Frequently Asked Questions - PIM 604 IX INDESIT

How to install the INDESIT PIM 604 IX hob?

Installation must be carried out by a professional. The worktop cutout must be 555 x 475 mm. The hob requires ventilation: the cavity must have no back wall or have air openings. The electrical connection is made via a terminal block (cable not supplied). Observe the minimum distances from furniture (600 mm) and from the hood (650 mm).

What type of power cable is needed?

The cable is not supplied. Depending on your network, use: H05RR-F 5x1.5 mm² for 380-400 V 3N~, H05RR-F 4x1.5 mm² for 380-400 V 2N~, or H05RR-F 3x2.5 mm² for 220-230 V 1N~. The section must be suitable for 7000 W power.

How to use the electric plates?

Turn the corresponding knob to the desired position (0 to 6). Position 1 is minimum power, 6 is maximum. The indicator lights up when the plate is operating. Use flat-bottomed pans with a diameter suitable for the plate.

What to do in case of burns or fire on the hob?

Never use water to extinguish a grease fire. Turn off the appliance and cover the flame with a lid or fire blanket. In case of burns, cool immediately under cold water and consult a doctor.

How to clean the stainless steel hob?

Disconnect the appliance. Use a damp sponge with a mild detergent, then dry with a soft cloth. Never use a steam cleaner, abrasives or metal sponges. For electric plates, clean with a damp sponge and lightly oil when warm.

Can I use an external timer to turn on the hob?

No, using an external timer or remote control system is prohibited. The appliance must only be switched on manually via the knobs.

What does the red dot on a plate mean?

The red dot indicates a rapid plate, which heats faster than a normal plate. Its maximum power is higher.

How to know which knob corresponds to which plate?

Each knob is identified by a symbol or number corresponding to the plate's position on the hob. Refer to the diagram in the manual.

Does the plate heat even in position 0?

No, in position 0 (off) the plate does not heat. The indicator is off. Make sure the knob is set to 0 after use.

! Before operating your new appliance please read this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important information for safe use, installation and care of the appliance.
! Please keep these operating instructions for future reference. Pass them on to possible new owners of the appliance.

Positioning

! Keep packaging material out of the reach of children. It can become a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).

! The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional according to the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and animals or may damage property.

Fitting the appliance

For a correct installation of the cooking top the following precautions must be followed:

• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller than the top of the hob must be at least 600 mm from the edge of the hob.
• Hoods must be installed according to their relative installation instruction manuals and at a minimum distance of 650 mm from the hob (see figure).
• Place the wall cabinets adjacent to the hood at a minimum height of 420 mm from the hob (see figure).

If the hob is installed beneath a wall cabinet, the latter must be situated at a minimum of 700 mm above the hob.

• The installation cavity should have the dimensions indicated in the figure.
  Fastening hooks are provided, allowing you to fasten the hob to tops that are between 20 and 40 mm thick. To ensure the hob is securely fastened to the top, we recommend you use all the hooks provided.

! Use the hooks contained in the “accessory pack”.
- Where the hob is not installed over a built-in oven, a wooden panel must be installed as insulation. This must be placed at a minimum distance of 20 mm from the lower part of the hob.

Ventilation

To ensure adequate ventilation, the back panel of the cabinet must be removed. It is advisable to install the oven so that it rests on two strips of wood, or on a completely flat surface with an opening of at least 45 x 560 mm (see diagrams).

Where a hob is installed above an oven without a forced ventilation cooling system, adequate ventilation must be provided inside the cabinet by means of air holes through which air can pass (see figure).

Electrical connection

The electric hobs are supplied without power supply cable since the cable must be sized according to the type of electrical connection used (see attached connection diagram). Follow these steps to connect the cable:

• Open the terminal box by removing the screws "V" and opening the cover (see figure).
• Connect the wires as shown in the diagram.
• Fix the cable using the cable clamp "F", replace the cover and fasten it using the screws "V" (see figure).

Connecting the supply cable to the mains

Install a standardised plug corresponding to the load indicated on the data plate.

The appliance must be directly connected to the mains using an omnipolar circuit-breaker with a minimum contact opening of 3 mm installed between the appliance and the mains. The circuit-breaker must be suitable for the charge indicated and must comply with current electrical regulations (the earthing wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker). The supply cable must not come into contact with surfaces with temperatures higher than 50°C.

! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it is compliant with safety regulations. Before connecting to the power supply, make sure that:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate.
• The voltage is in the range between the values indicated on the data plate.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

! The cable must not be bent or compressed.

! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only (see Assistance).

! The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.

! If the appliance is to be installed above a built-in electric oven, the electrical connection of the hob and the oven must be carried out separately, both for electrical safety purposes and to make extracting the oven easier.
