Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible
negative consequences for the environment and health. It also
enables the constituent materials to be recovered, saving both energy
and resources. As a reminder of the need to dispose of household
appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out
wheeled dustbin.
Precautions before use
• Unpack the hob and all associated components, taking care not to
lose or mishandle any parts.
• We recommend that the appliance is installed by a suitably qualied
professional and connected to the electricity supply by a qualified
electrician, who is a member of the N.I.C.E.I.C. and who will comply
with the I.E.T. and local regulations.
• The appliance must be installed in a purpose-designed kitchen unit
and worktop cut out as specified below.
• This hob (Class 3) has been designed for use only as a domestic
cooking appliance. Any other use should be considered incorrect
and therefore dangerous.
• Remove all labels and other packaging materials from the ceramic

4
surface prior to use.
• Do not modify the appliance in any way as this will invalidate the
guarantee and is potentially dangerous.
• The hob top is not designed for any use other than cooking: any
other use (e.g. as a worktop) is potentially dangerous and will
invalidate the guarantee.
• This appliance must be connected to xed wiring and suitably
earthed according to local regulations. Alternative connection,
through a 13A plug or through an extension lead must not be used.
• This appliance must not be installed above a dishwasher, washing
machine or tumble dryer as steam may damage the electronic
components.
Using the Appliance
• Always switch cooking zones o after use.
• Take particular care when cooking with oils or fats that may ignite.
• Cooking pans and utensils and the hob itself become hot during
use. Caution, risk of injury to people and pets both during and after
use.
• Ensure no cable from any other appliance can come into contact
with the hob top or pans during use.
• Magnetic objects (such as credit cards or portable electronic
devices) must not be placed near the hob during use.
• Do not place any metal object (other than suitable pans) on the hob.
• Never cover the hob with any cloth or other cover. This may
become hot and create a re hazard.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental

5
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction 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
without supervision.
• Metal objects such as knives, forks, lids etc. should not be placed
on the hob as they may become hot.
Precautions to protect the hob
• Use of damaged pans or those with raw cast iron bottoms may
damage the hob ceramic glass.
• Abrasive materials such as scouring cleaners and grits may damage
the ceramic glass.
• Avoid dropping objects onto the ceramic glass.
• Take care not to strike the edges of the hob with saucepans.
• Ensure that ventilation (as specied under installation instructions)
remains free from obstructions.
• Do not place empty saucepans on the hob.
• Sugar, synthetic plastics or aluminium foil must not be allowed
to come into contact with the heating zones; these may cause
permanent damage to the ceramic glass. If these should
accidentally fall onto the hob, turn it o immediately and carefully
remove them. Take care not to burn yourself.
• Never place any hot items on the control panel.
• If a drawer is located below the hob, ensure a horizontal divider is
installed leaving a minimum gap of 2cm above it for hob ventilation,
and protecting the drawer contents from striking the hob. The

6
divider must be made of material capable of withstanding 65°C
above ambient temperature.
• Never place inammable items or materials in a drawer or cupboard
below the hob.
Precautions in the event of an appliance fault
• If a fault is noticed, switch o the appliance and turn o the
electricity supply.
• Warning: If the ceramic glass is broken or cracked do not use the
appliance, turn o the electricity supply to avoid the possibility of
electric shock. Contact CDA Customer Support.
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside the appliance; all repairs
must be performed by a suitably qualified service engineer or
similar.
• See the “Troubleshooting” section in this manual, from page 20.
Other precautions
• Ensure that each pan is centred on its cooking zone; The pan base
must cover as much of the cooking zone as possible.
• Do not use aluminium or plastic containers: they could melt onto hot
cooking zones.
• The use of incorrect cookware or any induction adaptor plate
designed for non-magnetic cookware is outside the manufacturer’s
specifications so will invalidate the guarantee. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for any damage to the hob or
consequential damages as a result of such use.

FOR THOSE WITH HEART PACEMAKERS OR ACTIVE IMPLANTS:
The function of this hob conforms to current electromagnetic
interference standards and thus is in total compliance with legal
requirements (2004/108/CE directives).
To avoid interference between your hob and a pacemaker, your
pacemaker must be designed and programmed in compliance with
the regulations that apply to it. As such, CDA guarantee only that our
product is compliant.
With regard to the compliance of the pacemaker or any potential
incompatibility, you should obtain information from the manufacturer or
your attending physician.

Cooking On Induction
The principle of induction cooking is based on magnetic eect.
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 at 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. Use a magnet to see if the base of the pan is magnetic: if the
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 ashes, 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.
