- refer servicing to a qualified appliance service engineer.
- keep the hob clean as a build up of grease or fat from
cooking can cause a fire.
- follow the basic principles of food handling and hygiene
to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.
- dry food thoroughly before frying and lower it slowly into
the hot oil or fat. Frozen food in particular, will cause
frothing and spitting if added too quickly.
- keep outside of pans clean and free from streaks of oil or
fat.
- place pans centrally over the hotplates making sure
handles are kept away from the edge of the hob and cannot
be heated by other hotplates.
- allow children to play with or tamper with the controls.
- leave children unsupervised where cooking appliances
are installed as all the cooking surfaces get hot during and
after use.
- store chemicals, foodstuffs or pressurised containers in
or on the appliance, or in cabinets immediately above or
next to the appliance.
- use flammable or plastic items on or near the hob.
- use adapters, multiple sockets and/or extension leads.
- fill a deep fat frying pan more than 1/3 full of oil, or use a
lid.DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
- fry too much food at a time, especially frozen food. This
only lowers the temperature or the oil or fat too much,
resulting in greasy food.
- pull on the appliance or the supply cable to unplug it from
the electrical outlet.
- allow power cables of other appliances to come into contact
with hot parts of this appliance.
- keep any ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
- expose the appliance to atmospheric agents, such as
rain or sunlight.
- operate the appliance with wet hands.
- operate the appliance when barefoot.
- allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
- use misshapen pans which may be unstable.
- use fish kettles or large preserving pans across two
hotplates.
- gaze at halogen elements when they are in operation.
- leave anything on the hob surface when unattended and
not in use.
SAFETY ADVICE
IMPORTANT - As with any cooking appliance there could be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly for
deep fat frying. Cooking utensils containing oil must not be left unattended (eg. to answer the telephone) on or in close
proximity to the cooking areas.
INTHE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:
1.Turn off the hotplates.
2. Cover the pan with a fire blanket or damp cloth, this will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.
3. Leave the pan to cool for at least 60 minutes before moving it. Injuries are often caused by picking up a hot pan and
rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE as the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan
over. Never use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.

HowTo UseYour Hob
Guide to using the hotplates:
The heating elements are circular in shape and turn red
in colour 20-30 seconds after they have been turned on.
The control knobs
Each cooking area is equipped with a control knob to
regulate the temperature at any time from a minimum of 1
to a maximum of 12. The table gives information on the
settings indicated on the knobs and the corresponding,
recommended uses.
Mixed halogen zones.
The hob utilises heating elements which are made up of
two halogen lamps and a circular heating element.
This combination provides ideal heat distribution across
the entire surface of the cooking area. Halogen lamps
provide an instantaneous emission of a large quantity of
light and heat, which means they are:

For melting butter, chocolate
• a rapid source of heat similar to that provided by gas

• an equally rapid elimination of the heat source.
Halogen lamps are extremely easy to use and their
operation is similar to that of other heating elements.

This light indicates that the temperature of one or more
cooking areas is above 60°C, even thought the elements
have been turned off. Some models come equipped with
four such indicator lights, one for each of the four cooking
areas.

Practical Advice
Choice of utensils:
Every Electric Hob deserves the right choice of utensils.
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
Never
•
Use good quality flat-based cookware on all electric
heat sources.
•
•
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.
•
•
•
•
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.

Hob Spillages:
The Best Combinations:
1. Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean
cloth or a paper towel to avoid any unnecessary damage
to the hob. Extreme care should be taken to avoid steam
burns and hot surfaces when cleaning spillage from the
hob.
Below is a general guide to the types of pan suitable for
different types of hobs and cookers. Remember pans
should be good quality with smooth, flat bases. For any
further information refer to the manufacturers instructions.
2. 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 occured, remove it as
long as it is still hot, with a metal safety razor scraper.
This will avoid any damage.
NEVER let it cool before removing.
3. Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before
placing on the hob.

Care and Cleaning
Powder Cleanser - Mineral deposits that are present in
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.
hard water and some foods may cause discolouration, that
appear in the form of grey or brown stains. The stains
sometimes appear to be in or under the glass surface. If
there are any persistent stains after using any of the other
recommended cleaning materials, powder cleanser may be
applied, following the manufactures instructions. DO NOT
use abrasive cleaners or powder cleanser on the painted
metal framework. Pans with aluminium bases should be
lifted rather than dragged across the hob surface.This will
avoid metal rubbing off the pan onto the glass. Such marks
are easily removed by the powder cleanser provided they
are not subsequently baked on for long periods at high
temperatures.
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.
Cleaner Conditioner - Regular use of the conditioner will
make the surface easier to clean thus ebsuring that years
of heavy abrasive cleaning do not progressively dull the
surface. If the hob is scratched through accident or misuse.
soil that collects will appear as fine brown lines; these are
not fully removable but can be made less obvious by the
daily use of cleaner conditioner.Cooking performance is in
no way affected by scratched on the surface.
The Ceramic Hob
To reduce the amount of cleaning always ensure that the
hob and cooking utensils are clean and dry before use.
Regular use of cleaner conditioner is recommended for
proper care and protection of the hob surface. Apply
conditioner before using the hob for the first time. It contains
a mild cleaning agent, so that subsequent cleaning
applications may clean off soil and apply a protective film
at the same time. For stubborn stains or heavy soiling use
any of the following materials, and finish off with conditioner:
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.
1.
2.
3.
Cif, non-scratch scouring cream.
Liquid Gumption Kitchen Cleanser.
Special Powder Cleanser.
Painted Metal SurroundTrim
Wipe over with a cloth wrung out in warm soapy water
only. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES.
Stainless Steel
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.
Troubleshooting
Before calling service for assistance, check through the
following list, there may be nothing wrong.
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.
Nothing works.
Check to make sure that:
•
the mains wall switch is switched on.
If a control is on, the corresponding residual heat
indicator light will come on.
IMPORTANT:
Hotplates are slow to boil or will not simmer.
Check to make sure that:
Never call upon technicians not authorized by the
manufacturer, and refuse to accept spare parts that are
not original.
•
Your pans conform with the recommendations detailed
in this book.
