[. . . ] This guarantee is only applicable if the appliance has been installed in accordance with the installation instructions detailed in this booklet. To help make best use of your cooking equipment, please read this booklet carefully. The hob is designed specifically for domestic use and responsibility will not be accepted for use in any other installation. When first using the hob ensure that the room is well ventilated (e. g. [. . . ] Remember pans should be good quality, with smooth, flat bases. For any further information refer to manufacturers' instructions. Saucepan Types Aluminium Stainless steel with single layer copper base Stainless steel with sandwich bases of aluminium and stainless or aluminium and copper. Enamelled steel Enamelled Aluminium Enamelled based cast iron Cast Iron Copper Toughened glass or ceramic / glass / pottery Mild steel, Ferro-magnetic or stainless with a magnetic sandwich base Suitability With Care Not Recommended Hob Spillage Notes 1. Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean cloth or a paper towel to avoid unnecessary damage to the hob. Extreme care should be taken to avoid steam burns and hot surfaces when cleaning spillage from the hob. When cooking food that contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a utensil which is large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar spillage will permanently damage the hob and therefore should be cleaned off with care immediately. If sugar spillage has occurred, remove it as long as it is still hot with a metal safety razor scraper. Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before placing on the hob. Extreme caution should be used when cleaning the hot hob! 7 Using Your Hob NEVER allow aluminium foil to be in contact with the hob surface when in use. Setting the Hotplate Step 1 Place the saucepan centrally on the required hotplate. BE32 240V Heating Areas: (1) 1. 2kW (2) 1. 8kW (3) 1. 2kW (4) 1. 8kW 230 - 240V ~ 5. 5 - 6. 0 kW 50Hz 1 3 4 1 2 3 4 9 Using Your Hob In the unlikely event of a crack (no matter what size) appearing in the ceramic surface switch of the electricity supply to the appliance IMMEDIATELY and contact your Service Centre. DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED!Do not leave a hotplate turned on when you are not cooking as this makes it harder to clean the ceramic surface. Temperature cut-outs are built into the hob elements to protect them from over heating. After several minutes with the control setting on FULL the temperature cut-out switches the element OFF and ON continuously. This protects the hob element against the build-up of excessive heat in the cooking area. Care should be taken when using any pans on a ceramic surface not to drag and cause scratching. Tip: Only use stainless steel pans with copper or aluminium and copper sandwich bases in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The base of the pan and the hob surface must be cleaned and the hob surface conditioned after every use. If these recommendations are not followed a thin copper layer will build up on the hob surface which if not cleaned after each use will result in permanent marking of the hob surface. Something Wrong ? Before contacting your Hotpoint Service Centre / Installer, check the following; there may be nothing wrong with your appliance. PROBLEM Nothing works Hotplates are slow to boil or will not simmer Disposal of your product CHECK Is the main wall switch to the cooker turned on ?.

Access to the mains terminals is gained by removing the rear access cover. The mains cable must pass through the cable clamp adjacent to the terminal block.
