Using the ceramic hob Before first use IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see “Cleaning and maintenance” section). o You should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed on the heating elements during transit. o Do not burn off more than one zone at once. o You should not burn off a zone without there being a saucepan, half filled with cold water on it.

Pans should have the same diametre as the cooking zone that they are being used on. o You should not use saucepans with rough bottoms, as this can scratch the ceramic surface. o Before use, make sure that the bottoms of the saucepans are clean and dry.
Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning operations must only be carried out when the hob is cool. The appliance should be disconnected from your mains supply before commencing any cleaning process. Cleaning the ceramic hob top Any residues that are left on the hob top surface from cleaning agents will damage it. You should remove any residues with warm soapy water. Abrasive cleaners or sharp objects will damage the hob surface; you should clean it using warm water, mixed with a little washing up liquid.
Using a ceramic hob scraper Your appliance will be provided with a hob scraper. The following guidelines should also be followed when using the ceramic hob scraper:- o The scraper should be placed on the ceramic surface at an angle. o Residues should be removed by sliding the blade carefully over the ceramic surface. o The ceramic surface should be wiped over with warm, soapy water. o Dry the appliance by rubbing the surface with a dry, clean cloth.
Positioning The adjacent furniture must be able to withstand a minimum temperature rise of 85°C above the ambient temperature of the room it is located in, during periods of use. This appliance is classified as Class 3 and therefore is to be built into a kitchen unit (depending on size) or 600 mm worktop, providing the following minimum distances are allowed: o 700 mm between the hob surface and the underside of any horizontal surface above it.
Installing the appliance o Cut a hole in the worktop that corresponds with the drawing shown above. o IMPORTANT: A partition made of an insulating material must be inserted between the underneath of the hob and the space below. This partition must be at least 25 mm away from the underside of the hob. o Carefully turn the hob upside down and place it on a cushioned mat. o Apply the sealing strip provided around the edge of the appliance. o The protective covering must be removed from both sides.
o IMPORTANT: Do not use a silicon sealant to seal the appliance against the cut-out. This will make it difficult to remove the hob from the aperture in future, particularly if it needs to be serviced. (B) (C) Fixing bracket Screw o Use the fixing bracket that is appropriate for your thickness of worktop. o Place a fixing bracket (B) over the hole in each corner of the underneath of the hob. Then place a screw (C) through the hole and fixing bracket (B).
Electrical connection This appliance must be installed by a qualified person in accordance with the latest edition of the I.E.E. Regulations and in compliance with Baumatic’s instructions. Before connecting the appliance, make sure that the supply voltage marked on the rating plate corresponds with your mains supply voltage. WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.
o The brass links must be positioned as marked in the appropriate diagram and once established ALL terminal screws must be tightened down firmly. o If when the hob is first switched on, only two of the zones work, you should recheck that the terminal screws are all fully tightened between the links. This should be done before contacting the Baumatic Customer Care Department. o IMPORTANT: The appliance must NOT be connected to the mains supply by means of a 13A plug and socket.
o Unscrew the terminal screws fixing the cable. o Replace the cable with one of the same length and in accordance with the specification given on page 29. o The “green-yellow” earth wire must be connected to the terminal marked . It must be about 10 mm longer than the live and neutral wires. o The “blue” neutral wire must be connected to the terminal marked with letter (N) - the live wire must be connected to the terminal marked with letter (L).
o A humming sound is heard when a cooking zone is selected. * This is normal; the sound will disappear when the zone heats up. o The cooking zones have become discoloured. * This maybe caused by burnt on remnants of food. This will not affect the working of the appliance. However you should make sure that the cleaning instructions are being followed regularly. o Only two of the zones on my hob are working. * You should recheck that the terminal screws are all fully tightened between the links.
