The hob should be installed to provide Class Y protection against risk of fire. All brick, metal, wooden cabinets, etc. can be fitted with the hob, so long as these are heat resistant (T 120°C). The measurements of the opening to be made in the top of the cabinet are shown in Fig. 1. The hob is equipped with a special rubber gasket to prevent particles of food and other foreign objects from getting into the cabinet. The gasket should be adhered to the underside of the hob frame (avoid stretching) close to the edge before the hob is positioned on to the worktop. Fix the hob to the cabinet using the recessed brackets (Figs. 2 and 3). Carefully trim the excess gasket. WARNING: Do not use the hob If it is cracked. Switch off at the cooker control panel Immediately and contact your nearest Hotpoint Service (see back page).

On no account mix oil and fat. d) Do not overload the pan by trying to fry too much. The pan containing oil and food should not be more than two thirds full. e) Dry food thoroughly before frying and lower it slowly into the oil. f) Do not use a lid on the pan. g) Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from fat and oil. h) Do not allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob. In the event of fire follow these steps: 1. If a saucepan or chip pan catches fire turn off the heat if safe to do so, using the hob control switch. 2. Do not attempt to move the pan, this may cause the fire to spread to other areas. 3. Do not use water to put out the fire. If available use only an approved fire extinguisher for the purpose i.e. dry powder, CO2, or halon. 4. If a fire extinguisher is not available, smother the flames with a damp cloth; saucepan lid or fire blanket. When smothering the flames do ensure that your face and arms are well protected from the flames to save you from becoming hurt. 5. After the fire has been extinguished do not move or touch the pan for at least 30 minutes. 6. If you fail to put the fire out call the fire brigade immediately. 9 Cleaning the Ceramic Hob Before cleaning switch the cooker off at the Cooker Control panel. To minimise cleaning always: Avoid spills whenever possible. If a spillage does occur wipe up immediately with clean kitchen towel or a clean cloth so that it does not become burnt on. This is particularly important in the case of sugar solutions as damage can occur to the hob surface. For daily cleaning use a liquid cleaner, eg. Jif. Do not use any abrasive cleaner which could scratch the surface. Never put cooking oil or plastic items onto the hot cooking surface. Should these substances accidentally be burnt onto the hobs it is essential to remove them immediately to avoid damage. To build up protection and keep the surface looking like new we recommend the weekly use of a Ceramic Hob Cleaner-Conditioner. This is available from your retailer or Hotpoint Service Centre (see back page) under Part No. 6004. Regular use of a Cleaner-Conditioner will make future cleaning easier. If heavy solids are burned onto the surface (e.g. boiled over milk) these can be removed, when the surface is cool enough, by careful use of a stainless steel razor scraper or a similar blade in a holder, followed by cleaning with a Conditioner. Hard water stains, grease spots and discolouration having a metallic sheen, can be removed with Solvol Autosol or any non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. After cleaning with Conditioner wipe the hob thoroughly with a clean damp paper towel. This removes any film or specks of cleaner left on the surface, which would show up as dark specks or ‘stains’ next time the surface is heated. Hob cleaner residues must always be completely removed with a clean wet cloth (even if the instructions for use state otherwise) as they can have an etching effect when reheated. Never use abrasive or chemical oven cleaners as they can damage the surface of the Ceramic hob. The visual effect of any scratches which may occur in use can be minimised by the use of cleaner conditioner. Such scratches cannot be removed but do not affect the function of the hob in anyway. Never clean your hob with a dishcloth. 8 Operation (cont’d) Cooking Areas The equipment has four cooking areas as shown in Fig. 4. The positions are clearly indicated on the hob by circles. Heating only occurs within the circles marked on the hob. The surface of the hob and the base of any pans used MUST be clean and dry. There are two warning lights. ...
