SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Installation

WARNING!

Only a qualified person must in­stall this appliance.

• Remove all the packaging.

• Do not install or use a damaged appli-

ance.

• Obey the installation instruction sup-

plied with the appliance.

• Keep the minimum distance from the

other appliances and units.

• Always be careful when you move the

appliance because it is heavy. Always
wear safety gloves.

• Seal the cut surfaces with a sealant to

prevent moisture to cause swelling.

• Protect the bottom of the appliance

from steam and moisture.

• Do not install the appliance adjacent to

a door or under a window. This pre­vents hot cookware to fall from the ap­pliance when the door or the window is
opened.

• If the appliance is installed above draw-

ers make sure that the space, between
the bottom of the appliance and the up-

per drawer, is sufficient for air circula­tion.

• Make sure that the ventilation space of
2 mm, between the worktop and the
front of the below unit, is free. The war­ranty does not cover damages caused
by the lack of an adequate ventilation
space.

• The bottom of the appliance can get
hot. We recommend to install a non­combustile separation panel under the
appliance to prevent access to the bot­tom.

Electrical connection

WARNING!

Risk of fire and electrical shock.

• All electrical connections must be made
by a qualified electrician.

• The appliance must be earthed.

• Before carrying out any operation make
sure that the appliance is disconnected
from the power supply.

• Use the correct electricity mains cable.

• Do not let the electricity mains cable
tangle.

• Make sure the mains cable or plug (if
applicable) does not touch the hot ap-

pliance or hot cookware, when you
connect the appliance to the near sock­ets

• Make sure the appliance is installed
correctly. Loose and incorrect electricity
mains cable or plug (if applicable) can
make the terminal become too hot.

• Make sure that a shock protection is in­stalled.

• Use the strain relief clamp on cable.

• Make sure not to cause damage to the
mains plug (if applicable) or to the
mains cable. Contact the Service or an
electrician to change a damaged mains
cable.

• The electrical installation must have an
isolation device which lets you discon­nect the appliance from the mains at all
poles. The isolation device must have a
contact opening width of minimum 3
mm.

• Use only correct isolation devices: line
protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw type
fuses removed from the holder), earth
leakage trips and contactors.

2.2 Use

• Internally the appliance becomes hot
when in operation. Do not touch the
heating elements that are in the appli­ance. Always use oven gloves to re­move or put in accessories or oven­ware.

cracked, disconnect immediately the
appliance from the power supply. This
to prevent an electrical shock.

• Users with a pacemaker must keep a
distance of minimum 30 cm from the
induction cooking zones when the ap­pliance is in operation.

WARNING!

Risk of fire or explosion.

• Fats and oil when heated can release
flammable vapours. Keep flames or
heated objects away from fats and oils
when you cook with them.

• The vapours that very hot oil releases
can cause spontaneous combustion.

• Used oil, that can contain food rem­nants, can cause fire at a lower temper­ature than oil used for the first time.

• Do not put flammable products or items
that are wet with flammable products
in, near or on the appliance.

• Do not let sparks or open flames to
come in contact with the appliance
when you open the door.

• Open the appliance door carefully. The

INDUCTION COOKING ZONES

For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in
the cookware very quickly.

5.1 Cookware for induction

cooking zones

Use the induction cooking zones
with correct cookware.

Cookware material

• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, the bottom made
of multi-layer (with correct mark from a
manufacturer).

• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if …

• ... some water boils very quickly on a
zone set to the highest heat setting.

• ... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of
the cookware.

The bottom of the cookware

must be as thick and flat as possi­ble.

5.2 Use of the cooking zones

IMPORTANT

Put the cookware on the cross which is
on the surface that you cook. Cover the
cross fully. The magnetic part of the bot­tom of the cookware must be 125 mm
minimum. Induction cooking zones adapt
to the dimension of the bottom of the
cookware automatically. You can cook
with the large cookware on two cooking
zones at the same time.

5.3 The noises during operation

If you can hear

• crack noise: cookware is made of dif­ferent materials (Sandwich construc­tion).

• whistle sound: you use one or more
cooking zones with high power levels
and the cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).

• humming: you use high power levels.

• clicking: electric switching occurs.

• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not re­fer to appliance malfunction.

Cookware dimensions: induction cook-

ing zones adapt to the dimension of the
bottom of the cookware automatically to
some limit.
