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 (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 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” 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. 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 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 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 three 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.

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 sufficiently
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.
How to install the hob
Overall dimensions of the hob:
Width: 900 mm Depth: 350 mm
Worktop cut-out dimensions:
Width: 880 mm Depth: 330 mm
1. Make the required hole in the worktop. Before doing this, you must
check the instructions supplied with any cooker hood to ensure that you
will have the required clearance. The cut-out (Fig.7) shows a 60mm gap
from the wall to the cut-out edge. The distance from the hob, when
fitted, to the back wall is 50mm.
If a splashback/worktop upstand is to be fitted, take this into account when
cutting the hole. The minimum distance that the hob should be positioned
away from the rear wall or splashback is 50mm.
2. Fix the foam seal underneath the appliance by following the outline of
the worktop upon which the hob will rest. This ensures an airtight seal
with the worktop. Do not use silicone type sealant.

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. Failure to allow sufficient ventilation could cause
damage to the hob and constitutes incorrect installation, which is not
covered by the warranty.
If fitting 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 will not allow the hob to be used at the same time as a pyrolytic
programme on the oven.
