Before Using Your Hob Thank you for purchasing a new Belling Induction Hob. Its stylish and practical design will enhance your kitchen and make cooking a pleasure. Even if you have used an induction hob before, it is important that you read these instructions thoroughly before starting to cook, paying particular attention to the installation and safety instructions.
Safety Keep children away from the vicinity of the hob when you are cooking. • Use pans with a flat base which are stable in use, and avoid using any old misshapen pans or any pan which is unstable when placed on a flat surface. • Never leave fat or oil unattended on an active cook zone.
Safety Advice Smoke alarm - buy a smoke alarm fitted with a ‘hush button’ which can silence the alarm instantly should it activate accidentally & does not necessitate the removal of the battery (except to change for a new one). Fire Blanket - consider having a fire blanket in your kitchen, mounted on the wall where you can get to it easily & quickly. Deep-fat Frying - never fill a chip pan (or other deepfat fryer) more than one-third full of oil.
Safety & Induction Detection of an object or a pan on the heating zone A small object - such as a fork, a spoon or even a ring - placed on a hob cooking zone on its own is not detected as a pan. The security system acts in the same way when it detects a pan which is not suitable for use on an induction hob.
USING THE INDUCTION HOB About the induction hob The induction hob provides the most energy efficeint hob technology available. The induction system provides superior heat up and cool down times for pans - you get fast, precise, repeatable power control. As induction only heats up the pan, there is no lost heat from the cooking process, which in turn, limits the heat generated in the kitchen.
Cookware for induction hobs Cookware for induction cooking zones must be made of metal and have magnetic properties, and the base must have the correct diameter Suitable Cookware for Induction Hobs Enameled Steel pots with a thick base Cast Iron pots with an enameled base Pots made of multilayer stainless steel, rustproof ferrite steel or aluminum with a special base Unsuitable Cookware Pots made of copper, stainless steel, aluminium, oven proof glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta Pans marked for use

Touch Controls The touch controls for your induction have been designed to provide you with finger tip control of your hob, providing accurate and repeatable power settings for cooking and an easy clean surface that can be easily wiped over.
Special Hob Functions Central On/Off switch. The central on/off switch enables all of the cooking zones to be switched off simultaneously at a touch of a button, so when you have finished cooking or are called away from the kitchen for any reason you can rest assured that everything is under control and safe. To Operate 1) Select the on/off key. The key needs to be pressed for at least 1 second to activate, this is to ensure that the hob cannot be activated unintentionally.
Recall oops! Have you switched off your hob accidentally. Easily recall you hob settings with this function To operate: If the pause Led is active when you switch back on, select the pause button and touch anywhere along the slider control.
Auto Heat Up Helps to take the worry out of pans boiling over and burning food! No need to stand over the pan, allows you to do other tasks whilst maintaining control over the pan. The Auto Heat Up delivers power full power (9) to the zone for a fixed period of time before automatically turning back down to the desired setting. The Auto Heat Up has been tuned to provide the best heat up period for each setting.
End of Auto Heat Period Initially, while the cook zone is at the highest setting, “A” will flash alternately with your selected lower setting. Then, when the period of highest setting is over, “A” will stop flashing and the cook zone will automatically reduce the heat to your preset lower setting.
Minute Minder CL The minute minder buzzes when the time set has expired. Does not switch off any zone. To operate 1) Turn on the hob, using the on/off switch. 2) Select the timer CL (do not activate any cook zone). 3) Set the right hand digit up to 9 minutes (Single Minutes Units) and wait a couple of seconds. 4) The display will now indicate for you to set the left hand digit, up to 90 minutes (10 Minute Units). 5) The timer is now set and begins counting down.
Timer auto switch off The timer can be set to automatically turn off a cooking zone. All four cook zones can be simultaneously timed to turn off automatically. Cook zones can be set for a maximum time of 99 minutes. Warning! Never leave the hob unattended when in use, even when you have set the timer to turn off the cook zone To Operate. 1) Select the cook zone to be timed, ensure power level is already set before selecting timer.
USING THE INDUCTION HOB Griddle Zone with Bridge Pan detection Function When a zone has been activated but no pan has been placed on the cook zone, this means the hob only uses power when a suitable pan is placed on the zone, this reduces the energy used during the cooking process, i.e. when you take your pan off the zone the hob automatically reduces the power, and only switches back on when you replace the pan. Flexibility is what counts.
Overheat pan protection The hob is equipped with additional safety systems that help to prevent cookware from overheating, providing an additional level of safety not available on conventional hobs such as gas and ceramic hobs.
Child Lock L This feature is to help prevent accidental switching on of the hob, especially by young children. To Activate: 1) Select the On/Off Key. 2) Simultaneously touch the RHF cook zone and the Power Boost keys, the hob should beep. 3) Remove fingers and touch the RHF cook zone again. (L should appear in all the cook zone displays). 4) Switch off the hob. When you now switch on the hob “L” will appear in all the cook zone displays.
Care Of Pans Looking after your pans Stainless steel pans Stainless steel pans should be cleaned with a soft cloth and soapy water. Appearance of white marks: Cause: salt added to cold water. Solution: add salt when the water boils. Appearance of specks: Cause: hard water. Solution: boil diluted vinegar in the pan, then rinse and dry. Burned food stuck to the bottom of the pan: Cause: temperature too high.
Cooking On Induction Hobs • • • • • • • • • • • Do not leave an empty pan on a heating zone. Pans should be placed in the centre of the heating zone. Never heat up a sealed tin of food, as it may explode. When you use a pan with a non-stick coating (eg; Teflon) with little or no fat, heat the pan first for a moment on setting 6 or 7.
Cooking Tips • • • • • • Green vegetables (spinach, broccoli, sorrel, etc) or vegetables rich in sulphur compounds (cabbage, onions, etc) should be cooked without a lid in plenty of boiling water; they will cook more quickly, and will keep their green colour (some vegetables only), vitamin and minerals content. Pasta, rice, cereals, etc absorb water during cooking and increase in volume; cook them in plenty of boiling salted water in order to dilute the starch they contain.
Care & Cleaning Some cooking operations generate a considerable amount of grease. This, combined with spillage, can become a hazard if allowed to accumulate on the hob through lack of cleaning. In extreme cases this may amount to misuse of the appliance and could invalidate your guarantee. Do not use caustic pastes, abrasive cleaning powders, coarse wire wool or any hard implements, as they will damage the surfaces.
Care & Cleaning Care and maintenance Before using the hob for the first time, apply a thin coating of cleaner conditioner to the ceramic glass, and polish the surface with a clean cloth. The conditioner gives a protective covering to the ceramic glass which not only makes the hob easier to clean, but also ensures that you will gain maximum life out of this product. Occasional use will help prevent the build up of mineral deposits which can cause discolouration of the hob surface.
Troubleshooting The hob produces a smell the first few times it is used • Heat a pan full of water on each zone for half an hour. Pans make a noise during cooking!! • This is caused by vibration due to the passage of energy from the hob to the pan. On a high setting this is quite normal for certain types of saucepan. It will not damage the hob. The hob makes a slight clicking sound • This is caused by the distribution of power between two heating zones on the same side of the hob.
Installation Instructions General information Installation should only be carried out by a qualified installer or engineer. Please keep to the following points most carefully; • The hob should not be fitted above a washing machine, a fridge or a freezer. • Wall surfaces above the work surface and in the immediate vicinity of the cooking hob must be heat resistant. • Laminated surfaces and the adhesive used for fixing them must be heat resistant in order to avoid any damage.
Installation Instructions Installation advice - cabinetry Dealing with sides, cross-rails and back-panels in cabinetry Depending on the cabinets, the worktop thickness and the hob positioning, it is possible for the hob base and/or the clamp brackets to interfere with parts of the cabinet. These can be dealt with as follows: Cabinet sides If the hob is to be installed across the top of two cabinet housing units, then the base of the hob may interfere with the sides of these units.
Installation Instructions Installation above an oven Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for clearances above the oven. We recommend a 9mm gap between the bottom of the hob and appliance, should the work surface be less than 38mm deep. 50mm 5mm min air gap min 9mm In the case of a pyrolytic oven If installing the hob above a pyrolytic oven, additional provision for air circulation / ventilation may be required.
Installation Instructions Fitting into worktop • Cut a hole in the work surface to the required size. See table for relevant dimensions. A clearance of at least 50mm should be maintained between the cutout and any rear or side wall. • The worktop must be of heat-resistant material or covered with heat-resistant material. • Protecting the cut-out; The types of chipboard used for work surfaces swell relatively quickly in contact with humidity.
Installation Instructions Recessed Method (selected models) Recess the work top to the appropriate depth and shape to fit the hob. Apply the self adhesive seal to the underside of the hob glass. For best results, the seal should be adhered along each joint in turn, as close to the edge as possible, and trimmed at each corner, taking care to ensure a neat join. Insert the hob into the recess, ensuring that the foam seal is sitting correctly.
Installation Instructions Connect to the electricity supply Warning: This appliance must be earthed. The hob must be installed by a competent electrician, using a suitable double pole control unit, with 3mm minimum contact separation at all poles. We recommend that the appliance is connected by a qualified electrician who will comply with the I.E.E. and local regulations. G Connection should be made with a suitable cable.
