INDHOLD INNHOLD INHOUD

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BOOKLET CAREFULLY TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR HOB. We recommend you keep the instructions for installation and use for later reference, and before installing the hob, note its serial number in case you need to get help from the after sales service.

• It is strongly recommended to keep children away from the cooking zones while they are in operation or when they are switched off, so long as the residual heat indicator is on, in order to prevent the risks of serious burns.
• When cooking with fats or oils, take care always to watch the cooking process as heated fats and oils can catch fire rapidly.
• Aluminium foil and plastic pans must not be placed on heating zones.
• After every use, some cleaning of the hob is necessary to prevent the build up of dirt and grease. If left, this is recooked when the hob is used and burns giving off smoke and unpleasant smells, not to mention the risks of fire propagation.
• It is advisable not to stare directly at the halogen elements.
• Do not touch the heat zones during operation or for a while after use.
• Never cook food directly on the glass ceramic hob. Always use the appropriate cookware.
• Always place the pan in the centre of the unit that you are cooking on.

4. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The furniture in which your hob will be installed and all adjacent furniture, should be made from materials that can withstand high temperatures. In addition, all decorative laminates should be fixed with heat-resistant glue. Inst allation (Fig. B / D):

• A watertight seal is supplied with the hob. Before fitting: - turn the hob upside down, with the glass surface facing downwards. Make sure the glass is protected. - fit the seal round the hob. - make sure that it is correctly fitted to avoid any leakage into the supporting cabinet. "The installation must conform to the standard directives." The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage that may be caused by unsuitable or unreasonable use.

we cannot be held responsible for any incident or it consequences that may arise during the use of an appliance not linked to the earth, or linked to an earth whose continuity is defective.

• Always check before any electrical operation, the supply tension shown on the electricity meter, the adjustment of the circuitbreaker, the continuity of the connection to earth to the installation and that the fuse is suitable.

• Leave a gap of at least 5 cm between the appliance and the vertical sides of the adjacent furniture.

• The electrical connection to the installation should be made via a socket with a plug with earth, or via an omnipole cut-out switch.

• If, when installing the hob, the lower hob face is adjacent to an area normally accessible when handling or cleaning, fit a partition 1 cm below the base of the hob to avoid any risk of scorching or damage. If the appliance has a socket outlet, it must be installed so that the socket outlet is accessible.
• The yellow/green wire of the power supply cable must be connected to the earth of both power supply and appliance terminals.
• Any queries regarding the power supply cord should be referred to After Sales Service or a qualified technician. 5 GB-IE

• The hob is fitted with a power supply cord which allows it to be connected only to a power supply of 220-240 V between phases or between phase and neutral : - connect to a socket, to choose the correct fuse, you must refer on the t able. THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE - The following information will help you to choose cookware which will give good performance. Stainless S teel : highly recommended. Especially good with a sandwich clad base. The sandwich base combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat distribution). It is however possible to connect the hob to : . Three phases 220-240 V3~ . Three phases 380-415 V3N~ Aluminium : heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity. Aluminium residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium should not be used.

• hilight zone : a metallic conductor strip is spread uniformly over the whole surface unit. It is effective within 3 seconds and is suitable for steady, homogeneous and also sustained cooking. The glass-ceramic hob benefits from greater heat output which is generated by the hilight cooking zones thereby accelerating the cooking process. Modifications to the design of the hob have not affected the capacity of the glass to withstand high temperatures, but they have improved controllability. With the "Sprinter" facility, reduced cooking times of up to 15% can be achieved, depending upon the method of cooking and the type of saucepans being used.

6. HOB COOKWARE ADVICE

Using good quality cookware is critical for setting the best performance from your hob.

• Locate the sign corresponding to the cooking zone that you need: Each surface unit is regulated by a control knob which provides access to any power levels.
• It is recommended that heat setting is at its highest until it has properly warmed up and then lower to the desired cooking setting.
• The residual heat indicator lights up when the heat zone temperature reaches 60°C and above. It will stay on, even if the unit is switched off, until the surface has cooled down. It will switch off when the temperature of the heat zone falls below 60°C.
• To switch off an heat zone, turn the corresponding knob back on the "0" setting.
• Positions : the examples below are intended as a guide. When you become familiar with using your hob you will be able to work out the settings which suit you best. Positions Some tip s... 1 Very low To keep a dish hot, melt butter and chocolate... 2 Low Slow coocking, sauces, stews, rice pudding, poached eggs... 3 Moderately Beans, frozen foods, fruit, boiling water...
• Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and thick bases : using this type of cookware will prevent hot spots that cause food to stick. Thick metal pots and pans will provide an even distribution of heat.
• Ensure that the base of the pot or p an is dry : when filling pans with liquid or using one that has been stored in the refrigerator, ensure that the base of the pan is completely dry before placing it on the hob. This will help to avoid staining the hob.
• Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely cover the surface unit : the size of the pan should be no smaller than the heating area. If it is slightly wider the energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. 4 Medium Steamed apples, fresh vegetables, pasta, crepes, fish... 5 High More intense coocking, omelettes, steaks... 6 Very high Steaks, chops, frying... 6 GB-IE

• Before carrying out any maintenance work on the hob, allow it to cool down.
• Only products, (creams and scrapers) specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces should be used. They are obtainable from hardware stores.
• Avoid spillages, as anything which falls on to the hob surface will quickly burn and will make cleaning more difficult.
• It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which are liable to melt, such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based products. MAINTENANCE: - Place a few drops of the specialised cleaning product on the hob surface. - Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp kitchen paper. - Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean. If there are still some stubborn stains: - Place a few more drops of specialised cleaning fluid on the surface. - Scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of 30° to the hob, until the stains disappear. - Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean. - Repeat the operation if necessary. A FEW HINTS: Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to prevent scratches and wear. Make sure that the surface is clean before using the hob again. To remove marks left by water, use a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then wipe with absorbent paper and a few drops of specialised cleaning fluid. The control knobs can be removed for a complete cleaning. However , you must care not to let any liquid go into the open zones, and then to push the knobs fully on fitting back. The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from flatbottomed cooking vessels, however, it is always better to lift them when moving them from one zone to another. The cooking zones do not simmer or only fry gently
• Only use flat-bottomed pans. If light is visible between the pan and the hob, the zone is not transmitting heat correctly.
• The pan bottom should fully cover the diameter of the selected zone. The cooking is too slow
• Unsuitable pans are being used. Only use flatbottomed utensils, that are heavy and have a diameter at least the same as the cooking zone. Small scratches or abrasions on the hob’s glass surface
• Incorrect cleaning or rough-bottomed pans are used; particles like grains of sand or salt get between the hob and the bottom of the pan. Refer to the “CLEANING” section; make sure that pan bottoms are clean before use and only use smooth bottomed pans. Scratches can be lessened only the cleaning is done correctly. Metal marks
• Do not slide aluminium pans on the hob. Refer to the cleaning recommendations.
• You use the correct materials, but the stains persist. Use a razor blade and follow the “CLEANING” section. Dark stains
• Use a razor blade and follow the “CLEANING” section. Light surfaces on the hob
• Marks from an aluminium or copper pan, but also mineral, water or food deposits; they can be removed using the cream cleaner. Caramelisation or melted plastic on the hob.
• Refer to the “CLEANING” section. The hob does not operate or certain zones don’t work
• The shunts are not positioned correctly on the terminal board. Have a check made that the connection is done in compliance with the recommendations. “H” display, residual heat indicator, blinking.
• The electronic temperature is too high. A technician should verify the fitting in compliance with the recommendations. PROBLEM SOLVING
