beginning of cooking, allow a global
saving of power.
- The fibreglass top remains cold, the heat
felt on the cooking top is that reflected
from the base of the recipient.
COOKING RECIPIENTS
The use of appropriate recipients is an
essential factor for induction cooking.
Check that your recipients are suitable for
the induction system.
The recipients must contain iron.
You
can check whether the material of the
recipient is magnetic with a simple magnet
(Fig.7). The use of recipients in cast
iron, enamelled steel or special steel for
induction is recommended.
In order to obtain the best performance
from the cooking top:
- use recipients having a flat base (Fig.8A).
- use the cooking area appropriate for the
diameter of the recipient in order to make
use the power optimally (Fig.8B).
- do not use recipients with a rough base
to avoid scratching the thermal surface of
the top.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions are for a specialized
installer and are a guide for installation,
adjustments and maintenance in compliance
with the law and current standards.
To guarantee correct functioning of the
appliance the indications given below must
be followed:
- the surface must be in heat-resistant
material
- if a cooking surface is to beinstalled above
an oven, this must have a forced-ventilation
cooling system.
- do not install the cooking surface above
dishwashers: if this is absolutely necessary,
place a watertight element between the two
appliances.
The failure to comply with the above-
mentioned precautions could lead to
incorrect functioning of the appliance.
POSITIONING
The domestic appliance was built in order to
be enclosed in a work surface, as illustrated
in the figure (Fig.1).
Place sealing material (Fig.4) along the
whole perimeter (for dimensions of the cut
see Fig.1).
Block the domestic appliance into place with
4 supports, keeping the thickness of the
surface in mind (Fig.2).
If the lower part of the appliance is accessable
after installation, a separating panel must be
mounted respecting the distances indicated
(Fig.3). This is not necessary if an oven is
installed underneath the induction hob.
VENTILATION
(Fig.5)
The distance between the cooking top and the
kitchen furniture or bult-in appliances must
be such to guarantee sufficient ventilation
and discharge of the air (Fig.3).
Do not obstruct the front cooling vents
in order to prevent malfunctioning of the
appliance (Fig.5).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
(Fig.6)
Before making the electrical connections,
check that:
- the earth wire is 2 cm longer than the other
cables;
- the system ratings meet the ratings indicated
on the identification plate fixed onto the
lower part of the worktop;
- the system is fitted with efficient earth
system in compliance with the laws and
current standards.
Earthing is mandatory by law
. If the domestic
appliance is not supplied with a cable and/
or suitable plug, use material suitable for the
absorption value indicated on the identification
plate and the operating temperature.
If a direct connection to the mains is required,
an omnipolar switch must be installed, with
a minimum 3 mm opening, between the
contacts and suitable for the load indicated
on the plate and in compliance with current
standards (the yellow/green earth wire must
