Fire Safety Advice
Most kitchen fires occur when people are distracted or leave things unattended, so remember:
If you’re called away from the hobby of the phone or someone at the door, either take pans off the heat or switch off your hob.
Don’t let yourself be distracted while cooking. If you do have a fire in the kitchen, don’t take any risks – get everyone out of your home and call the Fire Service.
If a pan catches fire:
- Do not move it – it is likely to be extremely hot.
- Turn off the heat if it’s safe to do so – but never lean over a pan to reach the controls.
- If you have a fire blanket or a lid, put it over the pan.
- If you have put the fire out, leave the pan to cool completely.
Deep-fat frying presents more dangers in your kitchen.
- Never fill a pan (or another deep-fat fryer) more than one-third full of oil.
- Do not use a fire extinguisher on a pan of oil – the force of the extinguisher can spread the fire and create a fireball.
If you have an electrical fire in the kit Chen:
- Pull the plug out, or switch off the power at the fuse box – this may be enough to stop the fire immediately
- Smother the fire with a fire blanket.
- Remember: never use water on an electrical or cooking oil fire.
Avoiding damage to the appliance.
The ceramic glass of the hob can be damaged by objects falling onto it. Be especially careful with heavy jars of food being stored in cupboards above the hob, we recommend storing them away from the hob area.
The edge of the glass can be damaged by being knocked by cookware.
Cookware made of cast iron, cast aluminum, or damaged bottoms can scratch the ceramic glass if pushed across the surface.
Objects that melt and things that boil over can burn onto the ceramic glass and should be removed as soon as possible.
To avoid damage to cookware and the ceramic glass, do not allow saucepans or frying pans to boil dry.
Do not use the cooking zones with empty cookware or without cookware in place.

USING THE HOB – ELECTRIC (CERAMIC)
Cooking Surface layout
Touch Controls
The touch controls of your hob have been designed to provide you with fingertip control of your hob, providing accurate and repeatable power settings for cooking and an easy clean surface that can be easily wiped over, When a cooking zone is activated the power setting is displayed for each zone individually.
Using The Touch Controls
Use the flat of your finger, not the tip, the controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure. The touch control keys take approximately 1 second to respond to your touch.
Always ensure the touch control area is clean, dry, and free from any objects (e.g. utensils, tea towels, and cloths), spillages, and water may make the controls difficult to operate.
A beeping sound will be activated and will keep on beeping every 10 seconds, to attract your attention, please remove any objects and clean the area as appropriate.
Applying Power To The Hob
Before switching on the power supply to the appliance, switch off any bright lights (Such as a cooker hood) and ensure the appliance is not in direct sunlight.
This is to enable the electronic controls to calibrate its sensitivity against the natural ambient lighting (Approx 30 seconds).
Failure to observe the above will result in the hob not functioning correctly, (Display showing “FL”). To rectify remove all strong lighting sources and re-apply power.
The hob should complete the calibration procedure satisfactorily and light such as cooker hoods can be used normally.
When power is first switched on the hob will always start up with the Key Lock activated.
Key Lock
A Red Led indicates when the key lock is active, to deactivate/ activate, touch the Key Lock key for 1 second.
The key lock is deactivated when the Red LED switches off.

- Whenever possible place lids on pans. · Switch off the cook zones before the end of the cooking time, taking advantage
of residual heat. · The bottom of the cookware and the cooking zones should be the same size.
CLEANING
ELECTRIC HOB
Ceramic glass hobs
- It is recommended that you clean and washes the hob surface before using it for the first time. Apply a thin coat of ceramic hob cleaner to the hob to help maintain and protect it.
- The ceramic hob top can be cleaned using a clean, damp cloth or kitchen paper. Do not use a used dishcloth or sponge as they can leave a film of detergent on the surface which can lead to discoloration. Please ensure that the elements are cooled fully to avoid steam burns.
- You can use a specialist ceramic cleaner to restore the surface but use it sparingly to avoid coating the hob top too thickly. Too much cream cleaner will lead to discoloration. Use a dry, clean cloth to polish the surface.
- For stubborn marks, a specialist hob scraper or cleaner can be used.
- Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaning equipment.
- Regular cleaning will prevent any salts or minerals from accumulating on your hob and discoloring the glass.
- Wipe any spillage as soon as possible.
- Clean the hob top as regularly as possible, this will prevent any build-up of grease which may be a fire hazard.
Notes:
- The edge of the ceramic glass will always appear to be a different color than the top surface due to the ground safety edge.
- Scratches or dark stains on the ceramic glass that cannot be removed do not affect the function of the appliance.
Safety when Cleaning
- For cleaning, the appliance must be switched off and cooled down.
WARNING! Risk of burns from residual heat.
