Using your duo in complete safety

We have designed this duo for private use in homes.

We have designed this duo for private use in homes.

With a view to constantly improving our products, we reserve the right to make any changes to their technical, program or aesthetic features connected with their technical evolution.

These hobs are exclusively designed for cooking drinks and foodstuffs and contain no asbestos based components.

The hood is completely automatic and controlled by the hob to adjust to your cooking power. You only need to clean it regularly and change the recycling carbon filters (see the chapter on maintenance).

If a crack appears in the glass surface, disconnect the appliance immediately to avoid any risk of electric shock. For disconnecting, remove the fuses or use the cutout switch.

Do not re-use your hob until the glass surface has been changed.

Your hob must never be used as a storage space for any products whatsoever.

When cooking never use aluminium foil and never place products wrapped in aluminium foil or products deep-frozen in aluminium packs on the hob. The aluminium will melt and damage your appliance irreparably.

Do not connect electrical appliances on plugs close to the hob. Make sure that the power cable is not in contact with any heating zones.
Leave pans on your frame or plate (depending on the model).

Do not stare fixedly at the halogen lamps on the cooking zone

A steam cleaner should never be used

You must not flambé dishes (flames drawn into the unit could cause damage to it). Any frying done under the unit must be watched constantly.

Repairs must only be carried out by an approved specialist. If your kitchen is heated by an appliance connected to a chimney (stove, range etc.), you must install the hood in recycling mode.

Do not use the hood without the metal filters.

Choice of installation

Hood

All our appliances can operate in the following modes:

Extraction duct internal diameter 15cm (or if this is not available you may use a duct with an internal diameter of 12.5cm using the adapter supplied with your hood).

Not supplied with the unit:

• The evacuation duct: it may be in Sheet enamel, aluminium, flexible or any non-inflammable material and should be 15 ~cm or, if necessary, 12.5 ~cm in diameter.
• The active charcoal filter needed for hoods set up for air recycling These filters are available at your retailers under the reference marked on the identity plate (see inside the hood).

Hob

Installing your duo in complete safety

Positioning

Your hob (220-240 V~ 50 Hz, 6,9 kW) must be connected to the mains with :

• A H05RRF type cable with three 2.5 ~mm^2 conductors or five 1.5 ~mm^2 conductors (including a yellow / green earth wire).

Your hood (220-240V~ 50 Hz-240 W) eis supplied with an H05 VVF cable with 3 0.75mm wires (negative, positive and earth).

10 or 16 amp fuse

These duo must be connected to the mains using a plug in compliance with the publication CEI 60083 or an omnipolar circuit braking device at least 3mm from the contact opening.

When the power is switched on, or after a long power failure, a light code appears on the control panel. This disappears automatically after about 30 seconds or as soon as any touch control is touched on the panel. This is normal, as the display is for use by the after-sales service when required. The user must not take this into account under any circumstances. If the unit has a 3 phase 400 V2N connection, and is not working correctly, check that the neutral wire is correctly connec-ted. This precaution should also be taken for all your other electronic apparatus.

The unit must be installed so that the mains plug is easily accessible.

When installing the cooktop, great care should be taken to prevent sharp edges from damaging the power cable.

Assembling the main body of the hood

The unit must be installed in compliance with regulations in force concerning ventilation of inside premises. In France, these regulations are to be found in DTU 61.1 of the CSTB. In particular, any fumes evacuated must not be blown into ventilation, hot air, or fume removal conduits.

Disused conduits are only to be used after approval from a specialist.

Between 5....7	2 hours
Between 8....9	1 hour

The letter A is displayed for the heating zone concerned and the hob will bleep for about 2 minutes. The A will continue to be displayed until any control of the zone in question is touched. The hob will then bleep twice to confirm your action.

Using your hood in all simplicity

The hob has an infra red system (specially designed for the hood) which controls the extraction power automatically.

When the hob is switched on the light goes on and the hood is in automatic mode: An A is displayed on the hob.

The extraction speed of your hob changes automatically depending on the cooking power you have chosen.

In this mode you can change the setting on your hood at any time depending on the specific requirements of particular types of cooking (frying, excessive steam etc.).

You can also use your hood in manual mode.

The extraction speed is entirely under your control. You just need to choose the extraction setting by pressing the buttons on your hob.

It is preferable to use the back cooking areas of your cooker.

In manual mode:

We recommend that you use this from the time you start cooking. When all the burners are off the hood stops automatically after 1 - 4 minutes depending on the extraction speed you have chosen.

In automatic mode:

These criteria are taken into consideration by the hob as the hood starts working as soon as the cooking areas start to warm up.

Preserving and maintaining your hob

• You must:

Avoid any shocks with recipients etc.:

The glass surface is highly resistant but not unbreakable.

Avoid rubbing with recipients etc. as in time this will deteriorate the markings on the top of your ceramic hob.

Avoid using recipients with rough or dinted bases:

They may hold and transport matter liable to stain or scratch the hob.

Place your recipient in the middle of the heating zone.

Use a pan of the right size. The diameter of the base must be as big as, or bigger than the cooking zone surface area marked on the ceramic plate.

Any such faults, which are not the cause of breakdowns nor make the hob impossible to use, are not included in the guarantee conditions.

• You must not

Put plastic utensils on the cooking surface when it is hot.

Store MAINTENANCE or INFLAMMABLE products in the cupboard under your hob.

Leave an empty recipient on a heating zone.

Heat up a closed can. It may burst; this recommendation applies to all methods of cooking.

Leave a casserole or a pan containing hot fat or oil unattended on the cooking zone.

TYPE OF STAIN	WHAT TO DO	ACCESSORIES EMPLOYED
Minor	Soak the area to be cleaned with hot water, then wipe it.	Cleaning sponges
Accumulated burnt-on stains	Soak the area to be cleaned with hot water, use a special ceramic hob scraper to remove the worst, finish off with the rough side of a cleaning sponge, then wipe it clean.	Cleaning sponges special ceramic hob scraper
Rings and traces of limescale	Apply hot white spirit vinegar on the stain, leave to act then wipe off with a soft cloth.- Use a commercial cleaner.	Special ceramic hob cleaning paste
Burnt-on stains following sugar spillage, melted aluminium or plastic.	- Apply a special ceramic hob cleaner on the surface, preferably one which contains silicone (protective action).	Special ceramic hob cleaner

The best way to use your ceramic hob

Pans and casseroles must be designed for use with electric hobs.

Use pans with flat bases that have good surface contact with the cooking zone surface. They must be made out of:

• Stainless steel with a thick tri-metal or "sandwich" bottom.
• In aluminium with a thick smooth bottom.
• In enamelled steel.

For easy use, we have provided cooking zones specially adapted to your needs, nevertheless:

However, higher temperatures may be required for:

Large quantities
- Cooking with a non-covered casserole.
- Using a glass or ceramic casserole.

And lower temperatures are required for:

• Cooking food products that tend to burn easily (start with a low temperature that can always be increased if possible).
• In case of overflowing (take the lid off, or remove the pan from the heat, then lower the temperature).

Energy saving:

To finish off cooking turn the knob back to 0 and leave the pan in place to use up all the accumulated heat (which saves energy).

Use a lid whenever possible to reduce any loss of heat through evaporation.

Automatic cooking zone temperature adjustment

The radiant cooking zone is self-regulating, It switches itself on and off so as to remain at the programmed power. Under these conditions the temperature remains constant and is correctly adapted to the food you are cooking.

The frequency of self-regulation depends on the power being used.
