Cooking on Induction
The principle of induction cooking is based on magnetic effect.
When you put your cookware on an induction zone and switch it on, the electronic boards in the hob produce induced currents in
the base of the cookware and instantly raise its temperature. This heat is then transferred to the food inside the cookware.
The best cookware to use with induction cooking has thick flat bases, as the heat will be better distributed so cooking
more evenly.
Most cookware is compatible with induction cooking. There are three ways to check the suitability of your cookware:
1. Using a magnet to see if the base of the pan is magnetic: if three magnet sticks, then the cookware is compatible.
2. Place the pan on one of the cooking zones switched on to power level 4: if the display remains on, then the cookware is
compatible. If the display flashes, the cookware cannot be used on an induction hob.
3. Check the instructions or packaging of the pans for the symbols indicating suitability for use with induction.

Fitting the Hob
Unpacking the hob:
Take care not to lose or mishandle any parts.
Fitting position of the hob:
This appliance must be installed a minimum of 50mm from any back wall and a minimum of 180mm away from any adjacent vertical
surfaces, e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This may be reduced to 100mm if the adjacent surface is resistant to fire (tiles or steel, for
example). These dimensions are shown in Fig.6.
Ventilation requirements:
This appliance must be installed to allow air to flow freely to the air intake and from the air outlet. Failure to allow sufficient ventilation
could cause damage to the hob and constitutes incorrect installation, which is not covered by the warranty.
If fitting a cooker hood above the hob:
If a cooker hood is to be installed above the hob, the height of the hood above the hob must be at least 600mm (650mm is
recommended) (Fig.5). If the instructions supplied with the hood dictate that the hood must be installed at a height greater than
600mm, then that height is the minimum required.
Wall furniture requirements:
The minimum height of any cabinet immediately above the hob is 900mm. The minimum height of any adjacent units (including light
pelmets) is 400mm, unless they are manufactured from a material resistant to fire (steel, for example)
Notes:
• Do not position this appliance above a refrigeration unit. The heat generated may cause the refrigeration unit to fail.
• This appliance is designed to be installed into cabinet units capable of withstanding temperatures of 65°C or greater above
ambient temperature.
• Never place perishable foods, cleaning products or ammable items in the cupboard below the appliance.
• If an oven is to be installed below the hob, the thermal safety system on the hob will not allow the hob to be used at the same time
as a pyrolytic programme on the oven.
• The hob is equipped with an anti-overheating safety device that can be activated if the hob is installed over an oven that is not
sufficiently ventilated. In the event that this occurs, the zone display will show C. We recommend that you increase the ventilation
of the hob by creating an opening in the side of the cabinet (8 cm x 5 cm).
• Ensure that the top rail is removed prior to installation, and that no unit cross member is blocking the air outlets.
• If the hob is to be located above a working drawer, we recommend that the drawer is not used for storing soft items, for example
dusters or towels; this is to minimize the risk of the cooling system air intakes being obstructed.
If there are no vents provided in the plinth run, then a vent should be provided to ensure there is enough free air available for ventilation.

How to install the hob:
Overall dimensions of the hob:
Width: 580 mm Depth: 510 mm
Worktop cut-out dimensions:
Width: 560 mm Depth: 490 mm
1. Make the required hole in the worktop. Before doing this, you must check the instructions supplied with any cooker hood
to ensure that you will have the required clearance. The cut-out (Fig.5) shows a 60mm gap from the wall to the cut-out edge.
The distance from the hob, when fitted, to the back wall is 50mm.
If a splashback/worktop upstand is to be fitted, take this into account when cutting the hole. The minimum distance that the
hob should be positioned away from the rear wall or splashback is 50mm.
2. Fix the foam seal underneath the appliance by following the outline of the worktop upon which the hob will rest
This ensures an airtight seal with the worktop. Do not use silicone type sealant.
