Care of Your Hob  
Introduction  
Your Belling Thank you for purchasing a new Belling electric built-in hob. Its stylish  
Hob  
and practical design will enhance your kitchen and make cooking a  
pleasure. Even if you have used an electric hob before, it is important that  
you read these instructions thoroughly before starting to cook, paying  
particular attention to the installation and safety instructions.  
In the interests of both safety and hygiene your Belling hob needs  
to be kept clean. A build-up of grease or fat from cooking may  
cause a fire hazard.  
WARNING! For your own safety, always switch off your hob at  
the mains supply before cleaning.  
Getting Help If you have any problems with installing, operating, or cooking with your  
Belling hob, please check through these instructions thoroughly to make  
sure that you have not missed anything. If you still need help, then please  
contact (including a daytime telephone number if possible):  
Ceramic Hob  
WARNING! If any crack should appear on the hob, isolate the  
cooker from the mains supply. Do not use any part of the  
cooker but contact your Belling Service Agent.  
Customer Care Centre  
Stoney Lane,  
Prescot,  
Merseyside,

The ceramic hob is very hard wearing and with normal care should  
remain in good condition. However, it is important that any spillage  
is dealt with before the hob is used again, otherwise it will become  
baked on.  
Belling Customer Care Centre Helpline: 0844 815 3746  
Once the hob has cooled, remove any heavy spillage or soiling  
with a metal spatula or scraper, the hob surface should then be  
cleaned using a proprietary Ceramic Hob Cleaner and Conditioner  
on a damp cloth to remove any marks. Wipe off the residue of the  
cleaner with a soft damp cloth and polish the hob with a soft lint-  
free cloth. It is important that the hob is cleaned regularly with  
Ceramic Hob Cleaner & Conditioner as it provides a protective film  
to keep the hob in good condition and assists in keeping the hob  
clean.  
Please quote the appliance model and serial number with all enquiries.  
This can be found on the rating plate on the underside of the appliance.  
WARNING! For your own safety, make sure that these instructions  
on installation, use and maintenance are followed.  
We advise you to keep these instructions in a safe place for future  
reference.  
If you sell or transfer ownership of this product, please pass on these  
instructions to the new owner.  
Whilst it is recommended that normal cleaning is carried out when  
the hob has cooled, if jam, fruit or anything with a high sugar  
content is spilled on the hob, or plastic or aluminium is melted onto  
the hob, clean it off immediately, as damage to the hob can result.  
Switch off the hob and use a metal spatula, palette knife or scraper  
to remove the spillage. TAKE CARE, as the spillage and the hob  
may be very hot. When the hob has cooled, clean as usual with  
Ceramic Hob Cleaner & Conditioner.  
Unpacking  
Examine your hob for any damage, particularly the hob glass. Make sure  
there are no chips or cracks.  
If there is any damage to the hob or there is anything missing, please  
contact your supplier for advice. If the hob glass is cracked the appliance  
must not be connected to the supply, and no part of it may be used.  
Locating  
the hob  
The hob can be fitted into any 600mm (24”) deep work top with a thickness  
of between 30 and 40mm (11/4 to 15/8”). The surface around the hob must  
be of a heat resistant material.  
The work top and its support must be strong enough to carry the weight of  
the hob plus full cooking pans.  
Do not use scouring powders or paste, wire wool scouring pads, or  
oven cleaners on the hob as these can cause damage to the hob  
surface.  
The hob is a class X appliance, as such adjacent walls which project above  
hob level must not be nearer to the hob than 150mm and should be  
protected by heat resistant material. Any overhanging surface or cooker  
hood should not be nearer than 650mm.  
We do not recommend positioning the hob below wall cupboards as heat  
and steam from cooking may cause damage to the cupboard and its  
contents.  
Note: the pictures shown in the figures in this handbook are purely  
indicative.

Installing your hob  
Boost Function  
Before cutting the work top, make sure that there is enough space  
underneath to accept the hob, and that there are no supports or projections  
which might interfere with fitting the hob.  
The hob features a boost facility which enables pans to be brought up to temperature  
quickly with maximum power, before dropping to a lower energy setting automatically. It is  
activated as follows,  
Cut the aperture in the work top to the dimensions shown in the relevant  
diagram below, taking care that it refers to your hob. The cut edges of the  
aperture should be sealed with paint or varnish to prevent any ingress of  
moisture.  
To Activate  
Boost Function  
1.  
Switch on hob, as described previously.  
Touch pad repeatedly until 9. appears.  
The dot indicates that the boost function is activated.  
2.  
Touch pad  
to reduce energy level to desired cooking  
energy level. It can be noted that the dot continues to be  
illuminated.  
If an energy level less than 6 is selected, the boost function assumes a saucepan of liquid  
is to be simmered, so stays on full power for up to 7 minutes (dependant on setting) to bring  
the fluid to the boil quickly. If an energy level above and including 6 is selected, the boost  
function operates for less time, as if only a frying pan was being heated. As a guide, when  
energy level 7 or 8 is selected the boost function will run for around 3 minutes.  
If no lower energy level is selected, the hob will resume normal operation, indicated by the  
dot switching off.  
The table below should serve as an indication for suitable cooking energy levels.

Installing your hob  
Safety Features  
Connecting the hob The connection to the electrical supply must be made before fitting  
the hob in the work top.  
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  
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.  
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.  
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED!  
Touch the pad marked  
for 2 seconds to remove lock  
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 double-pole control unit having a  
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.  
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.  
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:  
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.

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  
seal.  
Note that the clamps are  
reversible to suit either  
30mm or 40mm thick  
worktop.

Timer Operation  
Installing your hob  
Your hob has a timer built in which can either be used to automatically switch off  
a cooking zone after a pre set period of time, or as an alarm reminder. The timer  
features a maximum duration of 99 minutes.  
Belling built-under  
single oven unit or  
double oven unit  
The hob can be fitted above a Belling built-under single or double  
oven unit if required.

Using A Ceramic Hob  
Using A Ceramic Hob  
WARNING: Extreme caution should be taken to avoid steam burns and hot surfaces  
when cleaning up spillage on the hot hob surface.  
Before using the hob for the first time, clean the hob surface with a  
Ceramic Hob Cleaner and Conditioner. This applies a thin  
protective film to the hob, making it easier to clean and prolong its  
life  
1.  
Always clean up any spillage immediately with a clean cloth or a paper towel to  
avoid unnecessary damage to the hob.  
2.  
When cooking food which contains sugar (most food) or syrup, use a utensil  
which is large enough to prevent boil over or spillage. Sugar spillage will  
permanently damage the hob and therefore should be cleaned off with  
care immediately. If sugar spillage has occurred, remove it as long as it is still  
hot with a metal handled razor-blade scraper commercially available. This will  
avoid any damage.  
All models feature a hob hot warning system. It will activate when  
any hob element is switched on and stay on after use, until the hob  
cooking zones cool to below a safe temperature, around 60ºC.  
WARNING! If the power supply is interrupted, the hob hot  
warning will not operate upon resumption of power.  
NEVER LET IT COOL BEFORE REMOVING.  
Your new hob has 4 fastlite elements:  
Always ensure that the base of the utensil is dry before placing on the ceramic hob.  
Back Left 1.2kW  
Front Left 1.8kW  
Back Right 2.0kW  
Front Right 1.5kW  
REMEMBER  
1.  
2.  
Purchasing a new pan will not necessarily mean it will have  
a flat base, always check before buying.  
Using the correct pans and utensils will result in maximum  
contact with the hob and maximum efficiency as with any  
type of electric hob.  
Lower rated elements (1.2kW) are better suited to smaller sized  
pans, while larger rated elements (2.0kW) are better suited to  
larger sized pans.

Using A Ceramic Hob – General Information  
Using A Ceramic Hob - Safety  
WARNING!  
If any crack should appear on the hob, isolate the hob  
immediately from the mains supply. Do not use any part of the  
hob but contact your Belling Service Agent.  
NEVER  
Never cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking utensil as  
this will result in damage to the surface of the hob.  
Never use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may occur to  
the smooth sides of the hob.  
The ceramic hob elements are fitted with special controls to  
regulate the element temperatures and to prevent overheating. The  
elements will be seen to switch on and off during use as the  
temperature is maintained automatically. This cycling effect is  
perfectly normal, and is part of the designed operation of the  
elements and controls. A slight hum may be heard from the  
elements while they are in use.  
Never drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this will cause  
scratches in the surface of the hob.  
Never place anything between the base of the utensil and the  
ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos mats, aluminium or wok  
stands.  
Never leave any utensils, food or combustible items on the hob  
when it is not in use.  
Never place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic containers on the  
hob.  
Never leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched ON unless  
they are being used.  
Although the heating elements are fitted with safety cut-outs to  
prevent overheating, it is important that the elements are not  
operated for any length of time without a pan on the hob, as  
overheating can still occur and may cause damage.  
Whilst it is recommended that normal cleaning is carried out when  
the hob has cooled, if jam, fruit or anything with a high sugar  
content is spilled on the hob, or plastic or aluminium is melted onto  
the hob, clean it off immediately, as damage to the hob can result.  
(See ‘Care of your hob’ on page 16)  
We recommend not to place large preserving pans or fish kettles  
across two heated areas.  
Never leave utensils partly covering the heated areas. Always  
ensure that they are placed centrally over the heated areas and  
have the same diameter as the heated area used.  
Safety requirements IMPORTANT – As with any cooking appliance there could be some  
for deep fat frying  
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  
zones. To minimise the risks inherent with deep fat frying, we  
recommend the following;  
We recommend not to use a utensil with a base diameter greater  
than 25cm (10”).  
ALWAYS  
Always use good quality smooth flat based utensils.  
Always use a utensil which has approximately the same base area  
as the heating area zone being used.  
Always use utensils which have more than sufficient capacity for  
the amount of food being cooked to prevent boil over or spillage.  
Always use utensils with good fitting lids.  
Always use a low dome pressure cooker for best results.  
saucepans with smooth flat bases. Aluminium pans with coloured  
vitreous enamelled bases absorb heat and are therefore more  
efficient in use. Almost equally as good are saucepans with a thick  
machined aluminium base. If using enamelled steel or cast iron  
pans, ensure that they have good  
1.  
Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the  
appropriate heating area.  
2.  
3.  
Never fill the pan more than one-third full of fat or oil.  
Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or  
cooking period.  
4.  
Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially frozen  
food.  
This only lowers the temperature of the oil or fat too much,  
resulting in greasy food.  
5.  
Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it  
slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular, will  
cause frothing and spitting, if added too quickly.  
Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.  
Keep the outside of the pan, clean and free from streaks of  
oil or fat.  
smooth flat bases as otherwise the heat will not be distributed  
evenly and damaging heat spots may be created.  
6.  
7.  
Never use recessed or ridged base utensils. Ideally the base of  
saucepan should be approximately the same size as the heating  
area, up to a maximum of 254mm (10").  
In the unfortunate  
event of a chip

safe to do so.  
3.  
Leave the pan to cool for at least 60 minutes before  
moving.  
If you cannot control the fire, close the kitchen door,  
evacuate the house and call the fire brigade. Do not go  
back into the house until you have been told it is safe to do  
so. Burns and injuries are almost invariably caused by  
picking up the burning pan and rushing outside with it.
