INDUCTION COOKING SYSTEM

When your induction hob is switched On and a cooking zone has been selected, the elec­tronic circuits produce induced currents that instantaneously heat the bottom of the pan
which then transfers this heat to the food. Cooking takes place with hardly any energy loss
between the induction hob and the food.
Your induction hob operates only if a correct pan with the right features is placed on a coo­king zone. Please refer to COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION COOKING.

If the pan detection symbol

appears on the display, your pan is not suitable and your
induction hob will not operate. After 10 minutes without detecting any pan, the cooking
zone switches Off automatically.

REMAINING HEAT INDICATORS

When the temperature of a cooking zone is still hot, the relevant remaining heat indica­tor lights up on the display to alert you of the hot surface.
Avoid touching the hob surface over the cooking area. Please pay special attention to
children.

When the

is lit on the display, it is still possible to start cooking again; just operate the

cooking zone as indicated in the chapter

POWER IGNITION AND ADJUSTMENT OF A

COOKING ZONE

.

COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION COOKING

The induction cooking system OPERATES ONLY if using correct cookware suitable for
induction cooking.
The bottom of the pan has to be ferromagnetic to generate the electromagnetic eld ne­cessary for the heating process (meaning a magnet has to stick to the bottom of the pan).

Pans made from the following materials are not suitable:

• glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, stoneware;

• pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom.

To check if a pan is suitable or not:

• test the bottom of the pan with a magnet: if the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.

• if a magnet is not available pour a small amount of water inside the pan and place the

pan on a cooking zone. Switch on the cooking zone: if the symbol

(pan detection)
appears on the cooking zone display (instead of the power level), the pan is not sui­table.

Important note: the cooking zones will not operate if the pan diameter is too small (
pan detection symbol will appear on the cooking zone display). To correctly use the cooking
zones follow the indications given in the following table.

Induction cooking zone

Minimum pan diameter recommended

(referred to the bottom of the pan)

Cooking zone Ø 160 mm 110 mm

Cooking zone Ø 200 mm 145 mm

Cooking zone Ø 250 mm 180 mm

Pay attention: The pan shall always be centred over the middle of the cooking zone. It
is possible to use oversized pans but the bottom of the pan cannot touch other cooking
zones.

Always use pans with thick, completely at bottom.

Do not use pans with concave or convex bottom; these could cause overheating of the
cooking zone.

Note: Some types of pans could cause noise when used on an induction cooking zone.

The noise does not mean any failure on the appliance and does not inuence the cooking

operation.

MAXIMUM USABLE POWER FOR THE
COOKING ZONES

The left and right cooking zones are controlled
by two separate power boards.
Where a power board manages two zones
(front/rear LH zones; front/rear RH zones in
model with four zones) the maximum total po­wer per each power board is 3700 W.
Should the cooking zones of one power board
require more than 3700 W, the last selected po­wer level has priority and the power of the other
cooking zone is automatically reduced to the
remaining power available.
If this occurs, the cooking zone will display a
ashing gure for about 3 seconds before auto­matically displaying the new power level.

This means for example that:

• When setting a “Booster” programme for the second zone, the setting for the other
zone could be reduced to the remaining power available.

• When setting a “Booster” programme for a zone and then another setting on the se­cond zone, if the total power exceed 3700 W the “Booster” programme is deleted and
the power reduced to the maximum power available.

THERMAL PROTECTIONS

The induction hob is tted with safety devices to protect the electronic system and to pro­tect each cooking zone from overheating.
In case of overheating, one of the following automatic functions could be started by the
electronic system:

• “Booster” program deleted and power reduced.

• One or more cooking zone switched Off.

• Cooling fan motor of the induction unit switched On.

ADVICE FOR SAFE USE OF THE HOB

• Before switching on make sure that
you have the correct cooking zone for
the hotplate chosen. It is advisable
to put the pan on the hotplate before
switching on and to take it away after
switching off.

• Use cookware with at and even bot­toms. Uneven bottoms can scratch the
glass ceramic surfaces. Be careful that
the bottom is clean and dry.

• Do not leave wet or damp lids on the
hob.

• The glass-ceramic surface and pans
must be clean. Carefully eliminate any
food remains (especially containing
sugar), dirt etc. with the aid of a clean­sing agent.

• Make sure that the handles of cookwa­re do not stick out over the edge of the
hob, to avoid them being knocked over
by accident. This also makes it more

difcult for children to reach the co­oking vessels.

• Do not lean over the cooking zones
when they are switched on.

• Do not drop heavy or sharp objects on
the glass ceramic cooktop. If the sur-

face is broken or damaged unplug
the cooktop and contact the after­sales service.

• Do not put aluminium foil or plastic
objects on the cooking zones when
they are hot.

• Follow the cleaning instructions care­fully.

DO NOT USE PANS WITH ROUGH

CIRCULAR MACHINED BASE.

GENERAL ADVICE

• Before you begin cleaning, you must ensure that the appliance is switched off
and disconnected from the electrical power supply.

• It is advisable to clean when the appliance is cold.

• Avoid leaving alkaline or acidic substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc.) on the surfaces.

• Avoid using cleaning products with a chlorine or acidic base.

• Do not use a steam cleaner because the moisture can get into the appliance thus
make it unsafe.

• Important: The use of suitable protective clothing/gloves is recommended when
handling or cleaning of this appliance.

• Do not scratch the cooktop with cutting or sharp objects.

WARNING!
When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for
this type of product category. However special care should be taken around the un­derneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be touched and
may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.

CLEANING THE CERAMIC HOB

• Remove spillages and other types of incrustations.

• Dust or food particles can be removed with a damp cloth.

• If you use a detergent, please make sure that it is not abrasive or scouring. Abrasive

or scouring powders can damage the glass surface of the hob.

• All traces of the cleaner must be removed with a damp cloth.

• Dust, fat and liquids from food that has boiled over must be removed as soon as possible.

• If they are allowed to harden they become increasingly difcult to remove.

 This is especially true in the case of sugar/syrup mixtures which could permanently pit

the surface of the hob if left to burn on it.

• If any of these products has melted on
the ceramic surface, you should remove
it immediately (when the surface is still
hot) by using a proper scraper to avoid
any permanent damage to the surface
of the hob.

• Do not put articles on the hob which can
melt: i.e plastic, aluminium foil, sugar,
sugar syrup mixtures etc.

• Avoid using a knife or other sharp uten­sil as these may damage the ceramic
surface.

• Do not use steel wool or an abrasive
sponge which could scratch the surface
permanently.

FITTING REQUIREMENTS

This cooktop can be built into a working surface 30 to 40 mm thick and 600 mm deep.

In order to install the ceramic hob into the kitchen xture, a hole with the dimensions shown
in gure 4.1 has to be made, keeping in consideration the following:

• The cooktop shall not be installed directly above a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing

machine or clothes dryer, as the humidity may damage the cooktop electronics.

• If the cooktop is installed above an oven, the oven shall be provided with cooling fan.
The two appliances should be connected to the electrical supply with independent
connections.

• IMPORTANT WARNING! This cooktop requires adequate supply of fresh, cool
air to fully function. The base of the cooktop must have direct unrestricted ven­tilation to the room where the cooktop is installed. Follow the requirements of

gure 4.3 or 4.4.

• There must be a distance of at least 650 mm between the hob and any wall cupboard
or extractor hood positioned immediately above (see g. 4.2).

• We would point out that the adhesive which bonds the plastic laminate to the furniture

must withstand temperatures not less than 150° C to avoid delamination.

• The walls of the units must be capable of resisting temperatures of 75 °C above
room temperature.

• Do not seal the cooktop into the benchtop with silicone or glue; this makes future ser-
vicing difcult. The manufacturer will not cover the costs of removing the cooktop, or of

damage caused by this removal.

• The walls surrounding the cooktop must be made of heat-resistant material.

• Do not install the appliance near inammable materials (eg. curtains).

FASTENING THE COOKTOP

Each cooktop is provided with an installation kit including brackets and screws for fastening
the cooktop to benches from 30 to 40 mm thick.
The kit includes four “F” brackets and four self-threading screws “S” (g. 4.6).

• Cut the unit according to the dimensions in g. 4.1.

• Turn the hob upside down and rest the glass side on a soft surface.

• Spread the seal “G” around the edge of the hob (g. 4.5).

• Fasten the brackets “F” to the appropriate socket holes, without tightening the screws

“S” for the moment. Make sure that the tabs are mounted correctly, as shown. Rotate
the tabs so that the cooktop can be put into the cutout.

• Put the cooktop into the cutout and position it correctly.

• Put the brackets “F” into place; tooth “A” of the brackets should go into the hole (g.

4.6).

• Tighten screws “S” until the cooktop is completely secured to the bench.

• Using a sharp cutter or trimmer knife, trim the excess sealing material around the edge

of the cooktop. Take care not to damage the workbench.

Connection to a good earth wiring system is absolutely essential.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any inconvenience caused by
failure to comply with this rule.

If the hob surface is cracked disconnect the appliance from the mains and con­tact the After-Sales Service.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Connection to the electric power supply must be carried out by a qualied technician

and following the appropriate safety regulations.

• The appliance must be connected to the mains checking that the voltage correspon­ds to the value given in the rating plate and that the electrical cable sections can

withstand the load specied on the plate.

• The appliance can be connected directly to the mains placing a two pole switch with

minimum opening between the contacts of 3 mm between the appliance and the mains.

• The power supply cable must not touch the hot parts and must be positioned so that it
does not exceed 50°C above ambient.

• Once the appliance has been installed, the switch must always be in a accessible
position.

N.B. For connections to the mains power supply, never use adaptors, reductions or

multiple power points as these may overheat and catch re.

In the event that installation should require modications to the mains supply wiring sy­stem, it is recommended that a qualied technician be called to carry out substitution.

He should also check that the domestic electrical system is suitable for the power absorbed
by the appliance.
