Turning On and Turning Off the Cooktop Appliance
NOTE: Do not operate the cooktop without first placing a suitably sized cooking vessel on the appropriate
cooking zone. If the correct sized cooking vessel is not placed on the cooking zone, the Cooking Zone Power
LED Display (12) will stay blank. Settings can be changed with the Power Slide Touch Control (05) on that
cooking zone, but the zone will not work (the Cooking Zone Power LED Display will show “U”, or alternate
with the setting until the pot is replaced).
If the appliance is in Stand-By-Mode, it is put into Operating-Mode by pressing the On/Off Power touch control
(01) for at least 1 second. A beep signal indicates the successful operation acoustically, with a small indicator
above the touch control being lit.
The Power Slide LED Indicators (06) on each cooking zone will light up. If suitable cookware is on a cooking
zone, the Cooking Zone Power LED Display will show “0”.
If there is no operation within 20 seconds, all the Power Slide LED Indicators and the indicator above the
On/Off Power touch control will turn off, and the appliance will be re-set into Stand-By-Mode.
If the On/Off Power touch control is pressed for more than 1 second (in Operating-Mode), the appliance is
switched off and is set into the Stand-By-Mode again. The appliance can be turned off by pressing the
On/Off Power touch control at any time. The small indicator above the touch control will also turn off.
If there is any residual heat remaining in a cooking zone, this will be indicated in the corresponding
Cooking Zone Power LED Display as a red “H”.
Note: All cooking zones have a pre-set limit on the length of time they will run without any setting changes
(table further in the manual).
Operating A Cooking Zone
1. With the appliance in Operating-Mode, choose a cooking zone and place suitable cookware on the zone
so that the Cooking Zone Power LED Display shows “0” or “H” if it is hot.
2. The power level can now be set between 1-9-P by touching the Power Slide Touch Control (05) for that
cooking zone (the Cooking Zone Power LED Display will show the power valve and the Power Slide LED
Indicator (06) will give a graphical representation of the power level). The Power Slide Touch Control can
be operated by either touching the sensor at some point (lower values to the left), or placing a finger on
the sensor and sliding it left and right. The last point of every Power Slide LED Indicator to the right is the
Boost Function (explained further in the manual).
Each cooking zone can be turned on or adjusted in the same way.
The cooking zone power works on a thermostat system. This means that the cooking zone will switch on
and off in order to remain at the chosen Power Level. NOTE the cooking zone will remain on for longer
periods if a higher power level is chosen, alternatively the cooking zone will be on less regularly on lower
power level settings.
Turning Off Individual Cooking Zones
A cooking zone can be turned off by adjusting the power to 0. This is done by pressing the sensor between
the Melting, Keep Warm & Boil Control Function Touch Control (03) and the leftmost position of the Power
Slide LED Indicator.
The Boost and Super Boost Functions
The Boost and Super Boost functions are available on all cooking zones. It is used to speed up the initial heat
up time (say boil a pot of water) and only runs for a short time (10 minutes, after which the cooking zone
power level will return to 9).
1. For the Boost Function, select a cooking zone and press the right most section of the Power Slide Touch
Control (04) once, so the Cooking Zone Power LED display changes from the current value to “P”. The
Boost Function is now active (the Power Slide LED Indicators (06) are all lit).
2. The Super Boost Function uses even more power than the Boost Function. Once the Boost Function has
been activated, press the right most section of the Power Slide Touch Control again. The Cooking Zone
Power LED display will start to flash ii, ll, P, indicating the function is now active.
Note: The Boost and Super Boost functions use significantly more power than the nominal power (see
appliance details). If used in conjunction with other cooking zones, the max power available on the other
cooking zones may be reduced to keep power usage within the total allowed. Due to the high power
usage, use these functions on a maximum of 2 cooking zones at any one time.
To disable the either function, press the Power Slide Touch Control somewhere else along its length and the
cooking zone will adjust back to normal operation.

3. Adjust the time (in minutes) using the Timer Decrease Touch Control and the Timer Increase Touch
Control. Once set, the “min” icon will flash for 5 seconds, then stop flashing and the Minute Minder
Function will start counting down.
4. The Timer LED display will show the time left (as minutes) until 1 minute is reached, then will count down
in seconds.
5. When finished, the alarm will sound and the Timer LED display will flash “000” for 2 minutes, or until a
sensor is pressed.
The Minute Minder time can be adjusted at any point by activating the function and adjusting as above.
To disable the function, adjust the time to “00”.
The minute minder can be used while the cooking zones are running, but should be started before the
cooking zones are activated (after that, the only way to disable the Minute Minder Function is to turn off all
cooking zones or change the appliance to the Stand-By-Mode. When the timer function is being used on a
cooking zone, its display takes preference over that of the Minute Minder.
Timer Function
The timer function differs from the Minute Minder function in that it will turn off a cooking zone at the end of the
time. It can be set for one or more cooking zones (each working independently). The Timer LED display (11)
always shows the shortest timer when in operation.

Control. Once set, the “min” icon will flash for 5 seconds, then it will stop flashing and the Timer Function
will start counting down.
5. The Timer LED display will show the time left (as minutes) until 1 minute is reached, then will count down
in seconds. When multiple cooking zones are using the Timer Function, the Timer Set/Active Indicator will
be bright if that cooking zone Timer function is being edited or has the shortest time left, all others will be
dim.
6. When finished, the alarm will sound and the Timer LED display will flash “000” for 2 minutes, or until a
sensor is pressed. The cooking zone will turn off and the Timer Set/Active Indicator will turn off. If
multiple cooking zones are using timers, the one with the shortest time left will be displayed on the Timer
LED display, and its Timer Set/Active Indicator will become bright.

CLEANING
NOTE: Cleaning and maintenance operations must only be carried out when the
cooktop is cool (all residual heat indicators are off).
The appliance should be disconnected from the power outlet or turned off at your
isolation switch before commencing any cleaning process.
Do not use plastic, plastic coated or aluminium cooking equipment on this appliance.
CLEANING THE COOKTOP
All cookware used on this appliance should be rated for induction cooking by the manufacturer. Cookware
with rough bases should not be used as they can scratch the glass ceramic surface. The base of the good
cookware should be as thick and flat as possible. Before use, make sure that cookware bases are clean
and dry.
Always place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on. If possible, always place the lids
on the cookware. The base of any cookware used must not be smaller or larger than the cooking zones;
they should be the proper size as indicated below, so as not to waste energy.
Before cleaning the cooktop, first isolate the cooktop from the power. Once done, ensure that there is no
residual heat stored in the appliance. The glass is very resistant to high temperature and overheating. If
there is residual heat stored in the appliance, the related residual heat indicator lamp will be on. In order to
avoid burns, let the appliance cool down.
Remove all spilt food and fat with a clean damp, warm, slightly soapy, dishcloth. Rinse cloth and wipe
cooktop again until clean, then wipe the cooktop dry with a clean tea towel or dry soft cloth.
If aluminium foil or plastic items are accidentally melted on the glass surface, they should be immediately
removed from the hot cooking area with a scraper specifically for glass. This will avoid any possible
damage to the surface. This also applies to sugar or food containing sugar that may be spilled on the
cooktop. Enamelled steel, aluminium & copper will leave a residue on the surface that should be removed
immediately or permanent damage may occur.
In the event of other food melted on the cooktop surface, remove the dirt when the appliance has cooled
down. Use cleaner for glass ceramic or stainless steel when cleaning the surface.
Do not use abrasive sponges to clean the glass surface. These materials may damage the surface.
Do not use chemical detergents, sprays or spot removers on the glass surface. These materials may cause
fire or the glass colour to fade. Clean with a damp, warm, slightly soapy, dishcloth.
WARNING: Using cookware that is too large can cause discolouration or damage to the cooktop surface
around the cooking zones, which is NOT covered under warranty.

appliance must be well ventilated (as per this manual) otherwise the appliance will overheat.
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION AND USE
Manufactured with best quality parts and materials, this modern, functional and practical cooktop will meet
your needs in all respects. Make sure to read the manual to obtain successful results so as not to
experience any problems in the future. The information given below contains rules that are necessary for
correct positioning and service operations. They should be read without fail, especially by the technician
who will position the appliance.
CHOOSING A LOCATION FOR THE APPLIANCE
There are several points to pay attention to when choosing a location for your cooktop. Make sure to take
into account our recommendations below in order to prevent any problems and dangerous situations, which
might occur later!
When choosing a location for the cooktop, attention should be paid that there are no flammable or
combustible materials in the close vicinity, such as curtains, oil, cloth etc. which quickly catch fire.
Ensure a distance between the cooktop edge and rear or side walls of at least 50mm.
Furniture surrounding the cooktop must be made of materials resistant to temperatures above 100 C°.
Required changes to wall cabinets and exhaust fans above a built-in cooktop as well as minimum heights
from the oven board are shown in Figure 1. Accordingly, the exhaust fan should be at a minimum height of
65 cm from the cooktop. If there is no exhaust fan the height should not be less than 70 cm.

INSTALLATION OF BUILT IN COOKTOP
In order to prevent leakage of any liquids on the work bench and fix the appliance to the bench, a special
sealing tape is supplied together with your oven. Place the cooktop glass down on a clean cloth on a stable
flat surface & apply this seal around the bottom edge of the cooktop (see below). Remove the backing from
the sealing tape and then place the appliance in position. If the sealing tape is not enough to fully seal the
appliance to the bench, use a small bead of clear high temperature resistant silicone sealant.
This appliance can be installed into a workbench 30-40mm thick. When cutting the hole in the work bench,
keep in mind the correct space and ventilation which are shown in the diagrams below.
A board must be placed a minimum of 20mm
below the cooktop that prevents anyone from
touching the underside of the cooktop. Take
care that there is adequate ventilation for air
exchange to the inductive elements (at least
20mm).
NOTE: INDUCTIVE COOKTOPS GENERATE A
LOT OF HEAT INTERNALLY WHEN IN
OPERATION. THE BOTTOM OF THE
APPLIANCE MUST HAVE A CLEAR PATHWAY
TO VENT THIS HEAT OUT VIA THE BOTTOM
FANS TO THE OPEN AIR IN ORDER TO KEEP
ITSELF COOL. FAILING TO PROVIDE
ADIQUATE VENTILLATION WILL DAMAGE
THE APPLIANCE AND VOID YOUR
WARRANTY. THE ABOVE DIMENSIONS
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THE MINIMUM
VENTILLATION REQUIRED.
