GENERAL
Carefully read the contents of this leaflet since it provides
important instructions regarding safety of installation, use
and maintenance. Keep the leaflet for possible future
consultation. All the operations relating to installation
(electrical connections) must be carried out by specialised
personnel in conformity with the regulations in force.
1.1 THE PRINCIPLE OF INDUCTION
The system of cooking by induction is based on the physical
phenomenon of magnetic induction. The fundamental
feature of this system is direct transfer of heat energy from
the generator to the pan without intermediate means
(different from traditional cooker tops see fig.1).
1.2 ADVANTAGES
If you compare your electric cooker tops, with the induction
cooker top, the result will be:
- Safer: low temperature on the glass surface
- Quicker: brief heating times.
- More precise: the top reacts immediately to your
commands
- More efficient: 90% of the energy absorbed is transfor-
med into heat.
Furthermore, once the pan has been removed from the hob,
heat transmission is stopped immediately, thereby
preventing the needless dispersion of heat.
The system also automatically recognises the various
diameters of all pans and uses a suitable power level for
each size.
This means that we are able to use pans of various sizes,
provided that the pan diameter is no more than 10% larger
- or 40% smaller - than the printed detail marked on the
hob (fig. 7B).
Caution: if you are using a pan with a diameter which is
more than 40% smaller than the printing marked on the
glass, the cooking zone may not be activated.
1.3 COOKING VESSELS fig.7
Cooking by induction uses magnetism to generate heat.
The vessels must therefore contain iron.
Check if the vessel material is magnetic using a magnet.
Important:
To prevent permanent damage to the cooker surface, do
not use:
- pans with bases that are not perfectly flat.
- metal pans with enamelled bases.
- Do not use pans with rough bases as they may scratch
the hob’s surface
SAFETY WARNINGS
This apparatus is not suitable for use by children or persons
who need supervision. Do not allow children to play with
the apparatus. Before using the induction cooker top it is
important to check that the apparatus is compatible with
anyone who has a pacemaker and active surgical implants.
Before connecting the appliance to the electricity
supply:
- Check that the voltage and power values listed on the
data plate (positioned on the lower part of the appliance)
are compatible with the electricity supply and socket. If you
have any doubts, please consult a qualified electrician for
assistance.
IMPORTANT
- metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons or lids must
not be placed on the cooker surface as they can get hot.
- after use, switch the cooker off using the control device
and do not rely on the pan detector.
- avoid liquid spilling, therefore to boil or heat liquids redu-
ce the heat supply.
- do not leave the heating elements switched on with empty
vessels or without vessels.
- when you have finished cooking, switch off the relative
resistance using the control indicated below.
- never use aluminium foil for cooking, or never place
products wrapped in aluminium foil onto the cooking surface.
The aluminium would melt and damage your apparatus
irreversibly.
- Never heat a tin or can of food without opening it – it
could explode! This warning applies to hobs of all types.
ATTENTION: Steam cleaners must not be used.
ATTENTION: If the surface is cracked, switch the ap-
paratus off to prevent electric shocks
This appliance conforms to the European Directive EC/
2002/96, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE). By making sure that this appliance is disposed of
in a suitable manner, the user is helping to prevent potential
damage to the environment or to public health.
The
symbol on the product or on the accompanying
paperwork indicates that the appliance should not be treated
as domestic waste, but should be delivered to a suitable
electric and electronic appliance recycling collection point.
Follow local guidelines when disposing of waste. For more
information on the treatment, re-use and recycling of this
product, please contact your local authority, domestic waste
collection service or the shop where the appliance was
purchased.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions address specialised installers and serve
as a guide for installation, adjustment and maintenance in
conformity with the laws and regulations in force.
POSITIONING (fig.6)
The appliance is made for fixing into a worktop, as shown in
the relevant figure. Apply the supplied sealant to the entire
perimeter of the hob and insert it into the fitment hole (for
sizing see fig. 6B). Fix the appliance into the worktop with
the 4 stays, rotating them according to the top’s depth (fig.
6A).
If the underside of the appliance will be accessible after
installation, a separator panel G (fig. 9A) will need to be
mounted maintaining the distances shown (fig. 9B). If the
appliance is installed over an oven the panel is not
necessary (fig. 10A - 10B).
IMPORTANT: if there is an oven under the induction hob it
is advisable for it to have a cooling fan. Do not use the
induction hob while PYROLITIC cleaning is in process.
WARNING: to allow the circulation of as much fresh air as
necessary, there must be at least 40 mm between the
induction hob module and any appliance installed under it
(fig. 10B).
In any event, adequate aeration must be provided.
To allow fresh air circulation there must be openings in the
kitchen furniture (fig. 9A-10A) of the sizes indicated in fig.
9B-10B.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Fig.2B-3B-4B-5B)
Before making the electrical connections, check that:
-
the ground cable is 2 cm longer than the other cables;
-
the system ratings meet the ratings indicated on the
identification plate fixed on the lower part of the worktop;
