enables the constituent materials to be recovered, saving both energy and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of
household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.
Please note:
• Induction hobs become hot and remain hot during and immediately after use. Do not touch the hob until it has
been allowed to cool.
• Keep children away from the appliance when in use.
• Never use the hob top for storage.
• Pan handles should never stand out beyond the edge of the worktop. This will ensure children cannot reach them.
• Do not lean over the hob when it is in use.
• Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
• Ensure the base of the saucepan is clean and dry before placing it on the hob.
• Avoid hard shocks from cookware – the vitroceramic glass surface is highly resistant but not unbreakable.
• Do not place hot lids flat on the hob top. A “suction” effect could cause damage to the hob.
• Do not drag cookware across the hob top: in the long term, this could cause damage to the hob.
• Do not store cleaning or flammable products in the unit below the hob.
3
• Always use appropriate cookware.
• Do not cook unopened tins of food directly on the hob.
• Never put cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface when the hob is hot. These materials could melt and cause
damage to the hob.
• This hob (Class 3) has been designed for use only as a cooking appliance. Any other use should be considered incorrect and
therefore dangerous.
FOR THOSE WITH HEART PACEMAKERS OR ACTIVE IMPLANTS:
The function of this hob conforms to current electromagnetic interference standards and thus is in total compliance with legal
requirements (2004/108/CE directives).
To avoid interference between your hob and a pacemaker, your pacemaker must be designed and programmed in compliance
with the regulations that apply to it. As such, CDA guarantee only that our product is compliant.
With regard to the compliance of the pacemaker or any potential incompatibility, you should obtain information from the
manufacturer or your attending physician.
Important
• Do not use the hob if the glass surface is cracked or damaged to prevent the risk of electric shock. Disconnect it from the
power supply.
• Ensure that the power cable of a connected electrical appliance near the hob is not in contact with the cooking zones.
Important: Please refer to page 13 for information on configuring the power consumption mode correctly. The hob
must be configured at first switch on.
Cooking on Induction
The principle of induction cooking is based on magnetic effect.
When you put your cookware on an induction zone and switch it on, the electronic boards in the hob produce induced currents in
the base of the cookware and instantly raise its temperature. This heat is then transferred to the food inside the cookware.
The best cookware to use with induction cooking has thick flat bases, as the heat will be better distributed so cooking
more evenly.
Most cookware is compatible with induction cooking. There are three ways to check the suitability of your cookware:
1. Using a magnet to see if the base of the pan is magnetic: if three magnet sticks, then the cookware is compatible.
2. Place the pan on one of the cooking zones switched on to power level 4: if the display remains on, then the cookware is
compatible. If the display flashes, the cookware cannot be used on an induction hob.
3. Check the instructions or packaging of the pans for the symbols indicating suitability for use with induction.
