Introduction This quality appliance has been designed to provide trouble-free service provided it is installed and maintained correctly. This hob is for domestic use only. Please read these instructions carefully before installing or using your appliance. It is advisable to keep your purchase and installation receipts with these instructions in a safe place for future reference. Included is some important safety information in addition to guidelines and recommendations to enable you to safely use your hob.
Location Position of the hob The hob must be installed into a work surface, fitted with an opening cut into the surface so that the top plate sits flush with the surface. It is best positioned directly above a 600mm wide fitted kitchen cabinet. Avoid installing the appliance next to a fridge, freezer or boiler. Gently rest the unit on a surface and determine the exact position of your appliance as follows: Safety Requirements Ensure that the surrounding material is heat resistant and non-combustible.
Electricity supply Once a satisfactory location has been established, the electrical supply to the appliance must be arranged beneath the work surface. The mains voltage must correspond to that which is specified on the data plate. The supply should be from a 45 amp fused spur, with an isolator switch installed above the work surface and to one side of the unit in case of an emergency. The isolator switch must have working contacts separated by 3mm.
Electrical Connection The hob must be properly connected to the mains supply by a qualified electrician according to current safety regulations. This appliance must be earthed. 1. Release the cover by removing the cover screws (Figure 4). 2. Loosen the cable clamp (Figure 4). 3.
Fitting the hob Once the hob has been connected to its electricity supply, it can be fitted into position as follows: 1. Place the hob upside down on an adjoining surface. 2. Fit the clips onto the hob by sliding the notched end into the slot and loosely screwing the screw into the screw-hole (Figure 6). Turn the clips round so that they are in line with the hob (Figure 7). 3. Make sure that the underside edge of the hob is clean and dry. 4.
Please read safety notes before using the hob • Never leave children unsupervised where the hob is installed as the appliance will get hot during and after use. • Make sure you understand what the controls do before using the hob. • Always turn off the hotplates when not in use • Never allow anyone to sit or stand on the hob or the surrounding work surface.
Using the hob Before using your hob for the first time: Read the operating and safety instructions thoroughly If you have not already done so, follow the steps in the “Preparation” section on page 7 to burn off the protective film covering the plates. Before switching on a hotplate, make sure that the selector knob you are using corresponds to the hotplate you wish to switch on (Figure 9).
Pan types For best results and good use of energy: • Use good quality cooking pans with thick flat bases. This gives the most efficient energy transfer from the hotplate • Never use recessed or ridged base pans. This wastes energy and gives a longer cooking time • If the pan base is too small for the hotplate, energy is wasted • Use pans of the correct diameter. The base should be about the same size as the hotplate • Do not place lids on the hotplates.

The main hob wall switch is switched to ON. Other appliances are working, to determine if there is general power failure. The circuit breaker in the distribution box has not tripped.
