purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 50mm space shall be preserved
around the hole. Be sure that the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm.
Please select heat-resistant work surface material to avoid larger deformation
caused by the heat radiation from the appliance. Installation as shown below:

Before locating the fixing brackets
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging). Do not apply
force onto the controls protruding from the hob. Fix the hob on the work surface by screw
four brackets on the bottom of hob (see picture) after installation. Adjust the bracket
position to suit for different work surface’s thickness.
Connecting the hob to the mains power supply
The power supply should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, or a
single-pole circuit breaker. The method of connection is shown below.
1. If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, this should be done by an authorized
technician using the proper tools, so as to avoid any accidents.
2. If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply, an omnipolar circuit
breaker must be installed with a minimum gap of 3mm between thecontacts.
3. The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and it
complies with the safety regulations.
4. The cable must not be bent or compressed and shall be checked regularly.

Using the Touch Controls
• The controls respond to sensor touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
• You will hear a beep corresponding to the sensor touch function.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a
utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls
difficult to operate.
Choosing the right Cookware
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the
same size as the cooking zone. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the hob –do not slide / touch, or they may scratch the glass.

Using Suitable Cookware for Induction
Use cookware made from ferromagnetic materials which are compatible with the induction
principle. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan. We
recommend cookware made from cast iron, enamel coated steel or stainless steel
cookware designed for induction cooking. Pans made of pure stainless steel, aluminum or
copper without magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic and stoneware are not
suitable for use in the induction zone. Cookware with aluminum bottoms is not
recommended as it can cause metallic, shiny marks to appear on the glass ceramic surface
which are difficult to remove.
To test the compatibility of the cookware
Turn on the appliance and put some water in the cookware you want to check, and then
place the cookware on a cooking zone at any power level. You will notice that the
induction cooker remain cooking. If the power display the error code , the cookware is
incompatible and unsuitable for use with induction cooking.
To obtain best results
• Cookware with thick flat bases should be chosen for the benefit of uniform heat
distribution. Avoid using cookware with rough or deformed bases.
• Use of cookware with enamel coated base can prevent the glass top from getting
scratched.
• Always use pans with a diameter large enough to cover the cooking zone fully to
achieve even cooking and more efficient heat distribution.

of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone are clean and dry.
3. Touch the heating zone selection control.
4. Select a heat setting by sliding the control panel. If you don’t choose a heat setting within
1 minute, the induction/ceramic hob will automatically switch off. You will need to start
again from step 1. You can modify the heat setting at any time during cooking. By sliding

4.Beware of hot surfaces. “H” will show which cooking zone is hot to touch. It will
disappear when the surface has cooled down to a safe temperature. It can also be

that is stillhot.
