We recommend for optimum performance the use of good quality utensils. PANS SHOULD NOT: • Be concave (bowed in). • Be convex (bowed out). • Be rimmed. • Be deeply ridged. BUT SHOULD BE ESSENTIALLY FLAT Always • Use good quality flat-based cookware on all electric heat sources. • Place pans centrally on the hotplate. • Ensure pans have clean, dry bases before use. • Ensure pans match the size of the heating area. • Remember good quality pans retain heat well, so generally only a low or medium heat is necessary. • Ensure pan handles are positioned safely and away from heat sources. • Lift pans, do not drag. • Use pan lids, except when frying. • Deal with spillage immediately, but with care. Never • Use gauze, metal pan diffusers, asbestos mats and stands eg. wok stands - they can cause overheating. • Use utensils with skirts or rims eg. buckets and some kettles. • Use badly dented or distorted pans. • Leave an element on when not cooking. • Cook food directly on the hotplate. • Drag or slide utensils across the hotplate. • Place large preserving pans or fish kettles across two hotplates. • Place plastic vessels or utensils on a hot hob. • Use the hob as an area for storage. In order to avoid heat loss and damage to the hotplate, use utensils with a flat bottom the diameter of which is not less than that of the hotplate. Setting Normal or Fast Plate 0 Off 1 Cooking vegetable, fish 2 Cooking potatoes (using steam), soups, chickpeas, beans 3 Continuing the cooking of large quantities of food, minestrone 4 For roasting (average) 5 For roasting (above average) 6 For browning and reaching boil in a short time 6 Care and Cleaning Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your hob, disconnect it from the power supply. Check that all controls are in the OFF position before reconnecting. Clean spills immediately. NEVER USE: Washing powder, harch abrasive, scouring pads, aerosol cleaners or oven chemical clearners of any kind. Cleaning materials to avoid • Household abrasive powders, eg. Vim. • Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface and attack the metal frame. • Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface. The Hotplates Clean with a cloth wrung out in warm water. Then rub a litlle cooking oil into the hotplates while they are still warm to condition the surface. Ensure care is taken as the hotplates will be warm. Enamelled, Stainless Steel and Glass parts Wipe with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water followed by a wipe with a cloth wrung out in clean water and then dry with a soft clean cloth. Control Knobs Wipe over the knobs with a soft cloth wrung out in warm soapy water or mild non-abrasive. Then, after wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth. Painted Metal Surround Trim Wipe over with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water only. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES. Troubleshooting Before calling service for assistance, check through the following list, there may be nothing wrong. Nothing works. Check to make sure that: • the mains wall switch is switched on. Hotplates are slow to boil or will not simmer. Check to make sure that: • Your pans conform with the recommendations detailed in this book. If, despite all of these checks, the hob does not function properly and problem persists, call Hotpoint Service (see KEY CONTACTS, back page), informing them of: -The type of problem. -The abbreviation used to identify the model (Mod. ...) as indicated on the warranty. IMPORTANT: Never call upon technicians not authorized by the manufacturer, and refuse to accept spare parts that are not original. 7 8 Installation The following instructions are intended for a qualified installer so that the installation and maintenance proceedures may be followed in the most professional and expert manner possible. Important: Unplug the electrical connection before performing any maintenance or regulation upkeep work. Installation of built-in hobs The electric hobs are prepared with protection degree against excessive heating of Y type, it is therefore possible to instal them next to furniture which is higher than the worktop. For a correct installation of the hob the following precautions must be followed: a) The hob may be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom or shower room. b) The hoods must be installed according to the requirements in the hood handbook. c) The dimensions of the cutout for the appliance must be those indicated in the figure. Clamps are provided to fasten the hob to worktops measuring from 20 to 40 mm in thickness. To fasten the hob securely, it is recommended that all the clamps be used. 555 mm 475 mm 55 mm Fastening Clamps - Assembly Diagram Clamp Position for Clamp Position for H=20mm top H=30mm top Front Clamp...
