Ventilation

The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts his high speed when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.

STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT

Before the first use

Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing blue-tinted colour 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 adapted :

• All ferromagnetics pans are recommended (please verify it thanks a little magnet): cast iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms...
• Are excluded: cupper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware,...

The induction heating zone adapts automatically the size of the pan. With a too small diameter the pans doesn't work. This diameter is varying in function of the heating zone diameter. If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [U].

Starting-up

To turn off the hob press first the [ ] key, then the heating zone [ + ] :

- Start-up/ switch off the hob :

Action	Control panel	Display	Control light
To start :	touch the key [ I ]	[ 0 ]	switch on blinking

Increase power	touch key [ + ]	[ 1 ] to [ 9 ]
Decrease power	touch key [ - ]	[ 9 ] to [ 1 ]
Stop	simultaneous [ + ] & [ - ]	[ 0 ] or [ H ]

If no action is made within 20 second electronics returns in waiting position.

Pan detection

The pan detection ensures a perfect safety. The induction doesn't work :

• If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not adapted to the induction. In this case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [] . This symbol disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone.
• If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows [U]. The symbol [U] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The cooking continues with the power level setted before.

Residual heat indication

After the switch off of a heating zone or the complete stop of the hob, the heating zones are still hot and indicates [H] on the display.

The symbol [H] disappears when the heating zones may be touched without danger.

As far as the residual heat indicators are on light, don't touch the heating zones and don't put any heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.

The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.

The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforce in his home country.

How to stick the gasket:

The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.

His installation has to be done carelessly, 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:

The cut out sizes are:

-TI61H

560x490mm

-TI61A 560x490mm
-TI83H 760x340mm

• 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.
• 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.
• Ensure that there is a distance of 50~mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
• 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.
• 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 20mm to ensure a good air circulation of the electronic device.
• To guarantee between the work top and the top of the drawer or oven a space of 5mm to allow the exit of the air flow.
• If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects (for example : sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.
• 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 .
• The connection cord should be subjected, after bulting, with no mechanical constraint, such for example of the fact of the drawer.

• The installation of the hob in non stationary sites ( for example : boat ) should be undertaken by specialists.

• The installation of this appliance and the connection to the electrical network should be entrusted only to an electrician perfectly to the fact of the normative regulations and which respects them scrupulously.
  Protection against the parts under tension must be ensured after the bulting-in.

• The data of connection necessary are on the stickers place on the hob casing near the connection box.
• The connection to the main must be made using an earthed plug or via an omnipolar circuit breaking device with a contact opening of at least 3mm .
• The electrical circuit must be separated from the network by adapted devices, for example: circuit breakers, fuses or contactors.

Caution!

Connect always the earth wire.
