Control panel locking.

Ventilation

The cooling system is fully automatic, the cooling fan starts at a slow speed and increases when the hob is used intensively or for long periods of time.

The cooling fan reduces its speed and stops automatically as the hob cools down.

USING THE HOB

Before first use

Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent as this causes blue tinting on the glass surface.

Induction principle

An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.

Of course, the pan has to be magnetic:

• All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify with a magnet): cast iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms.
• Excluded pans are copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware.

The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. If the diameter is too small the pan does not work. If the pan is not suitable for the induction hob the display will show [] .

Sensitive touch

Your ceramic hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is confirmed by a control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a "beep" sound.

For normal use, press only one key at a time.

Installation

How to fit the gasket:

The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet. His installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.

Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from the external edge of the glass, after removing the protection sheet (3).

Fitting - installing:

• Cut a hole in the worktop of the dimension shown in the diagram below. Ensure that there is a distance of 50~mm between the hob and the wall or sides. The worktop should be at least 30~mm thick and of heat-resistant material.

• The hobs are classified as "Y" class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than the hob.
• The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist temperatures of up to 100^ .
• The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
• Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
• To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 ~mm to ensure a good air circulation of the electronic device.

• Warning: The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a distance minimum of 760~mm .
• If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects (for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.
• Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect the cut-out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with smooth work top surfaces.
