supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with

the appliance.

If the glass surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the

possibility of electric shock.

• Metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be

OPERATION

Cooking on Induction

Cooking with an Induction Hob is different to a conventional hob which has either heating
elements or hotplates. An induction hob uses powerful electro magnets which are located below
the glass surface. When a pan manufactured from magnetic material, is placed directly above
an electro-magnet, energy is induced into the metal of the pan. This energy causes the metal
pan to become hot and is sufficient to provide the heat for cooking. Since heat for cooking is
created inside the pan, only the area of glass in direct contact with the pan will become hot.

To ensure you achieve maximum cooking efficiency from your Induction hob we recommend the
use of pans which are specifically made for this type of appliance. A good guide is to choose
pans which bear the symbol ‘Class Induction’. If however you wish to use your existing pans
and are unsure if they are suitable you can check if they are the correct type by using a magnet.
If the magnet will attach to the base then the pan is suitable for induction. Please ensure,
regardless of pan type (stainless, enamelled steel, cast iron, etc) the pan base is smooth and
flat to avoid the risk of scatching the glass. Never slide the pan across the glass surface.

We recommend the following pan sizes for each Heat Zone:­ Heat Zone 1 – Ø135mm to Ø220mm
Heat Zone 2 – Ø90mm to Ø160mm

Glass, ceramic or earthenware pans, aluminium (unless they have a special
base), copper pans and some non-magnetic stainless steel pans are not suitable
for use on Induction hobs.

Using the Hob

Each heating zone on the hob can be controlled individually using the touch controls.
Illuminated displays for both zones provide information on power settings, timer function,
pause/resume, power boost, etc. The following chart provides information on how to operate
and choose the various functions available.

settings. Remove spills immediately and keep area clean.

Do’s and Don’ts

DO Read the instructions carefully before using the appliance.
DO Clean the appliance regularly
DO Remove spills as soon as they occur
DO Check controls are in the OFF position when finished
DO Use the correct type pans and always lift the pan, sliding may cause scratches.

DO NOT Allow children near the appliance when in use. Turn pan handles away from the

front so that they cannot be caught accidentally.
DO NOT Use steam cleaners or other types of power cleaners.
DO NOT Use abrasive cleaners, wire wool, bleaches, stain removers or any implement

which will damage the glass.
DO NOT Use kitchen foil on the hob.
DO NOT Heat sealed tins of food, they may explode.
DO NOT Leave empty pans on a heat zone.

This Induction Hob complies with the applicable standards on
electromagnetic interference and complies fully with the European
Directive 89/336/EEC. It should not interfere with other electrical equipment
providing they also comply to the regulations.
Persons who have a heart pacemaker or other electrical implant should
clarify with their doctor or the producer of the implant, whether those units
comply with the regulations.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Before using the hob for the first time, check the power supply is switched off, use a dampened
paper towel or clean cloth to remove any soiling or residual factory lubricants. Once clean apply
a thin coating of cleaner conditioner to the glass surface and polish with a clean cloth.

The conditioner provides a protective surface coating which will make cleaning the hob easier.
Occasional reapplying of the conditioner will prevent the accumulation of deposits from cooking.

If the glass surface becomes discoloured due to cooking deposits, clean the glass using a mild
cream cleaner or use a ceramic hob scraper. Wipe the surface clean and re-apply the cleaner
conditioner.

The appliance has automatic overheat protection which if activated

may limit functions or completely turn Off the hob.

• Spillage over the touch controls on the glass can activate change in

INSTALLATION

Regulations & Standards

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the relevant local and national regulations
in force. Installation should only be carried out by a qualified installer or engineer.
The appliance is suitable for installation into Holiday Homes, Touring Caravans and Boats. In all
cases the national standards with regard to appliance location and ventilation for the particular
vehicle into which the appliance is to be installed must be adhered to.

Position

A cutout should be prepared in the worktop as shown on page 2. A gap between the edge of the
hotplate and combustible material, unless protected by a layer of non-combustible material,
must exist, the minimum size of this gap for the required installation is shown below:-

A = 40mm, minimum direct distance between hotplate edge and rear wall.

B = 100mm, minimum direct distance between hotplate edge and side wall.

Cupboards above the appliance must be positioned a minimum of 500mm from the glass
surface.

A foam seal is supplied which must be attached to the underside of the appliance around its
periphery prior to positioning the hob on the worktop. The appliance should then be clamped in
position using the 4 clamping screws provided.

The underside of the appliance must be shielded. It is recommended the shield is manufactured
from non-combustible material and located a minimum of 25mm below the lowest part of the
appliance. This air space must be provided with ventilation and we recommend ventilation slots,
minimum 3000mm2, located in one of the 3 positions (6, 7 or 8) as shown in the diagram on
page 2. If the appliance is to be located over a cupboard or drawer the ventilation slots may be
positioned in the base of the enclosure at the rear.

This appliance is supplied with a Euro plug attached to the end of the power cord, for
connection to a switched wall mounted socket. After connection ensure the power cord and any
other electrical wires are routed well clear of any heat source, including this appliance. Do not
allow the cord to hang loose into the lower compartment. The switched socket must be
accessible after installation.

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
