EU Declarations of Conformity
This appliance has been manufactured to the strictest standards
and complies with all applicable legislation, including Electrical safety
(LVD) 2014/35/EU and Electromagnetic interference (EMC) 2014/30/EU.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE
PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE 2012/19/EU.
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.

• 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 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/off sensor" (5)
for approximately two seconds. The hob will beep and all four
cooking zone indicators will show “0”.
Please note: If a zone is not selected nor a power level set within ten
seconds, the hob will switch off automatically.
To set the power level
• Touch the cooking zone selector (9) for the required zone. The
hob will beep and the zone display will show a pulsating "0" on the
selected zone's indicator.
• Select the desired heat setting using the "+" or "-" selectors. The
power level ranges from 1 (minimum) to 9 (maximum). The hob will
begin heating and the cooking zone indicator will pulsate for
approximately ten seconds before remaining solidly lit. Inactive
cooking zones' indicators will dim at this point.
• This hob also has a "Keep warm" function as well as a "Booster"
function. The "Keep warm" function is available between "0" and
"1" heat settings and is shown on a cooking zone indicator as " ".
The Booster function is available after heat setting "9" and is
shown on a cooking zone indicator as "P".
Please note: After zone selection, the zone will remain active for
approximately ten seconds. If no key is touched during this time, the
zone will become inactive and the hob will switch off automatically.

9
To turn the power off to a zone
• To switch off a zone, touch the cooking zone selector (9) so that
the cooking zone indicator (7) pulsates. Then press and hold the
cooking zone selector (9) for approximately three seconds. The
cooking zone indicator will display a "0" to confirm that the zone is
now inactive but will display an " " or " " if the zone is still hot to the
touch.
• If switching off multiple zones, the above step needs to be taken
for each zone. When all the zones are at "0", the hob will switch off
automatically after approximately ten seconds.
• Alternatively, to switch off the hob immediately, touch and hold the
"On/off sensor" (5) for approximately two seconds. Any zones
that are still hot to the touch will display an " " or " ".
Booster function
• The hob is equipped with a booster function on all zones, allowing
a higher power level than the maximum for approximately ten
minutes. To turn on the booster function, touch the cooking zone
selector (9) for the desired zone, set the heat setting to "9" using the
"+" sensor (6) and then touch the "+" sensor (6) once more. "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 cancel the booster at any time, select the cooking zone using
the cooking zone selector (9) and lower the heat setting using the
"-" sensor (8).

10
Please note: The booster function cannot be used on two vertically
arranged 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 sufficiently.
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 function remains active and 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 efficiency 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 off 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 on page 11.
