3 Instructions on Safe-handling of the Equipment
3.1 General instructions
The equipment is a technical appliance that is only intended for commercial use.
These appliances are used for the commercial preparation of meals in the containers provided for this purpose
such as pots and pans.
The appliances are neither suitable for spatial heating nor for the warming up of other materials – except those
normally used in cooking.
Ventilation of the work rooms complying with the regulations is to be ensured.
The employers' liability insurance association (BG) rules "Working in Commercial Kitchens" of the "Food
Processing Industry" expert committee of the BG Central Office (BGR 111) are to be observed when setting up
and operating equipment.
Technical modifications to the equipment by unauthorised persons without written permission from the
manufacturer completely nullify any claims under the guarantee and invalidate any claims in respect of product
liability.
These instructions are to be made known to the members of staff affected in the context of an operating directive.
3.2 Safety instructions for operating, cleaning and repair
Overheated fats and oils can be self-igniting. The preparation of food using fats and oils should not be left
unsupervised. Never try to extinguish fat or oil using water! Put on the lid, switch off the appliance and remove the
pot carefully from the hob.
Several parts, such as the top plate of the range, get very hot due to the high temperatures needed for cooking.
Protect yourself by only touching the control elements provided and by wearing clothing that prevents direct skin
contact.
The operating and cleaning may only be carried out by personnel who have received appropriate instruction.
Maintenance and repair may only be performed by qualified specialists who have received training.
Do not place any metal objects (closed cans, cutlery, jewellery, watches etc.) on the cooking area. These can get
very hot.
Do not place any paper, cardboard, cloth or similar materials between the cooking utensils and the cooking
surface. These materials can easily catch fire due to the hot pan.
Only use pots and pans suitable for induction ranges; the bottom of the utensil must be magnetic. The
minimum pot diameter must be 12 cm. Empty pots and pans should only be preheated for a short time. These
get hot immediately the hob is switched on and can lead to melting of the bottom. If you are using two pots at the
same time, make sure these do not touch each other.
Always place handles so that they lie outside the cooking areas. These can get very hot. Always switch off hobs
that are not being used. Power is automatically fed to the switched-on hob as soon as metal parts come in
contact with the hob area.
Persons with heart pacemakers or metal implants should consult their doctor to make sure that no malfunction or
warming up of such parts can occur.
While the appliance is in operation, the user may not wear any objects such as rings or watches that can get
warm when these come close to the cooking surface.
The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damage due to inexpert connection and handling. Claims under the
guarantee in such cases are null and void.

Credit cards, telephone cards and similar objects can be made useless if they come close to the cooking hobs.
The air slits under the control panel and in the intermediate floor may not be altered in cross section. Do not hang
any cloths over the panel. This could interfere with the internal cooling air system. The appliance has an inlet air
filter. Despite that, you must ensure that the incoming air contains no grease from other appliances that could be
drawn into the induction appliance (e.g. from nearby deep fat fryers and grilling plates). The temperature of the air
being drawn in must be below +35°C.
Should a crack form in the glass ceramic surface, the appliance must disconnect from the mains supply
immediately and the competent repair service informed.
Before repair work is started, the equipment must be disconnected on all poles from the power (using isolating
equipment in the customer's supply, e.g. contact breakers).
3.3 Instructions for transport
Transport ascobloc equipment only in the original packaging. This avoids unnecessary damage and expense.
Check equipment for damage.
Do not lift or shift the appliance by holding the top plate, the bottom edges at the sides of the appliance or by the
door handles. The bottom edges at the front and rear of the appliance are provided for this.
3.4 Instructions on installation
The appliance is wired up in the factory as far as the connector. All connection work must be carried out by an
authorised specialist company. Allow the technical experts to look at these documents. The legally acknowledged
regulations (Germany VDE, Austria ÖVE, Switzerland SEV etc.), and the connection requirements of the local
electricity utility are to be observed.
Before beginning the installation work, it should be checked that the mains voltage, mains type and the current
rating of the circuit breaker match the values given on the name plates. An isolating device in the customer's
scope of supply that is effective on all poles must be provided, e.g. contact breakers with at least 3 mm contact
gaps, so that the equipment is disconnected from the power supply during repair and installation work.
Connection to an equipotential bonding system is available. Make the connections in accordance with the local
regulations.
Mains cables are not to be sharply bent, crushed or damaged by sharp edges. Mains cabling are to be so laid
that contact with hot parts cannot occur. The power supply cable must be led through the equipment, fully
sheathed, from the screwed connection to the entry of the terminal. The appliance is intended for a permanent
connection; connection via plug and socket is not permitted
4 Installation
4.1 Setting up
Do not set up the equipment next to walls, kitchen furniture, Decorations or similar which are made of flammable
materials. Otherwise there is danger of fire. See connection diagram with equipment description for minimum
distance. Local fire protection regulations must be kept to absolutely!
It is of importance that the equipment be set up absolutely horizontal (use spirit level for alignment) so that the
doors can be opened and closed without any problem and that they seal tightly when closed. Equipment with
adjustable feet can easily compensate for unevenness in the floor (+/- 20 mm) by turning the bottom ends of the
feet. If set up on a plinth, this is to have shims fitted underneath to compensate for unevenness, if required.
4.1.1 Free-standing set-up
If the equipment is to be set up on its own, suitable means are to be used to protect it against tilting and shifting.
4.1.2 Setting them up in groups or blocks
When setting up in groups or blocks, the equipment must be joined together by connecting elements provided for
this purpose. This is for the sake of hygiene. Observe equipment setting up sheets or assembly diagram
(data sheet in annex).
4.2 Connections
Details of connections for the media can be taken from the accompanying connection diagram and equipment
description. Check whether the size and position of the electrical connections of the customer side correspond to
the information in the connection plan, equipment description or installation plan
The terminal box for the connections is located behind the front panel A (see data sheet). Make the connections
as shown in the annex or in the connection diagram accompanying the equipment. The number of the connection

diagram is to be found on the type plate. Once the electrical connections have been made, close the cover of the
terminal box and screw the front panel in place again
4.2.1 Free-standing appliances
The connections can be made from below or from the rear from a closed installation space. With the connection
from below, the pipe length must be 50 mm above the floor surface.
4.2.1.1 Connection from the rear when equipment on a plinth
The penetrations are to be made in compliance with the known DIN and VDE regulations. The connections can
be through the rear wall (see illustration for dimensions).
Front view – position of the penetrations for connections when the equipment is on a plinth
4.2.2 Wall/table mounted appliance - attached to an installation wall, cantilever or wall-mounted frame
When attaching the appliance to an installation wall, cantilever or on a wall-mounted frame (ACC 881), the
appliance connections from below or from the rear are to be used.
4.2.3 Wall/table-top appliances connect through the rear wall
On the right side at the rear in the corner is a bracket that is screwed on with downwards penetration that covers
the access to the installation channel to the rear. Remove the bracket, turn it through 180° and screw it back on
so that the penetration in the bracket now frees up access to the rear and covers the downwards access.
5 Proper Use of the Equipment
5.1 Operational start-up
Remove the protective film before bringing into use.
Clean the equipment with dilute soap solution.
5.2 Operating
Place cooking utensil containing food in the middle of the cooking zone. Turn the main switch for the cooking
zones to the right. Turn the rotary power switch to the desired power level. The control lamp in the glass ceramic
hob flashes (cooking setting 10% - 30%) or lights steadily (cooking setting 30% - 100%). The food is heated up.
Remove the pot or pan from the heating zone – the control lamp should flash (searching for pan).
Put the pan back on the heating zone – the control lamp lights steadily again and the cooking is resumed.
Turn the rotary power switch to the position -0-. The cooking process is stopped and the control lamp goes out.

You can now put the main switch for the cooking zones to -0-. The green pilot light goes out.
The pot/pan diameter should not be smaller than the circle shown in the front cooking zone. The cooking zone
monitoring does not switch the power on till a sufficiently large pot is placed on the hob. Parboiling at high power
and simmering at low power. The setting needed for simmering depends on the condition of the cooking utensils
and the quantity of food to be cooked.
Only use pots with flat, smooth and clean bottoms that the manufacturer has indicated as being suitable for
induction heating. Do not use enamelled pots! Rough bottoms on utensils cause scratches when slid across the
glass ceramic surface.
5.2.1 Pot detection
Pots with a diameter of less than 12 cm are not detected. The control lamp lights up when in operation. No heat is
generated when there is no pot on the hob or when the utensil is of an unsuitable material, the control light
flashes only briefly.
Use a magnet to check whether a cooking utensil such as a pot or pan is suitable. The pan is suitable if the
magnet clings to the bottom of the pan.
If not, your pan is not suitable for induction appliances. Choose a pan material suitable for induction heating.
5.2.2 Monitoring the heating zone
The heating zone is monitored by a temperature sensor located under the glass ceramic plate. Overheated pots
(hot oil, empty pans) can be detected. The supply of heat is stopped. The appliance does not supply heat again to
the pot till the temperature has regained a normal value (230°C).
ATTENTION!
The overheated cooking utensil is first detected when the glass ceramic reaches the switch-off temperature
(260°C).
Generation of noise
The cooling fans are audible, but switch off again from time to time. Whistling noises due to the different working
frequencies can be heard when close to the appliance.
The noise can be prevented by:
° Altering the power level
° Using different cooking utensils
The ventilation starts to work when the temperature of the heat sink exceeds +45°C. At heat sink temperatures
above +70°C, the monitoring of the heating reduces automatically to keep the power unit at normal operating
conditions.
The induction appliance continues to run at reduced maximum power.
5.3 Cleaning
Please observe the hygiene regulations in your firm! The instructions in this document are not a substitute for
such regulations (observe the tips for the treatment of stainless steel appliances in commercial kitchens!).
Attention! Appliances may not be cleaned using water under pressure (spraying with water hose or steam jet or
high pressure cleaners). The appliance is to be shut off if the surroundings are to be cleaned using such means!
The appliance must be shut off and adequately cooled down before cleaning. Appliance parts or accessories that
come in contact with foodstuffs must be cleaned thoroughly with cleaning agents and then rinsed off with tap
water. Flammable liquids are not be used for cleaning.
To avoid interruptions in operation and for hygiene reasons, the appliance should be cleaned daily after use.
Glass ceramic
The glass ceramic cooking surface is easier to clean than conventional ones but also needs to be cleaned
regularly.
To remove coarse deposits, the glass ceramic cleaning scraper (ACC 560) is an absolute must. Unsuitable
scrapers or spatulas can damage the glass ceramic surface and the surrounding silicone seal!
If anything boils over or is spilled, wipe it off immediately before any incrustation can form.
Keep everything that can melt, e.g. plastics, films, especially sugar and food with a high sugar content, away from
the hot cooking hob. If anything melts onto the surface, remove it immediately (even in the hot state) using the
glass ceramic scraper in order to avoid damage.
Clean the cooking zones several times daily, especially at the end of the working day. A little wash-up liquid and
a damp cloth are sufficient for slight soiling. If the soiling is somewhat heavier, first remove the coarse deposits
from the cooking zone using the correct scraper. Then clean with fine scouring liquid, a coarse scrubbing brush or
with soap-filled steel shavings (e. g. AKO pads, Abrazo).

Under no circumstances should plastic sponges with embedded sand grains or steel wool be used. Sand grains
from cleaning salad or peeling potatoes that get onto the ceramic plate can cause scratches when pots and pans
are moved back and forth. Wash off with copious quantities of water.
Any grey film (lime scale) occurring can be removed with dilute vinegar solution or surface descaled.
We recommend the following aids:
ACC 558 Surface descale
ACC 559 Spare blades for glass ceramic cleaning scraper
ACC 560 Glass ceramic cleaning scraper
ACC 561 Conditioning agent for glass ceramic hobs on ranges
Top plate
With stubborn deposits, spray commercially available stainless steel cleaning agent onto the top plate and let it
take effect for about 10 to 20 minutes. Then clean with a coarse sponge and wipe out with clear water. Do not
flood the top plate – wipe it out with cloths.
ATTENTION!
The cleaning agent to be used must be free of chlorine and fluorine compounds as these halides can attack even
high-quality stainless steel.
6 Repair and Maintenance
