How to use the hob
The ceramic surface of the hob allows fast transmission of heat
vertically from the heating elements under the glass to the pans
on the hob top.
Hi-light cooking zone
Ø 140mm
The heat does not spread horizontally, so the hob top remains
relatively cool only a few centimetres from the zone in use.

Efficient Use of your Hob
The hob is equipped with zones of different sizes, designed to accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best
results, only use pans with flat bottoms and choose an appropriate zone depending on the size of the pan. The most
efficient use of the hob is shown below, where the pan and zone are correctly chosen.
Use pan lids where possible to minimize the energy usage of your appliance.
To reduce the cooking time, set the control knob to its maximum position when you first switch the plate on. Once the
zone has reached its temperature, then turn the control knob to the required position.
As the zone will remain hot for a period of time after it has been switched off, five to ten minutes before the planned
end of cooking time, turn the zone off. The residual heat in the hob will be sufficient to finish the cooking.

It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a suitable material and have the correct type of base.
The base should be flat and smooth, as any rough part on the pan base could scratch the ceramic hob top.
Choose pans which are between the sizes recommended in the table above, and with bases that are as non-reflective as
possible, e.g. dull and dark.
Only pans recommended for use on ceramic hobs should be used.
Pans with aluminium bases may leave silver streaks or spots on the hob. Glassware and pans with rough circulare
machined bases should not be used
10
Care and Maintenance
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before undertaking any cleaning or maintenance.
You should use a non-abrasive cleaner to clean the hob top. Any abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and
could erase the control panel markings.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive sponges or sharp utensils such as knives to clean the hob as these could damage the hob.
The hob surface and the pans must be clean.
Carefully remove any food remains (especially those containing sugar), dirt etc. as soon as is possible after spillage - using a
ceramic hob scraper if necessary whilst the zone is still hot.
Once they have cooled and hardened they become increasingly difficult to remove.
Sugar/syrup mixtures could permanently pit the hob surface if left to burn on.
The stainless steel trims should be rinsed with water and dried with a soft, clean cloth, a chamois leather or an E-Cloth.
If necessary, the control knobs can be removed for cleaning, but you should take care not to damage the seal nor to allow
water inside the hob itself.
All cleaner residues should be removed with a damp cloth.

Fitting the Hob
Unpacking the hob:
•
Take care not to lose or mishandle any parts.
Fitting position of the hob:
This appliance must be installed a minimum of 50mm from any back wall and a minimum of 190mm away from any
adjacent vertical surfaces, e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This may be reduced to 100mm if the adjacent surface is resistant
to fire (tiles or steel, for example). These dimensions are shown in Fig.12.
If fitting a cooker hood above the hob:
If a cooker hood is to be installed above the hob, the height of the hood above the hob must be at least 600mm (650mm is
recommended) (Fig.13). If the instructions supplied with the hood dictate that the hood must be installed at a height greater
than 600mm, then that height is the minimum required.
Wall furniture requirements:
The minimum height of any cabinet immediately above the hob is 900mm. The minimum height of any adjacent units
(including light pelmets) is 400mm, unless they are manufactured from a material resistant to fire (steel, for example)
Notes:
•
•
Do not position this appliance above a refrigeration unit. The heat generated may cause the refrigeration unit to fail.
This appliance is designed to be installed into cabinet units capable of withstanding temperatures of 65°C or greater
above ambient temperature.
•
•
If there is no oven to be built in below the hob, an isolation shelf should be fitted to protect the user from high
temperatures. If the hob is to be installed above a working drawer, then a partition should be fitted to protect the
contents and user from the heat generated during use. This should be fitted 100mm below the hob.
Never place perishable foods in the cupboard below the appliance.

How to Install the Hob
How to install the hob:
Overall dimensions of the hob: HVC65 width 590mm depth 510mm
HVC75 width 770mm depth 510mm
Worktop cut-out dimensions: HVC65 width 560mm depth 490mm
HVC75 width 740mm depth 490mm
1. Make the required hole in the worktop. Before doing this, you must check the instructions supplied with any cooker
hood to ensure that you will have the required clearance. The cut-out (Fig.12) shows a 60mm gap from the wall to the
cut-out edge. The distance from the hob, when fitted, to the back wall is 50mm. If a splashback/worktop upstand is to
be fitted, take this into account when cutting the hole. The minimum distance that the hob should be positioned away
from the rear wall or splashback is 50mm.
2. Position the hob seal, as shown in (Fig.14), ensuring that the ends meet without overlapping. Do not use silicone type
sealant.
3. Secure the hob to the worktop using the fixing brackets and screws supplied, as shown in (Fig.15). Remove any excess
sealant after tightening the brackets. Do not over-tighten the fixing brackets.
