• Do not leave the appliance exposed to weathering (rain, sunlight).

• Do not subject it to rough handling.

In case of a breakdown or malfunctioning of the appliance, disconnect it at once. Do not attempt to repair it, but take it to a service centre approved by the manufacturer. If you decide you do not want to use this appliance any longer, disable it by cutting the power cable - of course, after disconnecting it from the socket.

The power cable should be extended to its full lenght to avoid overheating.

If the power cable gets damaged, it has to be replaced only at a service centre approved by the manufacturer.

For safety reasons, the appliance should never be opened.

If the surface of the hob should be broken or damaged, turn off the appliance and disconnect it from the mains to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

The appliance has been designed and manufactured to operate in the home. Any other use is considered inappropriate and dangerous. Do not use the appliance out of doors.

Do not place the appliance on unsuitable or non heat resistant surfaces.

To prevent children from accidentally touching hot components, use the hot plate on surfaces that are at least 85~cm high.

The accessible surfaces of the appliance may be hot when it is operating.

Surfaces are subject to becoming very hot during use.

Attention: the surfaces temperature could be elevated when the appliance is on.

The appliance must not be operated with an external timer or a separate remote control system.

This appliance has the ability to recognize small objects on the cooker plate without heating them; however, do not leave metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons or watches on the cooker plate because they may become hot and damaged.

Do not cover or block the air entry or air vents in any way to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

Make sure that the appliance is at least 10cm away from all walls when in use.

The appliance may not indicate that it is turned off if it is operating at maximum power or temperature and the pan is removed for a brief instant. This is normal and not a malfunction.

Although the appliance can cook food without liquid, this method may cause the pan to deform if the bottom is too thin.

Make sure that the cooker plate has completely cooled down before putting the appliance back in its box.

Warning!

If the user or anyone in close proximity has a pacemaker or other active medical implants, please consult a doctor before use to determine any possible incompatibility and prevent any risk to health.

This product has been manufactured in conformity with current 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC. Technical data indicated on the appliance.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The appliance works by generating short-range magnetic fields.

When the high-frequency current runs through the coil to excite the magnetic field, the magnetic line of force penetrates the molecules of the steel pan to create an infinite number of small vortices that generate heat.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY

The cooker automatically enters a protective state if the pan overheats or there is a problem with the power supply.

Similarly, the hob will turn off if it has not received any instruction for two hours.

As opposed to gas or other conventional cookers, the induction cooker cooks without producing a visible flame or smoke, thus reducing the possibility of danger or accidents normally associated with the use of other heating methods and the reason why using the induction hob is more environmentally friendly.

TYPES OF PANS TO USE

Any pan with a flat bottom, a diameter between 12 and 26~cm , and made of a metal with magnetic properties such as cast iron, iron or steel may be used on the cooker plate to cook or heat food. Make sure that the pan contains the symbol below:

Containers that cannot be used to heat food include those made of aluminum or copper or aluminum, and with a diameter of less than 12cm .

USE OF THE APPLIANCE.

Insert the plug into the power socket, place the pot in the centre of the hob, and press the ON-OFF button. If the pot is not in place, the appliance will not run. The appliance bleeps when switched on. If the appliance does not receive any instructions for 30 seconds, it will turn off automatically.

The control panel is "TOUCH", since the functions can be activated simply by touching the buttons, without applying pressure.

To use the stove, press the "SELECT" button and the POWER light will come on: the display will show a preset value of 1200W; you can now set the desired power by using the +/- buttons, from a minimum of 200W to a maximum of 2000W along with intermediate power values (400, 600, 800 W etc.), or alternatively, use the MIN or MAX button to go straight to the maximum or minimum power.

If the "SELECT" button is pressed again, the TIMER light will come on: the display will show 0; you can now set the time in which the appliance will turn off by using the +/- buttons, from a minimum of 5 min. to a maximum of 180 min. with time values in increments of 5 minutes.

If the "SELECT" button is pressed again, the TEMP light will come on: the display will show a preset value of 180^ ; you can now set the desired temperature by using the +/- buttons, from a minimum of 60^ to a maximum of 240^ with intermediate values in increments of 20^

MAINTENANCE

The high quality ceramic hob is easy to clean. Stains caused by food or water spills must be removed so that they do not cause a bad odor.Disconnect the plug from the socket and let the appliance cool down well before cleaning it.

In order to clean the appliance, use a soft or slight damp cloth.

Never use abrasives or chemical solvents.

NEVER IMMERSE THE APPLIANCE INTO THE WATER.

It is recommended to check periodically that the cable does not have cuts or burnings due to the nearness of the plate.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Once the hob has cooled, the device can be restarted.

If the fault persists, call an authorized service centre.

E03 - The supply voltage is too low or too high.

Check that the device is connected to the supply voltage indicated on the label plate data.
