WARNING! For your own safety, make sure that these instructions on installation, use and maintenance are followed.

We advise you to keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

If you sell or transfer ownership of this product, please pass on these instructions to the new owner.

Unpacking Examine your hob for any damage, particularly the hob glass. Make sure there are no chips or cracks.

If there is any damage to the hob or there is anything missing, please contact your supplier for advice. If the hob glass is cracked the appliance must not be connected to the supply, and no part of it may be used.

Locating The hob can be fitted into any 600mm (24”) deep work top with a thickness

the hob of between 30 and 40mm (11/4 to 15/8”). The surface around the hob must be of a heat resistant material.

The work top and its support must be strong enough to carry the weight of the hob plus full cooking pans.

The hob is a class X appliance, as such adjacent walls which project above hob level must not be nearer to the hob than 150mm and should be protected by heat resistant material. Any overhanging surface or cooker hood should not be nearer than 650mm.

We do not recommend positioning the hob below wall cupboards as heat and steam from cooking may cause damage to the cupboard and its contents.

Note: the pictures shown in the figures in this handbook are purely indicative.

Care of Your Hob

	In the interests of both safety and hygiene your Belling hob needs
	to be kept clean. A build-up of grease or fat from cooking may
	cause a fire hazard.
	WARNING! For your own safety, always switch off your hob at
	the mains supply before cleaning.
Ceramic Hob	WARNING! If any crack should appear on the hob, isolate the
	cooker from the mains supply. Do not use any part of the
	cooker but contact your Belling Service Agent.
	The ceramic hob is very hard wearing and with normal care should
	remain in good condition. However, it is important that any spillage
	is dealt with before the hob is used again, otherwise it will become
	baked on.
	Once the hob has cooled, remove any heavy spillage or soiling
	with a metal spatula or scraper, the hob surface should then be
	cleaned using a proprietary Ceramic Hob Cleaner and Conditioner
	on a damp cloth to remove any marks. Wipe off the residue of the
	cleaner with a soft damp cloth and polish the hob with a soft lint-
	free cloth. It is important that the hob is cleaned regularly with
	Ceramic Hob Cleaner & Conditioner as it provides a protective film
	to keep the hob in good condition and assists in keeping the hob
	clean.
	Whilst it is recommended that normal cleaning is carried out when
	the hob has cooled, if jam, fruit or anything with a high sugar
	content is spilled on the hob, or plastic or aluminium is melted onto
	the hob, clean it off immediately, as damage to the hob can result.
	Switch off the hob and use a metal spatula, palette knife or scraper
	to remove the spillage. TAKE CARE, as the spillage and the hob
	may be very hot. When the hob has cooled, clean as usual with
	Ceramic Hob Cleaner & Conditioner.
	Do not use scouring powders or paste, wire wool scouring pads, or
	oven cleaners on the hob as these can cause damage to the hob
	surface.
