- keep any ventilation slots clear of obstructions.  
- allow power cables of other appliances to come into contact.  
- with hot parts of this appliance.  
- expose the appliance to atmospheric agents, such as  
rain or sunlight.  
- operate the appliance with wet hands.  
- allow anyone to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.  
- use misshapen pans which may be unstable.  
- use round base woks directly on the pan supports.  
- use fish kettles or large preserving pans across two burners.  
- operate the appliance with wet parts of the body.  
- operate the appliance when barefoot.  
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.

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.  
To extend the life of the hob, it should be cleaned  
carefully and thoroughly on a frequent basis, keeping in  
mind the following:  
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.  
Greasing the Gas Valves  
Over time, the gas valves may stick or become difficult to  
turn. If this is the case, the must be cleaned on the inside  
and the regreased.  
N.B.: This procedure must be performed by a technician  
authorized by the manufacturer.  
Troubleshooting  
Before calling service for assistance, check through the  
following list, there may be nothing wrong.  
If the burner does not remain on when set to "Low".  
Check to make sure that:  
First of all, check to see that there are no interruptions in the  
gas and electrical supplies, and, in particular, that the gas  
valves for the mains are open.  
The gas holes are not clogged.  
There are no draughts near the cooking surface.  
The minimum has been adjusted correctly (see Installation  
section, "Minimum Regulation").  
If the burner does not light or the flame is not uniform  
around the burner.  
If the cookware is not stable.  
Check to make sure that:  
Check to make sure that:  
The gas holes on the burner are not clogged.  
All of the movable parts that make up the burner are  
mounted correctly.  
The bottom of the cookware is perfectly flat.  
The cookware is centered correctly on the burner .  
The support grids have not been inverted.  
There are no draughts around the cooking surface.  
If, despite all of these checks, the hob does not function  
properly and problem persists, call Hotpoint Service (see  
KEY CONTACTS, back page), informing them of:  
- The type of problem.  
- The abbreviation used to identify the model (Mod. ...) as  
indicated on the warranty.  
If the flame does not stay lit on a model with the  
Flame Failure device.  
Check to make sure that:  
You press the knob all the way in.  
You keep the knob pressed in long enough to activate  
the flame failure device.  
The gas holes are not clogged in the area corresponding  
to the flame failure device.  
IMPORTANT:  
Never call upon technicians not authorized by the  
manufacturer, and refuse to accept spare parts that are not  
original.

Electrical Connection  
Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:  
Electrical connection  
• the limiter switch and the domestic system can  
withstand the load from the appliance (see rating  
plate).  
• the supply system is efficiently earthed according to  
standards and laws in force.  
WARNING: THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED.  
The hob is designed to work with alternating current, the  
supply voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate  
(situated under the hob). Make sure that the local supply  
voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating  
plate.  
• the socket or double-pole switch are easily accessible  
when the appliance is installed.  
Connecting the supply cable to the mains electricity  
supply  
Important: the wires in the mains lead are coloured in  
accordance with the following code:  
For models supplied without a plug, fit a standard plug  
suitable for the load indicated on the rating plate, onto a  
cable and connect to a suitable socket.  
Green & Yellow  
Blue  
Brown  
- Earth  
- Neutral  
- Live  
To connect direct to the mains supply, a double pole switch  
with a contact separation of at least 3mm suitable for the  
load and complying with current standards and regulations  
must be fitted between the appliance and the mains supply  
outlet.  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not  
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals  
in your plug, proceed as follows:  
Connect the Green & Yellow wire to terminal marked “E” or  
or coloured Green or Green & Yellow.  
Connect the Brown wire to the terminal marked “L” or coloured  
Red or Brown.  
Connect the Blue wire to the terminal marked “N” or coloured  
Black or Blue.  
The green-yellow earth wire must not be interrupted by the  
switch.  
The supply cable must be positioned so that no part of it  
reaches a temperature of 50°C above room temperature.  
For installation above a built-under oven, the hob and the  
oven must be connected separately to the electricity supply,  
both for safetly reasons and for easy removal of the oven  
for repair, maintenance etc.  
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE ACCIDENT-  
PREVENTION REGULATIONS RELIEVES THE  
MANUFACTURER OF ALL LIABILITY.  
DO NOT use adapters as they could cause overheating or  
burning.  
Replacing the cable  
Use a rubber cable of the type H05RR-F with a suitable  
cross section 3 x 0.75 mm².  
The yellow-green earth wire must be 2-3 cm longer than  
the other wires.
