Frequently Asked Questions - KH900CCS KELVINATOR

How do I use the minute minder?

Turn the minute minder knob to 60 minutes to wind the mechanism, then set it to the desired time (0–60 min). The timer will ring for a few seconds when the time expires. It does not switch off the cooking zones.

What does the residual heat indicator mean?

Each cooking zone has a residual heat indicator light. It turns on when the zone is activated and stays on until the zone cools below 50°C. Do not touch the zone while the light is on.

Can I use cast iron pans on the glass-ceramic cooktop?

Yes, but exercise caution. Cast iron pans can have rough bottoms that may scratch the glass-ceramic surface. Ensure the pan bottom is flat, clean, and dry before use.

How do I activate the extendible cooking zone?

Turn the corresponding knob beyond position 8 until you hear a click, then return it to any setting from 1 to 8. This switches on the extended area of the zone.

What should I do if the glass-ceramic surface cracks?

Immediately disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity and contact the After-sales Service. Do not use the cooktop until it is repaired.

How do I clean the hob properly?

Use only recommended ceramic hob cleaners. Avoid abrasive sponges or scouring powders. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry after each use.

Why does the minute minder not turn off the cooking zones?

The minute minder is a timer only; it does not control the heating elements. It alerts you when the set time elapses, but you must manually turn off the zones.

Can I install the hob over an oven?

Yes, but follow the oven manufacturer's instructions and ensure proper ventilation as shown in Fig. 6 of the manual. Maintain the required clearances.

What type of pans are best for energy efficiency?

Use pots with a solid, level base and a diameter slightly larger than the cooking zone. This ensures even heat distribution and reduces cooking time.

How do I remove burnt-on residues?

Allow the hob to cool, then apply a ceramic hob cleaner and scrape gently with a special scraper. Rinse and wipe dry. For stubborn stains, repeat the process.

THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED FOR DOMESTIC USE. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT LIABLE IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE TO PERSONS OR OBJECTS CAUSED BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION, IMPROPER OR ERRONEOUS USE.

USER'S INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION

All the installation procedures (electrical connections) must be carried out by an electrician in accordance with the standards and laws in force. This product is in installation class Y.

The equipment may be installed in any type of unit made of brickwork, metal, wood, veneered and laminated plastic, as long as they are able to withstand a maximum temperature of 100^ C.

Keep a distance of 50 mm from the back edge and 110 mm from the left side.

See figure 1.

For specific instructions, see the fitter's section.

Connect extremities of return rods in the relative axles placed in the oven and in the control panel. Then fix oven in relative site using fitting screws (for control panel use special little claps).

USE

CONTROL KNOBS and COOKING ZONE (Fig. 4)

Cooking zones are controlled by knobs connected to an energy regulator. Clockwise numbers 1 to 8 are used to indicate cooking settings where 1 is the minimum setting and 8 the maximum setting. Number 0 is the off position. Extendible zones, on models where available, are activated on position 8.

To switch on the extended zone, turn the knob beyond the 8 setting until a click is heard, then return it to any setting from 1 to 8.

The zone controlled by each knobs is identified by the adjacent cooking zone identification.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR (HOT SURFACE INDICATOR)

Each heating elements has a corresponding residual heat indicator light. This switches on automatically once the corresponding cooking zone is switched on. Once a cooking zone has been turned off, the corresponding light will stay on for a period of time necessary for the zone to cool down to 50°C.

During this time avoid touching the cooking zone and take precautions to ensure children cannot touch it.

MINUTE MINDER 0-60 min

The minute minder may be used for timing the cooking period. It does not switch off the plates but gives a loud ring when the selected time has elapsed. Turn the control knob to 60 minutes to wind up the mechanism then return the knob to the desired time period.

When the time has elapsed the timer will ring for a few seconds.

CONTROL PANEL

SAFETY TIPS FOR USING THE COOKTOP

Before switching on, check which knob controls the desired cooking zone. It is best to place the pot or pan on the cooking zone before switching on, and remove it only after switching off.
Use only flat-bottomed pans with a regular surface (exercise caution with cast iron pans). Irregular bottoms can scratch the glass-ceramic surface. Check the bottom is clean and dry
Do not use the cook top if the surface is broken or damaged.
Bear in mind that the cooking zones remain hot for a relatively long time (about 30 min.) after switching off.
Do not allow heavy or sharp objects to fall on the glass-ceramic cook top.
If you find a crack on the cook top, disconnect the appliance from the mains electricity immediately and contact the After-sales Service.
Do not stare at the halogen lamps on the cook top.
Never cook food directly on the glass-ceramic cook top; always use suitable pots or containers.
Always keep children away from the appliance when it is in use.
Do not leave hot fat or oil unattended. If overheating occurs, these could catch fire.
Use only pots with a solid level base. An uneven base can prolong cooking times and waste energy.
Use pots with a base diameter slightly larger than the plate. This ensures even heat distribution and prevents spillage from dripping onto and staining the hot plate.
Thermal shock could damage the plates. Do not put cold pots on very hot plates.

Knob Setting	Cooking operation

MAINTENANCE

ANY ADJUSTMENT, MAINTENANCE, ETC. MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE HOB UNPLUGGED AT THE MAINS.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

Before cooking for the first time, it is necessary to clean the surface of the appliance. This should be done using only recommended ceramic hob cleaners.

After cleaning, the appliance should be operated in the following manner to remove any residues or moisture that may be present within the appliance: one at a time, turn the heating plates on and set at maximum and operate (without pans) for a period of 5 minutes, then turn off. An odour may be given off during this operation, this is normal.

FITTER'S INSTRUCTION

INSTALLATION

All the installation procedures (electrical connections) must be carried out by an electrician in accordance with the standards and laws in force.

ANY ADJUSTMENT, MAINTENANCE, ETC. MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE HOB UNPLUGGED AT THE MAINS.

POSITION

The hob is designed to be fitted into a work surface, which is larger, then the hob. See Fig. 1 and 2.

If the hob is to be fitted into a surface/oven, follow the instructions of the oven manufacturer and ensure that the ventilation complies with Fig. 6. . The hob is supplied with a seal to prevent infiltration into the unit. The seal must be fitted carefully into its seat. Fasten the hob with the brackets, as shown in Fig. 5.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Before connecting the electrics, ensure that:

• the household power supply meets the requirements on the plate located under the hob and featured in this booklet;
• there is an earth system and that it works correctly;
• for a direct connection to the mains, there must be an omni polar cut-off device on the power-supply line, with a contact cut-off distance of 3 mm or over. The device must also be located in an accessible position near the hob (the yellow-green earth wire must not be interrupted).
• When the appliance is connected using a lead and plug, the latter must be easily accessible after the hob has been installed, if a multiple pole switch is not installed.
