SAFETY INFORMATION

ENGLISH 3

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.

CHILDREN AND VULNERABLE PEOPLE SAFETY

WARNING!

Risk of suffocation, injury or permanent disability.

• Do not let persons, children included, with reduced physical sensory, reduced mental functions or lack of experience and knowledge use the appliance. They must have supervision or instruction for the operation of the appliance by a person who is responsible for their safety.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.

• Keep all packaging away from children.

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

INSTALLATION

WARNING!

Only a qualified person must install this appliance.

• Remove all the packaging.

• Do not install or use a damaged appliance.

• Obey the installation instruction supplied 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 drawers make sure that the space, between the bottom of the appliance and the upper drawer, is sufficient for air circulation.

• Make sure that the ventilation space of 5 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 temperature on the underside of the appliance exceeds 95°C. To avoid hazard underbench access must be restricted. If the hob is not installed above an oven we recommend to install a noncombustible separation panel underneath the appliance.

Electrical connection

WARNING!

Risk of fire and electrical shock.

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

• Before every wiring make sure the main terminal of the appliance is not live.

• Make sure the appliance is installed correctly. Loose and incorrect plug and socket can make the terminal become too hot.

• Make sure that a shock protection is installed.

• Do not let the electricity bounds touch the appliance or hot cookware, when you connect the appliance to the near sockets.

• Do not let the electricity bounds tangle.

• Use a strain relief clamp on cable.

• Use the correct mains cable.

• Make sure not to cause damage to the mains plug and 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

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING!

Risk of damage to the appliance.

• Clean regularly the appliance to prevent the deterioration of the surface material.

• Do not use water spray and steam to clean the appliance.

• Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth. Only use neutral detergents. Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads, solvents or metal objects.

DISPOSAL

WARNING!

Risk of injury or suffocation.

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains supply.

• Cut off the mains cable and discard it.

• 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.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

ENGLISH 11

INDUCTION COOKING ZONES

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

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.

USE OF THE COOKING ZONES

IMPORTANT

Put the cookware on the cross which is on the surface that you cook. Cover the cross fully. The magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must be 125 mm minimum. Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of the cookware automatically. You can cook with the large cookware on two cooking zones at the same time.

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.

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.

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 data chapter.

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.

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.

Information on acrylamides

Important! According to the newest

scientific knowledge, if you brown food (specially the one which contains starch), acrylamides can pose a health risk. Thus, we recommend that you cook at the lowest temperatures and do not brown food too much.
