General safety precautions
1. Thank you for purchasing the COOKING SURFACE PRIME induction cooktop. Please read all the in-
structions carefully before using the appliance. Keep the instruction manual for future reference.
2. Please note that the appliance is only compatible with 20 mm thick sintered ceramic stoneware kitchen
tops manufactured by ABK Group. Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
3. Do not use the appliance if the cables or plugs are damaged. All repairs must be carried out by an expe-
rienced engineer or an authorised service centre.
4. When moving the appliance, always take care not to touch hot surfaces and watch out for possible spil-
lage of hot liquids.
5. We recommend using the COOKWARE brand set of pots and pans, which ensure maximum performance
of the COOKING SURFACE PRIME induction cooktop. When using any other kind of cookware, please note
that it must be suitable for cooking on induction cooktops and must be the right size for the cooking zone.
The silicone spacers supplied in the package must be used.
6. The use of accessories or equipment not supplied by the manufacturer may damage the appliance or
result in injury.

Rules for the safe use
of the induction cooktop
1. Check that the electrical supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the specication plate
located underneath the induction cooktop.
2. Electrical connections must comply with local regulations. National and local electrical regulations must
be followed. Note for installation engineer: the domestic power supply cables must have a diameter of at
least 4 mm.
3. Make sure that the induction cooktop is properly ventilated. A distance of at least 10 cm should be main-
tained below the base of the appliance. It is recommended to install the induction cooktop in a drawer that
can be opened to avoid the risk of overheating and a consequent reduction in performance.
4. Do not install the induction cooktop near other heat sources as the system’s thermal sensors may read
incorrect values.
5. Ensure that installation, support and inspection are carried out by qualied personnel and that the co-
oktop is positioned properly and is not subject to vibrations.
6. If possible, clean the ventilation grilles underneath the appliance regularly using a dry cloth or a vacuum
cleaner. Do not use water to clean the ventilation grilles.
7. If the porcelain countertop is cracked or broken, stop using the appliance, switch it o immediately and
remove the power plug from the socket. Contact your dealer to replace the countertop.
8. Use COOKWARE brand pots and pans or other cookware suitable for induction cooking, with a diameter
of at least 12 cm (like most commercially available cookware).
9. If cookware is not present on the cooking area, or if you attempt to use unsuitable cookware or cookwa-
re with a diameter of less than 10 cm, no power will be supplied and the error message E1 will appear on
the display.
10. After a long period of use, the cooking zone may remain hot after cooking. To avoid injury or burns, do
not touch the cooking zone.
11. To avoid overheating, do not leave cookware unattended while cooking.
12. Turn the appliance o after cooking by pressing the “On / O” button. This will prevent the cooking
process from restarting automatically when a pan is returned to the cooking zone.
13. Do not insert pieces of paper, cardboard, cloth, etc. between the saucepan and the cooking zone as
they pose a re risk.
14. Do not place any other metallic items such as cans, aluminium foil, cutlery, jewellery, watches, knives,
forks or spoons in the cooking zone as they may heat up and create a hazard.
15. Do not place credit cards, phone cards, cassettes or other objects sensitive to magnetic elds on the
induction cooktop as they may suer damage.
16. Do not touch any component inside the induction system.
17. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by qualied personnel.

18. The pan must remain in the centre of the cooking zone during use, otherwise it will heat unevenly re-
sulting in burnt food and poor cooking quality.
19. When heating oil, do not leave the induction cooktop unattended as the oil may burn or overheat.
20. Tip: when boiling water we recommend covering the pan with a lid as the water will boil more quickly
and save electricity.

Instructions for use
SURFACE PRIME
1. Turning on: Make sure that the main switch is set to “1”. Press the on/o button on the remote control
to turn on the induction cooktop. The appliance will beep and the cooking zones will appear on the remote
control’s LCD display. The cooktop will enter standby mode. To start cooking, choose one of the three co-
oking zones by pressing the corresponding circle on the display. The pot or pan will automatically start to
heat up. If a pot or pan is not present in the chosen cooking zone, the message “E1” will ash on the LCD
display and the cooktop will automatically switch o after 60 seconds.
2. Timer mode: the “Timer” button can be used to maintain a power level for a specied period of time. The
timer can be set after selecting the cooking zone and power level. Press the + or - button on the Timer once
and the LCD display will show 0:00 and the time will ash. Press + or - to increase or reduce the time setting
from 1 minute to 2 hours. After setting the timer, the LCD screen will display the remaining time and turn
o the cooktop at the end of the set period. If the time setting is 0, the timer function will turn o.
Note: hold down the + or - button for 3 seconds to increase or decrease the time from 10 minutes to 2
hours.
3. Lock mode: the “Lock” button can be used to keep the “power level” and “timer” functions locked at set
levels. Press the “Lock” button to activate this function when the system is in operation. The LCD display
will show the lock symbol “L”. In Lock mode, no buttons other than the On/O button and the Lock button
can be used. Hold down the “Lock” button again for 3 seconds to cancel the lock function.
4. High temperature indication function:
If the cooktop becomes excessively hot, the LCD display will read “H” (hot) and behave as follows in the
various modes:
a. During heating: the LCD display will read “H” without blinking. Heating will then stop and the LCD will
display the power level (from 1 to 6).
b. In standby mode: the LCD display will read “H” and blink continuously. It will disappear when the tempe-
rature falls.
c. In OFF mode: the LCD display will read “H” without blinking. It will disappear when the temperature falls.
5. Turning o: press the “On / O” button to turn o the cooktop. The cooking zone heating process will
stop.
NB: Remember that induction cooking is very ecient and quick. Heat is generated directly and rapidly in
the bottom of the pan. For this reason, never place an empty saucepan in the cooking zone. Place the oil
or other cooking ingredients in the pan before you begin cooking and select the heating level according to
your requirements.
During cooking the pan must always remain in the centre of the cooking zone, otherwise the bottom of
the pan will heat unevenly and may result in burnt food and poor cooking quality. Check the pan constantly
while the oil is heating up to avoid overheating and the risk of burns.
The use of silicone trivets is essential when using pots and pans that are not part of the COOKWARE brand.
