Appliance Model
Serial Number
CE Declarations of Conformity
This appliance has been manufactured to the strictest standards and
complies with all applicable legislation, including Electrical safety
(LVD) 2006/95/EC and Electromagnetic interference compatibility

3
(EMC) 2004/108/EC. Parts intended to come into contact with food
conform to 89/109/EC.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE
PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2002/96/EC.
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.
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.

4
•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.

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 one second. The hob will beep and all four cooking
zone indicators, and both timer indicators, will show “0”.
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 touch the desired zone's indicator (7) and then set the
desired power level using the heat setting slider sensor (5). 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.
Please note: A cooking zone indicator will pulsate when zone
control/adjustment is available and will continue to pulsate for
approximately 10 seconds after a power level has been set.
To deactivate a zone
•Touch the relevant zone's indicator (7) to activate zone control. You
can then use the heat setting slider sensor (5) to return the heat
setting to 0. The cooking zone indicator will display a "0" to confirm
that the zone is now inactive.
• 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

9
"On/o sensor" (1) for approximately one second.
Please note: Any zones that are still hot to the touch will display an
" " or " " provided the mains power supply is not interrupted.
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 indicator (7) and then touch the booster
function sensor (5). "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
indicator (7) and then use the heat setting slider sensor (5) to return
the heat setting to "0".
Please note: The booster function can be used on a pair of bridged
cooking zones at the same time. However the booster function cannot
be used on more than two zones (or one bridge) at once. This is to
prevent damage to the internal components which may be caused by
overheating.

10
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 inside the hob
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.
