INDUCTION VITROCERAMIC HOB
User instructions
GENERAL
Carefully read the contents of this leaflet since it provides
important instructions regarding safety of installation, use and
maintenance.
Keep the leaflet for possible future consultation. All the
operations relating to installation (electrical connections) must
be carried out by specialised personnel in accordance with
current regulations.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This apparatus is not suitable for use by children or people
who need supervision.
For safety reasons, never place large ferromagnetic objects
(e.g. oven plates for cakes) on the cooking zone of the
fibreglass top.
People carrying pacemakers are advised to consult a doctor
before using the induction cooking zones.
Metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons or covers must
not be placed on the surface of the cooking top because they
can become heated.
IMPORTANT: After use, switch the cooking top off with the
command device.
IMPORTANT:
- Avoid spilling liquid, therefore to boil or heat liquids, reduce
the heat.
- Please ensure when the appliance is turned on, that there
are no empty pots left on top.
- When you have finished cooking, switch off the relevant
heating element with the command indicated below.

WARNING
If the surface of the hob is cracked, turn off the appliance
and disconnect from the electrical main in order to avoid
any possible electric shocks.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions are for a specialized installer and are a
guide for the installation process, regulations and maintenance
in accordance with the law and current standards.
If the built-in oven or any other appliances that produce heat,
need to be installed directly underneath the cooking hobs in
ceramic glass, IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE APPLIANCE
(oven) AND THE COOKING HOBS IN CERAMIC GLASS
ARE ADEQUATELY ISOLATED, in such a way that the heat
generated from the oven, measured on the right hand side of
the bottom of the cooking hobs, does not exceed 60°C.
Failure to follow this precaution, could cause a malfunction in
the TOUCH CONTROL system.
POSITIONING
The domestic appliance was built in order to be encased on
a work surface, the way it is illustrated in the graph (Fig.1).
Predispose sealing material (Fig.4) along the whole perimeter
(for dimensions of the cut see (Fig.1). Lock the domestic
appliance into place with 4 supporters, keeping in mind the
width of the surface (Fig.2). If the lower part of the appliance
after installation, is accessable via the lower part of the
furniture, it is necessary to mount a separating panel keeping
in mind the distances indicated (Fig.3).
This is not necessary if underneath the induction hob is
installed an oven.
VENTILATION (Fig.5)
the distance between the cooktop and built-in kitchen's
furnitures or cooking apparatuses must guarantee sufficient
ventilation of the air. Not to use the cooktop if in the oven is in
course the pyrolysis process.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Fig.6)
Before making the electrical connections, check that:
- the ground wire is 2 cm longer than the other cables;
- the system ratings meet the ratings indicated on the
identification plate fixed on the lower part of the worktop;
- the system is fitted with efficient ground wires in accordance
6
h
with the laws and current standards.
Grounding is mandatory by law. If the domestic appliance is
not supplied with a cable and/or suitable plug, use material
suitable for the absorption value indicated on the identification
plate and the operating temperature. If wishing to make a
direct connection to the mains, an omnipolar switch must be
installed with a minimum 3 mm opening between the contacts
and appropriate for the load indicated on the plate and in
accordance with current standards (the yellow/green ground
conductor must not be disconnected by a switch). When the
appliance has been installed, the omnipolar switch must be
easily reachable.
USE
The fundamental characteristic of the induction system is the
direct transference of heat from the generator to the cooking
recipient.
Advantages:
- The transference of power takes place only when the
recipient is placed on the cooking zone.
- The heat is generated only at the base of the recipient and
transferred directly to the food to be cooked.
- Reduced heating time and low consumption of power during
the beginning of cooking, allowing a global saving of power.
- The fibreglass top remains cold, the heat felt on the cooking
top is that reflected from the base of the recipient.
COOKING RECIPIENTS
The use of appropriate recipients is an essential factor for
induction cooking. Check that your pots are suitable for the
induction system.
The recipients must contain iron. You can check whether
the material of the pot is magnetic with a simple magnet
(Fig.7).
We advise recipients having a flat base (Fig.8A).
This way you can use the power optimally.
Do not use recipients with a rough base to avoid scratching
the thermal surface of the top.
A very important factor in induction cooking is the dimension of
the pot compared to the plate used (Fig.8B). The cooking zones
allow the use of recipients with bases of various diameters. It
is, however, preferable to use the appropriate cooking zone
for the dimension of the pot.
SWITCHING THE COOKING TOP ON
Press A key to switch the top on.
All the displays relative to the cooking zones switch on in the
standby position.
The control unit remains active for 20 seconds.
If no cooking zone is selected within this time, the ccoking top
switches off automatically.
SWITCHING THE COOKING AREA ON
Select the area of cooking and pressing one of the E display.
Slide the slider to increase and B to decrease the power of the
cooking zone.
The power of the single cooking zone can be adjusted in 9
different positions, and will be displayed on the display bright
and with a number from "1 to 9." And with the display to number
from "1 to 9."
RESIDUAL HEAT
If the temperature of the cooking zone is still high (over 50°)
after it has been switched off, the relative display will indicate
the
symbol (residual heat). The symbol will only switch off
when the burn risk in no longer present.
POT DETECTION
If the symbol
should appear on one of the cooking area
displays, it means that:
1)The recipient being used is not suitable for induction
cooking.
2)The diameter of the recipient used is inferior to that allowed
by the appliance.
3) No recipient is present.
