Electrical Connection

Important

After installation and connecting, the cable must be placed

1 This hob must be earthed.

Electrical Requirements

Any permanent electrical installation must comply with the
latest I.E.E. Regulations and local Electricity Board regula­tions. For your own safety this should be undertaken by a
qualified electrician, e.g. your local Electricity Board, or a
contractor who is on the roll of the National Inspection
Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC).

Electrical Connection

The hob is designed to be connected to 230 V (50 Hz) elec­tricity supply. Before connecting to the mains supply ensure
that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate underneath the hob.

so that it cannot at any point reach a temperature of more
than 60°C above the ambient temperature.

Before the hob is connected, check that the main fuse and
the domestic installation can support the load; and that the
power supply is properly earthed.

The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility should these
safety measures not be carried out.

For UK only

It is necessary that you install a double pole switch between
the hob and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum
gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suit­able for the required load in compliance with the current
rules.

1 The switch must not break the yellow and

green earth cable at any point.
It is necessary that the yellow / green earth
wire is about 2 cm longer than the live and
neutral ones.

3 Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping

food warm.

The induction cooking zones create the heat required
for cooking directly in the base of the cookware. The glass
ceramic is merely heated by the residual heat of the cook­ware.
The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon
the temperature of the electronics.

the front induction cooking zones, e.g. to bring a large vol­ume of water to the boil.
The power function is activated for 8 minutes for the front
left cooking zone and for 5 minutes for the front right cook­ing zone. After these times, the induction cooking zones au­tomatically return to cooking level .

• If after switching on the cooking surface, a heat setting is
not set for a cooking zone within approx. 10 seconds, the
cooking surface automatically switches itself off.

• If all cooking zones are switched off, the cooking surface
automatically switches itself off after approx. 10 seconds.

When the hob is first installed

1 Remove all packaging, both inside and outside the

hob including the advertising labels and any protec­tive film, before using the hob.

3 When a cooking zone is switched on, it may hum

briefly. This is a characteristic of all ceramic glass
cooking zones and does not impair either the func­tion or the life of the appliance.

Hints and Tips on Cooking and Frying

3 Information about acrylamides

According to the latest scientific research, intensive
browning of food, especially in products containing
starch, may present a health risk due to acrylamide.
Therefore we recommend cooking at low tempera­tures and not browning foods too much.

Cookware for induction cooking zones

Cookware material

Cookware material Suitable

Steel, enamelled steel yes

Cast iron yes

Stainless steel if appropriately labelled by the manufacturer

Aluminium, copper, brass ---

Glass, ceramic, porcelain ---

3 Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as

suitable by the manufacturer.

Suitability test

Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …

• ... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to heat
setting 9 is heated within a short time.

• ... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.

3 Certain cookware can make noises when being used

on induction cooking zones. These noises are not a
fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in
any way.

Bottom of the cookware

The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as
possible.

Pan size

Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of
the bottom of the cookware up to a certain limit. However
the magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware must have
a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cook­ing zone.

Diameter of cooking zone [mm] Minimum diameter of dish base [mm]

180 145

145 120

3 The cookware must be placed centrally on the cook-

ing zone.

Tips on energy saving

2 Place cookware on the cooking zone before it is

switched on.

2 If possible, always place a lid on the cookware.

Something Not Working

If the hob is not working correctly, please carry out the following checks, before contacting your local Service Force repair
agent.
In the event of any other fault codes that arise, disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply for a few seconds (take out
the fuse from the housing wiring system). If the fault code is displayed again, please call your local Service Force repair agent and
report the fault code.

IMPORTANT: If you call out an engineer to a fault listed below, or to repair a fault caused by incorrect use or installation, a
charge will be made even if the appliance is under guarantee.
