GENERAL
Carefully read the contents of this leaflet since it pro-
vides important instructions regarding safety of installa-
tion, 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 conform-
ity 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 tran-
sformed into heat.
1.3 COOKING VESSELS fig.6
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:
- vessels that do not have a completely flat base whose
diameter is the same or slightly more than that of the
heated area.
- metal vessels with enamelled bottoms
- Do not use vessels with a rough base to prevent
scratching of the cooker top 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.
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 re-
duce 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.
ATTENTION: If the surface is cracked, switch the ap-
paratus off to prevent electric shocks
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions address specialised installers and
serve as a guide for installation, adjustment and main-
tenance in conformity with the laws and regulations in
force.
If a built-in oven or any other appliance that gener-
ates heat must be fitted directly under the glass-ce-
ramic cooktop, THIS APPLIANCE (oven) AND THE
GLASS-CERAMIC COOKTOP MUST BE SUITABLY
INSULATED in such a way that the heat generated
by the oven, measured on the bottom right of the
cooktop, does not exceed 60°C. Failure to respect
this precaution may determine improper function-
ing of the TOUCHCONTROL system.
POSITIONING
(Fig.5)
The domestic appliance is designed to be built into a
worktop as illustrated in the specific figure. Apply seal-
ant around the entire perimeter (cut-out dimensions
Fig.5B).
Fix the domestic appliance on the worktop by means of
the 4 brackets provided, taking the thickness of the
worktop into account (Fig.5A). If the lower part of the
appliance, after installation, is accessible via the lower
part of the cabinet then it is necessary to mount a sepa-
rator panel respecting the distances indicated (Fig.5C).
If the appliance is installed with an oven underneath then
the separator is not necessary.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
(Fig.3B - Fig.4B)
Before making the electrical connections, check that:
-
the ground cable is 2 cm longer than the other ca-
bles;
-
the system ratings meet the ratings indicated on the
identification plate fixed on the lower part of the worktop;
-
the system is fitted with efficient earthing compliant
to the laws and regulations in force.
Earthing is obligatory by law.
If the domestic appliance is not fitted with a cable and/or
relevant plug, use material suited to the absorption value
indicated on the identification plate and the operating
temperature. At no point must the cable reach a tem-
perature 50°C higher than room temperature.
If wishing to make a direct connection to the mains, an
omnipolar switch must be interposed with a minimum
opening of 3 mm between the contacts and suited to the
load indicated on the plate and conform to the regula-
GB
