USER MANUAL A500 RAPOO

Use The ceramic hob The ceramic glass hob is resistant to all temperature shocks. Neither the heat or the cold will damage the hob. On the glass work surface the 4 cooking zones are indicated by a circle. The base of the pan should correspond with this circle. Single cooking zone The switch has 11 settings, you can also select any setting in between. Operating control light Depending on the model and design a control light is situated on either the hob itself or on the switch/control panel of the combi-oven. This light indicates that one or more cooking zones are in use. Residual heat indication Once a cooking zone has been switched on and a temperature of approx. 60 °C has been reached a light goes on. This light will burn as long as the zone remains hot. Once the zone has cooled down the light automatically goes off. Pans Use the hob for cooking only. A grain of sand can cause a scratch that cannot be removed. Do not slide pans across the hob surface and do not clean vegetables on it (see fig. 1). Use pans that are suitable for cooking by electricity. Place only pans with a clean dry base on the hob zones. This will prevent marking by lime-scale or other stains that are difficult to remove. Do not use pans that are smaller than the cooking zone. This will prevent food spills on the very hot cooking zone. Burnt-on food spills are difficult to remove (see fig. 2). Pans which have previously been used on gas hobs are no longer suitable for electric cooking. Make sure that both the base of the pan and the hob are dry. Always use a lid during cooking to minimise the loss of energy. USE Things to watch for ■ The appliance should only be connected by a qualified fitter (see electrical connection). ■ Disconnect the appliance before starting with cleaning or reparation. Preferably by taking the plug out of the socket or by turning off the mains switch. ■ Be careful when you are using earthenware, glass or metal objects above the cooking surface. A dropped herb jar, for example, can cause a crack. ■ If a crack appears in the hob surface you must switch off or disconnect the appliance from the mains. Do not use the appliance anymore and get in touch with the Service department. ■ This cooking appliance is designed for domestic use. Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than food preparation. ■ When cooking the hob becomes hot, children should always be kept at a distance. ■ The cooking surface must not be used for storage. ■ Plastic or aluminium foil should never be used as a container for the preparation of dishes (for example aluminium deepfreeze containers). Plastic and aluminium foil will melt and stick to your hob and can never be removed. ■ Grease and oil are flammable when over- heated. Stay near the cooker when preparing dishes. ■ Cords to electrical appliances – e.g. a mixer – may accidentally touch the cooking zones. ■ The zones must not be used without pans. Never put aluminium foil directly on the zone. ■ Do not place any inflammable or deformable objects immediately under the hob. ■ Clean the hob with soapy water. We advise you to treat the glass plate with Collo Profi before using your hob for the first time (see section on maintenance).

INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE Cleaning Daily Clean the ceramic hob after use. You can use, for example, a little washing-up liquid in water. Never clean the ceramic hob with an abrasive cleaning material! Weekly Special maintenance products for ceramic hobs, such as Collo Profi or Cerafix give the ceramic hob a protective layer. Treat the hob with these products also when obstinate stains have been removed. Stubborn stains You can remove burnt-on stains, metal and lime scale stains from the ceramic hob with such special cleaning materials as Jif, Collo Luneta or Stahlfix. Remove stubborn stains with a glass scraper. Boiled-over food residues Remove boiled-over food residues with a glass scraper. Molten plastic and sugar can also be removed with a glass scraper. Do not first allow the hob to cool completely. Special maintenance products for ceramic hobs (e.g. Collo Luneta) form an antistatic layer on the hob so that it attracts dust less readily. Installation Electrical connection 6000W - 230 V - 50 Hz The power supply to the hob is via the oven or the separate control panel. You can read how to connect the appliances to each other in the installation instructions for these appliances. Assembly Fit a wooden plate to protect the hob if the hob is combined with a control panel (see fig. 4). Please note: Do not fit a hob next to a cupboard or wall made of flammable material above the worktop. (If there is no alternative then keep to a minimum distance of 40 mm between the outer edge of the hob and this wall. This appliance complies with the CE directives. Keep a distance of at least 650 mm between the hob and any extractor hood to be fitted.) ■ Mark out the cut out (560 x 490 mm) on the worktop (see fig. 5).

fig. 5 min. 5 fig. 418 ■ Connect the unit plug to the oven or operating panel. ■ Stick the sealing strip supplied (A) onto the underside of the hob (see fig. 6). ■ Place the hob in the cut out and secure the fixing brackets (see fig. 7). ■ After fitting the hob check that the appliance operates correctly.
