Frequently Asked Questions - HC604FL NORDMENDE

How do I install the Nordmende HC604FL hob?

Installation must be carried out by an authorized technician. Create a cutout of 560x490 mm in the worktop. Apply the supplied sealing tape around the lower edge of the hob, then fix the mounting brackets. Electrical connection must follow the diagrams in the manual (single-phase 220-240V or three-phase 380-415V). Ensure a circuit breaker of at least 20A is installed.

What are the cooking zone sizes and heat levels?

The hob has 4 radiant zones: two of 14.5 cm and two of 18.0 cm. There are 6 heat levels controlled by knobs: level 1 for keeping warm, levels 2-3 for low heat, and levels 4-6 for cooking, roasting, and boiling. Some zones have dual/oval outer rings activated by turning the knob to a specific position.

How do I use the residual heat indicator?

After cooking, the residual heat indicator lamp lights up if the glass surface temperature exceeds 60°C. It remains on until the hob cools down. Do not touch the cooking zones while the indicator is lit. If the power is interrupted, the indicator flashes upon restoration until the residual heat time expires or the zone is reactivated.

Can children use this hob?

Children aged 8 years and above can use the hob if they are supervised and instructed on safe use. Children under 8 must be kept away unless continuously supervised. Children should not play with the appliance or perform cleaning without supervision.

What should I do if food or plastic melts on the hob?

If aluminium foil or plastic melts on the hot surface, remove it immediately with a scraper to prevent damage. For sugar or sugary spills, clean them while the surface is still hot. For other spills, let the hob cool down, then use a scraper and a cleaner suitable for glass ceramic.

How do I clean the vitroceramic surface?

First, unplug the hob and ensure it has cooled down. Use a scraper to remove burnt-on residues. Then wipe with a damp cloth and mild washing-up liquid. Finally, dry with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, or steam cleaners. For stubborn stains, use a dedicated glass ceramic cleaner.

What type of cookware is recommended?

Use cookware with thick, flat bottoms to ensure good contact and prevent scratches. The pan size should match the cooking zone diameter (not smaller or larger). Always place lids on cookware to save energy. Avoid rough-bottomed pans.

What are the electrical requirements for this hob?

The hob operates on 220-240V single-phase (or 380-415V three-phase). It requires a dedicated circuit with a 20A delayed circuit breaker. The supply cable must be H05VV-F 3x2.5 mm² for single phase or 5x1.5 mm² for three-phase. Connection must be performed by a qualified electrician.

What should I do if the glass surface cracks?

If the surface is cracked, immediately switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power supply to avoid electric shock. Do not use the hob. Contact an authorized service agent for repair or replacement.

How can I save energy while using the hob?

To save energy, use cookware with flat bases and lids. Match pan size to the cooking zone. Minimize the amount of liquid or fat. When liquid starts boiling, reduce the heat setting. These tips help reduce energy consumption and cooking time.

USAGE

The appliance is operated by using knob control and the heat stored is confirmed by residual heat indicator lamp on the vitroceramic surface.

Knob controlled cooker is designed for operating at 6 heat levels:

1 Keeping warm position

2-3 Heating position at low heat

4-5-6 Cooking – roasting and boiling position

Dual and oval heaters have two heating zones. To activate the outer zone of a dual/oval heater, turn the knob to position once. In this way both outer zones switches on.

To deactivate the outer zone of a dual/oval heater, turn the knob to position once. In this way, both outer zones switches off.

Residual Heat Functions

After all cooking processes there is some heat stored in the vitroceramic glass called residual heat. The control can calculate roughly how hot the glass is in the worst case. If the calculated temperature is higher than +60 °C, then this will be indicated in the related residual heat indicator lamp. The residual heat display is shown as long as the calculated heater temperature is >+60 °C.

After reapplying the supply voltage to the hob control after an interruption of the supply voltage occurred, causes that the residual heat display flashes, if the corresponding heater had a residual heat of greater + 60 °C before the power interruption occurred. The display will flash until the max. residual heat time has expired or the heater will be selected and activated.

CLEANING AND CARE

Cookware with rough bottoms should not be used since these can scratch the glass ceramic surface. The bottom of the good cookwares should be as thick and flat as possible. Before use, make sure that cookware bottoms are clean and dry.

Always place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on. If possible, always place the lids on the cookware. Bottom of cookwares must not be smaller or larger than the cooking zones, they should be at the proper size as indicated below, not to waste energy.

Before cleaning the hob, first remove the plug from the electrical supply socket. Then ensure that there is no residual heat stored in the appliance. Vitroceramic glass is very resistant to high temperature and overheating. If there is residual heat stored in the appliance, the related residual heat indicator lamp is on. In order to avoid burns, let the appliance cool down.

Remove all split food and fat with a window scrape. Then wipe the hob with a suitable washing up liquid and a clean damp cloth. Rub the appliance using a clean dry cloth.

If aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally melt on the hob surface, they should be immediately removed from the hot cooking area with a scraper. This will avoid any possible damage to the surface. This also applies to sugar or food containing sugar may be spilled on the hob.

In the event of other food melt on the hob surface, remove the dirt when the appliance has cooled down. Use cleaner for glass ceramic or stainless steel when cleaning the surface.

Do not use dishcloth or abrasive sponge to clean the vitroceramic surface. These materials may damage the surface. Do not use chemical detergents, sprays or spot removers on the vitroceramic surface. These materials may cause fire or vitroceramic color fade. Clean with water and washing up liquid.
