Furthermore, carefully read all the instructions as follows:

• Utilise an air extraction duct that has a maximum length of not more than 5 metres.

• Limit the number of curves in the duct because each curve reduces the efficiency of the extraction equal to 1 linear metre (E.g., if two 90° curves are utilised, the length of the duct must not exceed 3 metres in length).

• Avoid drastic changes of direction.

• Utilise a duct with a 150mm or 200mm diameter along its whole length.

• Utilise a duct that is manufactured from material approved to the norm. The supplying company will not respond to problems of flow capacity or noise if there is a lack of respect of the previously mentioned instructions and the guarantee will be annulled.

1. Position the support bracket of the down-

draft in the rear part of the realised aperture (refer to Fig. 2).

2. The bracket must be positioned approxi-

mately two/three millimetres from the upper surface of the worktop, as shown in Fig.3.

3. Fix the support bracket of the downdraft to

the worktop by utilising the screws supplied in the case of wood worktops. For worktops realised in materials different to wood, utilise the appropriate screws.

4. Utilise the upper and lower holes positioned

in the support bracket of the downdraft in accordance with the thickness of the worktop into which the product is installed.

5. Fix the two worktop reinforcement telescopic

structures to the lower sides of the support bracket of the downdraft, as shown in Fig. 4.

6. After fixing the reinforcement structures, ad-

just their telescopic travel so as to reach the base underneath (Fig. 5). Fix the structure to the base underneath utilising the screws supplied.

7. Check that the worktop is perfectly level then

block the travel of the structures utilising the four self-threading screws, positioned as in Fig. 6.

8. Insert the downdraft into the installed sup-

port bracket (refer to Fig. 7). The fixtures positioned on the downdraft must coincide perfectly with the support bracket installed in the kitchen unit (refer to Fig. 8).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

• The worktop must be perfectly level.

• Place the cooking hob into the previously realised opening in the worktop.

• Press the cooking hob down forcefully onto the worktop, in correspondence to the edges of the cooking hob.

If the downdraft is not perfectly aligned with the cooking hob, adjust the adjustment screws (Fig. 10A) on the right and left of the product. Screw in the screws to lift the downdraft and unscrew to lower the downdraft.

Before the installation, the screws indicated in Fig. 10B must be unscrewed as much as possible so as to keep the downdraft near to the rear part of the kitchen unit. If the downdraft is not centred correctly with the cooking hob after the installation has been carried out, utilise the adjustment screws (Fig. 10B) to shift it forwards by screwing in the screws or backwards by unscrewing the screws on both the right and left side of the product.

1. Check that the downdraft inside the kitchen

unit is perfectly vertical. Fix it utilising the brackets supplied (Fig. 11).

2. Permanently block the downdraft utilising the

two screws indicated in Fig. 12.

3. Connect the electrical cables of the down-

draft as shown in Fig. 13 and then carry out the connection to the mains electricity in ac-

cordance with the information reported on the relative technical data plate.

4. After completing the installation and having connected the downdraft to the mains electricity, check that the red key on the electronic metal box is pressed and then activate the lifting of the extraction carriage by pressing

the

key.

5. When the extraction carriage is fully opened, remove the door block (Fig. 14). Successively open the door (Fig. 15) and position the anti-grease filters (Fig. 16).

6. The motor can be installed on the front or rear part of the downdraft. The air outlet must be pointed upwards or downwards.

7. Assemble the ducting for the air outlet.

8. In the case of the version with an external motor, choose the air outlet most suitable from the five possibilities (refer to the design in the TECHNICAL ILLUSTRATION chapter) and install the supplied union.

9. Position the metal box containing the electronic components in an easily accessible position in the case of any technical intervention.

• Connections may be carried out by a qualified technician only. The earthing protection must comply with the standing regulations.

• Connection terminals are revealed when the connection box cover is removed.

• Prior any attempted connection check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate is in line with your home power supply.

• The rating plate is located underneath the appliance.

• The cooking hob operates at 220V-240V~.

• In order to make a fixed connection to the mains, insert an all-pole circuit breaker between the appliance and the mains. This device shall have a contact separation in all poles, providing full disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions.

• Such appliances are allowed to be mounted on one side next to a high kitchen cabinet, the height of which may exceed that of the appliance. On the opposite side however, only a kitchen cabinet of equal height as the appliance is allowed.

• Upon the completion of installation, live wires and isolated cables must be adequately protected against accidental touching.

BASIC ADJUSTMENT OF SENSORS TO THE AMBIENCE

Upon each connection to the power supply the sensors of the appliance are automatically adjusted to the environment to ensure their proper function. All displays turn on and are fully illuminated for a few seconds. During the adjustment procedure the sensors must be free of any objects, otherwise the adjustment procedure will be interrupted until such objects are removed from the sensor surface. During this period the regulation of the cooktop is impossible.

INSTALLATION DIAGRAM:

The hob is equipped with a power cable.

The connection needs to be made on the terminals of the power cable directly during the connection with the electrical net as you can find both in the rating plate and in the electrical scheme here below.

CONNECTION TO THE POWER SUPPLY

WARNING

Before attempting any repairs on the appliance, disconnect the power supply. In accordance with the mains voltage the appliance should be connected in line with the attached diagram.

HOTPLATE FUNCTION PRINCIPLE

• Ceramic glass hob is fitted with three or four hotplates. Hob surface is completely flat and smooth, without edges to accumulate dirt.

•

The cooking hob is equipped with a highlyfunctional induction cooking zone. The heat is formed directly in the bottom of the cooking pot. This way the required extent of energy is considerably smaller compared to traditional heaters, which operate on radiation principle.

• Glass ceramic hotplate is not heated directly, but only by return heat transmitted by the dish. This heat figures as “remaining heat” after the hotplate is turned off. The induction hotplate generates heat from the induction coil, installed underneath the ceramic glass surface. The coil stabilises the magnetic field.

APPROPRIATE COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION HOTPLATES

• Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if appropriate cookware is used.

• Dish should be in the middle of the hotplate during cooking.

• The appropriate cookware is the one which enables induction, for example steel, enamel or steel alloy cookware. Pots made from steel alloy with copper or aluminium bottom, or glass pots are inappropriate.

• If you use the pressure cooker (“economy pot”) keep it under close surveillance until proper pressure is obtained. Hotplate should first operate on maximum power, then follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use the appropriate sensor to decrease the power.

• When buying cookware, check if it bears the label “allows induction”.

NOTE

In case sugar or other heavily sweetened substance is spilled on the hotplate, wipe it immediately and remove the sugar residues with a scraper although the cooking zone is still hot, otherwise the hotplate may be damaged. Avoid cleaning the cooktop while the cooking zones are still hot, as you may damage the hob.

Magnet test

Use small magnet to test if the dish bottom is magnetic. Only dishes where magnet sticks to the bottom are suitable for induction cooking.

Dish recognition

One of great advantages of the induction hotplate is dish recognition. Even if there are no dishes upon the hotplate, or the dish diameter is smaller than the diameter of the relevant hotplate, there are no thermal energy losses. When the hotplate is on, the power indicator displays letter “U”. If you place the dish over that hotplate within the following 10 minutes, the hotplate recognizes the dish and turns on to the preset power value. At the moment you remove the dish from the hotplate, power is suspended. If you place smaller dish upon the hotplate and it is recognized, the hotplate will only use the amount of energy required to heat the dish according to its size.

Hotplate may be damaged if:

• it is turned on and left empty, or an empty dish

is placed on it;

• You use clay dishes which leave scratches on

the ceramic glass surface;

• You fail to wipe the dish bottom dry prior plac-

ing it on the ceramic glass hotplate; heat induction is obstructed and the hotplate may be damaged;

• You fail to use the appropriate dishes that can

be magnetized: steel dishes, enamel or steel alloy dishes; induction hotplate will not function otherwise.

POWER REGULATION

Heating power of the hotplates may be set at nine different levels. The following chart indicates illustrative use of each power setting.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• When buying cookware be careful in selecting size: pot diameter usually refers to the top edge of the dish, which is often larger than the dish bottom. Steam-pressure pots (economic pots), which use pressure in tightly sealed interior, are especially economic, and save both time and energy. Shorter cooking time leaves more vitamins in food.

• Always leave enough water in steam-pressure pots, otherwise it may result in overheating which may damage both the pot and the hotplate.

• Always cover the cookware with lids of appropriate size.

• Use such dish size to accommodate the quantity of food to be prepared. If you use excessively large pot for small amount of food, you will consume considerably more energy.

Example: Set the hotplate to power level 5 and leave it operate for some time. If you do not change the above setting, the safety mechanism will switch the hotplate off after 4 hour.

SAFETY SWITCH OFF

Induction hotplate is also fitted with safety device against overheating which protects electronic parts from damages. This device operates on several levels. When temperature of the hotplate excessively rises, it switches on two-stage fan. If this is not enough, extra powerful heating is deactivated, and finally the safety device either reduces the heating power of certain hotplates or turns them off completely. When the hotplate cools off, the full power of hotplate is again available.
