What is the warranty period for this hob?

Please refer to the product documentation or retailer for specific warranty information, as it can vary.

Can I install this hob myself?

While basic installation might seem straightforward, professional electrical installation is strongly recommended to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

Troubleshooting

Hob does not turn on

Check the main power supply to the kitchen. Ensure the circuit breaker for the hob has not tripped. Verify that the hob is correctly connected to the power source.

Cooking zones not heating evenly

Ensure the cookware used has a flat and clean base. Check that the cookware is centered on the cooking zone. If the issue persists, the hob may require professional inspection.

Residual Heat Indicator lights stay on

The indicator lights are designed to stay on as long as the zone is hot or if there is a minor internal fault. If the zone is cool and the light remains on for an extended period, contact customer support.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Daily Cleaning: Allow the hob to cool completely. Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent to wipe away spills and food residue. For stubborn marks, a specialized ceramic hob cleaner can be used.
  • Stubborn Stains: For burnt-on food, use a scraper designed for ceramic hobs, holding it at a low angle to gently lift the residue. Always ensure the hob is cool before scraping.
  • Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or damage the ceramic glass surface.
  • Residual Heat: Always check the Residual Heat Indicator lights before cleaning to ensure the zones are cool.
