• Never store items above the appliance that children may attempt to reach.
• Never leave anything on the hob surface when unattended and not in use.
• Never heat up unopened food containers as pressure can build up causing the container to burst.
• Never allow sharp edged instruments to come into contact with the hob glass.
• Never store chemicals/food stuffs, pressurised container in or on the appliance, or in cabinets
immediately above or next to the appliance.
• Never place flammable or plastic items on or near the hob.
• Never fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 full of oil. DO NOT use a lid.

Installation
• This hob can be built into a worktop simply by cutting out the corresponding slot. See Fig. 1.
• The worktop must be made with a material designed to withstand a temperature of approximately
100°C.
• If you wish to install the hob on top of an oven, the latter must be fitted with a cooling fan.
• Try to avoid installing the hob on top of a dishwasher; if this is unavoidable, place a watertight
separating element between the two appliances.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
IMPORTANT
If the hob is installed above a built-in oven, the electrical connection for the hob must be independent
of that for the oven, both for safety reasons and to facilitate the removal of the oven for maintenance,
repair etc.
The hob is equipped with a pre-connected electricity supply cable, which is designed for single phase
connection. Connect the wires in accordance with the instructions given in the following table and
diagrams: -
Voltage, Frequency Electrical Cable Wire Connection
If replacing the supplied cable, use a suitable cable, H05RR-F or higher with the correct dimensions,
(cable cross section 25 mm).

European Directive on the limitation of power consumption of the stand-by mode.
If no operations are carried out for a period of 2 minutes after the residual heat indicator lights turn off
and the fan stops and the appliance automatically switches to the 'off' mode.
The appliance resumes the operating mode once the ON/OFF button is pressed.

• Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use
all the available heat.
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and
extend the life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used on gas burners; the heat concentration on
gas burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly.

Pan Sensor
Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor device. The hotplate only emits heat when a pan
with suitable measurements for the cooking zone is placed on it. If the indicator light is flashing, it may
indicate: -
• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.
Safety Switch
The hob has a safety switch which automatically switches the cooking zones off after they have been
in operation for a certain amount of time at a particular level. When the safety switch has been
triggered, the display shows '0'. For example: The right rear hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after
5 hours of continuous operation, while the font left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 8 hours.
See table below.

This can indicate several irregularities: -
• An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been places on the control panel for more than 10 seconds.
• Something has been spilt on the control panel.
• A button has been pressed for too long.
All of the above situations may cause the buzzer to sound. Remove the cause of the malfunction to
stop the buzzer. If the cause of the problem is not remove, the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob
will switch off.

IMPORTANT:
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example, products in spray cans for cleaning
barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with
abrasive surfaces; these may scratch the surface beyond repair.
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent
kitchen towel.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well
and dry thoroughly.
• To remove more stubborn dirt use a suitable scraper. Remove spills as soon as possible without
waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can achieve
excellent results by using a rust-proof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic
surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• If any plastic or sugary substances are accidentally melted on the hob, remove them immediately
with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.
• Once it is clean the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the
invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance
task should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it thoroughly residues can
become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.

NOTE: -
The Black Hardware Key and USB Serial Cable will be replaced with a new style Hardware Key and
Cable which now has full USB connections. It has shorter, more robust pins, similar to those currently
fitted into the SmartCard Reader.
NOTE: - The USB Hardware Key also supports a low voltage connection point which allows an
external power supply to be connected to the Hardware Key which enables the main module to be
programmed with a settings file prior to fitting it to an appliance. ** NOT applicable to UK Service
Engineers.

Note:
If the Red LED is flashing slowly - a Smart Card is inserted but either:
a) The card is BLANK or previously used (it is erased after a successful download).
b) Is incorrectly inserted - maybe the wrong way round.
c) There is a poor connection between the card and reader.
If the Red LED is flashing rapidly, a card is not inserted or inserted fully.
After successfully downloading the file to the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the mains
supply for 30 seconds before attempting to use it.
