INSTALLATION STANDARDS. Positioning the hobs Depending on the model to be installed, an opening with the dimensions shown in figure 1 will be cut into the unit’s worktop. The system for fixing the hob is intended for use with kitchen units with a thickness of 20, 30 and 40 mm. The hobs described in this manual can only be installed with Teka ovens models E or ES. The minimum distance between the surfa- ce supporting the cooking pans and the lower part of the kitchen unit or the hood located above the hob should be 650 mm. If the hood’s installation instructions recommend that the gap is greater than this, you should follow this advice. The unit where the hob and oven will be located will be suitably fixed. The glues used in manufacturing the kitchen unit and in the adhesive on the decorative laminate of the worktop surface should be made to tolerate tem- peratures of up to 100ºC. TEKA assumes no responsibility for any malfunction or damage caused by faulty installation. During installation, care must be taken not to break the glass.

Silicone should not be applied between the glass and the unit worktop because if it becomes necessary to remove the hob from its position, the glass could break when trying to detach it. Position the clips as shown in the diagram, fastening them to the openings in the lower part of the body using the screws provided. For worktop thicknesses of 30 mm. or less, use the self-tapping screws that are provi- ded as a fastening accessory - put them into the clip’s round hole. This hole will be threaded as the screw is inserted into it, and this should be done before fixing the clip to the worktop. Connecting the electricity Before connecting the hob to the electric mains, check that the voltage and fre- quency of the mains matches what is shown on the hob’s rating plate, which is located lower down, and on the guarantee certificate or, where appropriate, the tech- nical datasheet supplied, which should be kept together with this manual. The electric connection is made via an omnipolar switch or plug where accessi- ble, which is suitable for the intensity to be tolerated and which has a minimum gap of 3 mm between its contacts, which will ensure disconnection in case of emer- gency or when cleaning the hob. The connection should include correct ear- thing, in compliance with current norms. Avoid that the cabling remain in contact with neither the casing of the hotplate nor that of the oven. Joining the hob to the oven 1 Disconnect the electricity. 2 Partially place the oven in its position. 3 Plug in the connection(s) between the cooker and the oven (see fig. 3 and 4) to connect both appliances. Make sure the connectors fit completely in its sockets and the intersection haven’t caused the exit of any of the termi- nals. To check this, pull slightly the cables, one by one, making sure they have all kept in. 4 Finish inserting the oven into its definiti- ve position. Rear view of the oven.

Technical information Hob characteristics on device rear part. fig. 4Special requirements before first use Before connecting the hob to the electric mains, check that the voltage and fre- quency of the mains matches what is shown on the hob’s rating plate, which is located lower down, and on the guarantee or, where appropriate, the technical datas- heet supplied, which should be kept toge- ther with this manual. The apparatus is not designed to be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, mental or sen- sory abilities. It should also not be used by people that do not have experience handling the apparatus or who do not have knowledge of the apparatus, unless they are supervised by a person who is in charge of their safety. Children should not be allowed to play with the apparatus. This appliance is not designed to work through an external timer (not incorporated into the appliance itself) or a separate remote control system. Ceramic hobs with controls instructions Each of the glass ceramic hob’s heating elements is connected to a power regula- tor that controls the operating and stoppa- ge time of each of them (more or less heat). (See fig. 5) Each power regulator control knob has numbering from “0” to “12”. At postion “0” the hob does not operate, at position “1” there is not much operating time but a great deal of stoppage time. With the remaining control knob positions, the operating time increases while the stoppage time decreases, until at position “12” where operation is continuous, only cutting off when the warm hotplate’s ther- mostat cuts in to turn off the power when the maximum permitted temperature is reached. Before turning on one of the hob’s heating elements, you should identify the corres- ponding control. To this end, it is shown beside each control which heating element it corresponds to.

DOUBLE CIRCUIT INSTRUCTIONS

(view fig. 6) The double circuit heating elements are hotplates made up of two mutually inde- pendent heating elements, and they are controlled by a power regulator that allows the smaller, inside ring to be turned on, or both inside and outside at the same time. To only have the inside ring turned on, turn the control knob clockwise and set it to the position you require. To turn on the whole hotplate, set the control to position “12”

Indicator of the operation of the hotplate Position of the control button in standby position Power level indicator Use and Maintenance

fig. 5and go on turning, gently, until it goes past “0” and you hear a “CLICK”. Then set the control to the position required. When the whole hotplate is turned on, and you only want to have the smaller ring working, set the control to ZERO and then turn it on again. Whether only one ring is turned on, or both, you can regulate the temperature by setting the control to intermediary posi- tions, just as with the normal and halogen hobs described in the previous paragraph. With double circuit regulators, when the control is set to “0” it may only be turned clockwise, as there is a catch which prevents you moving from “0” to “12” and vice-versa.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS

When a heating area reaches a tempera- ture of more than 60±15ºC the correspon- ding residual heat indicator comes on, and stays on - even if the control is set to zero - until the temperature drops. However, special attention should be paid to the temperature of the cooking area because there is a possibility, albeit remote, that the indicator will fail and that the temperature in that area will not be shown. Advice on using the hotplates effectively In order to achieve the best results from cooking, the following guidelines should be followed:

• Use pans with a flat base, as the greater the surface contact between the pan and the glass, the greater will be the heat transmission. Figure 7 shows how pans that are dented or concave have a smaller contact surface.

• We recommend the use of heavy pans so that the base is more difficult to dent.

• The use of pans with a diameter which is smaller than that indicated in the heating area is not recommended.

• Make sure that the pans are well cen- tred on the outlines shown on the hea- ting area.

• Dry the pans’ bases before putting them on the glass ceramic hob.

• Do not leave any plastic object or uten- sil, or any aluminium foil, lying on the glass hob.

• Do not drag pans with corners or edges that could damage the glass.

• Do not use the glass ceramic hob without a pan on the area that is swit- ched on.

• Do not cook with plastic pans.

• Pans should be made of a material which is heat-resistent so that they do not melt on the glass.

• The glass will tolerate bangs from big pans that do not have sharp edges. Be careful with impacts from small, sharp instruments. Avoid spilling sugar, or products containing sugar, on the glass, since

fig. 6these may react with the glass and damage the surface. Cleaning and care To maintain the glass ceramic hob in good condition, it should be cleaned with suita- ble products. The glass ceramic hob should be cleaned each time it is used, when it is either lukewarm or cool. This makes cleaning easier and avoids dirt accumulating through repeated use. Never use aggressive cleaning products or products that can scratch the surfaces (the table below shows various common products that may be used). Neither should steam- based appliances be used to clean the hob.

CLEANING AND CARE THE GLASS

The degree of soiling should be taken into account when cleaning, and the items and products used should vary according to this. Light soiling Light, non-sticky, soiling can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a soft detergent or warm, soapy water. Heavy soiling Serious dirt and grease should be cleaned using an agent specially made for glass ceramic (for example, Vitroclen). Please follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Sticky stains that have been burned in can be removed by using a scaper with a razor blade. Rainbow colouring: Caused by pans that have dry bits of grease on their base or when grease gets between the glass and the pan while cooking. Can be removed from the surface of the glass using a nickel scourer with water or with a special glass ceramic cleaner (for example, Vitroclen). Plastic objects, sugar, or food with a high sugar content that are melted onto the hob should be removed immediately while hot, using a scraper. When the glass’ colour changes. This does not affect its effectiveness or stability, and is generally caused by inade- quate cleaning or by poor-quality pans. Metallic sheens are caused by metal pans

They can be remo- ved by thorough cleaning with a special, glass ceramic cleaning agent (for exam- ple, Vitroclen), although it may be that the cleaning needs to be repeated more than once. Worn trim is the result of using abrasive cleaning products or pans with uneven bases which wear down the serigraphy. Take great care when using the glass scraper. The blade can cause injury! Only use the blade on the glass ceramic surface - avoid the body of the scraper coming into contact with the glass, since this could scratch the glass ceramic. Use blades that are in perfect con- ditions, and change the blade as soon as it shows any sign of wear. When you finish using the scra- per, fold it away and cover it well up. (See fig. 8). Pans may stick to the glass if something has melted between them. Do not attempt to unstick the pan when it is cold - you could break the glass ceramic. Do not stand on the glass or lean on it, for it might break and cause injury. Do not put any objects down on the glass.

CLEANING AND CARE THE FRAME

Clean dirt off using a damp cloth or warm, soapy water. With stubborn stains, use a special glass ceramic cleaning agent, or a liquid polish for domestic appliances. Rub the product on without diluting it, leave it to work, and then wipe off with a dry cloth. Do not use metal scourers or hard synthetics.
