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.  
IN THE EVENT OF A CHIP PAN OR ANY OTHER PAN FIRE:  
1. Turn off the burners.  
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.

Practical Advice  
Practical Advice on Using the Half Fish-Kettle Burner  
Practical Advice on Using the Burners  
For best performance, follow these general guidelines:  
The two central burners, or Half Fish-Kettle burners, are eliptic  
in form and can be turned up to 90°. This makes the hob  
more flexible in terms of how it can be used.  
Use the appropriate cookware for each burner (see  
table) in order to prevent the flame from reaching the  
sides of the pot or pan;  
Alwasy use cookware with a flat bottom and keep the  
lid on;  
When the contents come to a boil, turn the knob to  
"Low".  
To turn the two central burners 90°, proceed as follows:

Practical Advise on Using the Ceramic Glass Module  
For best performance, keep in mind the following:  
All types of casseroles can be used on the ceramic glass  
cooking surface. However, it is important that the bottom  
be perfectly flat. Casseroles with thicker bottoms distribute  
heat more evenly.  
Set. Radiant Burner

Use cookware the diameter of which is at least as large  
as the cooking area so that all of the heat produced by  
the heating element is used.  
To heat liquids.

For creams and sauces.  
For cooking at the boiling point.  
For roasts.

Make sure that the bottom of the pot is always dry and  
clean to insure good contact between the cookware and  
the cooking surface. This will also increase the life of the  
pots and of the ceramic glass surface as well.  
Do not use the same cookware that you use for gas  
burners because the concentrated heat they produce can  
deform the bottom of the pot. Therefore, you will not  
achieve best results when using these pots on the  
ceramic glass surface.

For utilising both cooking areas.  
Notice: The glue used to seal the glass surface may leave  
traces on the appliance. We recommend that the module be  
cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner before being used the  
first time. During the first few hours of use, you may detect  
the smell of rubber; this will disappear after a short time.

Care and Cleaning  
Before cleaning or performing maintenance on your hob,  
disconnect it from the power supply.  
To extend the life of the hob, it should be cleaned  
carefully and thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in  
mind the following:  
When cleaning the griddle, it is recommeded that you do  
so while it is still hot, using the handles provided to move  
it from the hob to the sink. To remove the pan beneath  
the griddle, it is a good idea to wait until the heating element  
has cooled (roughly after 15 minutes).  
·
Do not use steam equipment to clean the appliance.  
The enamelled parts must be washed with warm water  
without using abrasive powders or corrosive substances  
which could ruin them.  
The removable parts of the burners should be washed  
frequently with warm water and soap, making sure to  
remove caked-on substances.  
On hobs with automatic ignition, the end of the electronic  
ignition device must be cleaned carefully and frequently,  
making sure that the gas holes are not clogged.  
Stainless steel can be stained if it remains in contact  
with highly calcareous water or aggressive detergents  
(containing phosphorous) for an extended period of time.  
It is recommended that these parts be rinsed thoroughly  
with water and then dried well. It is also a good idea to  
clean up any spills.  
Before using the ceramic glass module, the surface should  
be cleaned , using a damp cloth to remove dust or food  
residue. It must be cleaned regularly with a solution of  
warm water and a non-abrasive detergent. First, remove  
all food build up or grease with a cleaning scraper - not  
supplied (Fig.A).  
Greasing theTaps  
The taps may jam in time or they may become difficult to  
turn. If so, the tap itself must be replaced.  
N.B.:This operation must be performed by a technician  
authorised by the manufacturer.  
Clean the cooking surface when it is still warm with a  
suitable cleaning product, rub with a clean damp cloth  
and dry. Sugar or foods with a high sugar content that  
have melted onto the surface must be removed  
immediately with a scraper while the surfacr is still hot. DO  
NOT use abrasive sponges or cleaning products under  
any circumstances. This holds true for chemically  
aggressive cleaners, like oven sprays and stain removers.

Installation  
Gas connection for gas hob  
The hob should be connected to the gas-supply by a corgi  
registered installer. During installation of this product it is  
essential to fit an approved gas tap to isolate the supply  
from the appliance for the convenience of any subsequent  
removal or servicing. Connection of the appliance to the gas  
mains or liquid gas must be carried out according to the  
prescribed regulation in force, and only after it is ascertained  
that it is adaptable to the type of gas to be used. If not,  
follow the instructions indicated in the paragraph headed  
“Adaptation to different gas types”. In the case of connection  
to liquid gas, by tank, use pressure regulators that conform  
to the regulation in force.

f) In the event the hob is not installed above a built-in oven,  
a wood panel must be inserted as insulation. This panel  
must be placed at least 20 mm from the bottom of the  
hob itself.  
Important: When installing the hob above a built-in oven,  
the oven should be placed on two wooden strips; in the  
case of a joining cabinet surface, remember to leave a space  
of at least 45 x 560 mm at the back.  
Connection to the gas source must be done in such a way  
as to not create any stress points at any part of the  
appliance.  
The appliance is fitted with an adjustable, "L" shaped connector  
and a gasket for the attachment to the gas supply. Should this  
connector have to be turned, the gasket must be replaced  
(supplied with the appliance).  
The feeding connector of the gas to the appliance is threaded  
1/2 gas male cylinder.  
Connection to flexible steel tube  
The gas feed connector to the appliance is a threaded, male  
1/2" connector for round gas pipe. Only use pipes and sealing  
gaskets that that conform to the standards currently in force.  
The maximum length of the flexible pipes must not exceed  
2000 mm. Once the connection has been made, ensure  
that the flexible metal tube does not touch any moving parts  
and is not crushed.

Installation  
Adapting the Hob for Different Types of Gas  
Regulation of Air Supply to the Burner  
To adapt the hob to a different type of gas than that for  
which it was designed, (see the sticker under the hob or on  
the packaging), the burner nozzles must be changed, as  
follows:  
The burners do not need any primary air regulator.  
Minimum Regulation  
Minimum regulation:  
Turn the gas valve to minimum.  
Remove the pan supports and slide the burners out of  
Remove the knob and turn the regulator screw (positioned  
either on the side of the top or inside the shaft - Figs. A  
and B) clockwise until the flame becomes small but

the hob.  
Unscrew the nozzles using a 7mm socket wrench and  
replace them with those for the new type of gas. (See  
table 1, “Burner and Nozzle Specifications”).  
N.B.: In the case of liquid gas, the regulation screw must be  
fully screwed in (clockwise).  
Reassemble the parts following the instructions in reverse  
order.  
On completing the operation, replace the old rating label  
with the one showing the new type of gas; the sticker is  
available from Hotpoint Service (see KEY CONTACTS,  
back page).  
If the gas pressure is different than that prescribed, a  
pressure regulator must be installed at the source, in  
compliance with national standards governing the use of  
piped gas regulators.  
Make sure that, when the knob is turned rapidly high to  
low, the flame does not go out.  
In the event of a malfunction on appliances with the  
security device (thermocouple) when the gas supply is  
set at minimum, increase the minimum supply levels using  
the regulator screw in Fig. A - B.  
Once the adjustment has been made, apply sealing wax,  
or a suitable substitute, to the old seals on the by-pass.
