HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY

Using the electricity in a responsible manner not only saves money, but also helps protect the environ- ment. So let’s save electricity! This is how it’s done:

• Use the correct cookware.

• Cookware with at and a thick base can save up to 1/3 of electricity. Please remember to cover cookware with the lid, otherwise electricity con- sumption increased four times!

• Always keep the cooking zones and cookware bases clean.

• Dirt prevents proper heat transfer. Often burnt stains can be removed only with agents harmful to the environment.

• Avoiding unnecessary lifting the lid to peek into the pot.

• Do not install the hob in the immediate vicinity of refrigerator / freez- er.

• The electricity consumption is then unnecessarily increased.- 36 - INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Make the worktop recess The worktop must be at and level. Edge of the worktop near the wall must be sealed to prevent ingress of water or other liquids. Worktop must be made of materials, including veneer and adhesives, resistant to a temperature of 100°C. Otherwise, veneer could come o or surface of the worktop become deformed. Edge of the opening should be sealed with suitable materials to prevent ingress of water. Ensure sucient clearance below the hob to allow proper air circula- tion and prevent overheating. Please read on for more information on correct clearance. Worktop opening must be cut to dimensions as shown on gure below (measurement unit [mm]): min 38

• For straight hoods, the minimum distance of the hood from the worktop should be 650 mm, for inclined hoods, the distance should be 450 mm- 37 - Built-in hob above kitchen cab- inets Built-in hob above the oven min 650mm min 30mm min 10mm min 650mm min 30mm min 10mm Do not install the hob above the oven without ventilation- 38 - Install the hob in the opening Using an electrical cord, connect the hob according to electrical dia- gram provided Remove dust from the worktop, insert hob into the opening and press in rmly Tips for the installer The hob is equipped with a terminal block allowing dierent connec- tions appropriate for a specic type of power supply. Terminal block allows the following connections:

• Two-phase 400V 2N~ The hob can be adapted to a specic type of power supply by bridging the appropriate terminals according to wiring diagram. Wiring diagram is placed on the hob's underside. The terminal block can be accessed by removing the lid on hob's underside. Remember to match the power cord to the type of connection and the hob's power rating. Note: Remember to connect the protective conductor to correctly marked terminal block clamp. The electrical system supplying the hob must be protected by a properly selected tripping device or a circuit breaker allowing to disconnect the power supply in an emergency. Before connecting the appliance to power, please carefully read the in- formation provided on the rating plate and wiring diagram. Connecting the hob other than shown on the wiring diagram may damage the hob. Note: Electrical connection must be made by a properly certied qual- ied installer. Do not make any alterations in the appliance electrical system. Note: The installer is obliged to provide the user with "appliance elec- trical connection certicate" (enclosed with the warranty card). After installation, the installer should also provide information on the connec- tion made:

• single-phase, two-phase or three-phase,

• conductor cross-section,

YOUR APPLIANCE Induction hob operation principle Under the surface glass, there are induction coils that produce pulsing magnetic eld. This magnetic eld penetrates a pot placed on the hob surface causing the pot to heat up. It is important to use pots with a suitable base. The cooking zone is powered intermittently, which is normal. The inter- mittent power depends of the heat setting. Depending on the pots used and heat setting during cooking, the appliance produces a distinctive whiz. This is normal and does not constitute grounds for a complaint. Cookware characteristics

• To check that the pot is suitable for your induction hob, make sure that a magnet strongly attracts its base. The greater the attraction force, the better the pot.

• Always use high-quality cookware with a perfectly at base. The use of this kind of cookware prevents hot spots that may result in food sticking to the pot. Pots and pans with thick steel walls provide su- perior heat distribution. The concave base or deep embossed logo of the manufacturer interfere with the temperature induction control module and can cause overheating of the pot or pan.

• Do not use damaged cookware such as cookware with deformed base due to excessive heat.

• When you use large ferromagnetic base cook- ware, whose diameter is less than the total di- ameter of the cookware, only the ferromagnetic base heats up. This results in a situation where it is not possible to uniformly distribute the heat in the cookware. If the ferromagnetic area is re- duced due to inclusion of aluminium parts then the eective heated area can be reduced. Prob- lems with the detection of the cookware could arise or cookware may not be detected at all. To achieve optimum cooking results, the diameter of the ferromagnetic base should match that of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected in a given cooking zone, it is advisable to try it in a smaller cooking zone.- 41 - The high-quality cookware is essential for ecient induction cook- ing. It is not recommended to use external induction adapters.

• For induction cooking use only ferromagnetic base materials such as: - enamelled steel - cast iron - special stainless steel cookware designed for induction cooking.

• Lid prevents heat from escaping and thus reduces heating time and lowers energy consumption.

• Make sure that cookware base is dry. When lling a pot or when using a pot taken out of the refrigerator make sure its base is completely dry before placing it on the cooking zone. This is to avoid soiling the surface of the hob. Kitchen cookware marking Check for marking indicating that the cookware is suitable for induction cooking. Stainless Steel Cookware is not detected With the exception of the ferromagnetic steel cookware Aluminium Cookware is not detected Cast iron High eciency Note: cookware can scratch the hob surface Enamelled steel High eciency Cookware with a at, thick and smooth base is recommended Glass Cookware is not detected Porcelain Cookware is not detected Cookware with copper base Cookware is not detected- 42 - Residual heat indicator "H" When you have nished cooking, the induction hob glass within the cook- ing zone is still hot, this is called residual heat. If the glass surface is hot, the “H” is shown on the cooking zone display. When residual heat indicator is on, do not touch the cooking zone as there is a risk of burns and do not place on it any items sensitive to heat! The "H" residual heat indicator is not displayed during a power outage. However, cooking zones may still be hot! Before using the appliance for the rst time

• Thoroughly clean the induction hob. The hob has a glass surface, therefore handle it with care.

• Odours may be released when you rst start your appliance. If this happens, turn on exhaust hood or open the window in the room. Emission of odour is temporary. If the appliance does not detect the cookware on the oper- ating cooking zone If there is no cookware on the active cooking zone or the cookware is unsuitable, the symbol indicated on the side will be shown on the display. If you do not place a suita- ble cookware on the cooking zone, it will turn o after 1 minute. If no other cooking zones are used, your induction hob will be in standby mode for another minute, an then turn o completely. Cookware size In order to achieve best cooking results, use cookware with bottoms (ferromagnetic part) of the size corresponding to the size of the cooking zone. Using cookware with the bottom diameter smaller than the cooking zone size will reduce the eectiveness of the cooking zone and increase cook- ing time. Cookware detection sensitivity of a cooking zone is aected by the diam- eter of ferromagnetic component embedded in the cookware base and its material. Cooking zone diameter Cookware diameter [mm]

E6/E9 Hob overheated Allow the hob to cool down before using it again.- 48 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Proper routine maintenance and cleaning of the appliance can signi- cantly extend its trouble-free operation. When cleaning induction hobs, the same principles apply as for glass surfaces. Do not use under any circumstances any abrasive or caustic cleaners or scouring powders or pads! Do not use steam or pressure cleaners. Cleaning after each use Wipe light stains with a damp cloth without detergent. The use of dish- washing liquid may cause a bluish surface discolouration. These persis- tent stains cannot always be removed right away, even using a special cleaner. Firmly adhering dirt can be carefully removed with a scraper. Then wipe the cooking surface with a damp cloth. Removing stains Bright stains of pearl colour (residual aluminium) can be removed from the cool hob using a special cleaning agent. Limestone residue (eg. af- ter evaporated water) can be removed by vinegar or a special cleaning agent. Do not turn o the cooking zone when removing sugar, food containing sugar, plastic and aluminium foil. Immediately and thoroughly scrape the leftovers o the hot cooking zone using a sharp scraper. Once the bulk of the stain is removed the hob can be turned o and clean the cooled o cooking zone with a special cleaning agent. Special cleaners are available in supermarkets, electrical and home ap- pliance shops, drug stores, as well as retail food shops and kitchen show- rooms. Scrapers can be purchased in DIY and construction equipment stores, as well as in shops carrying painting accessories.- 49 - Never apply a detergent on the hot cooking zone. It is best to let the cleaner dry and then wipe it wet. Any traces of the detergent should be wiped o clean with a damp cloth before re-heating. Otherwise, it can be corrosive. Warranty will be void if you do not follow the above guidelines! Periodic inspections In addition to normal cleaning and maintenance:

• carry out periodic checks of touch controls and other elements. After the warranty expires, have authorised service inspect the appliance every two years,

• repair and identied problems,

• carry out periodic maintenance of the hob. Important! If the hob’s controls do not respond for whatever reason, then turn o the main circuit breaker or remove the fuse and contact customer ser- vice. Important! In the event of breakage or chipping of the hob cooking surface, turn o and unplug the appliance. To do this, disconnect the fuse or unplug the appliance. Then refer the repair to professional service. Important! All repairs and adjustments must be performed by a competent techni- cian or by an authorised installer.- 50 -
