Timer
Your hob has a timer which you can set (from 1 to 99 minutes) for each cooking zone. At
the end of the countdown period, a buzzer will sound and the relevant cooking zone will
be switched off.
•
Select the cooking zone (fig. 2) and heat level (fig. 3).
•
Press the timer button (fig. 5), and then use the up and down buttons to set the countdown time.
•
Each time the timer up or down button is pressed, the timer display will increase or
decrease in 1 minute increments.
Safety cut-off
•
If one or more of the cooking zones are accidentally left on, a safety cut-off will activate
after a certain period of time. The length of time depends on the set power level for that
zone. The table on the right gives the time limits for each power level.
•
If more than one zone is operating when one of the zones reaches its safety cut-off
point, only the zone that has reached its safety cut-off point will switch off.

Switching off the ceramic hob
1. Press the ON/OFF button, the hob will switch off. It is possible to turn the hob off at any
time by pressing the ON/OFF button.
2. Press the up or down buttons to 0, then hob will switch off.
After a zone is switched off, the corresponding heat level display will show a flashing letter “H” .
This means that the temperature of the zone is above 60°C and is therefore still high enough
to cause injury.
•
When the temperature of the zone falls below 60°C the letter “H” will go out. It is still
possible to burn yourself on a hob zone, even when its temperature has dropped below 60°C.
IMPORTANT:
The residual heat indicator will disappear if the mains supply to the product is cut.
Locking the ceramic hob
To lock the ceramic hob, press the safety lock button (fig. 4) while the appliance is switched
on. With the safety lock activated, all buttons on the control panel will be disabled, except
the ON/OFF button. To disable the safety lock feature, press the safety lock button again.
And you are then able to adjust the heat level of any zone on the hob.

Utensils
Use pans with flat bottoms. Uneven or thin bottoms will waste energy and are slow to cook.
Use pans slightly larger than the hotplates. Smaller pans will waste energy.
Do not use oversized pans. More than 50mm overhang can overheat cooktop components and can
cause fine cracks in the enamel hob which will trap dirt.
Use only dry utensils. Do not place wet or steamy parts (eg.lids) on the hotplates.
Use
Do not use pots and pans that are unsteady and likely to rock or overbalance.
Do not operate the cooktop for an extended time without utensil on the hotplate.
