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
The hob must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The

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 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

12
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.

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

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”).

18
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
