Cooking on Induction

The principle of induction cooking is based on magnetic eect.

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 at 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. Use 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 ashes, 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.

11

Using Your Hob

To switch the hob on

To switch the power on, touch and hold the

key for approximately

two seconds. The hob will beep and all ve zone displays will show
zero.

Please note: If a power level is not set within ten seconds, the hob
will switch o automatically.

To set the power level

There are power level keys for each individual zone which allow you
to set the power level by touching the “+” or “-” keys for the zone

required.

To turn a zone on, either touch the “+” key to set the power level at
an initial setting of “4”, or touch the “-” key to set the power level at an
initial setting of “9”.

To increase the power level from 1 (minimum) toward 9 (maximum),

touch the “+” key. To decrease the power level touch the “-” key.

To turn the power o

To switch o a single zone, touch the “+” and “-” keys together for
the zone no longer required. This will set the power level to zero.
Alternatively, touch the “-” key until the zone display shows zero.
When all the zones are at zero, the hob will switch o automatically

after approximately ten seconds.

Alternatively, to switch o the hob immediately, touch and hold the

key for approximately two seconds.

12

Special Programmes

The hob has two optional preset programmed heating levels for each

of the zones.

42°C setting

• Touch the “Special Programmes” key

so the special programmes

control light illuminates.

Note: The hob is fitted with a power management system to limit the

total power used. When using the booster on one or more zones this
function may limit the power being used by other zones.

Auto-heat

Every zone is equipped with an auto-heat function, which reduces
the warming up time for the zone. To turn on the auto-heat function:

• Set the power level for that zone to “9”.

• Then touch the “+” key for that zone again so its display alternates

between “9” and “A”.

• Within ve seconds, select the power level required. The display

will alternate between the set power level and “A” for a preset
period of time. When auto-heating has nished the power will

reduce to the level set.

• If no nal power level is set, the auto-heat is switched o and the

Pause

The hob is equipped with a pause function which pauses cooking

temporarily without switching the power o completely.

14

• To pause the hob, touch the “Pause” key , the hob displays “11” in

all the zone displays.

• To restart cooking, touch the “Pause” key again.

Timer

The hob is equipped with a timer that allows finish times to be set for

the end of cooking on any combination of zones, between a minimum

of one minute and a maximum of 99 minutes. This timer can also be
used as a minute minder.

The timer display is surrounded by six indicators:

The middle front one represents the minute minder and the other five

are “Zone timer indicators”, representing the individual zones.

To set the timer

To set a nish time for a heating zone, rst it is necessary to turn on
that zone as above. Then:

• Touch both the timer “+” and “-” keys together. The timer control

light function will switch on.

• Touching both the timer “+” and “-” keys together again several

times will allow you to cycle through the available control areas (one

for each heating zone in use and the minute minder one).

• While one of the “Zone timer indicators” is ashing you can set the

timer for that zone using the “Timer keys”.

• Touch “+” repeatedly to start at 0 minutes and work upward,

note that it will scroll more quickly if you just hold your finger
on it.

• Alternatively, if you touch the “-” key rst the setting will start

at 30 minutes.

15

• After approximately ve seconds, the “Zone timer indicator” will stop

ashing and the countdown will start.

• The timer display will show the minutes remaining.

At the end of the timer, the selected zone will switch o and the hob
will beep for approximately one minute. To switch o the beep touch
either of the “timer keys”.

To cancel the timer

• Touch both the timer “+” and “-” keys together several times until the

“Zone timer indicator” for the timer zone you wish to cancel ashes.
That timer zone is then in “setting” mode.

• Use the timer “-” key to reduce the time outstanding to zero.

• The timer will remain in setting mode until approximately ve

seconds, after your last key touch.

Please note: Cancelling the timer will not switch o the zone. You
should switch the zone o manually if required.

Please note: the power level can be adjusted during the
countdown using the “+” or “-” keys.

16

Key Lock

The hob is equipped with a key lock to lock the controls. This can be

used when the hob is o or during cooking.

To switch on the key lock

Touch the

key for approximately two seconds until the LED above
the key lock key illuminates and the hob beeps to confirm the key
lock is switched on.

To switch o the key lock

Touch the

lock is switched o.

Use of the key lock when the hob is o

The key lock remains set when the hob is turned o, so still must be

cancelled next time the hob is turned on.

Use of the key lock when the hob is in use

The key lock LED is illuminated to confirm that the key lock is

switched on and no adjustments can be made to any of the zones or
the timer. It is possible to switch o the hob using the

key when

the key lock is on, for safety reasons.

17

Residual heat indicators

The hob is equipped with residual heat indicators to warn when any

of the zones are still hot to the touch after cooking. An “H” will show
in the relevant zone display after cooking until the zone is at a safe

temperature to touch.

In the event of a power cut, the residual heat indictors will illuminate
after the power supply is restored. However, when there is no power
supply to the hob the residual heat indicators will not work, so extra
care must be taken.

Please note:

You should avoid touching the zones when the hob is in use, or when
an “H” is showing on the zone display.

Small object safety

Anything left on the control panel (e.g. cutlery or towels) will cause the

hob to switch o automatically and “Er03” to show on the display.

Pan detection

The hob is equipped with a sensor that will advise when the pan is

removed from the zone, or is unsuitable for use on induction hobs.
The zone display will show “u” alternating with the power level until
a suitable pan is placed on the zone. The zone will switch o after
approximately one minute if no suitable pan is placed on the zone.

18

Ecient Use of Your Hob

The hob is equipped with zones of dierent sizes, designed to
accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results,
only use pans with at bottoms and choose an appropriate zone
depending on the size of the pan. The most ecient use of the hob is
shown below, where the pan and zone are correctly chosen.

Use pan lids where possible to minimize the energy usage of your

appliance.

Zone Size Minimum Pan Size (cm) Maximum Pan Size (cm)

180mm 10 20

210mm 11 24

It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a
suitable material and have the correct type of base. The base of the
pan must be clean before use to prevent any scratches on the hob
top.

22

Fitting the Hob

Unpacking the hob:

Take care not to lose or mishandle any parts.

Fitting position of the hob:

This appliance must be installed a minimum of 50mm from any
back wall and a minimum of 180mm away from any adjacent vertical
surfaces, e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This may be reduced to
100mm if the adjacent surface is resistant to fire (tiles or steel, for

example). These dimensions are shown in Fig. 5.

Ventilation requirements:

This appliance must be installed to allow air to ow freely to the air

intake, from the air outlet and in the base and run of units into which it

is installed (Fig 3). An air gap of 20mm is recommended immediately

below the hob.

Failure to allow sucient ventilation could cause damage to the hob

and constitutes incorrect installation, which is not covered by the
warranty.

Notes:

• This could be a simple slot cut out of the plinth, or a dedicated

ventilation grille.

• The furniture top rail should not be fitted to the unit. This allows the

induction hob to exhaust air into the kitchen space.

• The recommended ventilation sizes are for guidance only.

23

If tting a cooker hood above the hob:

If a cooker hood is to be installed above the hob, the height of
the hood above the hob must be at least 600mm (650mm is

recommended) (Fig. 4). If the instructions supplied with the hood

dictate that the hood must be installed at a height greater than
600mm, then that height is the minimum required.

Wall furniture requirements:

The minimum height of any cabinet immediately above the hob is
900mm. The minimum height of any adjacent units (including light
pelmets) is 400mm, unless they are manufactured from a material
resistant to fire (steel, for example).

Notes:

• Do not position this appliance above a refrigeration unit. The heat

generated may cause the refrigeration unit to fail.

• This appliance is designed to be installed into cabinet units capable

of withstanding temperatures of 65°C or greater above ambient
temperature.

• Never place perishable foods, soft items such as tea towels,

cleaning products or ammable items in the cupboard or drawer

below the appliance.

• If an oven is to be installed below the hob, the thermal safety system

on the hob will not allow the hob to be used at the same time as a
pyrolytic programme on the oven.

• The hob is equipped with an anti-overheating safety device that

can be activated if the hob is installed over an oven that is not

suciently ventilated. In the event that this occurs, the zone display
will show “E2”. We recommend that you increase the ventilation

of the hob by creating an opening in the side of the cabinet (8cm x
5cm).

24

How to Install the Hob

Overall dimensions of the hob:

Width: 880 mm Depth: 520 mm

Worktop cut-out dimensions:

Width: 810 mm Depth: 490 mm

1. Make the required hole in the

worktop. Before doing this, you must

check the instructions supplied with
any cooker hood to ensure that you
will have the required clearance. The

cut-out (Fig. 5) shows a 60mm gap

from the wall to the cut-out edge.
The distance from the hob, when
fitted, to the back wall is 50mm.

If a splashback/worktop upstand is

to be fitted, take this into account
when cutting the hole. The minimum
distance that the hob should be
positioned away from the rear wall or
splashback is 50mm.

2. Fix the foam seal underneath the

appliance by following the outline of
the worktop upon which the hob will
rest. This ensures an airtight seal with
the worktop. Do not use silicone type
sealant.
