Frequently Asked Questions - CIB1637DC CANDY

How to use the Booster function on the hob?

Select the desired cooking zone, then press the BOOST key. The display shows P. The function lasts a maximum of 5 minutes, then returns to the previous level. Note: Booster on one zone limits the power of the adjacent zone.

How to set the timer for multiple zones?

Activate a zone with the +/- keys, then press the timer key. Set the time from 1 to 99 minutes. For multiple zones, the decimal points flash; the display shows the shortest remaining time. The timer can also be used as a simple countdown without an active zone.

How to lock the controls for child safety?

Press the lock key. The display shows Lo and all controls are locked except ON/OFF. To unlock, press the same key for 3 seconds.

What types of pans are compatible with induction?

Use utensils made of ferromagnetic material (stainless steel, cast iron, enameled). Check with a magnet: if it sticks, it's compatible. The diameter must be greater than 80 mm (ideally >140 mm to be detected). Avoid aluminum, glass, and ceramic.

How to clean the ceramic glass hob?

For light soiling, use a damp sponge with hot water. For stubborn stains, apply white vinegar or a special ceramic glass cleaner. For melted sugar or plastic, scrape while hot with a suitable scraper. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.

What do error codes F0/F1/F2 and E1/E2 mean?

Codes F0/F1/F2 indicate a fan problem (contact customer service). E1/E2 signal abnormal voltage: check the power supply and restart. E3/E4 relate to pan temperature, E5/E6 to insufficient radiation (allow cooling).

What to do if the hob does not turn on?

Check that the plug is properly connected and that the circuit breaker has not tripped. Ensure the supply voltage matches (220-240V). If the problem persists after 1 minute without operation, the appliance remains in standby; press ON/OFF again.

What are the important safety precautions?

Never leave cooking with oil unattended. In case of fire, do not use water; cover the flame. Keep children under 8 years away. Do not store anything on the surface. If the glass is cracked, turn off the appliance to avoid electric shock.

Can I use aluminum pans on this hob?

No, aluminum is not compatible with induction because it is not ferromagnetic. The hob will not heat and an audible signal will sound. Only use utensils made of stainless steel, cast iron, or enameled steel.

What are the required cut-out dimensions for installation?

Plan a cut-out of approximately 560 x 490 mm (check the diagram in the manual). Leave a space of at least 50 mm between the cut-out edge and walls. The worktop thickness must be at least 30 mm and heat-resistant.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing the CANDY induction hob. We hope it will give many years of good service.

Please read this instruction manual carefully before using the hob and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Product Introduction

The induction hob caters for all kinds of cooking, with ultrorsmagnetic cooking zones, and its micro-computerised controls and multi-functions, making it an ideal choice for today's family.

Manufactured with specially imported materials, the induction hob is extremely user-friendly, durable and safe.

Working Principle

The induction hob comprises a coil, a hotplate made of ferromagnetic material and a control system. Electrical current generates a powerful magnetic field through the coil. This produces a large number of vortices which in turn generate heat which is then transmitted through the cooking zone to the cooking vessel.

Safety

This hob was specially designed for domestic use.

In its constant search to improve its products, CANDY reserves the right to modify any technical, programme or aesthetic aspects of the appliance at any time.

● Protection from over-heating

A sensor monitors the temperature in the cooking zones. When the temperature exceeds a safe level, the cooking zone is automatically switched off.

- Detection of small or non-magnetic items

When a pan with a diameter of less than 80mm, or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) or a non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium) has been left on the hob, a buzzer sounds for approximately one minute, after which the hob goes automatically on to standby.

Residual heat warning

When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter "H" appears to warn you to keep away from it.

Auto shutdown

Another safety feature of the induction hob is auto shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:

Power level	The heating zone shut down automatically after
1~3	8 hours
4~6	4 hours
7~9	2 hours

When the pan is removed from the cooking zone, it stops heating immediately and switches itself off after the buzzer has sounded for one minute.

Warning: Anyone who has been fitted with a heart pacemaker should consult a doctor before using the induction hotplate.

Installation

1. Cut a hole in the worktop of the dimension shown in the diagram below. A minimum of 50 mm space should be left around the hole. The worktop should be at least 30 mm thick and made of heat-resistant material. As shown in Figure (1)

Figure (1)

1. It is essential that the induction hob is well ventilated and that the air intake and exit are not blocked.

Make sure the hob is correctly installed as shown in Figure 2.

Figure (2)

NB: For safety, the gap between the hob and any cupboard above it should be at least 760 mm.

1. Fix the hob to the worktop using the four brackets on the base of the hob. The position of the brackets can be adjusted according to the thickness of the top.

Warnings:

(1) The induction hob must be installed by a properly qualified person. We have our own qualified installers. Never try to install the appliance yourself. (2) The induction hob must not be installed above refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers or tumble dryers. (3) The induction hob should be installed so that optimum radiation of heat is possible. (4) The wall and the area above the hob should be able to withstand heat. (5) To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive should be heat-resistant.

4. Connection to power supply

The socket should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, to a single-pole circuit breaker. The method of connection is shown in Figure 3.

Voltage	Wire connection
380-415V 3N~	1 2 L1 L2 Black Brown	3 4 N Blue	5 Yellow/Green
220-240V~	1 2 L Black & Brown	3 4 N Blue	5 Yellow/Green

Figure (3)

If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, this should be done by an after-sales technician using the proper tools, so as to avoid any accidents.

If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply, an omnipolar circuit breaker must be installed with a minimum gap of 3 mm between the contacts.

The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it complies with safety regulations.

The cable must not be bent or compressed.

The cable must be checked regularly and only replaced by a properly qualified person.

Instructions for Use

Preparation before using:

When the power is switched on, the buzzer will sound once and all the indicators will come on for one second and then go out. The hob is now in standby mode.

Place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

Operating instructions

When the ON/OFF key is pressed, all the indicators show "-". Select the power level by pressing the "+" or "-" key for the relevant hotplate. To begin with the indicator shows "5". Adjust up or down by pressing the "+" or "-" key. If you press the "+" and "-" keys simultaneously, the power setting returns to "0", and the cooking zone switches off.

See the table on Page 6 for the power specific to each cooking zone.

NB: When the ON/OFF key is pressed, the induction hob returns to standby mode if no other operation is carried out within one minute.

Boost mode

To heat up more quickly, press "BOOST" after selecting the cooking zone, with the power level indicator showing "P".

NB:

1. The boost function only operates for 5 minutes, after which the cooking zone returns to its original setting.
2. The boost function works on all cooking zones.

When the boost function of the first cooking zone is activated, the second cooking zone is automatically limited to level 2 or below, and vice versa. When the boost function of the third cooking zone is activated, the fourth cooking zone is automatically limited to level 2 or below, and vice versa.

Cancelling the "BOOST" mode

When in the "Boost" mode, select the corresponding cooking zone and press the "Boost" key or the "-" key to cancel the Boost mode, then the cooking zone will revert to its original setting.

Timer function

If more than 1 zone is switched on:

Activate the selected zone by pushing the "+" or "-" key of that zone; the corresponding digits will be flashing.

- Then press the "+" or "-" timer key.

Set the time by pressing the "+" or "-" key. After setting the time, you can select the power level of the cooking zone.

Then set the time between 1 minute and 99 minutes.

Press the "+" key once to increase the time by one minute; hold down the "+" key to increase the time by 10 minutes.

Instructions for Use

• Press the "-" key once to decrease the time by one minute; hold down the "-" key to decrease the time by 10 minutes.
• If you set the timer without selecting any cooking zone, the minute minder function is activated. When the timer elapses, the buzzer will beep for 30 seconds.

If the timer is set on more than one zone:

The timer can be set on all 3 cooking zones. When you set the time for several cooking zones simultaneously, the decimal dots of the relevant cooking zones are on.

On the timer display, the timer that will expire first will be shown. The dot of the corresponding zone will be on but flashing. Once the countdown timer expires, the corresponding zone will be switched off. Then the new first expiring timer will be shown, and the corresponding zone will have its dot flashing.

Note:

1. When the timer is at 0 minutes, the timer is cancelled.
2. When time elapses, the relevant cooking zone is switched off.
3. After setting the timer, if the timing indicator has been flashing for 5 seconds, the set time will be automatically confirmed.
4. In timer mode, pressing the "+" and "-" keys of the timer simultaneously returns the timer setting to "0" and cancels the time.

Safety mode

To ensure the safety of children, the induction hob is fitted with an interlock device.

To lock: hold down the "Interlock"; the hob then goes into "Interlock" mode, the timer shows "Lo" and the rest of the keys are disabled except the "ON/OFF" key.

Unlocking

Hold down the "Interlock" key for 3 seconds and the hob will return to normal working.

Note: It is recommended that the cooker hood suction is switched on a few minutes prior to cooking and switched off a few minutes after terminating cooking.

Selection of cooking vessels

Iron oil frying pan, stainless steel pot, iron pan

Iron kettle

Enamel stainless steel kettle

Enamel cooking utensil

Iron plate

You may have a number of different cooking vessels.

1. This induction hob can identify a variety of cooking vessels, which you can test by one of the following methods:

Place the vessel on the cooking zone. If the corresponding cooking zone displays a power level, then the vessel is suitable. If "  " flashes, then the vessel is not suitable for use with the induction hob.

2 Hold a magnet to the vessel. If the magnet is attracted to the vessel, it is suitable for use with the induction hob.

NB: The base of the vessel must contain magnetic material.

It must have a flat bottom with a diameter of more than 14 cm.

3 Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected.

Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob.
