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 (EMC)

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.

•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 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 flashes, 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.

The table below oers guidance as to what each power level is for.
Using Your Hob
To switch the hob on
To switch the power on, touch the “On/O” key for approximately
two seconds. The hob will beep and all four zone displays will show
zero.
To switch the hob o
To switch the power on, touch the “On/O” key for approximately
two seconds
Please note: If a power level is not set within approximately ten
seconds, the hob will switch o automatically.
To set the power level
There are slider keys (E) for each individual zone which allow you to
set the power level by touching anywhere along them for the zone
required.
Power level Type of cooking
0 Switched o
1/2 Melting (butter/chocolate) or keeping food warm
2/3 Keeping food hot or to heat small quantities of liquid

To increase the power level for a zone, slide your finger along its
slider (E) toward the right.
To reduce the power level for a zone, slide your finger along its slider
(E) toward the left.
To turn the power o
To switch o a single zone, touch the left hand end of the slider (E)
for the zone no longer required. This will set the power level to zero.
When all the zones are at zero, the hob will switch o automatically
after approximately ten seconds.
Alternatively, to switch o the hob immediately, touch and hold the
“On/O” key for approximately two seconds.
Bridge function
This feature allows you to connect the front and back heating zones
on the left or the right side of the hob together thus merging 2 zones
into one larger one. This is particularly useful for cooking with large
pans.
To set the bridge function
Touch the booster keys for the 2 adjacent zones at the same time.
The symbols “ ” and “ ” will show against the power level displays
for the 2 zones. The heating level of the bridged zone is controlled
just by the left hand slider of the 2 connected zones.
To cancel the bridge function
Touch the booster keys for the 2 adjacent zones at the same time.

10
The symbols “ ” and “ ” against the power level displays for the
2 zones will go out and the zones will be independently controlled
again.
Pause function
When one or more heating zones is active it is possible to pause
all cooking temporarily without losing the settings for the individual
zones. Cooking can then be resumed at the same settings when the
interruption is over. This is particularly useful when answering the
phone or other interruptions while cooking.
To set the pause function
Touch the pause button . The pause LED comes on and all cooking
zones turn o temporarily. They remain turned o until the pause
function is cancelled.
Alternatively, if the pause function is not cancelled within ten minutes
the hob will switch fully o.
To cancel the pause function
Touch the pause button , then within ten seconds touch one of the
sliders. Cooking will resume at the same settings as before the pause
function was activated.
Special Programmes
The hob has three optional preset programmed heating levels for
each of the zones. These may be selected by touching the “Special
Programmes” key for each cooking zone. Touching this key cycles
through the three programmes:-
