HINTS AND TIPS
Cookware
· Use thick, flat, smooth bottomed cookwares that are the same diameter as the element. This will
help reduce cooking times.
· Cookware made of steel, enamelled steel, cast iron and stainless steel (if appropriately abelled by
the manufacturer) will give you the best results.
· Cookware made of enamelled steel or aluminium or copper bottoms can cause a metallic residue to
remain on the hob. If left, this becomes difficult to remove. Clean the hob after every use.
· Cookware is suitable for induction if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
· Cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone. If it is not placed correctly, is displayed.
· When using certain pans, you may get various noises from the pans, this is due to the design of the
pans and does not effect the performance or safety of the hob.
Energy saving
· Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the cookware bottom up to a certain limit.
However the magnetic part of the cookware bottom must have a minimum diameter depending upon
the size of the cooking zone.
· Place the cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.If it is switched on before putting
any cookware, the cooking zone will not operate and the control display shows.
· Use a lid to reduce cooking time.
· When liquid comes to the boil, reduce the temperature setting.
· Minimise the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.
· Select the proper temperature setting for the cooking applications.

Examples of cooking applications
The information given in the following table is for guidance only.
Cleaning tips
· Do not use abrasive pads, corrosive cleaners, aerosol cleaners or sharp objects to clean the
surfaces of the hob.
· To remove burnt food, soak it off with a damp cloth and washing-up liquid.
· You may use a scraper for cleaning food or residues. Sticky foods must be cleaned immediately
when they spill, before the glass has cooled down.
· Be careful not to scratch the silicon adhesive placed on the edges of the glass whilst using a
scraper.
· The scraper has a razor, therefore, it must be kept away from children.
· Use special ceramic hob cleaner on the hob while it is warm to touch. Rinse and wipe dry with a
clean cloth or paper towel.

INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE
WARNING:
The electrical connection of this hob should be carried out by a qualified electrician, according to
the instructions in this guide and in compliance with the current regulations. In the event of any
damage that occurs as a result of improper connection or installation, the warranty will not be valid.
This appliance must be earthed.
Installation safety
· Any overhanging surface should be at least 65cm above the hob.
· Extractor fans must be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
· The wall in contact with the rear of the hob must be made of flameproof material.
· The power cable length should not exceed 2 metres.
Fitting the hob into a work surface
· The hob can be inserted into any worktop provided it is heat resistant up to at least 90ºC.
· Create an opening with the dimensions shown in the picture below and on next page.
· Induction hob may be built in the 25 to 40 mm thick worktops.

Making an electrical connection
Before making a connection, check that:
·The mains voltage is the same as that quoted on the rating plate which is situated at the back of
your hob.
· The circuit can support the appliance load (see the rating plate).
· The power supply has an earth connection, which complies with the provisions of current
regulations and is in good working order.
· The fused switch is easily accessible once the hob has been installed.
If there is no dedicated hob circuit and fused switch, they must be installed by a qualified
electrician before the hob is connected.
An approved suitable cable must be connected from the Consumer Unit (main fuse box) and be
protected by its own 32amp fuse or Micro Circuit Breaker (MCB). The electrician must provide a
fused all pole switch, which disconnects both the line (live) and neutral conductors with a contact
seperation of at least 3,0 mm.
The fused switch should be fitted to the kitchen wall, above the worksurface and to the side of the
hob, not above it, in accordance with IEE regulations. Connect the fused switch to a junction box
which should be fitted on the wall about 61cm (24 inches) above floor level and behind the hob. The
hob's power supply cable can then be connected. Connect one end to the junction box and connect
the other end to the hob's power connection box which is located at the back of the hob. Remove
the cover of the power connection box and install the cable, in accordance with the connection
diagram.
