General safety precautions
SURFACE PRIME
1. Thank you for purchasing the COOKING SURFACE PRIME induction cooktop. Please read all the instructions
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 ma-
nufactured 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 experienced
engineer or an authorised service centre.
4. It is recommended to use the COOKWARE set of pots and pans, which can guarantee the maximum performance
of the COOKING SURFACE PRIME induction hob. If different pots and pans are used, please note that they must
in any case be suitable for cooking on induction hobs, with dimensions matching the cooking area; in any case
optimum performance of the system is not guaranteed and silicon spacers, included in the package, must be used.
5. The use of accessories or appliances not supplied by the manufacturer (such as adapter plates for induction hobs)
can cause damage or malfunctions to the equipment or cause injuries.

Rules for the safe use
of the induction cooktop
SURFACE PRIME
1. Check that the electrical supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the specification 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 maintained
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 qualified personnel and that the cooktop 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 stoneware surface is cracked or broken, regardless of the cause of breakage, stop using the co-
oking system and turn it off immediately by disconnecting the hob from the socket. Contact your dealer or technical
service.
8. Use COOKWARE brand pots and pans or other cookware suitable for induction cooking, with a diameter of
no less than 12 cm (like the majority of the pots available on the market). However, please refer to point 4 of the
general safety precautions.
9. When placing pans with a diameter of less than 10 cm or not placing a pan on the cooking zone or using an
inappropriate pan, no power will be transferred and error E1 will appear on the display.
10. After a long period of use, the cooking zone remains hot (residual). In this case, to avoid injuries or burns, it
is suggested not to touch the cooking zone. The letter “H” appears on the remote control, which indeed means a
high surface temperature.
11. To avoid overheating, do not leave cookware unattended while cooking.
12. Turn the appliance off after cooking by pressing the “On / Off” 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, fabric, etc. between the pot and the cooking zone, as they could burn.
14. Do not place other metal objects such as cans, aluminum foil, cutlery, jewelry, watches, knives, forks, spoons in
the cooking zone as they can become hot and dangerous.
15. Do not place credit cards, phone cards, cassettes or other objects sensitive to magnetic fields on the induction
cooktop as they may suffer damage.
16. Do not touch any component inside the induction system.
17. The pot must remain in the center of the cooking zone during use, otherwise it heats up irregularly and the
quality of cooking may be affected.
18. During oil heating, do not leave the induction hob unattended in order to avoid oil burning or overheating.
19. Tip: when boiling water it is recommended to use a pot cover to shorten the waiting time and save on electricity
consumption.

Instructions for use
1. Turning on: Make sure that the main switch, positioned in the bottom side of the unit, is set to “1”. Press the on/
off 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 cooking 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 flash on the LCD
display and the cooktop will automatically switch off after 60 seconds.
2. Timer mode: the “Timer” button can be used to maintain a power level for a specified 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 flash. 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 off the cooktop at the end of
the set period. If the time setting is 0, the timer function will turn off.
Note: hold down the + or - button for 3 seconds to increase or decrease the time from 10 minutes to 2 hours.
3. Lock/Unlock 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/Off 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 the cooking process: the LCD display will show “H” and blink continuously, without interrupting the ope-
ration of the system.
b. In standby mode: the LCD display will read “H” and blink continuously. It will disappear when the temperature
falls.
c. In OFF mode: the LCD display will read “H” without blinking. It will disappear when the temperature falls.
5. Turning off: press the “On / Off” button once to put the system in stand by; press the “On / Off” button twice to
permanently turn off the system.
NB: Remember that induction cooking is very efficient and quick. Heat is generated directly and rapidly in the bot-
tom 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 a silicone mat is mandatory when using non-COOKWARE pots and pans. Please note that the use of
adapter plates is strongly discouraged, especially if combined with the silicone mat.
