your ceramic hob introduction

your ceramic hob contents

This Atag ceramic hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. The generous separation of the cooking zones makes for ease of cooking.

Where applicable, the hob has a double cooking zone. This cooking zone is especially suitable for large pans. The cooking zones can be controlled accurately (9 settings) using soft touch controls.

The appliance (HL60..C) is equipped with synchro-start. If you have an extractor hood that is also equipped with synchro-start, it will start up automatically when you use the controls on the hob.

The ceramic hob is fitted with a childproof lock and a cooking-time limiter for optimum safety.

when installing the appliance

This appliance should only be connected up by registered installer.

Never open the casing of the appliance.

during use

Watch out with young children; the appliance is hot during and after use.

This appliance has been designed for domestic use. You should only use it for cooking food.

The appliance is hot both during and after use. Bear this in mind if young children come anywhere near the appliance.

Do not place any objects on the touch controls. Doing so will cause the hob to switch off and an error code will appear.

Never leave an empty pan on a cooking zone that is switched on. Do not allow the pan to boil dry, either. Although the hob is protected against overheating, the pan will get very hot, which may damage it.

Do not use pans that are smaller than the cooking zone. This will prevent food remains ending up on the red-hot cooking zone. Burnt-on food remains are difficult to remove.

Do not use pans that are smaller than the cooking zone.

Grease and oil are flammable when overheated. Stay near the cooker when preparing dishes.

Damage arising from the use of unsuitable pans or from boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.

The ceramic cooking surface is very strong but not unbreakable. It may be cracked if, for example, a spice jar or pointed object falls on it.

Do not use the appliance if there are any cracks or splits in it. Switch the appliance off immediately. Take the plug out of the socket and phone the service department.

Do not use aluminium foil, such as the trays from ready-made meals, for cooking food in.

If aluminium foil melts on the cooking surface, it cannot be removed.

Grains of sand may cause scratches that cannot be removed.

• Only put pans with a clean and dry base on the cooking surface. This prevents lime stains or other stains that are difficult to remove.
  • Always pick pans up to move them.
• Do not use the hob as a worktop.

When you first connect the appliance to the mains it will test itself automatically and the displays will light briefly.

If you do not select a setting within 5 seconds the zone will switch itself off automatically.

Cords to electrical appliances – e.g. a mixer – may accidentally touch the cooking zones.
