Frequently Asked Questions - MEH60WH MATSUI

How should I clean the hob?

Use a damp cloth with washing-up liquid to remove burnt-on food. Avoid abrasive pads, corrosive cleaners, aerosol cleaners, or sharp objects. Do not use a steam cleaner.

What type of cookware is recommended?

Use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottom pans that match the diameter of the hotplate. This ensures good contact and reduces cooking times. Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the hotplates.

Why does the hob produce smoke when first used?

When operating for the first time or after prolonged inactivity, some smoke may appear due to burning off built-up residue on the hotplates. This is normal and will stop after a short period.

What do the dial numbers (1-6) mean?

The numbers correspond to temperature settings: 1-2 for gentle simmering and slow warming, 3-5 for reheating and rapid simmering, and 6 for boiling, sautéing, and searing at maximum heat.

Can I install the hob myself?

No, installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician according to the instructions and current regulations. Improper connection or installation voids the warranty.

What are the electrical requirements for this hob?

The hob requires a 230 V, 50 Hz supply, connected via a dedicated 30 A fuse or MCB. A double-pole switch must be installed to disconnect both live and neutral conductors. Use cable type H05V V-F 3 x 2.5 mm².

Is it safe to leave the hob unattended while cooking?

No, never leave the hob unattended when cooking. Always turn off the controls when not in use and keep flammable items away.

Can I use aluminum foil on the hotplates?

No, never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the hotplates. They can melt or cause fire hazards.

How can I save energy while using the hob?

Use lids to reduce cooking times, reduce heat once boiling begins, match pan size to hotplate, and use residual heat to finish cooking or keep food warm.

What should I do if a hotplate is not heating?

First check that the control dial is turned to a setting (1-6) and that the signal light is on. If still not heating, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt repairs yourself.

In the event of any damage that occurs as a result of improper connection or installation, the warranty will not be valid. This appliance must be gathered.

Installation Safety

Any adjacent units or furniture, which are higher than the hobs, must be at least 15cm from the hobs. This includes objects such as spice racks.
Any overhanging surface should be at least 65cm above the hobs.
A board must be installed to the underside of the hob to prevent access.
The minimum spacing required between the bottom of the hob and the installed board is 100mm.
n Extractor fans must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturers instructions.
n Wall cabinets may be fitted at least 42cm above the work surface. The minimum height for kitchen units that are not heat proofed is 70cm above the work surface.
The wall in contact with the rear of the hobs must be made of flameproof material.

installation guide

Fitting the hob into a work surface

1 The hob can be fitted into any work surface provided it is heat resistant up to at least 90°C.
2 Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the picture below. The distance between the rear edge of the hob and any adjacent wall depends on wall surface. Please don't use easily combustible metarial like curtain, paper at nearby the hob.

3 Apply the self-adhesive seal to each edge of the opening and carefully fit the hob into the opening.
4 Secure the hob in place by tightening the clamps around its perimeter edge, as the picture below shows. The clamps can be fitted in one of two ways, to accommodate the thickness of the worktop. If the worktop is too thick to accommodate the clamps, cut slots within the thickness of the worktop to reduce its thickness.

installation guide

5 If there is any self-adhesive seal protruding from the edge of the hob, trim it off, being careful not to scratch the worktop.

6 If the hob is being fitted over a cupboard or drawer unit which has no top panel, a top panel must be fitted. This panel will form a separation between the contents of the cupboard or drawer and the underside of the hob. The panel should be removable, to allow for access to the underside of the hob, and can be fitted at least 10cm from the underside of the hob.

Making an electrical connection
