Energy efficiency information

The information according to the European ecodesign directive can be found in a separate document together with the product instructions.

This information can be found in the "Product information sheet" that can be downloaded from the page for the specific product on the website.

To save energy

  • The diameter of the base of the pan must not extend beyond the lines printed on the glass ceramic surface.
  • Pans must not be placed outside the perimeter of the hob or on the display.
  • When buying a pan, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top of the pan, as the top is almost always larger than the base.
  • When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure cooker, which also helps to retain vitamins contained in the food.
  • Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid as, if there is not enough and it overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
  • If possible, always cover pans with a suitable lid.
  • Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy.

SMEG PM3953D - To save energy - 1

Under certain circumstances, if the hob and the oven are used at the same time, the maximum power limit of the electrical system might be exceeded.

Advantages of induction cooking

SMEG PM3953D - Advantages of induction cooking - 1

The appliance is equipped with an induction generator for each cooking zone. Each generator located under the glass ceramic cooking surface creates an electromagnetic field which induces a thermal current in the base of the pan. This means the heat is no longer transmitted from the hob to the pan but created directly inside the pan by the inductive current.

• Energy saving thanks to the direct transmission of energy to the pan (suitable magnetisable cookware is required) compared to traditional electric cooking.
- Improved safety as the energy is only transmitted to the pan placed on the hob.
- High level of energy transmitted from the induction cooking zone to the base of the pan.
- Rapid heating speed.
- Reduced danger of burns as the cooking surface is only heated under the base of the pan; foods which overflow do not stick.

Power control

The hob is fitted with a power control module that optimises/limits consumption. If the overall set power level exceeds the maximum limit permitted, the electronic circuit board will automatically manage the power supplied by the hot plates. The module tries to maintain the maximum deliverable power levels. Levels set by the automatic control will appear on the display.

SMEG PM3953D - Power control - 1

Priority is given to the last zone set.

SMEG PM3953D - Power control - 2

The power control module does not affect the total power consumption of the appliance.

Accessories

  • Not all accessories are available on some models.
  • The accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply with the provisions of current legislation.
  • Original supplied and optional accessories can be requested to Authorised Assistance Centres. Use only original accessories supplied by the manufacturer.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the hob

Cooking hob pan support grids

Remove the pan support grids and clean them in lukewarm water and non-abrasive detergent. Make sure to remove any encrustations. Dry them thoroughly and return them to the hob.

SMEG PM3953D - Cooking hob pan support grids - 1

The continuous contact between the pan supports and the flame can cause modifications to the enamel over time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of this component.

Flame-spreader crown and burner caps

For easier cleaning, the flame-spreader crowns and the burner caps can be removed. Wash them in hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Carefully remove any encrustation, then wait until they are perfectly dry. Replace the flame-spreader crowns, making sure that they are correctly positioned in their housings with their respective burner caps.

Igniters and thermocouples

For correct operation the igniters and thermocouples must always be perfectly clean. Check them frequently and clean them with a damp cloth if necessary. Remove any dry

residues with a wooden toothpick or a needle.

SMEG PM3953D - Igniters and thermocouples - 1

Cleaning the glass ceramic hob

SMEG PM3953D - Cleaning the glass ceramic hob - 1

See General safety instructions.

Cleaning the surfaces

To keep the surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first.

Ordinary daily cleaning

Always and only use specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.

SMEG PM3953D - Ordinary daily cleaning - 1

In case of stubborn dirt, clean when cold using a damp kitchen sponge and neutral detergent; then dry with a microfibre cloth.

Weekly cleaning

Clean and maintain the hob once a week using an ordinary glass ceramic cleaning product. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions. The silicon in these products creates a protective, water-repellent membrane which also resists dirt. All marks stay on the membrane and can therefore be removed easily. After cleaning, dry the surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that there is no detergent left on the cooking surface as it might undergo an aggressive reaction when heated up and could modify the structure of the cooking surface.

Food stains or residues

Light coloured marks from pans with aluminium bases can be easily cleaned off with a cloth moistened in vinegar. Remove any burnt-on residues after cooking; then rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Dirt, which may have fallen on the hob while cleaning lettuce or potatoes, can scratch the hob when moving pans. Consequently, remove any dirt from the cooking surface immediately. Changes in colour do not affect the operation and stability of the glass. These are not alterations to the material of the hob but just residues which have not been removed and have then carbonised. Shiny surfaces can form due to the bases of pans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing on the surface, and due to the use of unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to remove using conventional cleaning products. It may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process several times. Use of corrosive detergents or rubbing of pan bases can wear away the decoration on the hob over time and contribute to the formation of stains.

SMEG PM3953D - Food stains or residues - 1

We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer.

INSTALLATION

SMEG PM3953D - INSTALLATION - 1

The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician and according to the regulations in force.

SMEG PM3953D - INSTALLATION - 2

After cleaning, dry the appliance thoroughly to prevent any water or detergent from interfering with its operation or creating unsightly marks.

What to do if...

The hob does not work:

  • Make sure that the hob is connected and that the main switch is turned on.

The supply pressure must comply with the values indicated in the "Burner and nozzle characteristics table".

Room ventilation

The appliance should be installed in rooms that have a permanent air supply in accordance with the standards in force. The room where the appliance is installed must have enough air flow for the regular combustion of gas and the necessary air change in the room itself. The air vents, protected by grilles, must be the right size to comply with current regulations and positioned so that no part of them is obstructed, not even partially.

The room must be kept adequately ventilated in order to eliminate the heat and humidity produced by cooking: In particular, after prolonged use, you are recommended to open a window or to increase the speed of any fans.

Extraction of the combustion products

The combustion products may be extracted by means of hoods connected to a natural draught chimney whose efficiency is certain or via forced extraction. An efficient extraction system requires precision planning by a specialist qualified in this area and must comply with the positions and clearances indicated by the applicable standards.

Safety instructions for positioning and installation

SMEG PM3953D - Safety instructions for positioning and installation - 1

See General safety instructions.

  • Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant ( >90^ ).
  • Veneers, adhesives or plastic coatings on adjacent furniture should be temperature-

resistant ( >90^ ), otherwise they might warp over time.

  • If the piece of furniture does not have the required recess opening, either it will have to be cut or masonry work carried out by a competent technician.
  • The minimum clearance between exhaust hoods and the cooking surface must be at least the distance indicated in the exhaust hood installation instructions.
  • The minimum clearances must also be respected for the edges of the hob on the back as indicated in the assembly

instructions.

- If the appliance is to be installed above an oven, the oven must be fitted with a cooling fan.

Hob seal

To prevent leakage of liquid between the frame of the hob and the countertop, place the adhesive seal provided along the entire outer

edge of the hob before assembly.

Do not use silicone to secure the hob. This would make it impossible to remove the hob without damaging it.

Mounting

On top of oven built-in unit

The clearance between the hob and the kitchen furniture or other installed appliances must be enough to ensure sufficient ventilation and air discharge. If installed above an oven, a space must be left between the bottom of the hob and the top of the appliance installed below.

On top of empty kitchen unit or drawers

If there are other pieces of furniture (lateral walls,

drawers, etc.), dishwashers or fridges under the hob, a double-layer wooden base must be installed at least 20 mm from the bottom of the hob to avoid any accidental contact. It must only be possible to remove the double-layer

base using suitable equipment.

Fixed connection

Fit the power line with an all-pole circuit breaker with a contact separation distance sufficient to provide complete disconnection in category III overvoltage conditions, pursuant to installation regulations.

For the Australian/New Zealand market:

The circuit breaker incorporated in the fixed connection must comply with AS/NZS 3000.

Connection with plug and socket

Make sure that the plug and socket are of the same type.

Avoid using adapters, gang sockets or shunts as these could cause overheating and a risk of burns.
