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 ensure children cannot reach 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.

5
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.

6
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 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 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.

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 one minute
and a maximum of 99 minutes. This timer can be used separately for
each zone, and an LED will indicate the zone positions for each of the
active timers. Once the timers are set, the timer display will show the
time remaining on the first zone to finish cooking. The timer can also
be used as a minute minder to countdown time, when the zones are
not in use.

13
Ecient Use of your Hob
The hob is equipped with zones of dierent sizes, designed to
accommodate most shapes and sizes of pan. For best results,
only use pans with flat bottoms and choose an appropriate zone
depending on the size of the pan. 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.
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 must
be clean before use to prevent any scratches on the hob top.

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.7.
Ventilation requirements:
This appliance must be installed to
allow air to flow freely to the air intake
and from the air outlet. An air gap of
20mm is recommended immediately
below the hob.
Failure to allow sucient ventilation
could cause damage to the hob and
constitutes incorrect installation, which
is not covered by the warranty (Fig 5).

If tting 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.6). 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 flammable items
in the cupboard below the appliance.
•If an oven is to be installed below the hob, the thermal safety system
on the hob may not allow the hob to be used at the same time as a
pyrolytic programme on the oven.

20
Notes:
•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
suciently ventilated. In the event that this occurs, the control panel
will show E2, ER21 or ER40. 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.
