concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 and
supervised. Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children less than
8 years old.
 Always ensure the voltage on the rang label corresponds to the voltage in
your home.
 Check the power cord and plug regularly for any damage. If the cord or the
plug is damaged, it must be replaced by a qualied electrician or a service
repair centre. If in doubt please contact our customer service team.
 The appliance is intended for domesc use only. Industrial or commercial use
will void the warranty. The supplier cannot be held responsible for injury or
damage if the appliance has been used for anything other than its intended
use.
 Incorrect operaon and use can damage the appliance and cause injury to
the user.
 Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped or damaged in any way. If
the unit has been damaged take the unit for examinaon and or repair by an

Appliance specic safety instrucons
 Do not move the inducon hotplate during cooking or with hot cookware on
top of it.
 Do not place any metal objects on the hob other than inducon compable
pans whilst the hob is switched on.
 Warning: if the surface is cracked, switch o the appliance to avoid the
possibility of an electric shock.
 Suitable pot diameter: 16-26cm.
Installing the device
 Place the device on a stable and level surface.
 Never place the device on a ammable surface (e.g. table cloth, carpet, etc.)
 Do not block the venlaon slots of the device. This may overheat the
device.
 Keep a min distance of 5 to 10cm to walls or other items.
 Do not place the inducon hob next to devices or objects which react
sensively to magnec elds (e.g. radios, TV’s, cassee recorders, etc.)
 Do not place the inducon hob next to open res, heaters or other sources
of heat.
 Make sure that the mains connecon cable is not damaged or squashed
beneath the device.
 Make sure that the mains connecon cable does not come into contact with
sharp edges and or hot surfaces.

5
Commissioning the device
 Prior to connecng the device, check that the voltage indicated on the rang
label corresponds to the voltage supply in your home. Connecng to a
dierent voltage other than the one instructed could damage the product
and lead to injury to persons.
 The inducon hobs surface consists of temperature-resistant ceramics. If any
damage is visible disconnect the device from the power supply immediately
and contact the manufacturer.
 We recommend not placing any metal kitchen utensils, cookware, pan lids,
knives or other metal objects on the hotplate. These may heat up when the
device is turned on.
 In order to avoid overheang, do not place any aluminium foil or metal
plates on the device.
 Do not insert any objects like wires or tools into the venlaon slots.
Aenon: this may cause electric shocks.
 Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic eld. Please note: the inducon
hot plate does not heat up itself during cooking, but the temperature of the
cookware heats up the hotplate!
 Do not heat up any unopened ns on the inducon hotplate. A heated n
could explode, therefore remove the lid beforehand.
 Scienc tests have proven that inducon hotplates do not pose a risk.
However, persons with a pacemaker should keep a minimum distance of 60
cm to the device while it is in operaon.
 Do not use pans that are larger than the surface area of the inducon hob.
Operang the device
 Plug the lead into a suitable power outlet and an acousc signal will sound.
 Place inducon compable cookware in the centre of the hotplate. (Please
note you can test the suitability of the cookware by placing a magnet such as
a fridge magnet on the boom of the cookware. If the magnet aaches to
the boom of the cookware, the cookware is suitable to use with the
inducon hob.

Electrical informaon
Please note:
It is extremely important that the wires or cores in the ex are connected to the
correct terminals in the plug. If the colour of the mains lead of the appliance does
not correspond with the coloured markings idenfying the terminals in your plug
proceed as follows:
 The Live (Brown) wire
connects to the right- most
live (L) terminal nearest to
the fuse.
 The Neutral (Blue) wire
connects to the le-most
neutral (N) terminal.
 The Earth (Green and
Yellow) wire connects to the
central, top most earthed (E)
terminal.
Warning:
If the appliance is double insulated indicated by the double insulated symbol:
it should not have an earth wire or earth connecon.
Plug
The plug must be protected by the correct AMP fuse; this will be indicated on the
case of the plug. Only BSI or ASTA approved fuses should be used. When changing
the fuse always replace it with a fuse that is of the same idencal rang as the
original. If you are unsure about which plug or fuse to use, always refer to a
qualied electrician.
Please note aer replacing the fuse, ensure that the cover is correctly ed back
onto the plug. Never aempt to run the appliance if the plug does not have a cover.
If a moulded plug is ed and has to be removed take great care in disposing of the
plug and severed cable, it must be destroyed to prevent it from engaging into a
socket.
