Injury prevention
Children should not be left unattended in an area where the hob is in use. Never
allow children to sit or stand on any part of the hob.
Caution: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the hob.
Children climbing on the hob to reach these items could be injured.
Use the Child Safety Lock to prevent children from turning on the heaters or
changing the settings. See “Child Safety lock” for more information.
Keep all pots and pans out of children’s reach. Danger of burning or scalding.
Do not touch the hob or the surrounding areas during or immediately after use.
The hob may be hot even though it is dark in color. Wait until the residual heat
indicators go out.
Protect your hands with insulated gloves or potholders when using the hob. Use
only dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot sur-
faces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the hot heating
elements. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the hob.
Be aware of loose tting or hanging clothing when operating the hob, they may
present a re hazard.
Pot and pan handles should be turned inward and not extend over the countertop
to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and spills.
Never leave a hob unattended at high settings or when cooking with oil or fat.
Overheated oil could ignite. Always heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it heats.
Do not use water on grease res. Smother or use a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher on any re or ame.
When frying food make sure that the food is as dry as possible before placing
it in oil. Moisture can cause hot oil to splatter and boil over. At high settings, be
cautious of splattering grease or boiling over liquids which may produce smoke.
Do not ambé under an exhaust hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood
by the suction and the grease lters may ignite.

Do not heat unopened containers. Built-up pressure may cause the container to
burst and result in injury.
Before removing pots and pans be sure to turn off the heaters.
To prevent burns and breathing difculty, allow the hob to cool before cleaning.
Some cleaners may produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot surface.
When wiping spills on a hot hob with a wet sponge or cloth, be careful to avoid
steam burns.
Do not let ammable materials, i.e. cooking grease, accumulate on the hob.
Never cover the hob with a cloth. A re may result.
Do not place items other than pots and pans on the hob.
Flammable materials should not be stored on or near the hob.
The hob is tted with a cooling fan. Drawers under the hob are not recommended.
If a drawer is tted directly underneath the hob, ensure that there is sufcient
space between the drawer, its contents and the underside of the appliance in
order to ensure sufcient ventilation for the hob.
Do not store small items or paper in the drawer. They could get sucked into the
housing by the fan and cause damage or impair cooling. Ensure that no aerosols,
combustible
liquids or other ammable materials are kept in this drawer. If cutlery inserts are
to be placed in the drawer they must be made of heat-rsistant material.

Damage protection
Never place hot pots or pans on the touch controls, this may damage the elec-
tronics.
Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface of the hob. Even lightweight objects
may cause damage.
Do not use pots or pans with pronounced edges or ridges on the ceramic hob.
These could scratch the hob permanently. See “Cookware” for more information.
Grains of salt and sand can cause scratches. Make sure that the bases of any
pots and pans are clean, free of any fat or oils, and are dry.
Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, pieces of plastic or foil to fall on the heaters
when they are hot. If these residues are allowed to cool on the ceramic surface
pitting or even
cracking may occur.
Any spills should be removed as quickly as possible to prevent them from burning
on and becoming difcult to remove.
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this hob. Steam could penetrate electrical
components and cause a short circuit.

Appliance safety
In the event of any damage to the hob, it must be turned off immediately and
disconnected from the main power supply. Contact Malloca’s Technical Service
Department.
Do not use the hob until it has been repaired. Ensure power is not supplied to the
hob until repair work is completed.
Do not cook on a damaged hob. Any breakages or cracks in the ceramic surface
of the hob are defects and must be treated as such. If the hob should break,
cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the broken hob and create a risk of
electric shock. Do not use the hob until it has been repaired.
Repairs should only be performed by qualied technicians to ensure safety. Re-
pairs and other work by unqualied persons could be dangerous. Do not open the
outer casing of the hob under any circumstances.
While the hob is under warranty repairs should only be performed by an author-
ized service technician. Otherwise the warranty is void.
Further safety notes
Make certain that the power cords of small appliances do not come in contact
with the hob. The insulation of the cable could become damaged.
Danger of electric shock!
Keep pets away from the hob at all times and activate the Child Safety Lock. If a
pet gets on the hob a touch control sensor could be activated turning on a heater.
Important Safety Instructions

11
To eliminate the risk of burns or re by reaching over heated surfaces cabinet
storage space above the hob should be avoided. If cabinet storage is necessary,
the risk can be reduced by installing a venting hood to project horizontally a mini-
mum of 127mm beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Because of the heat radiated it is not recommended to install the hob above a
drawer. It should be installed above a cabinet base unit with a dummy drawer
front. A protective base should also be installed between the dummy drawer and
the hob. There must be a minimum distance of 110 mm between the top of the
countertop and the top of the protective base to ensure proper ventilation.
This hob has not been designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installa-
tions such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions
it may be
possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the Malloca Techni-
cal
Service Department with specic requirements.
The hob must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The
sealing strip under the edge of the hob provides a sufcient seal for the counter-
top.
Once installed, be sure that the power cord cannot come into contact with the
underside of the hob or any mechanical parts.
Important Safety Instructions

12
Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this hob. Steam could penetrate electrical
components and cause a short circuit. Pressurized steam could cause permanent
damage to the surface and to components for which Malloca cannot accept
responsibility.
Do not use any sharp pointed objects which could damage the seal between the
ceramic surface, the surrounding frame and the countertop.
Never use abrasive or caustic (oven) cleaners, dishwasher detergent, scouring
pads, steel wool or hard brushes. They will damage the surface.
The ceramic surface can be cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.
Make sure that no cleaner residue remains on the ceramic surface by carefully
wiping the hob with a damp cloth. They may damage the hob or produce toxic
fumes when heated.
Be sure that pot and pan bases are clean and dry.
After cleaning, dry the ceramic surface with a soft cloth to prevent a build up of
limescale deposits.
Clean any spills immediately before they become difcult to remove.
Clean the hob regularly, preferably after each use. Allow the hob to cool before
cleaning.
Wipe off any soiling using a damp cloth. Stubborn soiling is best removed with a
shielded scraper blade.
Apply a ceramic cleaner using a soft cloth or paper towel. To remove any lime-
scale deposits or metallic residue apply a ceramic cleaner using a soft cloth and
a shielded scraper blade if necessary.
After cleaning wipe the ceramic surface with a damp cloth and dry. A cleaner with
a
special additive to prevent water marks and smears on the ceramic surface may
be used.
Any melted solids like sugar, plastic or aluminum foil should be removed as soon
as possible, while the heater is still warm. If they are allowed to harden the hob
may become pitted.
Cleaning and Care

13
Appliance errors are the errors which generate the deactivation of the whole
hob.
When an appliance error is detected, all heaters are switched off, a beep
sounds (only if one or more heaters are active) and all displays show a ‘F’ letter
and the error code alternately.
While in error status all the heater keys are not operative .
Except EEPROM and microcontroller errors, all errors are recoverable. That is,
when the cause of the error disappears all displays are deactivated and the hob
returns to normal operation.

Safety Instructions for installation
Safety distance above the hob
The minimum safety distance given by the hood manufacturer must be main-
tained between the hob and the hood above it. See the installation instructions of
the hood for these safety measurements.
If the hood manufacturers instructions are not available or if ammable objects
are
installed over the hob (e.g. cabinets, utensil rail, etc.), a minimum safety distance
of (760 mm) must be maintained.
If there is more than one appliance beneath a hood (e.g. wok burner and electric
cooktop), and they have different minimum safety distances always observe the
greater distance.

Installation
Feed the hob connection cable down through the cut-out.
Place the hob centrally in the cut-out. When doing so make sure that the seal
under the cooktop sits ush with the countertop on all sides. This is important to
ensure an
effective seal. (Do not use sealant).
Connect the hob to the main power supply.
Turn the hob on and check the function.
The hob must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The
sealing strip under the edge of the hob provides a sufcient seal for the counter-
top.
If the hob is sealed into position, the countertop or appliance could be damaged
if the hob needs to be removed for maintenance or service.
Safety Instructions for installation

Disposal of the packing material
The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are
environmentaly friendly for disposal and should be recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safety and kept out
of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Disposal of your old appliance
Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which , if handled or
disposed of incorrectly could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the
environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your ap-
pliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.
Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre or
contact your dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while
being stored for disposal.
Caring for the environment

17
Cleaning the hob
Before using for the rst time, clean the hob with a damp cloth and dry with a soft
cloth.
Heating the hob
Metal components of the hob have a protective coating which may give off a
slight odor the rst time the hob is heated.
The smell will dissipate after a short time and does not indicate a faulty connec-
tion or appliance defect.
Before using for the rst time

18
Touch controls
The control panel is equipped with Infrared sensor. They respond to a nger
touch.
To operate the heaters, simply touch the corresponding sensor area(s). Each
time a command is registered, a signal will be heard.
Be sure to touch only the desired sensor area and keep the control panel clean
and clear. Otherwise, the touch controls may not respond, or unintentional com-
mands may be given, even causing the cooktop to switch off automatically (see
“Automatic Safety off”).
User interface initial calibration
The user interface has implemented an initial keyboard calibration focused to
adapt the sensibility of the keys, to the nal mechanical, environmental and user
conditions.
Anytime the Cooktop is plugged or there is a power failure that generates a reset
in the user interface, the rst time the Key lock is touched the sensitivity of the
keyboard is
readjusted. This rst touch of the Key Lock must be done in certain conditions:
Do not use gloves Use a clean finger Touch the glass (smooth touching)
Before using for the rst time

19
Initial Light Conditions
When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the touch control conducts a cali-
bration process for the touch keys, which requires a low level of ambient light in
the area of the touch keys.
If during this calibration process excessive ambient lighting is detected the User
Interface displays “FL” (Infrared Ambient Light Error) and the control calibration
process is suspended.
In order to rectify the process any lighting that could affect the calibration process
should be switched off (e.g. halogen cooker hood lighting).
The error will disappear when satisfactory ambient lighting is detected and the
touch control calibration procedure will now complete satisfactorily.
Notes:
1) The “FL” error can only be generated within approx. 3s of initial power being
applied to the cooktop.
2) We recommend that you switches off all cooker hood lighting and lighting di-
rected towards the Cooktop when power is initially applied to the Cooktop.
3) After the touch control has conducted its initial calibration process, (approx. 3s)
any cooker hood or other lighting can be switched on as normal and will not affect
the operation of the touch control
