⚠WARNING: Before connecting the hob, check that supplied voltage and frequency
match with that indicated on the appliance rating plate.
⚠WARNING – Risk of Fire!
Do not store items on the cooking surface.
Do not use flammable sprays in close vicinity to the appliance.
Do not store detergents of flammable materials beneath the hob.
Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire.
Never try to extinguish a fire with water, buy switch off the appliance and then
cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
WARNING – Risk of electric shock!
If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
Do not use any high pressure cleaners or steam cleaners, which can result in an
electric shock.
⚠ATTENTION – The high temperature surface!
The hotplates and surrounding area become very hot. Never touch the hot
surfaces. When cooking zone has been in use, the surface remains hot for some
time afterwards. Be careful not to touch the hot surface and not to place any
objects on it.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids should not be placed on
the hob surface as they can heat up.
Keep the hotplates and pans base dry. If there is any liquid between the pan
bases and hotplates, this could generate steam pressure while the induction hob
is in use, this could cause the pan to shake abnormally.
This induction hob is fitted with a fan at the lower section. If a drawer is fitted
under the induction hob, do not keep small objects or paper in it, as if these are
picked up, they could damage the cooling fan or affect the cooling system.
Never rest hot pans on the control panel, the indicator area, or the hob surround.
Always switch off the induction hob suing the power switch of the control panel
after each use. Do not wait until the hob switches off automatically when the pan
is removed.
Do not heat an empty pan.
Do not cover the hob, e.g. with a hob cover, a cloth or protective foil. The material

could catch fire, shatter, or melt if the hob is switched on by mistake or if residual heat
is still present.
The rough bases of pans may scratch the hob.
Grains of salt, sugar and sand may scratch the ceramic glass. Do not place these
objects on the hob or use ceramic glass to the induction hob as work surface. Hard of
sharp objects may cause damage if they fall onto the hob.
Always centre the pan on the hotplate and always cover the pan with the matching lid.
Cooking without using the lid will consume more energy.
Choose pans which are the right size of the amount of food to be prepared. A large pan
which is half full will consume a lot of energy.
Recommended not to place pans that have been used on a gas hob on the induction
hob (The flame can deform the flatness of bottom). In case you have to use them,
please check that bottom is flat.

A Word on Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It
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.
Before using your New Induction Hob
1. Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
2. Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.
Using the Touch Controls
1. The controls respond to touch, so you do not need to apply any pressure.
2. Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
3. You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
4. 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 packagingor
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:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. 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,
aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and
earthenware. 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. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone
selected. Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you
use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Pot less than 140mm could be
undetected by the hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

If the display flashes alternately with the heat setting
This means that:
1. You have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone or,
2. Pan is using is not suitable for induction cooking or,
3. Pan is too small or not properly centred on the cooking zone.
No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone.The
display will automatically turn off after 1 minutes if no suitable pan is placed on
it.

Under any circumstances, make sure the Induction cooker hob is well ventilated and the air
inlet and outlet are not blocked. Ensure the induction cooker hob is in good work state. As
shown below
Note: The safety distance between the hot plate and the cupboard above the
hot plate should be at least 650mm.

Before you install the hob, make sure that
1. The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space
requirements.
2. The work surface is made of a heat-resistant material.
3. If the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan.
4. The installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards
and regulations.
5. 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.
6. The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm 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 will be easily
accessible to the customer with the hob installed.

EN
7. You consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.
8. You use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the
wall surfaces surrounding the hob.
When you have installed the hob, make sure that
1. The power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers.
2. There is adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the
hob.
3. If the hob is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, allow a gap of 35mm
between the drawer and the bottom section of the hob.
4. The isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer.
Cautions
1. The induction hotplate must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians.
Please never conduct the operation by yourself.
2. The hob will not be installed directly above a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing
machine or clothes dryer, as the humidity may damage the hob electronics.
3. The induction hotplate 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.
