This manual contains important information regarding safety, the use and maintenance of your new hob. Read the manual and keep it in an easily accessible place for future consultation.

Precautions and Advice

This cooktop complies with all applicable safety and

electromagnetic compatibility legislation. However, individuals fitted with a heart pacemaker should maintain a safe distance from the appliance. This is because it is not possible to guarantee that all pacemakers on the market comply with the standards in compliance with which this appliance was tested so it is not possible to provide an absolute guarantee of the absence of potentially harmful interference. Disposal of packaging materials: dispose of the various

packing materials responsibly, in full compliance with local authority regulations governing waste disposal. This induction hob is designed solely for use as a domestic

appliance. No other type of use is permitted. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for inappropriate use. The appliance is not intended for use by people (children

included) with physical, sensory or mental impairment or without experience and knowledge of the appliance, unless supervised or previously instructed in its use by those responsible for their safety. The cooking zones become extremely hot during use:

keep children away from the appliance to avoid the risk of scalding or burns.

letter “H”

display to indicate “residual heat” in the corresponding cooking zone: the temperature of the cooking zone is above 60 °C: do not touch the cooking zone or place any object on it while the

letter “H” remains lit. If the surface of the hob should become damaged (cracked or broken glass), do not use the appliance and call the After-sales Service immediately. Any repairs or work on the appliance must be carried out by a qualified technician. This hob is equipped with a thermoprotector to prevent the risk of its internal circuits being damaged by high temperatures from external heat sources (e.g. an undercounter oven). If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the safety threshold, the

Before use

Important

not switch on if pots and pans are not of the correct dimensions. Only use pots bearing the symbol “INDUCTION SYSTEM” (See figure opposite). Before switching the hob on, position the pot on the desired cooking zone.

Existing pots and pans:

OK NO

Use a magnet to check whether pots or pans are suitable for use on the induction hob: pots are unsuitable if they cannot be magnetically detected.

Ensure pots have a smooth bottom, otherwise they may

scratch the hob's glass ceramic surface. Check dishes. Do not use empty pots on the hob, especially enamelled

or aluminium ones. This could result in damage to both the glass ceramic surface and the bottom of the pots. Never place hot pots or pans on the hob's control panel.

This could result in damage.

the appliance to the electricity supply. Electrical connection must be carried out in compliance

•

with the regulations of the local electric utility company. Make sure that the voltage indicated on the rating plate on

conductors (including the earth conductor) of the appropriate size only.

For electrical connection, use an H05 RR-F type cable as

specified in the table “Power supply voltage”.

Connecting to the terminal board

Connect the yellow/green earth wire to the terminal with the

symbol . This wire must be longer than the other wires.

Remove the terminal block cover (A), undoing the screw

and inserting the cover in the terminal block hinge (B). Strip approx. 70 mm of sheath from the power supply

cable. Strip approx. 10 mm of sheath from the wires. Insert the

power supply cable into the cable clamp and connect the wires to the terminal board as indicated in the diagram next to the terminal board itself. Secure the power cable with the cable clamp.

Close the cover (C) and screw it on the terminal block

with the removed screw - point (1).

WARNING! The power supply cable must be long enough to allow the hob to be removed from the worktop and must be positioned so as to avoid damage or overheating caused by

To guarantee correct operation, the appliance must be installed on a perfectly flat surface. The worktop must be 20-50 mm thick. If necessary, cut the kitchen unit and worktop to fit before installing the hob. Clean the cutout of any remaining dust that could compromise appliance operation. For the distance between the underside of the induction hob and the kitchen unit (or separating panel), observe the dimensions given in the figure at the side. If a column unit is installed adjacent to the hob, leave a distance of at least 100 mm from the edge of the hob.
