IMPORTANT: After use, switch the cooking top off with the command device.

IMPORTANT:

• Avoid spilling liquid, therefore to boil or heat liquids, reduce the heat.
• Please ensure when the appliance is turned on, that there are no empty pots left on top.
• When you have finished cooking, switch off the relevant heating element with the command indicated below.

WARNING

If the surface of the hob is cracked, turn off the appliance and disconnect from the electrical main in order to avoid any possible electric shocks.

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^ .

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.2) 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.4). 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.

VENTILATION

the distance between the cooktop and built-in kitchen's furnitures 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 ground wire is 2cm longer than the other cables;

• 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.

USE

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 fiberglass 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:

• if pot diameter is 160~mm , the Pot.detection. is 90 mm and the Pot.max is 180 mm;
• if pot diameter is 200mm the Pot.detection is 120mm , and Pot. max. 210mm .
