The power cable of the appliance must not touch the hot areas of the hob. The

cable insulation and hob can be damaged.

This appliance complies with current safety regulations and electromagnetic

compatibility regulations.

Nevertheless, people with a peacemaker should not use this appliance.

Electric Induction hobs Chef’s EH-XXX533

It is impossible to guarantee that all such devices found on the market comply

with current safety regulations and electromagnetic compatibility regulations, and

that dangerous interference will not occur. It is also possible that people with other

types of device, such as hearing aid, could experience some discomfort.

Switching the hob off

Always switch the hob using the main switch of the Control Panel after each

use. Do not wait until the hob switches off automatically when the pan is

removed.

Causes of damage: The base of the pans

The rough bases of pans may scratch the hob.

Avoid leaving empty pans on the hotplates. These

may cause damage.

Hot pans

Never rest hot pans on the control panel, the indicator area or the hob surround.

Salt, sugar and sand

salt, sugar and sand may scratch the ceran glass.

Do not lean on the hob or use it as work surface.

Hard and pointed objects

Hard or pointed objects may cause damage if they fall

onto the hob.

Spilt food

Sugar and other similar products may damage the

hob.

These products should be removed immediately using

a glass scraper.

Inappropriate cleaning products

Discolorations in the metal are caused by using unsuitable cleaning products

and wear as a result of contact with pans.

Electric Induction hobs Chef’s EH-XXX533

Plastic and foil

Aluminum foil and plastic containers will melt if placed on the hot areas of the

hob.

Advice on saving energy

Use a pan with thick flat base. Curved bases

increase energy consumption.

Place a ruler on the base of the pan, if there are

no gaps, the base of the pan is completely flat.

The diameter of the base of the pan should fit the

size of the hotplate.

Check if the manufacturer has indicated the upper diameter of the pan. In

general, this is greater than the diameter of the base of the pan.

If the diameter of the pan does not fit the diameter of the hotplate, you are

recommended to use a pan which is larger than the size of the hotplate, or else

about half the energy will be lost.

Choose pans which are the right size for the amount of food to be prepared. A

large pan which is half full will consume a lot of energy.

Always centre the pan on the hotplate and always cover the pan with the

matching lid. Cooking without using the lid quadruples energy consumption.

Cook using small amounts of water. This will save energy and will also help

green vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals.

During their cooking, food such as stews, soups may heat up too quickly

without any indication, spilling out of the cookware.

It is therefore advisable to heat this type of food gently, selecting a suitable

power level and stirring the contents before and during cooking.

We recommend not to use for Induction hob pots that have been used in a gas

hob fire can deform the flatness of bottom). In case of use, check that bottom is

flat.

2. Installation instructions

EH-XXX 533 Cut-out Dimension

Important notes

Safety in use is only guaranteed if the

technical installation of the hob has been carried

out correctly and in accordance with the

installation instructions. The installation

technician shall be liable for any damage cause as

a result of incorrect installation.

Only an authorized technician is able to

connect the appliance. The guidelines set out by

the electricity provider must be observed.

Electric Induction hobs Chef’s EH-XXX533

This appliance should be used only with an earthed connection.

Using this appliance without an earthed connection or after it has been

incorrectly installated may, in very rare cases, cause serious harm.

The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any malfunction or damage

which is caused by incorrect electrical installation.

If the appliance is not fitted with an accessible plug, disconnecting means must

be incorporated in the fixed installation, in accordance with the installation

regulations.

The power cable must be positioned so that it does not touch any of the hot

parts of the hob.

Refrigerators, dishwashers, ovens, or washing machines must not be installed

under the induction hob.

Any change to the appliance’s interior, including changing the power cable,

must be performed by the Customer Service.

Preparing the Kitchen

The worktop should be flat and horizontal. The aperture should be cut before

the appliance is installed. Remove any shavings, as these can affect the operation

of the electrical components. When the cutting has been completed, the unit’s

stability should be checked again.

Surfaces which have been cut should be sealed so that they are heat resistant

and so that they do not swell when moist.

The kitchen units to be fitted must resist temperatures of up to 90oC.

The gap between the aperture and the side wall must be at least: 40 mm

It is not recommended that the hob be placed between two side walls but, if

this is the case, a gap of at least 200 mm should also be left on one side.

If the induction hob is installed above a sterilizer there must be a gap of 70 mm

from the top of worktop to the top of the sterilizer.

If the induction hob is installed without sterilizer or above a drawer, the

worktop thick around the hob must be 20 mm as minimum.

Electric Induction hobs Chef’s EH-XXX533

If the interior width of the kitchen unit is less than 700 mm, a 80 mm – long

cut must be made in the side walls from the top section of the hob.

Taking into account the hob ventilation:

An aperture must be cut in the top section of the back of the kitchen unit, 680

mm wide and 45 mm high.

There must be a gap of 20 mm between the back of the kitchen unit and the

kitchen wall.

if the hob is installed above a drawer, allow a gap of 65 mm between the

drawer and the top section of the worktop.

Installing and connecting the hob

The earth wire ( green and yellow) should be connected first and disconnected

last. It should also be longer than the others, so that even if the hob is moving the

other wires can be disconnected before the earth wire.

Connection diagram ( see figure)

1. Brown

2. Blue

3. Green and Yellow

Is required 16A electrical installation at customer’s house (electrical circuit,

socket and fuse ).

Do not trap the lead during installation and do not guide it over sharp edges.

The hob and the worktop should not be sealed with silicone as the hob itself

has a seal which serves this function.

Removing the hob

Disconnect the cooker from the power supply.

Push out the hob from below

3. Induction cooking

Advantages of induction cooking

Greater speed in cooking and frying; as the pan is heated directly.

Reduced energy consumption

Cleaner and easier to use; spilt food does not burn as much on the hob.

Cooking control and safety; the hob supplies or cuts off the heat as soon as

the controls are operated. The Induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the

pan is removed before the power has been switched off.

Suitable pans

Ferromagnetic pans are the only pans which are suitable for induction

cooking. They can be made of:

enameled steel

cast iron

specially designed cookware for induction cooking made from stainless

steel

Special pans for induction cooking.

Other types of special pans are available for induction cooking, where the base

of the pan is not entirely ferromagnetic. Check the diameter as this could affect the

pan detection as well as the cooking results.

Checking pans using a magnet

To find out whether the pans are suitable, check

that they are attracted to a magnet.

The manufacturer will usually indicate if their

pans are suitable for induction cooking.

Unsuitable pans: Never use pans made from:

standard, high quality steel

glass / earthenware

copper / aluminum

Characteristics of the base of the pan

Electric Induction hobs Chef’s EH-XXX533

The characteristics of the base of the pan can affect the evenness of the cooking.

Pans which are made from heat-diffusing materials

( such as “sandwich” pans made from stainless steel) distribute the heat evenly,

saving time and energy.

No pan or incorrect size pans

If no pan is place on the hotplate, or the pan is not made of a suitable material

or it is not a suitable size, the heat setting on the hotplate indicator will flash.

Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the indicator flashing. If there is a

delay of more than 90 seconds, the hotplate switches off automatically.

Empty pans or pans with a thin base

Do not heat empty pans and do not use pans with thin bases. Although your

hob is equipped with an internal safety system, empty cookware can heat up so

quickly that the “automatic OFF” function does not have time to react and a very

high temperature may be reached. The base of the pan could melt and damage the

hob’s glass surface. If this happens, do not touch the pan and switch off the

hotplate. If it does not work after cooling, contact our Local Service Center or

dealer.

Pan detection

Each hotplate has a minimum limit for pan detection which varies according to

the material from which the pan being used is made. It is for this reason you are

recommended to use a hotplate which matches the diameter of the pan.
