Frequently Asked Questions - LCHOBTC14 Logik

What type of gas does the Logik LCHOBTC14 cooker use?

It is designed for natural gas but can be converted to LPG (bottled gas) using a conversion kit. Consult the manual for instructions.

How do I clean the gas hob?

Remove pan supports and burner caps. Wash with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Ensure burner ports are not blocked.

Why won't the oven heat up?

Check that the power supply is connected and the oven function selector is set to a heating mode. If it still fails, the heating element or thermostat may be faulty; contact a qualified technician.

What is the oven capacity?

The oven has a capacity of approximately 65 litres, suitable for medium-sized dishes and multiple trays.

Can I use the cooker with a timer?

This model does not include a built-in timer. You may use an external timer to monitor cooking times.

The flame is uneven on the burners. What should I do?

Check that the burner caps are correctly positioned and the ports are clean. If the problem persists, the gas pressure may be low or the injector may need adjustment.

How do I replace the oven light bulb?

Disconnect the power. Remove the glass cover, unscrew the bulb (typically 25W, 300°C resistant), and replace with a new one. Reattach the cover and restore power.

Is the cooker suitable for a 13-amp plug?

The oven requires a dedicated 220-240 V supply with a 13-amp fuse. The hob uses gas, so no electrical connection is needed for the burners.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts are available from Logik authorised service centres. Visit the Logik website or contact customer support for your nearest centre.

What should I do if the flame failure device trips?

Hold the knob pressed for 5-10 seconds after lighting to ensure the thermocouple heats up. If it continues to trip, the thermocouple may be dirty or faulty.

Before Using Your New Ceramic Hob

• Remove all protective film that may be still on your ceramic hob.
• Clean the glass ceramic surface with a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive detergents such as abrasive cleaners that can scratch the surface, abrasive dishwashing sponges, or stain removers.

Choosing the Right Cookware

Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.

Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

Always lift pans off the ceramic hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

* All images are for indication only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.

Using the touch controls

• The controls respond to touch, so you don't need to apply any pressure. • Use the ball of your finger.
• You will hear an audible tone each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean and dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.

Covering the controls

If you accidentally cover the controls or the control panel is very dirty, the hob will beep and the display will flash four 'F's.

Using your ceramic hob

Switching on and off

1. Touch the ⏻ control. The hob will switch on, and the power level 0's will be displayed, and the active indicators will flash. If no controls are touched, the hob will switch off after 9 seconds.
2. Touch the ① control again to switch the hob off. If a cooking zone is still hot, the letter 'H' will be displayed to show it's still very hot, then it will change to 'h' when it's hot but cooling.

• The 'H' symbols will flash in the display the first time your hob is connected and switched on. This is because the hob has been heat tested at the factory, then switched off while still hot. This may also happen if you are using the hob and you have a power cut. This is not a fault. The 'H's' will disappear from the display when you start using the hob.
• Do NOT touch the cooking zones when the hob is switched on or when a 'H' or 'h' are displayed, as the cooking zones will be hot.
• The touch controls may become very warm to the touch after prolonged use. Please take care when operating the controls; they could be very warm.

Selecting a cooking zone

Your ceramic hob has 4 cooking zones: two small 145mm diameter zones, one medium 180mm diameter zone, and one large 210mm diameter zone.

1. Touch the desired cooking zone control to select the cooking zone. The zone active indicator will flash for 8 seconds to show that the zone is ready for you to select a power level.

Setting the power level

Each cooking zone has 9 power levels and a warming setting.

1. Select a cooking zone, then while the zone indicator light is flashing, touch the ⊕ or ⊖ controls to select a temperature setting. The zone selection will cancel if no temperature selection is made within 8 seconds.
2. You will hear a bleep and the zone indicator light will switch off when the cooking zone has reached your desired setting.

If you want to adjust the temperature setting at any point you will first have to select the cooking zone, adjustments can only be made when the zone indicator light is flashing. It will flash for 7 seconds.

• Occasionally the heated areas may be seen switching on and off when higher heat settings are used. This is due to a safety device, which prevents the glass from overheating. Some switching on and off when cooking at high temperatures, e.g. deep fat frying is quite normal, causes no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times. Excessive switching may however be caused by the use of an unsuitable saucepan or a saucepan which is smaller than the heated area. If excessive switching occurs, discontinue the use of the saucepan.
• To improve performance, and reduce energy, always use pans with close fitting lids. Do NOT touch the cooking zones when the hob is switched on or when a 'H' or 'h' are displayed as the cooking zones will be hot.

Warming setting

This hob features a warming setting on all cooking zones. Selecting the warming setting will keep food warm at a constant 65°C.

1. Select the cooking zone by touching the cooking zone control.
2. While the zone indicator light is flashing, touch the + control to select power level 1, then touch the - control. The symbol 📋 will appear on the display.

Automatic shut off

For improved safety your hob is designed to shut off after a pre set maximum time for each power level. Even though the hob will automatically switch off, this will not prevent food from over cooking and burning. This is to prevent the hob accidentally being left on. Each power level has a specific operating time (see table below). The cut off time is measured from the last power level adjustment made per cooking zone.

Power Level	u 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Maximum operating time (hours)	6 6 6 5 5 4 1.5 1.5 1 5 1.5

If the automatic shut off function has been activated, the cooking zone will show a residual heat indication.

Switching a cooking zone off

1. First select the cooking zone that you want to switch off by touching the cooking zone selector control.
2. While the zone indicator light is flashing repeatedly touch the ⏻ control until the setting reaches '0'. or

Touch and hold the ⏚ and ⓣ controls together and the power level will automatically select '0'.

Power boost function

The power boost function sets a cooking zone to full power for a set time (this varies depending on the power level you have selected) then reduces the power level to your desired level. This is useful if you want a pan to come to the boil quickly then simmer.

Power Level	u 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Number of Minutes at Full Power	- 1 3 4.8 6.5 8.5 2.5 3.5 4.5 -

1. Select a cooking zone.
2. Touch the + or - control and set the power level to 9. Then touch the + control, the display will show an alternating 'A' and '9'.
3. Touch the ⏻ control within 8 seconds to set the power to your desired level. The power boost feature can be set at any power level (1-8). The display will flash with the power level set and then an 'A'. If power level is not set the cooking zone will be set to level 9

The power boost function will be cancelled if you reduce the power level at any time.

* All images are for indication only; please refer to your individual unit for actual item.

Residual Heat Indicator

The heating zones will still be hot once switched off. A warning symbol will appear on the display to indicate that it is still hot:

'H' on the display indicates that the temperature of the heating zone is above 60°C

'h' indicates that the heating zone temperature is between 45°C and 60°C

These symbols will disappear once the temperature drops below 45°C.

If you have a power cut there will be no residual heat warning symbols showing on the display, but the heating zones may still be very hot.

Setting the child lock

Setting the child lock will stop any of the controls from working so a child can't operate the hob or if you leave anything on the controls it won't switch on.

1. Touch the Ⓘ control to switch the hob on.
2. Touch and hold the ⓝ control for 3 seconds. The hob will beep and the lock indicator light will flash on and off.
3. None of the controls will now work.

The child lock can also be activated while a cooking zone is in use. If the child lock is set the hob can only be switched off, when switched back on all of the controls will be locked.

Switching off the child lock

1. Touch the control to switch the hob on.
2. Touch and hold the ⏻ control for 3 seconds. The hob will beep and the lock indicator light will flash on and off. You will now be able to use all the controls again.

Before attempting any cleaning, make sure the hob is switched off and has cooled down.
