not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

9 - Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with several, differently sized, induction elements.

Select cookware having flat bottoms, large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. Proper
size pots and pans will also improve efficiency.

10 - DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though

they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns.

11. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result
in injury..

12. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings - Boil-over causes smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite.

13. Do not use aluminum foil, aluminum liners or aluminum containers on the unit.

14. COOKWARE HANDLES SHOULD BE TURNED INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT
HEATING ELEMENTS - To reduce the risk of burns, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
cookware, the handle of a pot or a pan should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not
extend over adjacent surface units.

15. DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKTOP - If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers
may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact an authorized service
agent immediatel

16. CLEAN COOKTOP WITH CAUTIONl - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking
area, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.

Before Installation

If receiving the unit from a transportation company, it is customer’s obligation to inspect the package and
note any damage on the delivery receipt. After delivery have your induction cooktop carefully unpacked, and
again check for any visible damage. If you find any damage on the unit at this point, immediately inform your
dealer or distributor. Although the responsibility for shipping lies with the carrier, your dealer/distributor will
assist you with your claim.

If the unit is not supposed to be installed for some time, you should keep it in its original packaging, stored in
a dry and safe place.

Read through the section of this manual which pertains to installation, and make sure that all of the
requirements are met. Ensure that your electric power supply is correct.

Before you install the unit, you should take a moment to write down the information from your nameplate and
fill-out the Form on page 19, for future after-sale servicing needs . This information will be required every
time you call for any service on your unit.

Installation

To install the cooktop, cut out a rectangular in the counter as shown on the drawing and table below. Also,
ensure that you have a minimum of 10 mm (3/8”) of space in the back of the unit, between the rim and
backsplash on your counter (or wall if no backsplash) for ventilation.

A self-adhesive gasket is supplied with your unit. Before setting the cooktop in place install this gasket by
sticking it underneath the rim.

Apply the gasket only along the front rim and on both sides. Do not put this gasket on the rim in the back.
This gasket will prevent most of the spills from entering the cabinet below and will keep the unit in place.
Once the gasket is installed, place the cooktop in the opening, and lay it on the rim. Do this carefully - do not
drop the unit into the cut-out. Make sure that the unit. is sitting properly on its rim all around the perimeter.

If your counter is produced from porous materials which tend to swell if in contact with humidity
and water, to better protect the cut-out, use proper sealants on the edge which would prevent any
penetration of humidity and water.

Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminates to prevent further chipping.
Radius corners of the cut-out and file them to ensure smooth edges and prevent
corner cracking.
Rough edges and inside corners which are not rounded as well as forced fits can contribute to

cracking of counter top laminate.
