Precautions before use

• Unpack the hob and all associated components, taking care not

to lose or mishandle any parts.

• The appliance must be installed by a suitably qualified

professional and connected to the electricity supply by a qualified electrician who will comply with the local regulations. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by wrong installation or connection.

• The appliance must be installed in a purpose-designed kitchen

unit and worktop cut out as specified below.

• This hob has been designed for use only as a domestic cooking

appliance. Any other use is potentially dangerous and will invalidate the guarantee.

• Remove all labels and other packaging materials from the

ceramic surface prior to use.

• Do not modify the appliance in any way as this will invalidate the

guarantee and is potentially dangerous.

• The hob must not be used as a freestanding appliance or as a

worktop.

• This appliance must be connected to the electricity supply

according to the local regulations. It must be suitably earthed.

• Do not use any extension cable to connect the hob.

• This appliance must not be installed above a dishwasher or

tumble dryer as steam may damage the electronic components.

• This appliance must not be controlled by external tools like

separate timer or separate remote control system

Page 5

Using the appliance

• Always switch cooking zones off after use.

• Take particular care when cooking with oils or fats that may

ignite.

• Cooking pans and ustensils and the hob itself become hot during

use. Caution, risk of injury to people and pets both during and after use.

• Ensure no cable from any other appliance can come into contact

with the hob top or pans during use.

• Magnetic objects (such as credit cards, portable electronic

devices; etc.) must not be placed near the appliance during use.

• Metal objects such as knives, forks, lides etc. must not be placed

on the hob as they may become hot.

• Don’t place any other metallic object than suitable pans on the

hob. In case of untimely activation or residual heat, metallic object may become hot, melt or even burn.

• Never cover the hob with any cloth or other cover. This may

become hot and create a fire hazard.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and

above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

• Children shall not play with the appliance.

• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children

without supervision.

Page 6

Precautions not to damage the appliance

• Use of damaged pans or those with raw cast iron bottoms may

damage the hob ceramic glass.

• Abrasive materials such as scouring cleaners and grits may

damage the ceramic glass.

• Avoid dropping objects onto the ceramic glass.

• Take care not to strike the edges of the hob with saucepans.

• Ensure that ventilation remains free from obstructions and

complies with instructions specified by the manufacturer.

• Do not place empty saucepans on the hob.

• Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium foil must not come into

contact with the heating zones. These may cause permanent damage to the ceramic. If these should accidentally fall onto the hob, turn it off immediately and carefully remove them. Take care not to burn yourself.

• WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be

dangerous and may result in fire.

• CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short

term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.

• WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking

surface.

• Never place any hot items on the control panel.

•

If a drawer is located below the hob, ensure that a minimum air gap of at least 4 cm is left between the drawer contents and the base of the hob. This is essential to guarantee correct ventilation. A horizontal divider made of material capable of withstanding 65°C above ambient temperature can be used to ensure this air gap.

• Never place inflammable items or materials (like sprays) in a

drawer or cupboard below the hob. Cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.

COOKING ADVICES

Choosing the Right Cookware

Adapted materials: steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, ferromagnetic stainless-steel,

aluminium with ferromagnetic bottom.

Non-Adapted materials: aluminium and stainless-steel without ferromagnetic bottom,

copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan. To check if pans are compatible:

• Put some water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [ 9 ]. If [ U ]

does not appear and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.

• Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted and sticks to the pan, the

pan is suitable. Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise is normal and does not affect the cooking operation, nor does it mean a failure in the appliance.

Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base. To avoid scratching the glass, always lift pans off the hob - do not slide.

Pan Dimension

The cooking zones are, up to a certain limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan. However, the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according to the corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Switch-off the appliance before cleaning. Do not clean the hob if the glass is too hot due to risk of burn.

• Remove light marks with a damp cloth with washing up liquid diluted in a little water. Then

rinse with cold water and dry the surface thoroughly.

• Highly corrosive or abrasive detergents and cleaning equipment likely to cause scratches

must absolutely be avoided.

• Do not use any steam-cleaner or pressure washer.

• Do not use any object that may scratch the ceramic glass.

• Ensure that the pan is dry and clean. Ensure that there are no grains of dirt on your

ceramic hob or on the pan. Sliding rough saucepans will scratch the surface.

• Spillages of sugar, jam, jelly, etc. must be removed immediately. This will prevent the

surface being damaged.

• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

Page 28

TROUBLESHOOTING

Noise

Buzzing sounds are normal with induction hobs * Intermittent humming sounds are also normal. They indicate that the cooktop works in intermittent modus in order to reach lower temperatures.

Sound of the fan may also be heard when cooking for a long time and/or with higher

* temperatures. Each fan is fitted with temperature control that will automatically increase or decrease its speed. This will ensure a more silent operation and an increased lifetime of your hob.

Buzzing sounds are not linked with the hob, but with the pan (vibration coming from the base,

* the attachement of the handle, or an utensil placed in the pan when cooking...) The buzzing sound may vary according to the selected cooking level, the pan temperature, the pan wear and tear, etc.

The hob or the cooking zone doesn’t start-up:

•

The hob is incorrectly connected to the electrical network.

•

The protection fuse has cut-off.

• The locking function is activated.

•

The touch control keys are covered with grease or water.

• An object is put on a key.

The control panel displays [ ]:

• There is no pan on the cooking zone.

• The pan is not compatible with induction.

• The bottom diameter of the pan is too small.

The control panel displays [ E ]:

• The electronic system is defective.

• Disconnect and replug the hob.

One or all cooking zone cut-off:

• The safety system has actioned.

• You forgot to cut-off the cooking zone for a long period of time.

• One or more sensitive keys are covered.

Fit

• The cut-out sizes are:

• Ensure that there is a distance of 50mm 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.

•

There must be a space of 20mm air circulation of the electronic device (see page 31 for full ventilation information).

•

If a drawer is placed under the worktop, avoid placing flammable objects (for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects inside.

•

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.
