Technical data

Warning: Do not use the ceramic hob
if the glass surface is cracked, as elec-
trical parts are immediately beneath.
Switch off the appliance at the supply
to prevent electric shock and contact
your supplier.
Before using the hob for the
first time
Before using the hob for the first time,
apply a thin coating of cleaner
conditioner and polish the surface with
a clean dry cloth.
The conditioner gives a protective
covering to the ceramic glass which
not only makes the hob easier to
clean, but also ensures you will gain
maximum life out of this product.
Using the hotplate elements
To switch on, turn the control knob for
the selected hob element to the desired
setting.
Note: The marked settings on the hob
controls do not indicate any set
temperature and cannot be used to
compare the performance of one ring
with another.
The hob rings will cycle on and off
automatically during use as a means
of regulating heat output.
To switch off, return the control knob to
the “off” position.
The hot hob light
The hob light comes on when one of
the rings is switched on, and will stay
on for a while after the last ring is
switched off, to indicate that the hob
glass may still be warm.
Care and cleaning
See ‘Cleaning the Hob’ section.
Dual Zone Hotplate (if fitted)
Some models have a dual zone hot-
plate fitted (left hand rear plate). Turn
the control clockwise to the required
setting to use the whole hotplate if
using a larger pan. Turn the control
anti-clockwise to the required setting to
use the inner hotplate if using a small-
er pan. This is an energy saving fea-
ture and is useful for cooking with
smaller pans or for simmering.
