USER MANUAL CIE3640X CANDY

CIE363

Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing the CANDY induction hob. We hope it will give you many years of good service.

Please read this instruction manual carefully before using the hob and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Product Introduction

The induction hob caters for all kinds of cooking, with electromagnetic cooking zones, micro-computerised controls and multi-functions, making it ideal for today's family.

Manufactured with specially imported materials, the induction hob is extremely user-friendly, durable and safe.

Working Principle

The induction hob comprises a coil, a hotplate made of ferromagnetic material and a control system. Electrical current generates a powerful magnetic field through the coil. This produces a large number of vortices which in turn generate heat which is then transmitted through the cooking zone to the cooking vessel.

Safety

This hob was specially designed for domestic use.

In its constant search to improve its products, CANDY reserves the right to modify any technical, programme or aesthetic aspects of the appliance at any time.

● Protection from over-heating

A sensor monitors the temperature in the cooking zones. When the temperature exceeds a safe level, the cooking zone is automatically switched off.

- Detection of small or non-magnetic items

When a pan with a diameter of less than 80mm, or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) or a non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium) has been left on the hob, a buzzer sounds for approximately one minute, after which the hob goes automatically on to standby.

Residual heat warning

When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter "H" appears to warn you to keep away from it.

Auto shutdown

Another safety feature of the induction hob is auto shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:

Power level	The heating zone shut down automatically after
1~3	8 hours
4~6	4 hours
7~9	2 hours

When the pan is removed from the cooking zone, it stops heating immediately and switches itself off after the buzzer has sounded for one minute.

Warning: Anyone who has been fitted with a heart pacemaker should consult a doctor before using the induction hotplate.

Installation

1. Cut a hole in the worktop of the dimension shown in the diagram below. A minimum of 50 mm space should be left around the hole. The worktop should be at least 30 mm thick and made of heat-resistant material.

As shown in Figure (1)

Figure (1)

1. It is essential that the induction hob is well ventilated and that the air intake and exit are not blocked.

Make sure the hob is correctly installed as shown in Figure 2.

Figure (2)

NB: For safety, the gap between the hob and any cupboard above it should be at least 760 mm.

1. Fix the hob to the worktop using the four brackets on the base of the hob. The position of the brackets can be adjusted according to the thickness of the top.

Warnings:

(1) The induction hob must be installed by a properly qualified person. We have our own qualified installers. Never try to install the appliance yourself. (2) The induction hob must not be installed above refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers or tumble dryers. (3) The induction hob should be installed so that optimum radiation of heat is possible. (4) The wall and the area above the hob should be able to withstand heat. (5) To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive should be heat-resistant.

4. Connection to power supply

The socket should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, to a single-pole circuit breaker. The method of connection is shown in Figure 3.

Voltage&frequency	Wire connection
400V 2-N 50/60Hz	1 2 L1 L2 Brown Black	3 4 N	5 I - Yellow/Green
220-240V 50/60Hz	1 2 L Brown&Black	3 4 N Gray&Blue	5 I - Yellow/Green

Figure (3)

If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, this should be done by an after-sales technician using the proper tools, so as to avoid any accidents.

If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply, an omnipolar circuit breaker must be installed with a minimum gap of 3 mm between the contacts.

The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it complies with safety regulations.

The cable must not be bent or compressed.

The cable must be checked regularly and only replaced by a properly qualified person.

Instructions for Use

Preparation before using:

When the power is switched on, the buzzer will sound once and all the indicators will come on for one second and then go out. The hob is now in standby mode.

Place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

Operating instructions

When the ON/OFF key is pressed, all the indicators show "-". Select the power level by pressing the "+" or "-" key for the relevant hotplate. To begin with the indicator shows "5". Adjust up or down by pressing the "+" or "-" key. If you press the "+" and "-" keys simultaneously, the power setting returns to "0", and the cooking zone switches off.

See the table on Page 6 for the power specific to each cooking zone.

NB: When the ON/OFF key is pressed, the induction hob returns to standby mode if no other operation is carried out within one minute.

Boost mode

To heat up more quickly, press "BOOST" after selecting the cooking zone, with the power level indicator showing "P".

NB:

1. The boost function only operates for 5 minutes, after which the cooking zone returns to its original setting.
2. The boost function works on all cooking zones.

When the boost function of the 1st cooking zone is activated, the 2nd cooking zone is automatically limited to level 2, and vice versa. When the boost function of the 3rd cooking zone is activated, the 4th cooking zone is automatically limited to level 2, and vice versa.

Cancelling the "BOOST" mode

When in "Boost" mode, select the corresponding cooking zone and press the "Boost" key or the "-" key to cancel Boost mode. The cooking zone will then revert to its original setting.

Timing function

Press the "+" or "-" key of that zone; the corresponding indicator will flash. To activate the timer function, press the "+" or "-" of the timer key. The set time is between 1 and 99 minutes. Pressing the "+" of the timer key once increases the time by one minute. Keeping the "+" of the timer key pressed will increase the time by 10 minutes. If the set time exceeds 99 minutes, it will automatically return to "0" minutes. The same logic applies to the "-" key.

Timing confirmation

1. Pressing the "+" or "-" of the timer key allows the time to be set.
2. When the timing indicator has been flashing for 5 seconds, the set time will be automatically confirmed.

Timer cancellation

If the "-" and "+" keys are pressed simultaneously, the indicator will display "0" and the timer will be cancelled.

Safety mode

To ensure the safety of children, the induction hob is fitted with an interlock device.

To lock: hold down the "Interlock" key; the hob then goes into "Interlock" mode, the timer shows "Lo" and the rest of the keys are disabled except the "ON/OFF" key.

Unlocking

Hold down the "Interlock" key for 3 seconds and the hob will return to normal working.

The maximum power of cooking zones is as follows:

Heating zone	CIE4630B3 CIE4630B		CIE3640B3 CIE3640X		CIE3637B CIE363
	Normal	Boost	Normal	Boost	Normal	Boost
1	1200	1500	1200	1500	1200	1500
2	2300	3000	2300	2600	2300	2600
3	1200	1500	3000	4000	3000	3700
4	2300	3000	----	----	----	----

The above may vary according to the size of the pan and the material it is made from.

Selection of cooking vessels

Iron oil frying pan, stainless steel pot, iron pan

Iron kettle

Enamel cooking utensil

Iron plate

You may have a number of different cooking vessels.

1. This induction hob can identify a variety of cooking vessels, which you can test by one of the following methods: Place the vessel on the cooking zone. If the corresponding cooking zone displays a power level, then the vessel is suitable. If "II" flashes, then the vessel is not suitable for use with the induction hob.

2. Hold a magnet to the vessel. If the magnet is attracted to the vessel, it is suitable for use with the induction hob.

NB: The base of the vessel must contain magnetic material.

It must have a flat bottom with a diameter of more than 14 cm.

3 Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected.

Using a pot slightly wider will use energy at its maximum efficiency. If you use a smaller pot, efficiency could be less than expected. Pots less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob.

Safety Reminders and Maintenance:

A dedicated power protection air switch must be used.

For indoor use only.
