CE Declarations of Conformity
This appliance has been manufactured to the strictest standards and complies with all applicable legislation, including
Electrical safety (LVD) 2006/95/EC and Electromagnetic interference compatibility (EMC) 2004/108/EC. Parts
intended to come into contact with food conform to 89/109/EC.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC
DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC.

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.
• After use, please ensure that the control knobs are in the ‘Off” position.
• 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.
• Only use completely flat-based cookware on the hob. Uneven cookware could cause damage to the hob.
• Do not store cleaning or flammable products in the unit below the hob.
• 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 (e.g. heating rooms) 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.
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 even.
Most cookware is compatible with induction cooking. There are two ways to check the suitability of your cookware:
1. Using a magnet to see if the base of the pan is magnetic: if the 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.
