Installing your hob
Connecting the hob The connection to the electrical supply must be made before fitting
|
|
|
| the hob in the work top. |
|
|
| |||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| For your own safety, we recommend that your hob is connected by | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| a competent electrician. The installation must comply with current | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| I.E.E. Wiring Regulations. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| The hob must be connected to the correct electrical supply as | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| stated on the voltage label, located on the underside of the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| product, through a suitable | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| minimum contact separation of 3mm in all poles. We recommend | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| that the circuit is rated to 32 Amps. We recommend P.V.C. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| insulated twin and earth cable with a conductor size of 4mm ² to | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| connect the hob to the mains supply. The maximum size of cable | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| that can be used is 6mm ² twin and earth, the minimum is 4mm². | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| Access to the mains terminal block, for supply cable connection, is | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| gained by removing the small plate on the underside front left hand | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| corner of the hob. Pass the mains cable through the plastic | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| grommet provided and secure it by using the cable clamp. Connect | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| the mains cable as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| - Live to terminal | L | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| - Neutral to terminal | N | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| - Earth to terminal |

|
|
|
|
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| Allow sufficient cable length for the hob to be removed for | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| maintenance, but ensure that the cable is looped well to the back | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| of the cabinet and is kept clear of the base of the hob. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fitting the hob | Apply the self adhesive seal to the underside edges of the hob | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| glass. For best results, the seal should be adhered along each side | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| in turn, as close to the edge as possible, and trimmed at each | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| corner, taking care to ensure a neat join. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| Place the hob in the aperture, checking that the hob glass is | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| covering the worktop along all four sides. Set the front edge of the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| appliance parallel with the front of the worktop. Locate and attach | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| the securing clamps (x 2) to the front and rear underside of the | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| hob, using the screws provided. Tighten the screws so that the hob | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|
| is pulled down firmly against the worktop, thus ensuring a good | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

Safety Features
Safety Lock | It is possible to lock the element controls and timer against | ||
| accidental operation. At any time during the hobs use, if the pad | ||
| marked | is touched for 2 seconds the controls will be locked | |
| i.e. they cannot be adjusted. The lock function is shown by its neon | ||
| being illuminated. If the minute minder is in use at the time, it will | ||
| continue to countdown as normal. | ||
| Touch the pad marked | for 2 seconds to remove lock | |
| We recommend that the hob is locked whenever it is not in use, | ||
| especially if children are likely to be present. |
Hob Hot Warning When each plate is switched off after use, H will flash on the energy level indicator, to indicate that the plate is still hot. This will continue until the hob glass has cooled sufficiently to be safe to touch.
If the hob is switched off before the glass has cooled sufficiently, the H will be displayed continuously. This indicates to the user that the hob still retains heat following use. The H will go out when the hob surface has cooled sufficiently to be safe to touch.
CAUTION! If the electricity supply to the hob is interrupted or switched off following use, the H hob hot indicators will not appear when the electricity supply is reinstated, despite the elements still being dangerously hot to touch.
