INSTALLATION

Installing a domestic appliance can be a complicated operation which if not carried out correctly, can seriously affect consumer safety. It is for this reason that the task should be undertaken by a professionally qualified person who will carry it out in accordance with the technical regulations in force. In the event that this advice is ignored and the installation is carried out by an unqualified person, the manufacturer declines all responsibility for any technical failure of the product whether or not it results in damage to goods or injury to individuals.

BUILT-IN

The furniture in which your hob will be installed and all adjacent furniture, should be made from materials that can withstand high temperatures. In addition, all decorative laminates should be fixed with heat-resistant glue.

Installation:

- A watertight seal is supplied with the hob.

Before fitting:

• turn the hob upside down, with the glass surface facing downwards.
  Make sure the glass is protected.
• fit the seal round the hob.
• make sure that it is correctly fitted to avoid any leakage into the supporting cabinet.
• It is important to fit the hob on a level supporting surface.
• Deformations caused by incorrect fitting can alter the specifications of the worktop and the performance of the hob.
• Leave a gap of at least 5 cm between the appliance and any neighbouring vertical surfaces.
• It is absolutely essential that the recess conforms with the dimensions indicated.
• 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 the Figure(1)

• You can not build the hob in above an oven with no fan, a dishwasher, fridge, freezer or washing machine.
• 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)

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

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

"The installation must conform to the standard directives." The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage that may be caused by unsuitable or unreasonable use.

Warning :

• Always check before any electrical operation, the supply tension shown on the electricity meter, the adjustment of the circuit-breaker, the continuity of the connection to earth to the installation and that the fuse is suitable.
• The electrical connection to the installation should be made via a socket with a plug with earth, or via an omnipole cut-out switch with an opening gap of at least 3 mm.
  If the appliance has a socket outlet, it must be installed so that the socket outlet is accessible.
• The yellow/green wire of the power supply cable must be connected to the earth of both power supply and appliance terminals.
• The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any accidents resulting from the use of an appliance which is not connected to earth, or with a faulty earth connection continuity.
• Any queries regarding the power supply cord should be referred to After Sales Service or a qualified technician.
• If the cable is damaged or to be replaced, the operation must be carried out the by sale agent with dedicated tools to avoid any accident.

INDUCTION

Pan which changes the inductions currents into HEAT Induction currents Vitroceramic top Control unit Coil

USE PROCEDURE

An electronic generator powers a coil located inside the appliance.

This coil creates a magnetic field, so that when the pan is placed on the hob, it is permeated by the induction currents.

These currents make the pan into a real heat transmitter, while the glass ceramic hob remains cold.

This system is designed for use with magnetic-bottomed pans.

Put simply, induction technology has two main advantages :

• as heat is emitted only by the pan, heat is maintained at its maximum level and cooking takes place without any heat loss.
• There is no thermal inertia, as cooking automatically starts when the pan is placed on the hob and stops when it is removed.

A HIGH SAFETY APPLIANCE

• Protection from over-Temperature

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

• 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
1~5	8 hours
6~10	4 hours
11~14	2 hours
15	1hours

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

REMIND:

The patient with a heart pacemaker shall use this product under the guidance of the doctor.

HOB COOKWARE ADVICE

Using good quality cookware is critical for setting the best performance from your hob.

Three identical illustrations of a cooking pot with crossed-out handles, no text or symbols present

• Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and thick bases: using this type of cookware will prevent hot spots that cause food to stick. Thick metal pots and pans will provide an even distribution of heat.
• Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry: when filling pans with liquid or using one that has been stored in the refrigerator, ensure that the base of the pan is completely dry before placing it on the hob. This will help to avoid staining the hob.
• Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob.

The following information will help you select the pans best adapted to obtain good results.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before carrying out any maintenance work on the hob, allow it to cool down.
• Only products, (creams and scrapers) specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces should be used. They are obtainable from hardware stores.
• Avoid spillages, as anything which falls on to the hob surface will quickly burn and will make cleaning more difficult.
• It is advisable to keep away from the hob all substances which are liable to melt, such as plastic items, sugar, or sugar-based products.

MAINTENANCE:

• Place a few drops of the specialised cleaning product on the hob surface.
• Rub any stubborn stains with a soft cloth or with slightly damp kitchen paper.
• Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.

If there are still some stubborn stains:

• Place a few more drops of specialised cleaning fluid on the surface.
• Scrape with a scraper, holding it at an angle of 30^ to the hob, until the stains disappear.
• Wipe with a soft cloth or dry kitchen paper until the surface is clean.
• Repeat the operation if necessary.

A FEW HINTS:

Frequent cleaning leaves a protective layer which is essential to prevent scratches and wear. Make sure that the surface is clean before using the hob again. To remove marks left by water, use a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Then wipe with absorbent paper and a few drops of specialised cleaning fluid. The glass ceramic surface will withstand scraping from flat-bottomed cooking vessels, however, it is always better to lift them when moving them from one zone to another.

NB:

30° Maxi

Do not use a sponge which is too wet.

Never use a knife or a screwdriver.

A scraper with a razor blade will not damage the surface, as long as it is kept at an angle of 30^ .

Never leave a scraper with a razor blade within the reach of children.

Never use abrasive products or scouring powders.
