The MONSHER MHE 33 is supplied with 4 pieces of feet packed as accessories. To assemble them:

Step 1. Locate the 4 feet provided in the accessory package.

Step 2. Screw the feet into the 4 reserved holes located at the corners of the metal base of the hob.

The work surface must be at least 30mm thick and made of heat-resistant material. A minimum space of 5 cm must be preserved around the cut-out hole. The following dimensions apply to the installation of the MONSHER MHE 33:

Additionally, the safety distance between the hotplate and any cupboard above it should be at least 760mm. The air intake (D) must be provided, and an air exit (E) of 5mm is required for ventilation.

Before inserting the hob into the worktop, the supplied foam gasket must be attached to the lower side of the ceramic glass. Do not install the hob without this gasket.

Step 1. Remove the protective film from the gasket.

Step 2. Attach the gasket to the lower side of the glass, placing it close to the edge.

Step 3. Ensure the gasket is attached along the entire length of the glass edge without overlapping at the corners.

Step 4. Ensure the glass does not come into contact with sharp objects during installation.

Step 1. After connecting the power, press and hold the ON/OFF control button for about 3 seconds until you hear a beep. The hob enters Standby mode, and all indicators will show “-“.

Step 2. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone you wish to use, ensuring both the pan bottom and the hob surface are clean and dry.

Step 3. Touch the cooking zone selection control button to activate the desired zone. The indicator will flash.

Step 4. Adjust the heat setting by touching the “+” or “-” buttons. The power level can be adjusted from 0 to 9, with 5 being the default setting.

Step 5. To turn off a specific zone, adjust its heat setting to 0. To turn off the entire hob, touch the ON/OFF control button.

The Child Lock prevents unintended use by locking the controls. When active, all touch controls except the ON/OFF button are disabled.

To lock the controls: Touch the Child Lock control button once. The timer indicator will show “Lo”, indicating the function is active.

To unlock the controls: Ensure the hob is turned on. Touch and hold the Child Lock control button for 3 seconds. The buzzer will beep, and “Lo” will disappear from the display, indicating the hob is unlocked.

The Stop and Go function allows you to pause all active cooking zones at once. This is useful if you are interrupted while cooking.

To activate: Press the Stop and Go function button once. All heat setting indicators will show “P”, and the hob will stop heating while holding your settings.

To deactivate: Press the button again. All settings will return to their previous states, and the “P” will disappear.

Note: The hob will automatically turn off if the Stop and Go function lasts for more than 10 minutes.

The minute minder can be used if you have not selected any specific cooking zone. It will not turn the cooking zones off when the time is up.

Step 1. Touch the timer control button; the timer indicator will start flashing.

Step 2. Adjust the time by touching the “+” or “-” buttons. The value can be set up to 99 minutes. If you press and hold either button, the value will adjust rapidly.

Step 3. When the time is set, it will begin to count down immediately. The display will show the remaining time.

Step 4. Once the time has finished, the buzzer will beep for 30 seconds and the indicator will show “- -“. Touch any control to stop the beeping.

After the hob has been operating for some time, there will be residual heat. The letter “H” appears in the power setting indicator to warn you that the surface is still hot and you should keep away from it. This can also be used as an energy-saving function; if you want to heat more pans, you can use the hotplate that is still hot.

The MONSHER MHE 33 features an auto-shutdown safety function that triggers if a cooking zone is forgotten. The default working times before shutdown depend on the power level:

The following power levels are suggested for various tasks on the MONSHER MHE 33:

Always disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and ensure it is completely cool before cleaning. Use a soft cloth or kitchen paper to clean the surface. For dried-on spillages, use a specialist vitro-ceramic glass cleaner.

For everyday soiling (fingerprints, marks, stains):

1. Switch off the power supply.

2. Apply cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot).

3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.

4. Switch the power back on.

Important: Do not use abrasive cleaners or wire wool as they may scratch the ceramic glass surface. Never leave cleaning residue on the glass as it may cause permanent staining.

Sugary spillovers (jellies, syrups, candy) or melted plastics must be removed immediately to avoid permanent damage or pitting of the glass surface.

Step 1. Switch off the power supply.

Step 2. Use a fish slice, palette knife, or a razor blade scraper suitable for ceramic glass. Hold it at a 30 degree angle and scrape the spill to a cool area of the hob.

Step 3. Clean the residue up with a dish cloth or paper towel.

Step 4. Follow standard cleaning steps for everyday soiling once the area has cooled.

If you encounter issues, perform the following checks before seeking professional maintenance:

1. If there is no power: Check if there is a general power cut and ensure the appliance is connected to the electricity properly. Check if the timer has elapsed or if auto shut-off has been triggered.

2. If touch controls are unresponsive: Check if the Child Lock is active (indicated by “Lo” on the display). Check if there is liquid or a wet cloth over the control panel activating overflow protection.

3. If the glass is scratched: Ensure you are using suitable cookware with smooth bases and are not using abrasive cleaning products or scourers.

4. If the heating element turns on and off: This is a normal feature for ceramic hobs to control power levels and prevent overheating.

If an abnormality occurs, the hob may display protective codes:

For any other error codes, switch off the appliance and call for service.
