1. SAFETY INFORMATION

Before the installation and use of the appliance, carefully
read the supplied instructions. The manufacturer is not
responsible if an incorrect installation and use causes in­juries and damages. Always keep the instructions with
the appliance for future reference.

1.1 Children and vulnerable people safety

WARNING!

Risk of suffocation, injury or permanent disability.

• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8
years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they are supervised by an adult or a per­son who is responsible for their safety.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.

• Keep all packaging away from children.

• Keep children and pets away from the appliance when
it operates or when it cools down. Accessible parts are
hot.

• If the appliance has a child safety device, we recom­mend that you activate it.

• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.

ENGLISH 3

1.2 General Safety

• The appliance and its accessible parts become hot
during use. Do not touch the heating elements.

• Do not operate the appliance by means of an external
timer or separate remote-control system.

• Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in fire.

• Never try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off

• Do not store items on the cooking surfaces.

• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.

• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids

• If the glass ceramic surface is cracked, switch off the

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 Installation

WARNING!

Only a qualified person must in­stall this appliance.

• Remove all the packaging.

• Do not install or use a damaged appli-

ance.

• Obey the installation instruction sup-

plied with the appliance.

• Keep the minimum distance from the

other appliances and units.

• Always be careful when you move the

appliance because it is heavy. Always
wear safety gloves.

• Seal the cut surfaces with a sealant to

prevent moisture to cause swelling.

• Protect the bottom of the appliance

from steam and moisture.

• Do not install the appliance adjacent to

a door or under a window. This pre­vents hot cookware to fall from the ap­pliance when the door or the window is
opened.

• If the appliance is installed above draw-

ers make sure that the space, between
the bottom of the appliance and the up-

per drawer, is sufficient for air circula­tion.

• Make sure that the ventilation space of
2 mm, between the worktop and the
front of the below unit, is free. The war­ranty does not cover damages caused
by the lack of an adequate ventilation
space.

• The bottom of the appliance can get
hot. We recommend to install a non­combustile separation panel under the
appliance to prevent access to the bot­tom.

Electrical connection

WARNING!

Risk of fire and electrical shock.

• All electrical connections must be made
by a qualified electrician.

• The appliance must be earthed.

• Before carrying out any operation make
sure that the appliance is disconnected
from the power supply.

• Use the correct electricity mains cable.

• Do not let the electricity mains cable
tangle.

• Make sure the mains cable or plug (if
applicable) does not touch the hot ap-

pliance or hot cookware, when you
connect the appliance to the near sock­ets

• Make sure the appliance is installed
correctly. Loose and incorrect electricity
mains cable or plug (if applicable) can
make the terminal become too hot.

• Make sure that a shock protection is in­stalled.

• Use the strain relief clamp on cable.

• Make sure not to cause damage to the
mains plug (if applicable) or to the
mains cable. Contact the Service or an
electrician to change a damaged mains
cable.

• The electrical installation must have an
isolation device which lets you discon­nect the appliance from the mains at all
poles. The isolation device must have a
contact opening width of minimum 3
mm.

• Use only correct isolation devices: line
protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw type
fuses removed from the holder), earth
leakage trips and contactors.

2.2 Use

WARNING!

Risk of injury, burns or electric
shock.

• Use this appliance in a household envi­ronment.

• Do not change the specification of this
appliance.

• Do not use an external timer or a sepa­rate remote-control system to operate
the appliance.

• Do not let the appliance stay unatten­ded during operation.

• Do not operate the appliance with wet
hands or when it has contact with wa­ter.

• Do not put cutlery or saucepan lids on
the cooking zones. They can become
hot.

• Set the cooking zone to “off” after each
use. Do not rely on the pan detector.

• Do not use the appliance as a work
surface or as a storage surface.

• If there is a crack on the surface, dis­connect power supply to prevent the
electrical shock.

ENGLISH 5

• Users with a pacemaker must keep a
distance of minimum 30 cm from the
induction cooking zones when the ap­pliance is in operation.

WARNING!

Risk of fire or explosion.

• Fats and oil when heated can release
flammable vapours. Keep flames or
heated objects away from fats and oils
when you cook with them.

• The vapours that very hot oil releases
can cause spontaneous combustion.

• Used oil, that can contain food rem­nants, can cause fire at a lower temper­ature than oil used for the first time.

• Do not put flammable products or items
that are wet with flammable products
in, near or on the appliance.

• Do not try to extinguish a fire with wa­ter. Disconnect the appliance and cover
the flame with a lid or a fire blanket.

WARNING!

Risk of damage to the appliance.

• Do not keep hot cookware on the con­trol panel.

• Do not let cookware to boil dry.

• Be careful not let objects or cookware
fall on the appliance. The surface can
be damaged.

• Do not activate the cooking zones with
empty cookware or without cookware.

• Do not put aluminium foil on the appli­ance.

• Cookware made of cast iron, aluminium
or with a damaged bottom can cause
scratches on the glass ceramic. Always
lift these objects up when you have to
move them on the cooking surface.

5. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

INDUCTION COOKING ZONES

For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in
the cookware very quickly.

5.1 Cookware for induction
cooking zones

Use the induction cooking zones
with correct cookware.

Cookware material

• correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, the bottom made
of multi-layer (with correct mark from a
manufacturer).

• not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.

Cookware is correct for an induction
hob if …

• ... some water boils very quickly on a
zone set to the highest heat setting.

• ... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of
the cookware.

The bottom of the cookware

must be as thick and flat as possi­ble.

Cookware dimensions: induction cook­ing zones adapt to the dimension of the
bottom of the cookware automatically to
some limit.

5.2 The noises during operation

If you can hear

• crack noise: cookware is made of dif­ferent materials (Sandwich construc­tion).

• whistle sound: you use one or more
cooking zones with high power levels
and the cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).

• humming: you use high power levels.

• clicking: electric switching occurs.

• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.

The noises are normal and do not re­fer to appliance malfunction.

5.3 Energy saving

How to save energy

• If it is possible, always put the lids on
the cookware.

• Put cookware on a cooking zone be­fore you start it.

• Use the residual heat to keep the food
warm or to melt it.

He

Use to: Time Hints Nominal

The cooking zone efficiency

The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The cook­ware with a smaller diameter than the
minimum receives only a part of the pow­er generated by the cooking zone. For the
minimum diameters see the Technical In­formation chapter.

5.4 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)

To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before
the count down timer sounds. The
difference in the operation time
depends on the heat setting level
and the length of the cooking op­eration.

5.5 The Examples of cooking
applications

The relation between the heat setting and
the cooking zone consumption of power
is not linear.
When you increase the heat setting it is
not proportional to the increase of the
cooking zone consumption of power.
It means that the cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a half
of its power.
