When cooking with fats or oils, take care always to watch the cooking process as heated fats and oils can catch fire rapidly. Aluminium foil and plastic containers must not be placed on the hot surfaces. The halogen heat source equipping the ceramic hob gives off a strong light, do not stare at the heat source lamps. After every use, some cleaning of the top is necessary to prevent the build up of dirt and grease. If left, this is recooked when the hob is used and burns giving off smoke and unpleasant smells, not to mention the risks of fire propagation. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR HOB. We recommend you keep the instructions for installation and use for later reference, and before installing the hob, note its serial number below in case you need to get help from the after sales service Identification plate (located under the hobs bottom casing) The hobs control area is sensitive, do not place hot containers on it. Never cook directly on the hob surface, use pots and pans. Always centre the pan well on the cooking zone used. Do not use the hob surface as a cutting board, or work top. Do not slide pans on the hob: risk of scratching. Do not store heavy objects above the hob, they can fall and damage it. Do not store any objects whatever on the hob. In the unlikely event of a crack appearing on the glass, immediately disconnect the unit from the mains and contact the after-sales service directly. p. 64

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - RECOMMENDATIONS48 -

The operational setting up of household appliances in their environment is a delicate operation that, if not done correctly, can have serious consequences for consumer safety. Therefore, this work must be entrusted to a professional who can carry it out in compliance with the technical standards in force. However, if despite this recommendation, the consumer carries out the installation themself, the Candy Group will not accept any responsibility in case of technical failure of the product whether or not it causes damage to goods and/or persons.

«The installation receiving the appliance referred to must comply with the standard in force in the installation country». The Candy Group does not accept any responsibility if this provision is not complied with. Caution: Before connecting, check the power supply voltage shown on the meter, the circuit breaker setting, the fuse rating and the earth continuity of the installation. The electrical connection to the mains must use an earthed socket outlet, or pass though an all-pole cutting device having a minimum contact opening distance of 3 mm. If the appliance has a socket outlet, it must be installed so that the socket outlet is accessible. The green/yellow protection wire must be linked to the earth terminals, of the appliance on one side, and the installation on the other side. We cannot be held responsible for any incident or its consequences that may arise during the use of an appliance not linked to the earth, or linked to an earth whose continuity is defective. All work in relation to the power supply cable must be carried out by the after sales service or someone with similar qualifications. The ceramic hob comes without power supply cable. It is equipped with a terminal board for selecting the type of electrical connection appropriate to the installation. The terminal board has several connection options: . Single phase 220 -240 V AC . Two phase 220-240 V2 AC . Three phase 220-240 V3 AC . Three phase 380-415 V3N AC50 -

INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

CONNECTING TO THE TERMINALS: When connecting you must comply with the instruction given below. . The installation must be protected by an appropriate fuse, see table page 51, and have wires with sufficient cross-section to supply the appliance normally. . The power supply cable must be selected according to the information of table page 51. When connecting you should: . Turn over the hob, glass side against the work top, taking care to protect the glass! . Open the cover in the following sequence: . find the two tabs located on the sides, . put the blade of a flat screwdriver in front of each tab, push in and press, . remove the cover. . Connect the power supply cable: . comply with the information of the table page 51 and the markings on the terminal board and install the shunts (the shunts, inserted in the terminal board, make a bridge between two terminals), . strip the end of each conductor and attach them to the terminals, complying with the information given in the table page 51, . unscrew the cable clamp, . pass the lead through the cable clamp. When you have finished the connection operation to the appliance terminals, tighten the cable clamp and close the cover. Note: make sure the terminal board screws are tight. TERMINAL BOARD

L152 - The unit or support for the hob, as well as the walls of any adjacent units, must be made of high temperature resisting material. In addition, the laminate covering the unit or support should be laid using heat-resistant adhesive to prevent it coming away. Installation: A seal is supplied with the hob. To install it, . turn over the hob, glass side down, taking care to protect the glass. . place the seal all round the hob. . make sure it is placed correctly to prevent any ingress into the support unit. Leave a gap of at least 5 cm between the appliance and any neighbouring vertical surfaces. If, according to the hobs installation, the casing bottom is near a zone normally accessible during handling and/or storage, install a partition 1 cm from the casing bottom, to prevent any risks of burns or deterioration.

Make sure that utensil bottoms are dry: when you fill the container or use a pan straight out of the fridge, for example, make sure that it is dry; this check will stop any dirt getting on the cooking surface. Use pans big enough to fully cover the heat source: it is best to make sure that the bottom is at least as large as the cooking zone. If the bottom is slightly larger, the energy is used most efficiently. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following information will help you select the pans best adapted to obtain good results. Stainless steel: advised. Especially good with a Sandwich bottom. The Sandwich bottom combines the qualities of stainless steel (appearance, long life and stability) with the advantages of aluminium or copper (heat transmission and uniform distribution). Aluminium: thick bottom recommended.Good conductivity. Warning: sometimes aluminium residues appear as traces on the hob, but they can be removed if cleaned off rapidly. Thin aluminium should not be used. Cast iron/ceramic: not advised. Poor performance. Can scratch the surface. Copper bottom: thick bottom recommended. Excellent performance, but copper can leave traces that can look like scratches. They can be removed if the hob is cleaned rapidly. However, do not let water evaporate from pans completely, the overheated metal can stick to the surface. An overheated copper pan can leave traces that risk marking the hob permanently. Porcelain/Enamelled steel: good performance. Only with flat bottom, not too thick and smooth.56 - CONTROLS

• The cooking zones cut off automatically if they are left on too long. The cut off depends on the heat level used.62 - It is important to wait for the ceramic hob surface to cool completely before cleaning it. Only use special products for cleaning ceramic surfaces, cream and scraper. You can find them easily in the shops. Avoid spills; messes that fall onto the cooking surface burn fast and are then harder to clean off. It is recommended to keep away from the cooking surface anything likely to melt like plastic articles, sugar or products with a high sugar content. CLEANING: . Sprinkle a few drops of special ceramic surface cleaner. . Rub, working hard on any stained parts, using slightly damp soft cloth or kitchen roll. . Wipe with dry soft cloth or kitchen roll until the surface is clean. If stains remain after this usual cleaning: . Sprinkle a few more drops of special cleaner. . Use a scraper, keeping it at an angle of 30° to the hob, until the difficult marks go. . Wipe with dry soft cloth or kitchen roll until the surface is clean. . Repeat if necessary. ADVICE: Regular cleaning leaves an protective layer that is essential to prevent scratches and wear. Make sure that the surface is clean before using the hob again. To remove traces of water and scale, use a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice. Finish off by wiping with absorbent paper, and then apply a few drops of special cleaner and wipe. Ceramic glass withstands the rubbing of flat-bottomed cooking utensils, but it is nevertheless advisable to lift them before moving them.

NOTE: . Avoid using a sponge with too much water. . Never use a steel tool like a knife or screwdriver. . A razor blade scraper cannot damage the surface if it is used at an angle of 30°. . Do not leave the razor blade scraper within the reach of children. . Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring powder. The hob frame, according to model: To clean your hobs frame without harm, wash it with soap and water, rinse, and then dry with a soft cloth.64 - All data is given for information only.
