PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE
IMPORTANT: When a cooking zone is switched on it may hum briefly. This is a characteristic of all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not impair either the function of the life of the appliance.
Controlling the temperature - single zone
- To increase the heat, turn the control knob clockwise.
- To decrease the heat, turn the control knob anti-clockwise.
- To switch off, turn the control knob to the off position.
- When boiling water or searing food select a high setting. As soon as steam forms or the fat or oil is hot, set a lower heat setting. To end the cooking process, turn the knob to the ‘Off’ position.
IMPORTANT: The Ring Control Knobs for single cooking zones can be turned either right or left.
Controlling the temperature - dual zone
By switching the outside ring on and off, the effective heating surface can be matched to the size of the cookware.
IMPORTANT: The inside ring must be switched on before switching on the outside ring.
- To turn the outside ring on, turn the control knob clockwise past a slight resistance, as far as it will go. The inside ring must be switched on before turning on the outside ring.
- Turn the control knob anti-clockwise to reach the desired setting.
- To switch off, turn the control knob to the off position.
Cookware
- For optimal results use good quality cookware with a heavy flat base. Cookware made of enamelled or with aluminium or copper bottoms can leave discolourations on the glass ceramic surface which are difficult or impossible to remove.
ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENTAL TIPS
- Always place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.
- If possible, always place the lids on the pans.
- Switch the cooking zones off before the end of the cooking time to take advantage of the residual heat.
- Ensure the bottom of the pan is the same size as the cooking zone you are using
CARE AND CLEANING
General cleaning

* Provided with selected models or available for purchase as an accessory
TIPS & INFORMATION
- Sugar, food containing sugar, plastics and tin foil should be removed immediately with a scraper.
- Limescale, water rings, fat splashes and metallic discolouration should be removed with a glass ceramic or stainless steel cleaner when the appliance has cooled down.
- Scratches or dark stains on the glass ceramic that cannot be removed do not affect the functioning of the appliance.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. The cooking zones are not functioning.
- The desired heat setting is not set.
- Set the heat setting.
- The fuse in the house’s electrical wiring (fuse box) has been tripped.
- Check the fuse. If the fuse continues to trip, please call an authorised electrician.
2. The residual heat indicator is not displaying anything.
- The cooking zone was only on for a short period of time and is therefore not hot.
- If the cooking zone is hot, call the Customer Service Department.
3. Red rings, limescale or water rings, shiny metallic or other discolouration, scratches/shadows, bubbles or other miscellaneous stains on ceramic glass cooktop surfaces.
- Cooktop surface has not been cleaned correctly. Cleaning/maintenance of the cooktop surface is not covered under warranty. If a service call is placed to clean the cooktop you will be charged for the visit.
- Use a ceramic glass cleaner such as Cerapol
4. Pitting of ceramic glass surface.
- Spillovers of liquid with high sugar content.
- These types of spills must be removed immediately with a special scraper for the glass. If not, permanent damage to the cooktop glass can occur which is not covered under warranty.
5. The residual heat indicator is not displaying anything.
- The cooking zone was only on for a short time and is therefore not hot.
- If the cooking zone is supposed to be hot, call the Customer Service Department
6. Outer ring on double ring element won’t turn on.
- Control knob has not been turned far enough.
- Turn control knob clockwise, past a slight resistance. Refer instructions
If you are unable to remedy the problem by following the above suggestions, please contact your dealer or the Customer Care Department.

Electrical connection
- Before connecting, check that the nominal voltage of the appliance stated on the rating plate, corresponds to the available supply voltage. The rating plate is located on the lower casing of the hob.
- The hob is to be connected to the mains using a device that allows the appliance to be disconnected from the mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3mm. eg. automatic line protecting cut-out, earth leakage trips or fuse. A cable with a minimum temperature rating of V90HT or higher must be used as the mains connecting cable.
- The connection must be carried out as shown in the diagram. The connecting links should be fitted according to the appropriate connection diagram. The earth lead is connected to terminal
Connection cable
- Use the correct mains cable of type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C (or higher) for a single phase or two phase connection.
- Replace the damaged mains cable with a special cable (type H05BB-F TMAX 90°C or higher) WHC323BC: 3 x 1.5mm² with and all-pole 16A breaker. The others: 3 x 2.5mm2 with an all-pole 25A breaker. Speak to your local Service Centre.
- The earth cord (green/yellow cable) must be 2cm longer than phase and neutral cable (blue and brown cables).
- The cable conditions must be in accordance with regulations and the terminal screws tightened securely.
- The connecting cable is to be secured with the mains cable cleat and the covering closed by pressing firmly (lock into place).

IMPORTANT: Once connected to the mains supply, check that all the cooking zones are ready for use by briefly switching each on in turn at the maximum setting.
Applying the seal
- Clean the worktop around the cut-out area.
- Stick the single-sided adhesive sealing tape provided around the outside edge of the underside of the hob, ensuring that it is not stretched. The 2 ends of the tape should join in the middle of one side. Allow the tape to overlap by 2-3mm, trim, and press the 2 ends together
Assemble spring clips as shown, to support unit in benchtop.
The cooktop must be installed at least 50mm from any combustible surface.
H* - refer to rangehood manufacturers installation instructions for minimum height from cooktop.
NOTE: The clearance must meet or exceed the minimum recommended for both the rangehood and cooktop. Refer to the rangehood installation manual.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to centre the bench cutout with equal distance front and back as shown but the product has also been certified to be installed with no clearance between the rear edge of the cooktop glass and rear wall if required. In doing need to leave sufficient clearance to so, installers still take into account that the glass dimensions are larger than the cut out.
