Overview

This document is an instruction manual for the JLBICH602 Ceramic Hob, manufactured by John Lewis. It provides comprehensive information on the appliance's operation, safety, installation, and maintenance.

Function Description:

The JLBICH602 is a ceramic hob designed for normal domestic cooking and frying of food. It features a Touch Control sensor panel for operation, allowing users to switch the appliance on/off, select cooking zones, and adjust heat settings. The hob is equipped with a child safety device to prevent unintentional use and a safety cut-out mechanism that automatically switches off cooking zones under certain conditions (e.g., no heat setting after 10 seconds, prolonged touching of sensor fields, or moisture on the control panel). It also includes a residual heat indicator to warn users about hot surfaces after the appliance has been switched off.

Important Technical Specifications:

The ceramic hob features four cooking zones with varying power outputs and diameters:

  • Front Left: Single cooking zone, 2300W, 210 mm diameter.
  • Rear Left: Single cooking zone, 1200W, 145 mm diameter.
  • Front Right: Single cooking zone, 1200W, 145 mm diameter.
  • Rear Right: Single cooking zone, 1800W, 180 mm diameter.

The appliance operates on a 230V-240V~ electrical supply at 50 Hz. The total power output is 6.5 kW. The electrical connection diagram specifies connections for PE (Protective Earth), N (Neutral), and L1 (Live). For installation, a mains cable of type H05BB-F Tmax 90° (or higher) is required. The appliance must be disconnected from the mains at all poles with a contact opening width of at least 3 mm.

Usage Features:

  • Touch Control Operation: The hob is operated by touching sensor fields on the control panel.
  • On/Off: Touch the "On/Off" sensor field for 2 seconds to switch on, and for 1 second to switch off.
  • Cooking Zone Selection: Touch the "+" sensor field to select a cooking zone; a decimal point will illuminate. A heat setting must be set within 6 seconds after selection.
  • Heat Setting Adjustment: Use the "+" sensor field to increase the heat setting (from 1 to 9) and the "-" sensor field to reduce it. To switch off a cooking zone, touch both "+" and "-" simultaneously, or reduce the setting to 0.
  • Child Safety Device:
    • Setting: Switch on the appliance (without setting a heat setting), then touch the "+" of the front right cooking zone and "-" at the same time. The display will show "L" and the appliance will switch off.
    • Overriding (single session): Switch on the appliance, then touch the "+" of the front right cooking zone and "-" at the same time. The display will show "L/H" (if hot) and then 4 flashing decimal points. The appliance can then be used normally until it is switched off.
    • Cancelling: Switch on the appliance, then touch the "+" of the front right cooking zone and "-" at the same time. The display will show "L/H" (if hot) and then 4 flashing decimal points. Finally, touch the "-" sensor field, and the appliance will switch off, with the child safety device cancelled.
  • Safety Cut-out: Cooking zones automatically switch off after a certain period if no heat setting is set or modified (e.g., 6 hours for settings 1-2, 1.5 hours for settings 6-9).
  • Cooking Tips:
    • Use cookware with thick, flat bottoms.
    • Match the size of the pan bottom to the cooking zone.
    • Place lids on pans to save energy.
    • Switch off cooking zones before the end of cooking time to utilize residual heat.
    • Avoid intensive browning of starchy foods to reduce acrylamide formation.
  • Examples of Cooking Applications: The manual provides a table with recommended heat settings and cook times for various tasks, including keeping food warm, melting, solidifying, simmering, steaming, boiling, gentle frying, and heavy frying.

Maintenance Features:

  • Cleaning and Care:
    • Always switch off and cool down the appliance before cleaning.
    • Do not use steam jet or high-pressure cleaning equipment.
    • Clean the appliance after each use with a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid, then dry with a clean cloth.
    • Avoid sharp objects and abrasive cleaning materials.
    • Remove residues from cleaning agents with water.
  • Removing Deposits:
    • Sugar, food containing sugar, plastics, tin foil: Remove immediately with a scraper.
    • Limescale, water rings, fat splashes, shiny metallic discolorations: Remove when the appliance has cooled down, using a scraper or cleaner for glass ceramic/stainless steel.
    • Stubborn residues can be removed with a specialized cleaner.
  • Troubleshooting: The manual includes a "Something not working..." section with common problems, possible causes, and remedies. For issues like "Er03" (multiple sensor fields touched), "Er21" (safety cut-out due to overheating), "Er25" (incorrect connection), or "Er40" (overvoltage protector activated), specific steps are provided. For other fault codes or persistent problems, users are advised to contact the local Service Force Centre.

Safety Information:

The manual emphasizes several safety instructions:

  • Installation and connection must be performed by trained, registered service engineers.
  • The appliance must be built into suitable units and work surfaces.
  • In case of faults or damage to the glass ceramic, switch off and disconnect from the electrical supply immediately.
  • Small children must be kept away; older children require adult supervision.
  • Do not use the appliance as a work or storage surface.
  • Do not place flammable liquids or fusible objects on or near the appliance.
  • Remove stickers and film from the glass ceramic before use.
  • Avoid cables from other electrical appliances touching hot surfaces.
  • Do not leave overheated fat or oil unattended.
  • Switch off cooking zones after each use.
  • Risk of burns from residual heat.
  • Risk of injury from electrical current; observe connection schematics and electrical safety rules.
  • Ensure anti-shock protection through correct installation.
  • Protect cut surfaces of the worktop against moisture.
  • Avoid installing near doors or windows where hot cookware could be knocked off.
