If you are receiving the unit from a
transportation company, it is customer’s
obligation to inspect thepackage and note
any damage on the delivery receipt. After
delivery, have your induction cooktop
carefully unpacked, and again check forany
visible damage. If you find any damage onthe
unit at this point, immediately inform your
dealer or distributor. Although the
responsibility for shipping lies with the
carrier, your dealer/ distributor will assist you
with your claim.
If the unit is not supposed to be installed for
some time, you should keep it in its original
packaging, stored in a dry and safe place.
Read through the section of this manual
which pertains to installation, and make sure
that all of the requirements can be provided
or are already provided. Ensure that your
electric power supply is correct.
Before you install the unit, you should take a
moment to write down the information from
your nameplate and fill-out the table on page
19, for future after-sale servicing needs. This
information will be required every time you
call for any service on your unit.

/ INSTALLATION
To install the cooktop, cut out a rectangular
opening in the counter as shown on the
drawing and table below. Also, ensure that
you have a minimum of 10 mm (3/8”) of
space in the back of the unit, between the
rim and backsplash on your counter (or wall
if no backsplash) for ventilation.
A self-adhesive gasket is supplied with your
unit. Before setting the cooktop in place
install this gasket by sticking it underneath
the rim.
f your counter is produced from porous materials which tend to swell if in contact
with humidity and water, to better protect the cut-out, use proper sealants on the
edge which would prevent any penetration of humidity and water.
Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminates to prevent further chipping.
Radius corners of the cut-out and file them to ensure smooth edges and prevent
corner cracking.
Rough edges and inside corners which are not rounded as well as forced fits can
contribute to cracking of counter top laminate.
IApply the gasket only along the front rim
and on both sides. This gasket will prevent
most of the spills from entering the cabinet
below and will keep the unit in place. Once
the gasket is installed, place the cooktop in
the opening, and lay it on the rim. Do this
carefully - do not drop the unit into the cutout. Make sure that the unit is sitting
properly on its rim all around the perimeter.

During cooking, built-in fan inside the
cooktop will operate constantly to keep the
internal components cool. The air intake is
on the bottom of the cooktop box, and the
warm air exhaust is located on the front of
the rim, as shown on the schematic. If the air
intake or the exhaust is obstructed, the
cooktop safeties will either diminish the
power output or shut down the unit.
We suggest that you should periodically
check that there are no objects (dust, paper,
etc.) which could obstruct the air inlet under
your induction cooktop.
Although induction-cooktop heat rejection is
minimal and the unit does not create any
fumes in operation, such unit must be
installed underneath a properly sized
ventilation hood for exhausting any smell,
vapor and smoke created by cooking itself.
Also, a proper downdraft system can be
used for ventilation.
A minimum vertical clearance of 750 mm
[30”] is required between the top of the
cooking surface and the bottom of any
unprotected combustible material, such
as cabinets, wooden trim etc.
In the back, leave a minimum of 10 mm
[3/8”] between the cooktop edge and
adjacent vertical surfaces (backsplash,
wall, high cabinets etc.). This space is
needed for the unit to breath properly.
If a downdraft ventilation system is used,
a minimum of 6 mm (1/4”) of clearance
is required between the rear edge of the
cooktop and the downdraft snorkel.
Leave a minimum of 50 mm [2”]
underneath the unit for the air intake.

An adequate electrical supply must be provided for this unit. All wire connections and
grounding must be done in accordance with
local electrical codes, or if these codes are
not established, then with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 in the US , or
with the Canadian Electrical Code, CAN/CSA
C22.1, in Canada.
This unit comes equipped with three connection wires in a flexible conduit. The conduit
must be routed and properly connected to an
approved, owner-supplied, electrical, wall
junction-box. An approved connector must be
used for connecting the conduit to the junction box. A three wire, 2 poles, 240 V, 60 Hz
service with minimum 40 A circuit protector
must be provided. The red and the black wire
from the unit are to be connected to the service (”hot”) wires, and the green wire is to be
connected to the ground conductor.
The circuit protector for the unit should be
properly marked inside electric panel and anybody using the unit, or technician servicing
the unit, should be advised of circuit protector’s location, so that the power to the unit can
be disconnected when necessary.
Once the unit is properly fitted and connected
to the electrical power supply, turn the unit on
to ensure that all elements and controls are
operating well.
Note that your unit is designed for a stabile
and steady 240 V supply and the manufacturer, its distributors and dealers cannot be held
responsible for any unit malfunction due to an
inadequate electrical supply (inadequate cable size, low voltage, power surge etc). Furthermore, if your residence has only a 208 V
supply system, and if the voltage frequently
fluctuates, your cooktop may not function properly
It is recommended that the connection to
electrical supply is done by a qualified electrician.
If there is any visible physical damage on the
conduit and the wires, the unit must not be
connected to the mains. A qualified electrician
or approved service agent should be called in
to replace the wires and the conduit.

Your induction-cooking unit has been
designed for residential use and food
preparation, and all of the safety parameters
have been rectified accordingly.
The unit incorporates numerous safety
devices and controls, and a few devices will
be mentioned here.
- A number of sensors monitor temperature
of internal components. If any of these
sensors senses that the component
temperature is above the limit, the power
output of the unit will automatically be
reduced, allowing the component to cool
down. Once this is achieved, the unit will
continue to operate normally at the output
level set initially by the operator.
- Each induction coil is equipped with a
sensor which is continuously monitoring the
temperature of the bottom of the pan to
prevent the pan from overheating.
- Each induction coil is equipped with a pan
sensing device. This device will not allow the
heating element to turn on unless it senses
a cooking utensil on the coil covering
enough surface area. The indication that the
coil is not running is the flashing of the
digital display. Once the pan is put properly
on the coil, the digital display will become
steady. Note that a small object such as a
fork, a spoon, a piece of jewelry, etc. will not
be mistaken for a cooking utensil, and it will
not trigger this sensor. Moreover, this device
will distinguish between cooking utensils
which are and are not suitable for induction
cooking. If a cooking utensil which is not
suitable for induction cooking is placed on a
coil there will be no power output on the
coil.
- If an operator leans on the keypad by
chance for more then ten seconds, controls
will disable the heating section of the unit.
This occurrence is called ‘long press’ and
when it happens “-” signs will appear on
power displays. The unit will act the same if
there is an accumulation of some liquid on
the keypad area, or if a damp cloth is left
sitting on the keypad. The section will
become operational again once the spill or
the object/hand is removed, and the
element turned back on.
In an effort of constantly improving our
products, we reserve the right to make any
changes to internal components, as well as,
to make any(cosmetic) modifications on the
outside frame.
This unit does not contain any asbestos or
asbestos based components.
This unit has been tested and certified under
FCC part 15 and CFR Title 47, Part 18, for
electromagnetic interference.
The users with heart pacemakers must
consult with the pacemaker manufacturer
prior to using this cooktop which
incorporates induction heating source.
If a crack appears in the glass surface, disconnect the unit immediately to avoid any risk
of electric shock. If the unit is connected directly to supply inside a junction box, then
disconnect its breaker, or remove fuses manually.
Do not re-use your cooktop until the glass top is changed.
When cooking never use aluminum foil and never place products wrapped in aluminum foil, nor
products deep-frozen in aluminum packs on the hob. Aluminum foil could melt and damage
vitroceramic glass surface beyond repair.

For a proper choice of utensils, please refer to “Utensils for Your Induction”
When using induction elements, some utensils may produce
faint humming sound. This is a normal occurrence - the noise
is a result of vibrations caused by induced currents.
When an induction element - also called: ‘a
heating zone’, or simply: ‘a coil’ - is switched
on, the appropriate utensil is used, and a desired level of heating power selected, the electronic circuit unit (‘induction generator’ or ‘inverter’) powers up the induction coil which
creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field
continuously changes in terms of frequency
and intensity, and this creates induced currents in the bottom of the utensil and ultimately results in heat. The heat is transferred directly to the food being cooked.
Thus, induction heat makes the utensil a direct source of heat, featuring high level of efficiency with extremely low energy loss and unparalleled heating level control.
With induction cooking there is very little ‘heating inertia’. Induction cooking elements do
not incorporate a heat generating element unlike convectional electric rings, halogen or
radiant elements etc. - therefore, heat levels
can be changed very quickly.
Energy efficiency for induction is within range
of 90-95%, compared with 55-65% for conventional and radiant element, or 45% - 55% for
gas fueled burners. The energy efficiency
contributes to substantial energy savings,
both beneficial to the owner as well as the environment.
Induction cooking elements are sensitive to
the utensil type being used :
- if there is no utensil placed on the coil, or if
the utensil is not of induction grade, there will
be no power emitted by the coil;
- if the utensil is placed partially on the coil, or
if it is smaller than the coil, the internal sensors will reduce power to the coil; The Principle of Induction
- if the utensil is fully removed from the coil,
the power output will be instantaneously reduced to ‘0’, and, eventually, the controls will
turn the element off after a minute, unless the
utensil is returned back onto the coil.
When compared to the other methods of cooking, induction cooking has a very low level
of ambient heat, thus makes cooking more
pleasurable, with a reduced need for ventilation.
Finally, the vitroceramic glass as a cooking
surface barely becomes hot and this makes
cleaning much easier.
