6.

A steam cleaner must not be used for cleaning the appliance.

7.

The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate

remote-control system.

8.

The built-in ceramic hob must be built into a heat resistant cabinet. Some smoking may occur when

first used. Leave on for a short period to burn off excess sealant.

Operation of the top with the heating area

An appropriately selected pan saves energy. A pan should have a thick, flat base with a diameter equal 

to the plate diameter as in that case heat is transferred most efficiently.

Advice on the use of cooking tops. To save energy and to 

prolong the

 life of the ceramic tops, we 

advise using pans with flat bottom and with a diameter no less than the diameter of the tops. Care must 

be taken that fluids do not spill on the ceramic plates. Never leave the tops on without pans on them or 

with empty pans and never use the tops to heat plates. Switch on the 

elements

 after having set the 

pans on them. Once switched off, the 

elements 

remain warm for a while, do not touch. Switch off the 

heating element before removing the pans.

• 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

/

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.

Touch control For PRCEH106

• All operations are performed by means of the touch controls on the control panel.

• Each touch control has a corresponding visual display (indicator light).

• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.

Switching on the ceramic hob

• Press the ON/OFF button (fig. 1) to switch on the appliance.

• The hob will beep once and all cooking zone indicators will light up briefly

, i

ndicating

 

that

the hob has entered stand-by mode .

Notice: 

Take the next step within one minute, otherwise the controller will automatically

shut down.

Switching on a cooking zone and setting a power leve

l

• Press the cooking zone select button (fig. 2) for the zone you want to use.

• Select the heat level required (1-9) by using the up and down buttons (fig. 3). By holding

down either of these buttons, the value on the heat level display will adjust up or down.

Note: 

when the power displayed 0, press the down button, the power will set to 9.

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.

For PRCEH104

, according to your needs, the tops can be adjusted by turning the knobs either 

clockwise or anti-clockwise 

to

 9 position

besides the 0 position (off). The positions marked by the 

higher numerical index match the maximum output of heat (see table). 

When using rapid tops, a thermostat automatically reduces the power when the selected temperature 

is reached and the top operates intermittently to reach a constant cooking temperature. The pilot light 

set in the control is a signal that the electric 

elements

 are switched on. The level of heat can be 

adjusted gradually by turning the appropriate knob to the right or left. Switching on the 

element

 

results in an orange signal light 

illuminating 

on the control panel.
