Ventilation

The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories
brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The cooling fan changes to high
speed when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops
automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.

STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT

Power selection zone “SLIDER”

and

“SLIDER“

Direct access

Before the first use

Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent
which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.

Induction principle

An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable
electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the
pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.

Of course the pan has to be adapted:

• All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (Verify with a small magnet): cast iron and steel

pans, enameled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…

• Are excluded: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware,…

The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. With a too small diameter
the pan doesn’t work. This diameter is varying in function of the heating zone diameter.
If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].

Sensitive touch

Your ceramic hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger
presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a
control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound.

In the case of general use press only one key at the same time.

Power selection zone “SLIDER” and timer setting zone

To select the power with the slider, slide your finger on the “SLIDER” zone. You can have direct
access if you put your finger directly on the chosen level.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.
The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforced in his home country.

How to stick the gasket:

The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.
His installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.

Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters

from the external edge of the glass,

after removing the protection sheet (3).

Fitting - installing:

• The cut out sizes are:

Reference Cut-size

C876I 870 x 350 mm

• Ensure that there is a distance of 50 mm between the hob and the wall or sides.

• The hobs are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed

with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall
at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than

the hob.

• The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of

furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist
temperatures of up to 100 °C.

• The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.

• Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.

• To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 mm to ensure a good air

circulation of the electronic device.

• If a drawer is placed under the hob, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects

(for example: sprays) or non heat-resistant objects.

• Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect

the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given
to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the
supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with
smooth work top surfaces.

• The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the

indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a distance
minimum of 760 mm.

• The connection cord should be subjected, after building, with no mechanical constraint,

such for example of the fact of the drawer.

• WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance

or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or
hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause
accidents.
