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.
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 – the vitroceramic glass surface
is highly resistant but not unbreakable.

5
•Do not place hot lids flat on the hob top. A “suction” eect 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. 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.
With regard to the compliance of the pacemaker or any potential
incompatibility, you should obtain information from the manufacturer
or your attending physician.

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 a 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
removed 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.

7
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 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.

Using Your Hob
To switch the hob on
•To switch the power on, touch and hold the "On/o sensor" (1) for
approximately two seconds. The hob will beep, all four cooking
zone indicators will illuminate with either the symbols shown in part
5 of Fig. 2 or a capital or lower case 'H'.
Please note: If a power level is not set within ten seconds, the hob
will switch o automatically.
To activate a zone and set a power level
•Simply set the desired power level using the ‘+’ and ‘-’ adjustment
sensors for the required zone. The standard power levels range
from 1 (minimum) to 9 (maximum). The hob will then begin heating
providing that the correct cookware is being used.
To deactivate a zone
•Touch the relevant zone's ‘+’ and ‘-’ adjustment sensors simultane-
ously for approximately 1 second.
• If switching o multiple zones, the above steps need to be taken
for each zone. When all the zones are at "0", the hob will switch o
automatically after approximately ten seconds.
•Alternatively, to switch o the hob immediately, touch and hold the
"On/o sensor" (1) for approximately two seconds.
Please note: Any zones that are still hot to the touch will display an
" " provided the mains power supply is not interrupted.

10
Booster
The hob is equipped with a booster function on all zones, allowing a
higher power level than the maximum for approximately ten minutes.
To activate the booster on a zone
•Touch the desired zone's booster function sensor (3). "P" will show
in the cooking zone indicator to show that the booster is on.
• The booster function automatically deactivates after 10 minutes of
usage. The cooking zone will continue to operate at its nominal
power at this point. The booster can be reactivated after this time
provided the hob's internal components have not overheated.
To deactivate the booster on a zone
• To cancel the booster at any time, touch the desired zone's booster
function sensor (3) or use the ‘+’ and ‘-’ adjustment sensors to return
the heat a dierent setting.
Please note: The booster function cannot be used on all cooking
zones at the same time. This is to prevent damage to the internal
modules caused by overheating.
If the appliance's electronic circuits or induction coils overheat
whilst the booster function is in operation then the function will be
automatically deactivated and the zone will continue to operate at its
nominal power. The booster function will be available again once the
internal components have been cooled suciently.
It is normal for a high pitched whirring noise to begin whilst the
booster function is in use. This is the cooling fan(s) inside the hob

11
keeping the internal components as cool as possible.
If a pot is removed from the cooking zone whilst the booster function
is in use, the ten minute countdown continues.
Operating time limiter
In addition to the booster deactivation timer, each zone has an
operating time limiter to increase overall eciency and to prevent
the hob from being left on indefinitely. If a zone's heat setting is
not changed for a specific duration then the associated zone is
automatically switched o and residual heat indicator activated.
Zones can still be used as normal in accordance with the operating
instructions. The operating time limiter is set according to the last
selected heat setting. The maximum operating times for each setting
can be found below.

Timer/Minute Minder
The hob is equipped with a timer that allows a finish time to be set for
the end of cooking on any zone, between a minimum of 1 minute and
a maximum of 99 minutes. This timer can be used separately for each
zone. In normal use, the timer ending prompts the zone heating to
end as well. However the timer can also be used as a minute minder
to count down time without halting heating.
Please note: At the end of the timer, the selected zone will switch
o and the hob will beep for approximately two minutes. The zone’s
display will also flash. To switch o the beep and the flashing display,
touch any key. This beeping also occurs after the minute minder time
has elapsed and the same process to switch o the beep applies.
To set the minute minder
• Switch the hob on using the on/o sensor (1) if necessary.
• With no heat level set, touch the timer sensor on any zone to
activate the minute minder. Use the ‘+’ and ‘-’ adjustment sensors to
set the individual minutes.
• After approximately 3 seconds the selection will be confirmed, the
LED above the timer sensor will illuminate and the minute minder
will begin counting down.
To cancel the minute minder
• Touch and hold the timer indicator for approximately 3 seconds or
use the ‘-’ adjustment sensor to return the time to 0.
Please note: Setting a power level on a zone that has already had a
minute minder set will cause the minute minder to act like a timer and

13
turn the zone o once the time has elapsed.
To set the timer
•First switch on the hob if necessary and set the desired zone to the
power level required.
•Touch the timer sensor (7) to activate the timer. Use the ‘+’ and ‘-’
adjustment sensors to set the individual minutes.
•After a short wait, the timed zone LED will flash to confirm that the
timer is active.
•If no time is set within ten seconds, the timer will become inactive
and the zone will continue cooking.
•Follow the above steps (except switching the hob on and setting a
power level) to adjust the duration at any time. Touch the timer
sensor (7) at any time to check the remaining cooking time.
To cancel the timer
• Touch and hold the timer indicator for approximately 3 seconds or
use the ‘-’ adjustment sensor to return the time to 0.
•Cancelling the timer will not switch o a zone. You should switch
the zone o manually if required.
Please note: You can set a timer on each zone. When zones are
bridged, the one timer controls both zones.

14
Pause Function
The hob is equipped with a pause function that allows the user to
suspend the hob's operation for a brief period of time and to easily
continue cooking when convenient from the previously assigned
settings. This is particularly useful when your attention is drawn from
the hob. Remember, however, that what you are cooking should never
be left unattended.
To activate the pause function
• At least one hob zone must be active. Press the pause function
sensor (2). All cooking zone indicators will show a pause symbol (II).
Any zones that are hot to the touch will alternate between the
pause symbol and " " provided mains power is not interrupted.
To deactivate the pause function and resume cooking
• Press the pause function sensor (2).
Please note: The pause function can only be used for a maximum of
10 minutes. If the hob is not reactivated within this time then the hob
switches itself o.
Keep Warm Function
Each zone is equipped with a keep warm function that is designed to
keep food at a stable temperature. This allows for the serving of food
to be delayed and also for the melting of butter or chocolate.
• A flat-bottomed pan must be used so that the temperature can be
accurately measured by the detector within the heating zone.

15
• Due to the potential for the spread of bacteria it is not advisable to
keep food warm for more than two hours.
• There are three temperature levels that can be set: 42°C, 70°C and
94°C.
To activate the keep warm function
• Touch the keep warm sensor (8) and then use the required zone’s
‘+’ and ‘-’ adjustment sensors to set the keep warm level (see
below).
• Touching the ‘+’ sensor once will activate the 42°C heating level.
• Touching the ‘+’ sensor twice will activate the 70°C heating level.
• Touching the ‘+’ sensor three times will activate the 94°C heating
level.
• The selection will confirm after approximately 10 seconds.
Please note: The cooking zone indicator will display the ( ) symbol
when the 42°C heating level is active, the ( ) symbol will be
displayed when the 70°C heating level is active and the ( ) symbol
will be displayed when the 94°C heating level is active.
To deactivate the keep warm function
• Touch the relevant zone’s ‘+’ and ‘-’ adjustment sensors to change
the power level. The selection will confirm after approximately 10
seconds.
Please note: Any zones that are still hot to the touch will display an
" " or " " provided the mains power supply is not interrupted.

16
Bridge Function
The hob is equipped with a bridge function which allows you to use
the two right side heating zones with just one zone's controls. This
function is intended for use with pans such as fish kettles.
To bridge the left-hand zones
Touch the ‘-’ adjustment sensors for the rear and front right cooking
zones. The display should show . The front right zone controls will
now alter both zones’ heat setting.
To cancel the bridge
Simply touch the same two ‘-’ adjustment sensors that were used
to activate the bridge function. If the bridge has been successfully
cancelled then the two zone indicators that were bridged will each
display a 0. The zones will now be individually operational.
Please note: Pans placed on bridged zones must always cover the
middle of the zones;

17
Auto-heat Function
Every zone is equipped with an auto-heat function, which reduces the
warming up time for the zone.
To activate the auto-heat function on a zone
•Simply set the desired power level to 12 using the ‘+’ adjustment
sensor. Then, touch the the ‘+’ adjustment sensor again until ‘A’ alter-
nates with the power level on the display.
•Set the required power level. The display will alternate between the
set power level and “A” for a preset period of time, before reducing
the power to the originally selected heat setting. The duration of
each auto-heat setting's limiter is shown in the table below.
To deactivate the auto-heat function
• Simply set the power level to "0" or touch the relevant zone's ‘+’ and
‘-’ adjustment sensors simultaneously for approximately 1 second.

Safety Key Lock
To prevent accidental use, the hob has a safety key lock which
switches controls o temporarily or completely. The safety key lock
can be activated when the hob is turned on but not when power has
been switched o at, or the appliance disconnected from, the mains.
Disconnecting the appliance from the mains will deactivate the safety
key lock.
To switch on the lock, simply press and hold the safety key lock
sensor ( ). The safety key lock indicator will illuminate. Only the on/
o sensor will now be active. Switching the hob on will prompt ‘Lo’
(locked) to appear on the display.
To switch o the lock, simply press and hold the safety key lock
sensor ( ). The safety key lock indicator will extinguish.
Residual Heat Indicator
The hob is equipped with residual heat indicators to warn when any
of the zones are still hot to the touch after use. An “ ” will show in a
zone’s indicator if the relevant zone is between approximately 45°c
and 60°c. An “ ” will show if the relevant zone is approximately 60°c
or above. You should avoid touching any zone whilst the hob is in use
or whilst either residual heat indicator is displayed.
In the event of a power cut or failure, the residual heat indicators will
illuminate after the power supply is restored. When there is no power
supply to the hob however the residual heat indicators will not work,
yet the hob zone(s) may still be hot, so extra care must be taken.

19
Ecient Use of Your Hob
The hob is equipped with zones designed to accommodate most
shapes and sizes of pan. For best results, only use pans with flat
bottoms. The most ecient use of the hob is shown below, where the
pan and zone are correctly chosen.
Use pan lids where possible to minimize the energy usage of your
appliance.
Pans placed on the left zones must always cover the center markings
of a zone. When bridged, the pan(s) must cover both. Locating the
centre of a pan on the zone markings will ensure optimum eciency.
It is very important that the pans used on the hob are made of a suitable
material and have the correct type of base. The base of the pan and
the hob top must be clean before use to prevent any scratches on the
hob top.

Please note: Extra care should be taken if cast iron pans are used as
these have coarse bases which may damage the hob top.
Care and Maintenance
Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before
undertaking any cleaning or maintenance.
Important:
•Steam cleaners must not be used when cleaning this appliance.
•You should use a non-abrasive cleaner to clean the hob top. Any
abrasive cleaner (including Cif) will scratch the surface and could
erase the control panel markings.
•Sugar and starch can cause permanent damage to the surface of
the hob. Wipe away any spillages immediately but be careful given
that the hob top will be hot during and after usage.
•Avoid letting pans boil over where possible to ensure that the need
for cleaning is minimal.
•Always use a soft sponge or cloth where possible. Utensils such as
scouring sponges and some brushes could cause scratches to the
hob top.
