• All accessible parts of the hob become hot while it is in operation. Always keep children away from it.
• The hob should be given a quick clean after each use, to avoid the accumulation of spillages and grease, which if not removed, will harden, and could cause the production of smoke and unpleasant smells.
• When cooking with fats or oils, never leave gas burner unattented. Overheated fats or oils can quickly catch fire.

INSTALLATION Installing a domestic appliance can be a complicated operation which, if not carried out correctly, can seriously affect consumer safety. It is for this reason that the task should be undertaken by a professionally qualified person who will carry it out in accordance with the technical regulations in force. In the event that this advice is ignored and the installation is carried out by an unqualified person, ROSIERES declines all responsibility for any technical failure of the product whether or not it results in damage to goods or injury to individuals.

INSTALLATION: "ELECTRICAL CONNECTION"

The mains electricity supply connected to the appliance should comply with the norms in force in the country of installation. Rosières declines all responsibility for any damage that may be caused by unsuitable or unreasonable use.

• Always check before any electrical operation, the supply voltage shown on the electricity meter, the adjustment of the circuit-breaker, the continuity of the connection to earth of the installation and that the fuse is suitable.
• The electrical connection to the installation should be made via a socket with a plug with earth, or via an omnipole cut-out switch with an opening gap of at least 3 mm.
• The yellow/green wire of the power supply cable must be connected to the earth of both power supply and appliance terminals.
• Rosières cannot be held responsible for any accidents resulting from the use of an appliance which is not connected to earth, or with a faulty earth connection continuity.
• Any queries regarding the power supply cord should be referred to After Sales Service or a qualified technician. The hob "TC 04" is equipped with a supply cord type H05RR-F - area 3G2,5 mm² This power cord enables you to connect to exclusively single phase 220-240 V~ or two phase 220-240 V2~. However it can be modified for connection to :
• Three phase 220-240 V3~
• Three phase 380-415 V3N~

To proceed to the new connection, you mus adhere the following instructions

• Before making the connection, make sure that the installation is protected by a suitable fuse, see table on next page, and that it is fitted with wires of a large enough section to supply the appliance normally.

1 - Operations to be carried out on the existing connection (if necessary) :

. Turn the hob against the worktop. Terminal block Cable clamp Shunts bars Earth green/ yellow wire 1 . Unscrew the cover 2 . The hob is supplied for a single phase connection : 220-240 V~ or two phase : 220-240 V2~. . Remove the screws retaining the terminal block which contains the shunt bars and the conductors of the supply cord. . Unscrew the cable clamp to release the power supplying cord. . Pull out the supply cord.

2 - Operations to be carried out to make a new connection :

. Choose the supply cord in accordance with the recommendations in the table on the next page. . The hob must be in situation as shown :

. Pass the supply cord into the clamp. . Strip the end of each conductor of the supply cord to a 10 mm length, by taking in account the requested length of the cord for the connection on the terminal block. . According to the installation and with the help of shunt bars which you should have recovered in the first operation, fix the conductor as shown on the chart. . Engage the earth wire yellow/green on the earth terminal, tighten the nut and verify the continuity of the earth. . Secure the cable clamp. . Fix the cover.

INSTALLATION: "BUILDING-IN" Both the unit into which the hob will be fitted and any adjacent kitchen furniture must be made from heat resistant material and fixed with heat resistant adhesive. If, when installing the hob, the lower part of the casing is adjacent to an area normally accessible when handling or cleaning, fit a heatproof partition 1 cm below the base of the casing, with a 10 x 10 cm opening in the rear right-hand corner, to avoid any risk of burning or damage. There should also be a 5 cm gap between the appliance and all adjacent vertical surfaces. A foam adhesive seal is supplied with the hob. Stick this seal under the edge of the body as near as possible to the outer edge of the hob. Press round the edges of the hob, so that the seal flattens out and ensures an air tight seal.

THE STANDARD ELECTRICAL HOT PLATE

This is a cast-iron hot plate, controlled by a 7 position switch. Each position corresponds to a permanent and progressive temperature according to the marks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. RAPID SELF-PROTECTING ELECTRIC HOT PLATE (with a red dot in the centre) This is a cast-iron hot plate, controlled by a 7 position switch. As with the previous hot plate, each position corresponds to a permanent and progressive temperature according to the marks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. An internal thermostat cuts off of the power supply if there is any overheating. (If, for example, a hot plate is working without a pan on it). BEFORE USING THE ELECTRIC HOT PLATE :

• Before using the electric hot plate for the first time, let it heat up for a few minutes, without a pan, at maximum temperature to let the protective coating harden. HOW TO USE :
• For best results, it is advisable to start on the maximum heat and then turn back to an intermediate temperature taking into account the type and volume of the food.
• The power-on indicator light comes on to show that the hot plate is working.
• To stop it, turn back the knob until position " ". THE DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS : below are a few examples which are given as guidelines. When you become more familiar with the appliance, you will be able to choose settings to suit your own personal tastes and requirements. Some tips ..... Positions

Very high To keep a dish hot, melt butter and chocolate .... Slow cooking, sauces, stews, rice pudding, poached eggs ... Beans, frozen foods, fruit, boiling water .... Steamed apples, fresh vegetables, pasta, crepes, fish .... More intense cooking, omelettes, steaks .... Steaks, chops, frying...

For information, we note below the different powers reached according to the type of the plate and the control knob setting.

Cooking with the electric hot plate To gest the best results from your appliance it is important to observe the following :

• Use thick, flat-bottomed cooking vessels, a completely flat bottom prevents the overheating of some points which cause food to stick. Thick metal allows for good heat distribution.
• Make sure that the bottoms of pans are dry : this will prevent things from sticking to the hot plate because of moisture.
• Use pans with a diameter large enough to completely cover the hot plate, otherwise some of the energy will be wasted and if there are any spillages the hot plate will quickly become stained and difficult to maintain (rust, etc).
• Never leave a hot plate switched on without a pan on it : it could become deformed, which would reduce its efficiency.
• When cooking with fat or oil, do not remove the pan from the hob. Very hot fats and oils can quickly catch fire.
• When the hot plate is hot, avoid any contact with materials made of plastic or aluminium foil.

Warning : during the hot plate is operating, it becomes hot, keep children away

MAINTENANCE Before all cleaning or dismantling operation, it is imperative to : . disconnect the hob to the mains supply. . let all parts of the hob cool down. Never use : . harsh abrasives, scouring pads or sharp object to clean the hob.

. Enamelled steel hob : simply clean the enamelled hob with soapy water when the hob is cold, rinse and wipe with a clean dry cloth. If you clean the enamelled hob when it is hot, you may tarnish it. . Stainless steel : clean with soapy water, rinse and dry. You can use a special product to clean stainless steel which is available in stores. THE KNOBS For thorough cleaning, the control knobs can be removed by pulling them upwards. Clean exclusively with soapy water and dry well before replacing them.

Heat it for a while if necessary, to burn the deposits. After switching off and cooling down of the plate, wipe it with an absorbing paper. In any cases, it is important to protect the hot plate from humidity. Do not use abrasive products. To maintain and preserve the appearance, rub a drop of neutral oil, such as sewing machine oil into the surface of the hot plate. The hot plate should always be dry, or slightly greasy, if it is not to be used for some time. Remove any rust using emery paper followed by a suitable commercially available product.
