1.4. CLEANING

• Let the hob cool and clean it completely, as dirt can be very difficult to remove when reheated.
• Use products that are suitable for cleaning glass-ceramic hobs.
• Do not use abrasive sponges or powder detergents that could scratch the glass surface.
• Do not use oven cleaning spray, as it is very aggressive and could damage the glass surface.
• The glass-ceramic hob should not be cleaned using steam or other similar methods.
• To remove minor dirt, use hot water and a little detergent, rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth or paper.
• Remove any residual detergent, as it could damage the glass when hot.
• The use of an adequate spatula for cleaning glass is recommended for severe build-ups (see figure 51).
• Warning: If plastic objects, sugar or sugary foods melt onto the hob, they should be removed while hot using a spatula, taking care to avoid getting burnt.

1.5. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• The appliance must be installed by a technically qualified person with knowledge of current installation standards and regulations.
• This instruction manual should always accompany the product if it is transferred to another owner.
• Children should be supervised whenever using the hob to ensure that they do not touch the hot surfaces or get too close to the appliance during use.
• Disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply and wait until it is completely cold before performing any maintenance operations.
• The hob's power supply cable must not be replaced by the user. This operation must only be performed by competent technical personnel.
• Should repairs be necessary, always contact an authorized technical assistance centre and demand original parts.
• Repairs made by incompetent personnel may cause damage.

WARNING: If the surface is broken, disconnect the appliance by turning off the power supply protection device, to avoid the possibility of an electric shock.

The hob has been designed to not interfere with the operation of other pieces of electrical equipment, provided that they respect the rules that apply to them.

The induction hob creates magnetic fields in its vicinity.

To ensure that no interferences are generated between the hob and pacemakers, the pacemaker must have

been designed as per applicable standards

However, we recommend that anyone using pacemaker style devices should consult with their doctor or device manufacturer about possible incompatibilities of the device*

If in doubt, an induction hob should not be used*

2 USE AND OPERATION

2.1.

INSTALLATION

Cut the work area, as per the measurements indicated in figure 1

The hob should be installed on a completely flat surface to avoid the risk of breaking the glass

Any reinforcements in the installation area must be removed*

Insert the hob into the opening in the furniture such that it is centralised*

To prevent seepage, apply the supplied sealant around the entire edge of the hob, ensuring that the ends touch without overlapping (see figure 2).

Do not use silicone to seal the hob, as this will make it impossible to remove if maintenance is required in the future.

Fix the hob in place with the supplied clamps.

Bolts should be tightened sufficiently to fix the hob in place (see figure 3).

The hob should be installed at a minimum distance of 50 mm from the rear wall and 100 mm from side walls.

If any furniture is suspended above the work area, it must be at minimum height of 600 mm above it.

If there is a piece of furniture higher than the hob, it must be at a minimum distance of 300 mm away.

Combustible materials, such as curtains, should be at a minimum distance of 500 mm away.

If the hob is installed above a drawer, there must be a division between the bottom of the hob and the drawer to avoid accidental contact with the hot base of the hob.

As a minimum, the hob must be installed at a height of 60 mm above the division or the oven installed immediately below it (see figure 4).

When installing the hob, the ventilation spaces described in figure 4 must be planned.

Specifically, there must be an air outlet with a height of at least 7 mm at the front along the entire length of the hob, and an air inlet at the rear of the furniture with a height of at least 50 mm along the entire length of the hob.

The fresh air inlet and hot air outlets are fundamental for the correct and effective operation of the induction hob.

2.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The appliance's electrical connection must be made by a qualified person, in accordance with current safety standards.

Before turning the hob on, make sure that the electrical connections and protection devices are suitable for the product's technical characteristics.

Before turning the appliance on, make sure that the domestic electricity installation and circuit breaker can withstand its load (see the appliance's data plate).

If the hob is installed above an oven, the electrical connections of the two appliances must be made separately, both to facilitate their extraction and for electrical safety reasons.

To connect the hob to the electricity supply, an all-pole circuit breaker must be installed between the oven and the power supply, with a minimum gap between the contacts of 3mm. This circuit breaker should be appropriate for the load and correspond to current safety regulations.

The earth cable, identifiable by its green/yellow colours, must not run through the switch.

The power supply cable must be positioned such that none of its points can reach a temperature in excess of 50^ C above room temperature.

It should also be ensured that the power supply installation is properly earthed, in accordance with current safety standards, and that the all-pole circuit breaker is accessible when the hob is installed.

Do not use shortened cables, bypasses or adaptors, as these could cause overheating and pose a fire risk.

The manufacturer shall not be liable if current standards are not followed, and shall not be considered liable for damage and/or injury resulting from incorrect installation and/or use.

2.3. USE

If the glass breaks, disconnect the hob from the electricity supply.

Food wrapped in aluminium foil cannot be cooked directly on the glass.

Each work area is marked by an outline.

For cooking that does not require intense heat, take advantage of residual heat in the heating zones, digit "Non the display.

Save energy by boiling liquids at the lowest possible power level.

Do not leave any objects on the hob's cooking zone, even if it is turned off.

2.4. COOKWEAR

Induction zones only work with cookwear with ferromagnetic bases.

Cookwear is ferromagnetic if a magnet is attracted to their base, and can thus be used on induction heating zones, see figure 7.

Cookwear with thick bases and diameters similar to that of the heating area must be used.

To avoid scratching the glass, cookwear must not have rough bases and must be clean and dry before being placed on the glass-ceramic hob.

If unsuitable cookwear is used, the thermostat will deactivate before the required temperature is reached.

This will prolong cooking times and waste energy.

It is recommended to cover cookwear while cooking. This saves a considerable amount of energy.

We recommend the use of stainless steel cookwear with a flat base with good heat conductivity, as this allows cooking times to be reduced.

Aluminium and copper cookwear is not recommended, as they can stain the glass surface.

Induction zones are fitted with a pan detection system.

The induction zones will not work if the pan placed on them is not of a certain minimum size.

Minimum cookwear diameters
Zones 2 & 4 Zones 1 & 3
9 cm 13 cm

If it is attempted to turn on a zone without a pan, or with a pan that is too small, the fault indicator "U" will be displayed, or the display will flash.

When cooking is complete, turn off the zones using the "Off" sensor on the digital control panel.

The aforementioned diameters refer to cookwear with good induction characteristics.

Recipients with weak induction capacity may require a diameter of up to 35% more

2.5. SENSORS

This appliance is fitted with electronic sensors, which are activated by placing your finger over the symbols. Please remember that only one sensor may be used at a time, except when a zone is turned off by pressing the "+" and "-" sensors at the same time.

Never place objects in the sensor zone; the sensor zone must remain clear to prevent errors from occurring. If an error occurs, all zones will be turned off and the residual heat indicators activated.

Selecting the Power

This plate has an "Eco power limit" system.

The user can reduce the plate's total power

The maximum power when the plate is turned on is 7200 W. This can be reduced by the user to 2800W, 3500W or 6000W.

Selecting Eco power limits

The following sequence is used to choose a new power limit:

• during the first 30 seconds after the appliance has been turned on
• The hob must be unblocked and all zones turned off
• press the (-) and (+) keys of zones 1 and 4 simultaneously.

Doing this causes a signal to sound, " P_0 " appears on the timer display and the current power limit will be shown on the zone 1 and zone 4 displays (7200W).

To select a new power limit:

Sensors (+) and (-) are used to choose the power limit. The following powers can be selected: 2800W, 3500W, 6000W, 7200W. If the (+) and (-) sensors are pressed when the power is at 7200W, the power changes to 2800W.

The following sequence is used to finish setting the new power limit:

- press the (-) and (+) keys of plates 1 and 4 simultaneously.

- once some, the new power is set and the system is not re-set.

To exit without changing the setting:

if no action is taken for 60 seconds, the changes are not set and the system is restarted.

Plate power limit

The plate's total power level is calculated whenever the user attempts to increase the power. If this total power level is in excess of the plate's pre-set power limit, the power increase is not permitted, an error beep sounds and the display shows "r" for 3 seconds.

Blocking

press the block sensor (key) for 3 seconds to activate or deactivate the blocking function. If the key symbol is shown, the hob is not blocked.

2.8. TIME LIMIT IN OPERATION

For safety reasons, the zone deactivates automatically when a certain maximum operating time is exceeded. The maximum operating time depends on the level selected for the zone:

level 1-10 hours level 4-10 hours level 7-10 hours
level 2-10 hours level 5-10 hours level 8-10 hours
level 3-10 hours level 6-10 hours level 9-3 hours

The time value can be selected between 1 and 99 minutes, and it is possible to set the time for a zone at any power level (0 .. 9); the user can only select one zone at a time for the timer function.

Activate Timer:

Press the timer sensor (+) or (-). A noise sounds and the display shows a 00 "time" symbol. The displays show a flashing "1", indicating that the timer has been activate for the zone in question.
