Dear Customer:

Thank you for purchasing the CANDY induction hob. We hope it will give many years of good service.

Please read this instruction manual carefully before using the hob and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Product Introduction

The induction hob caters for all kind of cooking, with its electromagnetic cooking zones, and its micro-computerised controls and multi-functions, making it the ideal choice for todays family.

Manufactured with specially imported materials, the CANDY induction hob is extremely user-friendly, durable and safe.

Working Principle

The induction hob comprises a coil, a hotplate made of ferromagnetic material and a control system. Electrical current generates a powerful magnetic field through the coil. This produces a large number of vortices which in turn generate heat which is then transmitted through the cookingzone to the cooking vessel.

Iron pot Magnetic circuit Ceramic glass plate Induction coil induced Currents

Safety

This hob was specially designed for domestic use.

In its constant search to improve its products, CANDY reserves the right to modify any technical, programme or aesthetic aspects of the appliance at any time.

• Protection from over-heating

A sensor monitors the temperature in the cooking zones. When the temperature exceeds a safe level, the cooking zone is automatically switched off.

- Detection of small or non-magnetic items

When a pan with a diameter of less than 80 mm, or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) or a non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium) has been left on the hob, a buzzer sounds for approximately one minute, after which the hob goes automatically on to standby.

• Residual heat warning

When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter "H" appears to warn you to keep away from it.

• Auto shutdown

Another safety feature of the induction hob is auto shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:

Power level	The heating zone shut down automatically after
1~3	8 hours
4~6	4 hours
7~9	2 hours

When the pan is removed from the cooking zone, it stops heating immediately and switches itself off after the buzzer has sounded for one minute.

Warning: Anyone who has been fitted with a heart pacemaker should consult a doctor before using the induction hotplate.

Installation

1. Cut a hole in the worktop of the dimension shown in the diagram below. A minimum of 50 mm space should be left around the hole. The worktop should be at least 30 mm thick and made of heat-resistant material.

Operation of Product

Touch Controls

• The controls respond to touch, so you don't need to apply any pressure.
  • Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
  • You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.

Choosing the right Cookware

- Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.

- You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.

- If you do not have a magnet: 1. Put some water in the pan you want to check. 2. If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable. - Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.

Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.

Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
