Safety and warnings
Operation and maintenance
WARNING!
Electrical Shock Hazard
Do not cook on a broken or cracked cooktop. If the cooktop surface should
break or crack, switch the appliance off immediately at the mains power
supply (wall switch) and contact a qualified technician.
Switch the cooktop off at the wall before cleaning or maintenance.
Failure to follow this advice may result in electrical shock or death.
WARNING!
Fire Hazard

with the ceramic glass until the surface is cool.
Never leave metal objects on the cooktop as they can become hot very
quickly.
Keep children away.
Handles of saucepans may be hot to touch. Check saucepan handles do not
overhang other cooking zones that are on. Keep handles out of reach of
children.
Failure to follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.
WARNING!
Cut Hazard
The razor-sharp blade of a cooktop scraper is exposed when the safety
cover is retracted. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out
of reach of children.
Failure to use caution could result in injury or cuts.

Installation instructions
Before you install the cooktop, make sure that
the benchtop is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space requirements
the benchtop is made of a heat-resistant material
the cooktop will not be installed directly above a dishwasher, as the humidity may damage the
cooktop
the installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and
regulations
a suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is
incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring
rules and regulations. The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air
gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules
allow for this variation of the requirements)
the isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the cooktop installed
you consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation
you use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces
surrounding the cooktop.
When you have installed the cooktop, make sure that
the power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers
there is adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the cooktop
if the cooktop is installed directly above an oven or its base is accessible through a cupboard
or drawer space after installation, a thermal protection barrier is installed below the base of the
cooktop (see Figs.1a and 1b).

Installation instructions
Connecting the cooktop to the mains power supply
Important!
This cooktop must be connected to the mains power supply only by a suitably qualified person.
This cooktop must be earthed.
Before connecting the cooktop to the mains power supply, check that:
1
2
3
the domestic wiring system is suitable for the power drawn by the cooktop
the voltage corresponds to the value given on the rating plate
the power supply cable sections can withstand the load specified on the rating plate.
To connect the cooktop to the mains power supply, do not use adapters, reducers, or branching
devices, as they can cause overheating and fire.
The power supply cable must not touch any hot parts and must be positioned so that its
temperature will not exceed 75oC at any point.
Power supply
CE302 3000W @ 220-240V ~ (13 A)
CE604 6000-6500 W @ 230-240/400-415V 3N~ (26-27 A)
Important!
Check with an electrician whether the domestic wiring system is suitable without alterations. Any
alterations must only be made by a qualified electrician.
To connect the power supply cable to the cooktop (CE604 models only) (Fig. 6)
Unscrew shield ‘A’ at the bottom of the cooktop.

Installation instructions
Final checklist
TO BE COMPLETED BY THE INSTALLER
Is the cooktop earthed?
Check that the power supply cable is NOT touching the base of the cooktop. This will ensure that
the cable is not damaged by heat from the cooktop.
Check that the power supply cable is not accessible via cupboard doors or drawers.
Is the cooktop clamped down securely?
Check that all the cooking zones function correctly. Turn on all of them to a high setting and
leave them on for at least one minute. Are all elements glowing?
Is the ‘Cooking zone On’ indicator light functioning when you turn a cooking zone on? Turn all
the cooking zones on individually to check.
To check that the ‘Hot surface’ indicator functions correctly, turn off all the cooking zones. Is the
‘Hot surface’ indicator light functioning?
Have you shown the customer how to use the cooktop? Make sure you explain to the customer
about the ‘Hot surface’ indicator. Encourage them to read the full user guide before using the
cooktop.

Using your cooktop
The cooking zones become red when turned on full.
Whenever a cooking zone is turned on, the ‘Cooking zone On’ indicator light will glow.
When a cooking zone is turned off, the ‘Hot surface’ indicator light will glow until the glass
becomes cool enough to be safely touched.
Cooking zone controls
To begin cooking, turn the control knob of the cooking zone you wish to use to the High setting,
then adjust as necessary.
For further advice, see ‘Cooking guidelines’ following.
When you have finished cooking, turn the knob to the off (O) position.
When you have finished using your cooktop, make sure that all knobs are turned off and the
‘Cooking zone On’ indicator is unlit.

Cooking guidelines
Cookware
Use heavy-gauge, flat, smooth-based cookware that matches the diameter of the cooking zone.
This will provide good contact with the glass and help reduce cooking times. Low heat or slow
cooking is often due to incorrect cookware size.
Cookware with a stainless steel sandwich base or enamelled cast iron will give you the best
results.
Saucepans or heavy frying pans with jagged edges or a rough base will scratch the glass.
Always lift pans off the cooktop - do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
Never use plastic or aluminium foil dishes on the cooktop.
Aluminium and copper-based cookware will leave metallic stains on the cooktop. To prevent
these building up, clean the cooktop after every use following the instructions in ‘Care and
cleaning’. If the metallic stains are allowed to burn onto the surface, they may react with the
glass and may no longer be removable. They don’t, however, affect performance.
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven, or another cooking zone, on the glass surface
when the surface is cool.
Avoid placing anything on a hot cooking zone until it has cooled completely.
17
Cooking guidelines
Important!
Never leave the appliance unattended when in use. Boilover causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.
Take care when deep-frying: oil or fat can overheat very quickly, particularly on a high setting.
General cooking tips
Using a lid will reduce cooking times through retaining the heat.
Minimise the amount of liquid to reduce cooking times.
Start cooking on a high setting and reduce it when the food has come to the boil or heated
through.
Even after a cooking zone has been turned off, its glass surface retains enough heat to continue
cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from hot cooking zones when the food is cooked.
Cooking rice, simmering
Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a setting higher than
the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the time recommended.
Simmering occurs below boiling point, when bubbles are just rising occasionally to the surface
of the cooking liquid. It’s the key to delicious soups and tender stews because the flavours
develop without overcooking the food. Egg-based sauces are best kept below boiling point
throughout cooking, and flour-based sauces should also be gently simmered after they have
reached boiling point.
Searing steak

5
Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
Brush both sides of the steak with oil and season it to taste.
Lower the meat onto the hot pan.
Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness
of the steak and how cooked you want it. Times vary between 2 to 8 minutes per side. Press the
steak to gauge how cooked it is: the firmer it feels, the more ‘well done’ it will be.
Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and become tender
before serving.

Care and cleaning
Important!
For your safety, switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall before any cleaning. In this case,
there will be no ‘Hot surface’ indication, but the cooking zones may still be hot! Take extreme
care.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean your cooktop.
Do not use scourers or any harsh/abrasive cleaning agents to clean your cooktop, as these can
scratch the ceramic glass or stainless steel.
