PRODUCT OVERVIEW
IMPORTANT (INT61-13A): Product applies to 3000W, when power is more than 3000W, shift can't be increased further.
Before Using Your New Induction Hob
• Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
•Remove any protective film that may still be on your induction hob.
Using the Touch Controls
• The controls respond to touch so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
•Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
•You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry and that there are no objects (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them.
Even a thin layer of water may make the controls difficult to operate.
Choosing the Right Cookware
• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on
the bottom of the pan.
•You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of
the pan.
If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
•If you do not have a magnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2.If “ ” does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
ookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without a
• C
magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic and earthenware.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base. Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat on
the glass and is the same size as the cooking zone. Using a pot that is slightly wider means energy will be used at its
maximum efficiency. If you use a smaller pot, efficiency could be less than expected. Pots with a diameter of less than
140 mm could be undetected by the hob if placed on the larger cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking
zone. Always lift pans off the induction hob – do not slide as they may scratch the glass.
Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as the oil and fat heat up very quickly, At extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite
spontaneously and this presents a serious fire risk.
Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors, including your cookware and
the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the induction hob to find the settings that best suit you.
Care and cleaning
1. Everyday soiling on glass (fingerprints, marks, stains left by food of non-sugary spill overs on the glass).
1) Switch off the power to the cooktop.
2) Apply a cooktop cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3) Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
4) Switch the power to the cooktop back on.
When the power to the cooktop is switched off, there will be no hot surface indication but the cooking zones may
still be hot! Take extreme care.
Heavy-duty or some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the glass surface, so please
do check that they are suitable for induction hob care before use. Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: th
lass may become stained.
g
2. Boil-overs, melts and hot sugary spills on the glass
Remove these immediately with a palette knife or razor blade scraper suitable for induction glass cooktops but
beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:
1). Switch off the power to the cooktop via the isolation switch.
2). Hold the blade or utensil at a 30°angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the cooktop.
3). Clean the soiling or spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.
4). Follow steps 2 to 4 for everyday soiling on glass above.
Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or overspills as soon as possible. If left to cool on the glass, they
may be difficult to remove or even permanently damage the glass surface. Cut hazard: when the safety cover is
retracted, use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children.
e
3. Over Spills on the touch controls
1). Switch off the power to the cooktop.
2). Soak up the spill.
3). Wipe the touch control area with a clean damp sponge or cloth.
4). Wipe the area completely dry with a paper towel.
5). Switch the power to the cooktop back on.
The cooktop may beep and turn itself off, and the touch controls may not function while there is liquid on them.
Make sure you wipe the touch control area dry before turning the cooktop back on.
Hints and Tips
1. The induction hob cannot be turned on.
Make sure the induction hob is connected to the power supply and that it is switched on.
Check whether there is a power outage in your home or local area. If you’ve checked everything and the problem
persists, call a qualified technician.
2. The touch controls are unresponsive.
The controls are locked: Unlock the controls. See section using your induction cooktop for instructions.
3. The touch controls are difficult to operate.
There may be a slight film of water over the controls or you may be using the tip of your finger when touching the
controls:
Make sure the touch control area is dry and use the ball of your finger when touching the controls.
6. The induction hob makes a low humming noise when used on a high heat setting.
This is caused by the technology of induction cooking: This is normal, the noise should quieten down or disappear
completely when you decrease the heat setting.
7. Fan noise coming from the induction hob.
A cooling fan built into your induction hob has come on to prevent the electronics from overheating. It may continue to
run even after you’ve turned the induction hob off: This is normal and needs no action. Do not switch the power to the
induction hob off at the wall while the fan is running.
8. Pans do not become hot and appears in the display.
The induction hob cannot detect the pan because it is not suitable for induction cooking. The induction hob cannot
detect the pan because it is too small for the cooking zone or not properly centred on it: Use cookware suitable for
induction cooking. See section “Choosing the Right Cookware”. Centre the pan and make sure that its base matches
the size of the cooking zone.
9. The induction hob or a cooking zone has turned itself off unexpectedly, a tone sounds and an error code is
displayed (typically alternating with one or two digits in the cooking timer display).
Technical fault: Please note down the error letters and numbers, switch the power to the induction hob off at the wall,
and contact a qualified technician.
4. The glass is being scratched.
Tough-edged cookware. Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used: Use cookware with flat and
smooth bases. See “Choosing the Right Cookware” and “Care and Cleaning” for further advice.
5. Some pans make crackling or clicking noises.
This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrating differently): This is
no
rmal, the noise should quieten down or disappear completely.
Failure Display and Inspection: If an abnormality comes up, the induction hob will automatically enter the protective state and display
corresponding protective codes:
The above are the judgment and inspection of common failures.
Please do not disassemble the unit by yourself to avoid any danger or damage to the induction hob.
Installation
Selection of Installation Equipment
Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing. For the purpose of installation and use, a
minimum of 5cm space should be preserved around the hole. Ensure the thickness of the work surface is at least
35mm. Please select a heat-resistant work surface material to avoid deformation caused by the heat radiation from the
hotplate.
he hob has a special seal which prevents liquid from entering the cabinet. Follow these instructions in order to
T
correctly apply this seal: Detach the seals from their backing. Turn the hob over and correctly position the seal under
the edge of the hob so that the outer part of the seal perfectly matches the outer edge of the hob. Fix the seal to the
hob evenly and securely, pressing it firmly in place.
Make sure the induction hob is well ventilated and the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. Ensure the induction hob is in
good working order.
N
ote: The distance between the hotplate and the cupboard above should be at least 760mm.
Before you install the hob, make sure that:
• The work surface is square and level, and that no structural units interfere with the space requirements.
•The work surface is made of a heat-resistant material.
•If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
• The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and regulations.
•A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is incorporated in the permanen
ring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations.
wi
The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap contact separation in all poles (or in all
a
ctive [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements).
•The isolating switch will be easily accessible after installation.
• You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
•You use heat-resistant materials (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces surrounding the hob.
When you have installed the hob, make sure that:
• The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
•There is adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinets to the base of the hob.
•If the hob is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, the hob bottom
temperature may be too high, in order to prevent hand or other
flammable /combustion contact, a thermal protection barrier is installed
below the base of the hob.
• The isolating switch is easily accessible.
Before locating the fixing brackets
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface to prevent damage. Do not apply force onto the controls
protruding from the hob.
