IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE
PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must be taken to a special
local authority waste collection centre or to a dealer providing
appliance recycling services.

Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health. It also
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.

4

• Do not place hot lids flat on the hob top. A “suction” eect 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.

• 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.

5

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 conguring
the power consumption mode correctly. The hob must be
congured at rst switch on.

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 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.

The hob is equipped with a childlock to lock the controls. This can be
used when the hob is o or during cooking

To set the childlock

Touch the key for approximately three seconds until the LED above
the childlock key illuminates and the hob beeps to confirm the child­lock is switched on.

To turn o the childlock

Touch the key for approximately three seconds until the LED above
the childlock key goes out and the hob beeps twice to confirm the
childlock is switched o.

Use of the childlock when the hob is o

The childlock LED will illuminate briefly when any zone control key is
touched.

Use of the childlock when the hob is in use

The zone control display will alternate between showing the selected
power level and the locked symbol for any zone in use.
For any zone not in use, the display will show the locked symbol,
the hob will beep and the childlock LED will illuminate briefly when the
control keys are touched.
It is possible to switch o a zone when the childlock is on for safety
reasons.

14

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 flash in the relevant zone display after cooking until the zone
is at a safe temperature to touch.

Please note:

You should avoid touching the zones when the hob is in use, or when
an H is showing on the zone display.
In the event of a power cut, the residual heat indicators 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.

Temperature Limiter

The hob is equipped with a temperature limiting sensor that adjusts
the power output of the hob if the bottom of the cookware becomes
too hot, preventing damage to the cookware and to the hob itself.

Small Object Safety

The hob will not operate if a small object is left on the hob top, for
example a fork. The zone control display will flash to warn there is
something too small on the hob.

Please note:

Several small objects left together may be detected by the hob as a
piece of cookware. In this case, the zone will operate and the objects
may heat up.

15

Overow Protection

The hob is equipped with a sensor that will switch o the hob, and
display the symbol in the zone display in any of the following
situations:

• Overflow from the pan spills over the control keys

• A damp cloth is placed over the control keys

• A metallic object is placed over the control keys

Auto-stop Protection

The hob is equipped with a sensor that will switch o the hob after

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.6.

Ventilation requirements:

This appliance must be installed to allow air to flow freely to the air
intake, from the air outlet and in the base and run of units into which it
is installed. 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.

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

21

recommended) (Fig.5). 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 flammable 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 C. We recommend that you increase the ventilation of the
hob by creating an opening in the side of the cabinet (8 cm x 5 cm).

22

How to install the hob:

Overall dimensions of the hob:
HVN61FR: Width: 580 mm Depth: 510 mm
HVN81FR: Width: 770 mm Depth: 510 mm

Worktop cut-out dimensions:
HVN61FR: Width: 560 mm Depth: 490 mm
HVN81FR: Width: 750 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.6) 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.
