EQUIPMENT

For the LAYOUT OF HOTPLATES see the mo-

dels illustrated in figure 1 at the back of this ma-

nual.

For the ELECTRIC WIRING DIAGRAM see figu-

re 2 at the back of this manual.

The electrical power is indicated on the namepla-

te underneath the hob.

A copy of the nameplate is glued to the cover of

this manual.

INSTALLATION

The hob must be installed by a qualified electri-

cian in line with all electrical and installation re-

quirements published by the institute of Electrical

Engineers.

UNPACKING YOUR HOB

Once the packaging has been removed, thor-

oughly check that the appliance is in perfect con-

dition.

If you have any doubts do not use the appliance

and call Comet Service Centre on 0870

5425425.

Some parts mounted on the appliance are pro-

tected by a plastic film. This protection must be

removed before using the appliance. We recom-

mend slitting the plastic film along the edges with

a sharp knife or pin.

Position

To fit the hob into the unit make an opening of the

dimensions given in fig 3 remembering that:

• Inside the unit there must be a space of at least

30mm between the bottom of the hob and the

top of a shelf.

• Any wall to the side of the hob must be at least

100mm away (fig 3).

• The wall behind the hob must be at least 58mm

away (fig 3).

• When there is a wall unit or hood above the hob

there must be at least 650mm between the hob

and the unit or hood.

• If the hob is not installed over a built in oven, it

is essential to install a heat baffle between the

bottom of the hob and the underlying unit.

• If the hob is installed over a built in oven, there

must be a distance of at least 30mm between

the two appliances.

Fixing

A self adhesive seal (A fig 4) is supplied with the

hob. This must be placed under the edge of the

hob top, as close as possible to the edge (fig 4).

The seal must run all round the unit to ensure a

perfect seal and prevent moisture from seeping

under the hob.

Place the hob in the hole in the worktop, making

sure that there is a good seal between the edge

of the hob and the worktop ( fig 5).

Secure the hob to the worktop using the brackets

(C fig 6) and screws supplied, do not over tighten

the screws.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

For your safety please read the following infor-

mation

Warning: This appliance must be earthed.

Your hob must be connect to the mains supply by

a qualified electrician.

To connect the mains cable to the hob it is nec-

essary to carry out the following operations:

• Unscrew the small cover plate on the base of

the hob.

• Ensure the links are fitted into the mains termi-

nal block as shown in (fig 2).

• Insert the mains cable type 3x2.5mm2 through

the hole in the base plate.

• Connect the wires to the terminal block as

shown in (fig 2).

• Secure the mains cable with the cable clamp.

• Refit the cover plate.

Important

This appliance requires a 30 amp supply.

A double pole switch must be provided no further

than 2 metres from the appliance to the electrical

supply.

All supply current and earth conductors must be

able to withstand an ambient of 750C.

The appliance must be connected using 3x2.5

mm2 cable (not supplied).

Note: This appliance is intended to be perma-

nently connected to fixed wiring.

If you are using the hob for the first time or after

a period where the hob as not been in use, you

should set the controls to position 1 for approxi-

mately 30 seconds to dry out any humidity.

IMPORTANT: the manufacturer declines all liabil-

ity for damage due to failure to comply with the

regulations and standards in force.

HOW TO USE THE HOB

The different heat settings are obtained as

follows:

- 1 = minimum setting;

- 6 = maximum setting;

- 0 = off.

Pans must never be smaller in diameter than the

hotplates and their bottoms must be as flat as

possible (see fig. 7).

IMPORTANT:

- Never leave hotplates on without pans, except

when first used; leave for about 10 minutes to

dry oil or moisture residues;

- if the hotplate is to be out of use for a long time,

apply a little grease to its painted surface;

- do not allow spills to burn onto the hotplate, re-

quiring the use of abrasive cleaners.

For economical cooking:

- Use pans with flat bottoms which are in contact

with the hotplate in all points:

• in stainless steel with thick or sandwich bottom;

• in aluminium with thick, flat bottom;

• in enamelled steel;

- make sure that pans are of appropriate size; the

pan bottom diameter must be equal to or larger

than that of the hotplate used;

- switch the hotplate off a few minutes before the

dish is completely cooked;

- use a lid whenever possible to prevent losses by

evaporation;

- never supply more power than the food is able

to absorb; excess heat leads to losses of water

and fats and wasted energy;

- never use more water than necessary.

The table below will serve as a guide, bearing in

mind that cooking times and temperatures may

vary depending on the type and amount of foods

cooked and personal taste.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

General tips

• Before cleaning the hob switch it off and wait for

it to cool down.

• Clean with a cloth, hot water and soap or liquid

detergent.

• Do not use products which are abrasive, corro-

sive or chlorine based.

• Do not use steel pads.

• Do not leave vinegar, coffee, milk, salty water or

juice of lemon or tomato on the hob surface for

any length of time.

Warning

After use to keep the electric plates in good con-

dition and prevent rusting apply a small drop of

cooking oil onto the plates.

If any liquid spills over it must always be removed

with a sponge.

Enamelled parts

All enamelled parts must be washed only with a

sponge and warm soapy water or other non

abrasive products. Dry carefully.

Stainless steel parts

Clean with special products for stainless steel

which are available on the market. Dry preferably

using a chamois leather.

Note: Regular use will cause discolouring around

the burners, this is due to the high temperature of

the flame

Control knobs

The control knobs can be removed for cleaning

by just pulling.
