EU Declarations of Conformity

This appliance has been manufactured to the strictest standards and

complies with all applicable legislation, including Electrical safety

(LVD) 2014/35/EU and Electromagnetic interference compatibility

(EMC) 2014/30/EU. Parts intended to come into contact with food

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE

PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EU DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU.

At the end of its working life, the product must be taken to a special

local authority waste collection centre or to a dealer providing

appliance recycling services.

Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible

negative consequences for the environment and health. It also

enables the constituent materials to be recovered, saving both energy

and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household

appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out

wheeled dustbin.

Please note:

•Ceramic hobs become hot and remain hot during and immediately

after use. Do not touch the hob until it has been allowed to cool.

•Keep children away from the appliance when in use.

•Never use the hob top for storage.

•Pan handles should never stand out beyond the edge of the

worktop. This will help to avoid children reaching them.

•Do not lean over the hob when it is in use.

•Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.

•Ensure the base of the saucepan is clean and dry before placing it

on the hob.

•Avoid hard shocks from cookware – the vitroceramic glass surface

is highly resistant but not unbreakable.

•Do not place hot lids ﬂat on the hob top. A “suction” eect could

cause damage to the hob.

•Do not drag cookware across the hob top: in the long term, this

could cause damage to the hob.

•Do not store cleaning or ﬂammable products in the unit below the

hob.

•Always use appropriate cookware.

•Do not cook unopened tins of food directly on the hob.

•Never put cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface

when the hob is hot. These materials could melt and cause

damage to the hob.

•This hob (Class 3) has been designed for use only as a cooking

appliance. Any other use should be considered incorrect and

therefore dangerous.

Important

•Do not use the hob if the glass surface is cracked or damaged to

prevent the risk of electric shock. Disconnect it from the power

supply.

•Ensure that the power cable of a connected electrical appliance

near the hob is not in contact with the cooking zones.

Please note: When connecting the hob to the power and switching

it on for the ﬁrst time the cooking zone displays may show the

letter " ". This is not a fault and the letter " " should disappear after

approximately one hour. Please see page 10 for more information.

Using Your Hob

To switch the hob on

•To switch the power on, touch and hold the "On/o sensor" (1) for

approximately one second. The hob will beep and all displays will

show “0”.

Please note: When switching the hob on after the appliance has been

switched o at the mains, both cooking zone displays may show an

“ ”. This is normal and they should disappear after approximately

one hour. If the hob is used during this time however, then an “ ” will

appear to indicate that the relevant zone is still hot to the touch and

will subsequently disappear after a certain amount of time.

To activate a zone and set a power level

•Simply switch the hob on, select the desired zone using the relevant

cooking zone selector and use the plus or minus setting selectors

to set the required power level. The power levels range from 1

(minimum) to 9 (maximum). The hob will then begin heating.

Please note: If a power level is not set within ten seconds of switching

the hob on, the hob will switch o automatically.

To deactivate a zone

•Simply activate zone control by touching the relevant zone's

selector and then touch the plus and minus setting selectors

simultaneously. Alternatively, you can use the minus setting selector

(2) to return the power level to 0. The cooking zone indicator will

display a "0" to conﬁrm that the zone is now inactive.

• If switching o both zones, the above step needs to be taken

for each zone. When both the zones are at "0", the hob will switch

o automatically after approximately ten seconds.

•To switch o the hob immediately, touch and hold the "On/o

sensor" (1) for approximately one second.

Please note: Any zones that are still hot to the touch will display an

" " provided the mains power supply is not interrupted.

Operating time limiter

Each zone has an operating time limiter to prevent the hob from

being left on indeﬁnitely. After a zone is activated a 15 minute timer

commences. Once 15 minutes have passed the associated zone

is automatically switched o and residual heat indicator activated.

Zones can still be used as normal in accordance with the operating

instructions after this time and the operating time limiter will simply

reset and start again. The limiter cannot be adjusted.

Keep warm function

Each zone also has a keep warm function which allows you to keep

food at a low but warm temperature after cooking (food should only

be kept warm for a short time to minimise the spread of bacteria) or

for the gentle melting of butter or chocolate. To activate the function,

simply activate zone control for the desired zone, press the zone's

plus setting selector (6) to power level 1 and then press the zone's

minus setting selector (2). A " " will appear on the zone's display to

conﬁrm that the function has been activated.

To deactivate the function simply adjust the zone's temperature, if

required, or switch the zone o.

Auto-heat Function

Both zones are equipped with an auto-heat function, which reduces

the warming up time for the zone.

To activate the auto-heat function on a zone

•Switch the hob on, if not already so, activate zone control by

touching the relevant zone's selector and then touch the minus

setting selector. The zone display will show power level 9 along

with a ﬂashing decimal point. Then, and within 10 seconds, touch

the minus setting selector and set the desired power level. The

zone's display will alternate between the power level and the letter

'A' to conﬁrm that the auto-heat function is active.

To deactivate the auto-heat function

• Simply touch the desired zone's selector, if zone adjustment is not

already active, and then adjust the zone power level to '0'.

Each power level has a limited time for which the auto-heat function

can be used. A table showing these times is shown below.

Please note: The auto-heat function is not compatible with power

level 9.

Safety Key Lock

To prevent accidental use, the hob has a safety key lock which

switches controls o temporarily or completely. The safety key lock

can be activated when the hob is turned on but not when power has

been switched o or the appliance disconnected from the mains.

To activate the safety key lock

If the hob is on, then simply touch the safety key lock sensor (8) for

approximately 2 seconds. The hob will beep and the safety key lock

LED should illuminate. If either one or both zones are actively heating,

press and hold the safety key lock sensor (8) for approximately 2

seconds. The hob will beep and the safety key lock LED should

illuminate.

To deactivate the safety key lock

Simply touch and hold the safety key lock sensor (8) for approximately

2 seconds. The hob will beep and the safety key lock LED should

extinguish.

Residual Heat Indicators

The hob is equipped with residual heat indicators to warn when any of

the zones are still hot to the touch after use. An “ ” will show on the

relevant zone’s indicator for some time after cooking.

The duration for which the residual heat indicators are displayed

for is determined by the power level last used and the subsequent

estimated cooling time. As a result of this, the residual heat indicator

may sometimes be shown even when the zone is no longer hot to the

touch.

Please note: In the event of a power cut or failure, the residual heat

indicators will illuminate after the power supply is restored. In the

event of the restoration of the power supply, or when the hob is ﬁrst

installed and switched on, the residual heat indicators can show

for up to one hour. This does not aect the hob’s operation and is

not indicative of a fault. When there is no power supply to the hob

however the residual heat indicators will not work, yet the hob zone(s)

may still be hot, so extra care must be taken.

Please remember: You should avoid touching any zone whilst the

hob is in use or whilst either residual heat indicator is displayed.

Only pans with contents should be on the zones during use and

you should not leave any objects on the zones after use.
