Induction cooking works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in the pan,
rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass becomes hot only because
the pan eventually warms it up.
Installation
Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing below.
For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 5cm space shall be kept around the
hole. Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please select heat-resistant
and insulated work surface material (Wood and similar fibrous or hygroscopic material shall
not be used as work surface material) to avoid electrical shock and larger deformation caused
by the heat radiation from the cooktop.
Note: The safety distance between the sides of the cooktop and the inner surfaces of
the worktop should be at least 3mm.

Warning: Ensure adequate ventilation
Make sure the induction cooktop is well ventilated and that the air inlet and outlet are not
blocked. In order to avoid accidental touch with the overheating bottom of the cooktop or
getting an unexpected electric shock during working, it is necessary to put a wooden insert,
fixed by screws, at a minimum distance of 50mm from the bottom of the cooktop. Follow the
requirements below.
There are ventilation holes around the outside of the cooktop. You must ensure these
holes are not blocked by the worktop when you put the cooktop into position.
•Be aware that the glue that joins the plastic or wooden material to the furniture
must resist to temperature not below 150°C, to avoid failure of the adhesive.
•The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to
withstand a temperature of 90°C.

8
Before Installing the Cooktop, Ensure:
•The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with
space requirements.
•The work surface is made of a heat-resistant and insulated material.
•If the cooktop is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
•The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable
standards and regulations.
•A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power
supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring mounted and positioned to comply
with the local wiring rules and regulations.
•The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3mm air gap
contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring
rules allow for this variation of the requirements).
•The isolating switch is easily accessible to the customer with the cooktop installed.
•You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
•You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall
surfaces surrounding the cooktop.
After Installing the Cooktop, Ensure:
•The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
•There is adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the
cooktop.
•If the cooktop is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, a thermal protection
barrier is installed below the base of the cooktop.
•The isolating switch is easily accessible.
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 cooktop.
Adjusting the Bracket Position
Fix the cooktop on the work surface by screwing 4 brackets on the bottom of cooktop (see
picture) after installation. Adjust the bracket position to suit for different counter thicknesses.

9
Under any circumstances, the brackets cannot touch with the inner surfaces of the
worktop after installation. (See picture above)
Cautions:
1. The induction cooktop must be installed by a qualified personnel or technicians. Please
never conduct the operation by yourself.
2. The cooktop shall not be installed directly above a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing
machine or clothes dryer, as the humidity may damage the cooktop electronics.
3. The induction cooktop shall be installed such that better heat radiation can be ensured
to enhance its reliability.
4. The wall and induced heating zone above the table surface shall withstand heat.
5. To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be resistant to heat.
6. A steam cleaner is not to be used.
Connecting the Cooktop to the Mains Power Supply
This cooktop must be connected to the mains power supply only by a qualified person.
Before connecting the cooktop to the mains power supply, check that:
1. The domestic wiring system is suitable for the power drawn by the cooktop.
2. The voltage corresponds to the value given in the rating plate.
3. The power supply cable sections can withstand the load specified on the rating plate.
4. To connect the cooktop to the mains power supply, do not use adapters, reducers or
branching devices, as they can cause overheating and fire.
5. The power supply cable must not touch any hot parts and must be positioned so that
its temperature will not exceed 75˚C at any point.
Check with an electrician whether the domestic wiring system is suitable without
alterations.
Any alterations must be made only by a qualified electrician.

10
If the total number of heating unit of the appliance you choose is not less than 4, then the
appliance can be connected directly to the mains by single-phase electric connection, as
shown below.
•If the cable is damaged or to be replaced, the operation must be carried out by a
qualified technician with dedicated tools to avoid any accidents.
•If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains, then an omnipolar circuit-
breaker must be installed with a minimum opening of 3mm between contacts.
•The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and
that it complies with safety regulations.
•The cable must not be bent or compressed.
•The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians.
The bottom surface and the power cord of the cooktop are not accessible after installation.

11
Operation
Before using your new induction cooktop:
•Remove any protective film that may still be on your induction cooktop.
Touch Controls
•The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
•Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
•You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
•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
•Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking.
•Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
•You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test.
Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for
induction.
•If you do not have a magnet
▪Put some water in the pan you want to check.
▪If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
•Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel,
aluminium or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic and
earthenware.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.

12
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass and is the same size
as the cooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected.
If using a pot slightly wider, the energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use a
smaller pot, efficiency could be less than expected. Pots less than 140mm could be
undetected by the cooktop. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the induction cooktop. Do not slide the pans or they may scratch the
glass.
Pan Dimension
The cooking zones are up to a limit, automatically adapting to the diameter of the pan.
However, the bottom of this pan must have a minimum diameter according to the
corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your cooktop, please place the
pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

People with a heart pacemaker should consult with their doctor before using this unit.
Cooking Guidelines
Take care when frying as oil and fat heat up very quickly, particularly if you’re using Boost. At
extremely high temperatures oil and fat will ignite spontaneously and this presents a serious
fire risk.
Cooking tips:
•When food comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
•Using a lid will reduce cooking times and save energy by retaining the heat.
•Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
•Start cooking on a high setting and reduce the setting when the food has heated
through.
Simmering, cooking rice:
•Simmering occurs below boiling point, at around 85˚C, when bubbles are just rising
occasionally to the surface of the cooking liquid. It is the key to delicious soups and
tender stews because the flavours develop without overcooking the food. You
should also cook egg-based and flour thickened sauces below boiling point.

20
•Some tasks, including cooking rice by the absorption method, may require a
setting higher than the lowest setting to ensure the food is cooked properly in the
time recommended.
Searing steak:
To cook juicy flavoursome steaks:
1. Stand the meat at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
2. Heat up a heavy-based frying pan.
3. Brush both sides of the steak with oil. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the hot pan
and then lower the meat onto the hot pan.
4. Turn the steak only once during cooking. The exact cooking time will depend on the
thickness of the steak and how cooked you want it. Times may vary from about 2 – 8
minutes per side. Press the steak to gauge how cooked it is – the firmer it feels the
more ‘well done’ it will be.
5. Leave the steak to rest on a warm plate for a few minutes to allow it to relax and
become tender before serving.
For stir-frying:
1. Choose an induction compatible flat-based wok or a large frying pan.
2. Have all the ingredients and equipment ready. Stir-frying should be quick. If cooking
large quantities, cook the food in several smaller batches.
3. Preheat the pan briefly and add two tablespoons of oil.
4. Cook any meat at first, put it aside and keep warm.
5. Stir-fry the vegetables. When they are hot but still crisp, turn the cooking zone to a
lower setting, return the meat to the pan and add your sauce.
6. Stir the ingredients gently to make sure they are heated through.
7. Serve immediately.
Detection of Small Articles
When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium) or some other small item (e.g.
knife, fork, key) has been left on the cooktop, the cooktop automatically goes on standby in 1
minute. The fan will keep cooling down the induction cooktop for a further 1 minute.
Heat Settings
The settings below are guidelines only. The exact setting will depend on several factors,
including your cookware and the amount you are cooking. Experiment with the induction
cooktop to find the settings that best suit you.
