This appliance has been designed and manufactured to comply with
all applicable UK and EU legislation,
Low voltage Directive, 2014/35/EU

and has been marked with the following symbols
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE
PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU.
At the end of its working life, the product must be taken to a special
local authority waste collection centre or to a dealer providing
appliance recycling services.
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.
Warning: The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during
use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements.
Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless
continuously supervised. This appliance can be used by children
aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental 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.

Warning: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in fire. NEVER try to extinguish a fire with
water, but switch off the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid
or a fire blanket.
Warning: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
Warning: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid
the possibillity of electric shock. Metallic objects, such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since
they can get hot. After use, switch off the hob element by its control
and do not rely on the pan detector. The appliance is not intended to
be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote-control
system. You should not use steam cleaning devices to clean the
appliance.
Please note:
• Induction hobs become hot and remain hot during and
immediately after use. Do not touch the hob until it has been
allowed to cool.
• Keep children away from the appliance when in use.
• Never use the hob top for storage.
• Pan handles should never stand out beyond the edge of the
worktop. This will help to avoid children reaching them.
• Do not lean over the hob when it is in use.
• Follow the cleaning instructions carefully.
• Ensure the base of the saucepan is clean and dry before placing it
on the hob.

• Avoid hard shocks from cookware, dropping pepper mills
etc. – the vitroceramic glass surface is highly resistant but not
unbreakable.
• Do not place hot lids flat on the hob top. A “suction” effect could
cause damage to the hob.
• Do not drag cookware across the hob top: in the long term, this
could cause damage to the hob.
• Do not store cleaning or flammable products in the unit below the
hob.
• Always use appropriate cookware.
• Do not cook unopened tins of food directly on the hob.
• Never put cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface
when the hob is hot. These materials could melt and cause
damage to the hob.
• This hob (Class 3) has been designed for use only as a cooking
appliance in a domestic environment. Any other use should be
considered incorrect and therefore dangerous.
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.

7
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 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 meaning cooking is more even.
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 the
magnet sticks, then the cookware is compatible.
2. Place the pan on one of the cooking zones and switch the zone
on. If the display continues to show the selected power level
then the cookware is compatible. If the display shows “ ”, 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.

Important
• Do not use the hob if the glass surface is cracked or damaged to
prevent the risk of electric shock. Disconnect it from the power
supply.
• Ensure that the power cable of a connected electrical appliance
near the hob is not in contact with the cooking zones.
Saving energy
Using energy in a responsible way not only saves money but also
helps the environment. The following will help you to save energy:
• Use proper pans for cooking. A saucepan should never be smaller
than the zone. Always remember to cover any pans.
• Ensure pans and the hob are kept clean. Soils can prevent heat
transfer and repeatedly burnt-on spillages can often only be re-
moved by products which cause damage to the environment.
• Do not uncover the pan too often (a watched pot never boils!).
Be sure to recycle all of the packaging.
All packaging materials used are 100% recyclable.

Operation
Before using the appliance for the first time
• Thoroughly clean your induction hob first. The induction hob
should be treated with the same care as a glass surface.
• Switch on the ventilation in the room or open a window, as the
appliance could emit an unpleasant smell during first use.
• Operate the appliance while observing all safety guidelines.
Induction cooking zone operation principle
An electric oscillator powers a coil placed inside the appliance. This
coil produces magnetic fields which induce eddy currents in the
cookware. The eddy currents induced by the magnetic field cause the
cookware to heat up.
This requires the use of pots and pans whose base is ferromagnetic,
in other words susceptible to magnetic fields.
Overall, induction technology is characterized by two advantages:
• Heat is only emitted by the cookware and energy use is optimised.
• There is no thermal inertia, since the cooking starts immediately
when the pot is placed on the hob and ends once it is removed.
This means the hob responds instantly to changes in power.
Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the induction hob,
which do not affect its correct operation.
• Low-frequency humming. This noise arises when the cookware
is empty and stops when water is poured or food is placed in the
cookware.
