• Always switch the cooking zones off after use!

- The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are for a specialized installer and are a guide for the installation process, regulations and maintenance in accordance with the law and current standards.

If the built-in oven or any other appliances that produce heat, need to be installed directly underneath the cooking hobs in ceramic glass, IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE APPLIANCE (oven) AND THE COOKING HOBS IN CERAMIC GLASS ARE ADEQUATELY ISOLATED, in such a way that the heat generated from the oven, measured on the right hand side of the bottom of the cooking hobs, does not exceed 60°C.

Failure to follow this precaution, could cause a malfunction in the TOUCH CONTROL system.

POSITIONING

The domestic appliance was built in order to be encased on a work surface, the way it is illustrated in the graph (Fig.1). Predispose sealing material (Fig.4) along the whole perimeter (for dimensions of the cut see Fig.1). Lock the domestic appliance into place with 4 supporters, keeping in mind the width of the surface (Fig.2).

If the lower part of the appliance after installation, is accessible via the lower part of the furniture, it is necessary to mount a separating panel keeping in mind the distances indicated (Fig.3). This is not necessary if underneath the induction hob is installed an oven.

The distance between the cooktop and built-in kitchen's furniture or cooking apparatuses must guarantee sufficient ventilation of the air. Not to use the cooktop if in the oven is in course the pyrolysis process.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Fig.5)

Before making the electrical connections, check that:

• the system ratings meet the ratings indicated on the identification plate fixed on the lower part of the worktop;
• the system is fitted with efficient ground wires in accordance with the laws and current standards.

Grounding is mandatory by law. If the domestic appliance is not supplied with a cable and/or suitable plug, use material suitable for the absorption value indicated on the identification plate and the operating temperature. If wishing to make a direct connection to the mains, an omnipolar switch must be installed with a minimum 3 mm opening between the contacts and appropriate for the load indicated on the plate and in accordance with current standards (the yellow/green ground conductor must not be disconnected by a switch). When the appliance has been installed, the omnipolar switch must be easily reachable.

INDUCTION COOKING

The fundamental characteristic of the induction system is the direct transference of heat from the generator to the cooking recipient.

Advantages:

• The transference of power takes place only when the recipient is placed on the cooking zone.
• The heat is generated only at the base of the recipient and transferred directly to the food to be cooked.
• Reduced heating time and low consumption of power during the beginning of cooking, allowing a global saving of power.
• The fibreglass top remains cold, the heat felt on the cooking top is that reflected from the base of the recipient.

COOKING RECIPIENTS

The use of appropriate recipients is an essential factor for induction cooking. Check that your pots are suitable for the induction system. The recipients must contain iron. You can check whether the material of the pot is magnetic with a simple magnet (Fig.6).

We advise recipients having a flat base (Fig.7A). This way you can use the power optimally.

Do not use recipients with a rough base to avoid scratching the thermal surface of the top. A very important factor in induction cooking is the dimension of the pot compared to the plate used (Fig.7B).

The cooking zones allow the use of recipients with bases of various diameters. It is, however, preferable to use the appropriate cooking zone for the dimension of the pot.

COOKING ZONE DIAMETER	MINIMUM PAN DIAMETER
145 mm 80 mm
210 mm 130 mm

The power of the single cooking zone can be adjusted in 9 different positions and will be shown on luminous display B with a number from "1 to 9".

POT DETECTION «U»

If the symbol «» should appear on one of the cooking area displays, it means that:

1) The recipient being used is not suitable for induction cooking.
2) The diameter of the recipient used is inferior to that allowed by the appliance.
3) No recipient is present.

RESIDUAL HEAT

If the temperature of the cooking area is still high (over 50^ ) after it has been switched off, the relative display will indicate the ⚫ symbol (residual heat). The symbol will only switch off when the burn risk in no longer present.

QUICK HEATING/POWER BOOST «P»

This function further reduces cooking time in a given area taking the temperature to the maximum power for a 10 minute interval. At the end of this interval, the cooking area power automatically returns to level 9.

The use of this function is recommended for heating a large quantity of liquid in a very short time (i.e. water for cooking pasta) or other dishes. To activate this function, select the cooking area and press the key up to level 9. Press the key again. An acoustic signal will be emitted and a symbol «P» will be visualised on the display E relative to the area.

The appliance has a safety switch that automatically switches off the cooking zones when they have been operating for a certain amount of time at a given power level.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Remove any residues of food and drops of grease from the cooking surface by using the special scraper supplied on request (Fig.9).

Clean the heated area as thoroughly as possible using suitable products, and a cloth/paper, then rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth. Using the special scraper immediately remove any fragments of aluminium and plastic material that have unintentionally melted on the heated cooking area, or residues of sugar or food with a high sugar content.

In this way, any damage to the cooktop surface can be prevented. Under no circumstances should abrasive sponges, or corrosive chemical detergents, such as oven sprays or stain removers, be used.

WARNING:

STEAM CLEANERS MUST NOT BE USED.

DISPOSAL OF OLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed-out dustbin symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation regarding separated waste collection.

Consumers should contact their local public service or their local dealer for more information on the correct disposal of exhausted household appliances.

THE MANUFACTURER DECLINES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR EVENTUAL DAMAGES CAUSED BY BREAKING THE ABOVE WARNINGS. THE WARRANTY IS NOT VALID IN THE CASE OF DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVEMENTIONED WARNINGS.

POWER MANAGEMENT

The default cooktop maximum power limit is 7200W. This power limit can be reduced by the user to 2800W, 3500W or 6000W.

Each time the user tries to increase the power of a cooking zone, the total power level of the cooktop is calculated. If this total power lever is greater than the cooktop maximum power limit, the power increase of the cooking zone is not allowed. An error beep sounds and the cooking zone display shows an 'r' for 3 seconds.
