking process.
• A pot with rough edges could scratch the Ceran if it were dragged across the surface of the hob.
• Any spillage of sugar solution such as jam must be removed immediately. If allowed to cool on the Ceran, it could pit and damage the surface.
• Do not cover the Ceran with aluminium foil and do not use poor quality aluminium pots. These will leave unsightly deposits which, in time, could adhere to the Ceran.
