Installation

Before operating your new appliance please read

this instruction booklet carefully. It contains important information concerning the safe operation, installation and maintenance of the appliance.

Please keep these operating instructions for future

reference. Pass them on to any new owners of the appliance.

Positioning

Keep all packaging material out of the reach of children. It may present a choking or suffocation hazard (see Precautions and tips).

The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with the instructions provided. Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and animals or may damage property.

Built-in appliance

Use a suitable cabinet to ensure that the appliance functions properly.

• The supporting surface must be heat-resistant up to

a temperature of approximately 100°C.

• If the appliance is to be installed above an oven,

the oven must be equipped with a forced ventilation cooling system.

• Avoid installing the hob above a dishwasher: if this

cannot be avoided, place a waterproof separation device between the two appliances.

• Depending on the hob you want to install, the

cabinet must have the following dimensions (see  gure):

Ventilation

To allow adequate ventilation and to avoid overheating of the surrounding surfaces the hob should be positioned as follows:

• At a minimum distance of 40 mm from the back

panel or any other vertical surfaces.

• So that a minimum distance of 20 mm is maintained

between the installation cavity and the cabinet underneath.

• Kitchen cabinets adjacent to the appliance and taller

than the top of the hob must be at least 600 mm from the edge of the hob.

Fixing

The appliance must be installed

on a perfectly level supporting surface. Any deformities caused by improper fixing could affect the features and operation of the hob. The thickness of the supporting surface

into account when choosing

the length of the screws for

the fixing hooks:

• 30 mm thick: 23 mm screws

• 40 mm thick: 13 mm screws Fix the hob as follows:

1. Use short flat-bottomed screws to fix the 4 alignment springs in the holes provided at the central point of each side of the hob.

2. Place the hob in the cavity, make sure it is in a central position and push down on the whole perimeter until the hob is stuck to the supporting surface.

3. For hobs with raised sides: After inserting the hob into its cavity, insert the 4 fixing hooks (each has its own pin) into the lower edges of the hob, using the long pointed screws to fix them in place, until the glass is stuck to the supporting surface.

The screws for the alignment springs must remain

accessible.

In order to adhere to safety standards, the appliance

must not come into contact with electrical parts once it has been installed.

All parts which ensure the safe operation of the

appliance must not be removable without the aid of a tool.

Electrical connection

The electrical connection for the hob and for any builtin oven must be carried out separately, both for safety purposes and to make extracting the oven easier.

Connecting the electricity supply cable to the mains

If the appliance is being connected directly to the electricity mains an omnipolar switch must be installed with a minimum opening of 3 mm between contacts.

! The installer must ensure that the correct electrical

connection has been made and that it is fully compliant with safety regulations.

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with the law.

• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the appliance itself.

• The voltage falls within the range of values indicated on the data plate.

• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.

Single-phase connection

The hob is equipped with a pre-connected electricity supply cable, which is designed for single-phase connection. Connect the wires in accordance with the instructions given in the following table and diagrams:

Other types of connection

If the mains supply corresponds with one of the following:

Voltage and mains frequency

Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply

cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

The cable must not be bent or compressed. The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by

authorised technicians only.

The manufacturer declines any liability should these

safety measures not be observed.

! Do not remove or replace the power supply cable for any reason. Its removal or replacement will void the warranty and the CE marking. INDESIT does not assume liability for accidents or damage arising from replacement/removal of the original power supply cable. Replacement can only be accepted when carried out by personnel authorised by INDESIT and using an original spare part.

Start-up and use

The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you remove these with a special nonabrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.

Switching on the hob

To switch the hob on, press and hold the button for approximately one second.

A few seconds after the hob is connected to the electricity

supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may now be switched on.

Types of noise during normal hob operation:

• Buzz: due to the vibration of the metallic parts that

make up the induction element and the pot; it is generated by the electromagnetic field required for heating and increases as the power of the induction element increases.

• Soft whistle: heard when the pot placed on the

heating zone is empty; the noise disappears once food or water is placed into the pot.

• Crackle: produced by the vibration of materials on

the bottom of the pot due to the flow of parasitic currents caused by electromagnetic fields (induction); can be more or less intense depending on the material making up the bottom of the pot, and decreases as the pot dimensions increase.

• Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements of

the same group function simultaneously at maximum power and/or when the booster function is set on the larger element while the other is auto-adjusted. Noise is reduced by decreasing the power level of the auto-adjusted induction element; pot bottom layers made of different kinds of materials are among the main causes of this noise.

• Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob

functions correctly and to safeguard the electronic unit from possible overheating. The fan functions at maximum power when the large induction element is at maximum power or when the booster function is on; in all other cases, it works at average power depending on the temperature detected. Furthermore, the fan may continue to work even after switching the hob off, if the

temperature detected is high. The types of noise listed above are due to induction technology and are not necessarily operational faults.

Switching on the cooking zones

! Use cookware made from materials which are compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic material). We especially recommend pans made from: cast iron, coated steel or special stainless steel adapted for induction. Use a magnet to test the compatibility of the cookware.

In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:

• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the cooking zone.

• Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.

Overheating protection

If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches off

automatically and

by a flashing number. When the temperature has reached a suitable level, this message disappears and the hob may be used again.

Safety switch

The appliance has a safety switch which automatically switches the cooking zones off after they have been in operation for a certain amount of time at a particular power level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the display shows “0”. For example: the right rear hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after 5 hours of continuous operation, while the front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 8 hours.

• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean

• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used

Safety devices

Pan sensor

Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor device. The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with suitable measurements for the cooking zone is placed on it. If the indicator light is flashing, it may indicate:

• An incompatible pan

• A pan whose diameter is too small

• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.

and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.

on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly.

Buzzer

This can also indicate several irregularities:

• An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on the control panel for more than 10 seconds.

• Something has been spilt on the control panel.

• A button has been pressed for too long. All of the above situations may cause the buzzer to sound. Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the buzzer. If the cause of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will switch off.
