Zone Advantages of induction cooking The hob is equipped with an induction generator for each cooking zone.
Use 3.1 Instructions High temperature Danger of burns • Protect your hands wearing heat-proof gloves during use. • Do not touch or clean the hob surface during operation or when the residual heat indicator lights are still on. • Do not put empty pans or frying pans on switched on cooking zones. • Do not allow children younger than 8 years old to come near the appliance when in operation. • Activate the key lock when you have children or pets which could reach the hob.
Use 3.2 Preliminary operations In order to remove any moisture that could have accumulated during the manufacturing process and for the electronic circuits and control keypad to work properly: 1. Remove the protective films from the external surfaces of the appliance and accessories. 2. Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate). 3. Place a pan full of water on each of the front cooking zones and switch them on to the maximum power setting for at least 30 minutes. 4.
Cookware suitable for use in induction cooking Cookware used on the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, with magnetic properties and a sufficiently large base. Suitable cookware: • Enamelled steel cookware with thick bases. • Cast iron cookware with an enamelled base. • Cookware in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel and aluminium with a special base. Unsuitable cookware: • Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta cookware.
Use Limiting the cooking duration Advice on energy-saving The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use. If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation for each zone depends on the power level selected. When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert sounds and, if the zone is hot, the symbol appears on the display.
Power levels Switching off the cooking zone The power in the cooking zone can be adjusted to various levels. The table shows the levels suitable for various types of cooking. 1. Select the cooking zone you wish to switch off using the zone selection keys. Power level 2. Use the key to bring the power value to 0 (zero).
Use Minute minder timer Power Function This function allows you to use the maximum possible power for the cooking zone. After activating the required cooking zone: 1. Press the key to bring the power to 9. 2. Press the key again; the will be shown on the display. Press key function. symbol to deactivate the Power On the front left and rear right cooking zones only: The Power function is available for 10 minutes, after which the power level drops automatically to 9.
Use This function is used to program the automatic switch-off of each cooking zone at the end of a period of time (from 1 to 99 minutes). 1. If the cooking zone is not selected, press keys and at the same time, will appear on the display. 2. Press keys and again; if at least one cooking zone is active, one flashing dot will light up to indicate that the zone is being timed. 3.
Use Power control Cooking guidelines To optimise energy consumption, the groups made up of two hot plates are prevented from supplying more than a determined maximum operating power. The electronic circuit will limit the maximum power level which can be selected for the second zone activated. • It is not possible to activate all zones at the same time. • Power control priority is given by the first zone set.
Cleaning and maintenance 4.1 Instructions Improper use Risk of damage to surfaces • Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance. • Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures on the hob during cooking. • Do not place materials or substances that could melt (plastic or aluminium foil). • Keep sensor keys clean at all times and do not rest any object on them. • Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g.
Cleaning and maintenance 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.
5 Installation 5.1 Electrical connection Power voltage Danger of electrocution • Have the electrical connection performed by authorised technical personnel. • Use personal protective equipment. • The appliance must be connected to earth in compliance with electrical system safety standards. • Disconnect the mains supply. • Do not pull the cable to remove the plug. • Use H05V2V2-F cables withstanding a temperature of at least 90°C. • The tightening torque of the screws of the terminal supply wires must be 1.
Installation Fixed connection Fit the power line with an omnipolar circuit breaker in compliance with installation regulations. The circuit breaker should be located near the appliance and in an easily reachable position. Connection with plug and socket Make sure that the plug and socket are of the same type. Avoid using adapters and shunts as these could cause overheating and a risk of burns. Run the power cable in the rear part of the unit.
Installation The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work and must therefore be carried out by a competent tradesman. 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°C). Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the figure in the work surface of the piece of furniture. Mounting dimensions for hob with bevelled edge Mounting dimensions for hob with straight edge EN 5.
Installation 5.4 Mounting Over empty kitchen unit or drawers Over built-in oven 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.
Ventilation Hob seal The illustrations below show two examples of installation suitable for proper ventilation and one example of incorrect installation to be avoided. To prevent leakage of liquid between the frame of the hob and the work surface, 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, if necessary, without damaging it.
Installation 5.5 Fixing brackets Screw the fixing brackets (A) into the holes on the sides of the bottom casing to properly fasten the hob to the structure. If tightened too much the glass may be strained and crack.
