User manual HOTPOINT-ARISTON HBBE32

[. . . ] May we wish you many years of carefree successful cooking. * The guarantee is subject to the provisions that the appliance: (a) (b) (c) (d) Has been used solely in accordance with the Users Instruction Book. Has been properly connected to a suitable supply voltage as stated on the rating plate attached to this equipment. Has not been subjected to misuse or accident or been modified or repaired by any person other than the authorised employee or agent. Has been correctly installed. This appliance conforms to the following EEC Directives: Low Voltage Equipment 73/23/EEC 93/68/EEC Electromagnetic Compatibility 89/336/EEC 92/31/EEC 93/68/EEC 3 Safety Information When used properly your appliance is completely safe but as with any electrical product there are certain precautions that must be observed. [. . . ] Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the appropriate heating area. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or cooking period. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, then lower it slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods in particular will cause the fat to froth and spit if added to quickly. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free of streaks of oil or fat. 8 Using Your Hob The hob has four cooking areas which are indicated on the hob glass. There is also an on/off light which comes on when one or more of the cooking areas are switched on. The knobs can be rotated in either direction to provide fully variable heat control. All models also have a hot hob warning light, to indicate when any heating area may be hot. This illuminates when any control is switched on and remains illuminated for some time after switching the control off. Hob Units - Features The rating plate for all models is situated on the underside of the base panel. 2 Model No. BE32 240V Heating Areas: (1) 1. 2kW (2) 1. 8kW (3) 1. 2kW (4) 1. 8kW 230 - 240V ~ 5. 5 - 6. 0 kW 50Hz 1 3 4 1 2 3 4 9 Using Your Hob In the unlikely event of a crack (no matter what size) appearing in the ceramic surface switch of the electricity supply to the appliance IMMEDIATELY and contact your Service Centre. Do not leave a hotplate turned on when you are not cooking as this makes it harder to clean the ceramic surface. Temperature cut-outs are built into the hob elements to protect them from over heating. After several minutes with the control setting on FULL the temperature cut-out switches the element OFF and ON continuously. This protects the hob element against the build-up of excessive heat in the cooking area. Care should be taken when using any pans on a ceramic surface not to drag and cause scratching. Tip: Only use stainless steel pans with copper or aluminium and copper sandwich bases in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. The base of the pan and the hob surface must be cleaned and the hob surface conditioned after every use. If these recommendations are not followed a thin copper layer will build up on the hob surface which if not cleaned after each use will result in permanent marking of the hob surface. Something Wrong ? Before contacting your Hotpoint Service Centre / Installer, check the following; there may be nothing wrong with your appliance. PROBLEM Nothing works Hotplates are slow to boil or will not simmer Disposal of your product CHECK Is the main wall switch to the cooker turned on ?. Check that your pans conform with the recommendations detailed in this book. To minimise the risk of injury to children please dispose of your product carefully and safely. Remove the mains cable (where fitted) by cutting off flush with the appliance and always ensure that no plug is left in a condition where it could be connected to the electricity supply. To help the environment Local Authority instructions should be followed for the disposal of you product. Such marks are easily removed by the powder cleanser provided they are not subsequently baked on for long periods at high temperatures. [. . . ] Remove the bag containing the sealing tape, fixing brackets and screws. Lower the hob into the worktop ensuring the mains lead is fed into the base unit and is not trapped under the flanges. Fix the hob to the worktop using the fixing brackets and screws (see Fig 2) ensuring that the insulating pads are fitted between the brackets and the worktop (see fig 2). The brackets can either be hooked into the base panel slots or used to form a bridge between the panel and the worktop. [. . . ]
