hints and tips
Cookware
.
Use heavy gauge, flat, smooth bottomed pans that are the same diameter as the
element. This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking
times.
.
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enameled cast iron base will
give you the best results.
.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the hob.
.
Aluminium and copper bottomed cookware can cause a metallic residue to remain
on the hob. If left, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the hob after every use.
Energy saving
.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times.
.
When liquid comes to the boil reduce the temperature setting.
.
Place a pan on the element prior to turning on the heat, to retain the heat.
.
Choose cookware of the proper size, material and construction as indicated
above.
.
Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
.
Use residual heat retained in the glass after the element is turned off to continue
the cooking process or to keep foods warm.
.
Select the proper temperature setting for the cooking task.

hints and tips
Cleaning tips
.
Do not use abrasive pads, corrosive cleaners, aerosol cleaners or sharp objects
to clean the surfaces of the hob.
.
To remove burnt food, soak it off with a damp cloth and washing-up liquid.
.
You may use a scraper purchased from your local market for cleaning food or
residues. Sticky foods must be cleaned immediately when they spill, before the
glass has time to cool down.
.
Be careful not to scratch the silicon adhesive placed on the edges of the glass
whilst using a scraper.
.
The scraper has a razor, therefore, it must be kept away from children.
.
Use special ceramic hob cleaner on the hob while it is warm to touch. Rinse and
wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel. The hob may become stained if
cleaning residue remains.

If there is no dedicated hob circuit and fused switch, they must be installed by a
qualified electrician before the hob is connected.
An approved suitable cable must be connected from the Consumer Unit (main fuse
box) and be protected by its own 30amp fuse or Micro Circuit Breaker (MCB).
The electrician must provide a fused double-pole switch, which disconnects both
the line (live) and neutral conductors.
The switch should be fitted to the kitchen wall and must be placed in an easy
accessible position in accordance with IEE regulations. One end of the suitable
power supply cable connects to the switch and other end connects to hobs power
connection box which is located at the back of the hob. remove the cover of the
power connectipon box and install the cable in accordance with the connection
diagram.
4 Secure the hob in place by putting it into cutout on the work surface.
5 If the hob is being fitted over a cupboard or drawer unit which has no top panel,
a top panel must be fitted. This panel will form a separation between the contents
of the cupboard or drawer and the underside of the hob. The panel should be
removable, to allow for access to the underside of the hob, and can be fitted at
least 10cm from the underside of the hob.
Making an electrical connection
Before making a connection, check that:
.
The mains voltage is the same as that quoted on the rating plate which is situated
at the back of your hob.
.
The circuit can support the appliance load (see the rating plate).
.
The power supply has an earth connection, which complies with the provisions of
current regulations and is in good working order.
.
The fused switch is easily accessible once the hob has been installed.
