INDUCTION VITROCERAMIC HOB
User instructions
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
accordance with current regulations.
INDUCTION
Functioning:
The fundamental characteristic of the induction system
is the direct transfer of heat from the generator to the
cooking recipient.
Advantages:
- The transfer of power takes place only when the recipient
is placed on the cooking zone.
- The heat is generated only at the base of the recipient
and transferred directly to the food to be cooked.
- Reduced heating time and low consumption of power
during the 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This apparatus is not suitable for use by children or
people who need supervision.
For safety reasons, never place large ferromagnetic
objects (e.g. oven plates for cakes) on the cooking area
of the fibreglass top.
People carrying pacemakers are advised to consult a
doctor before using the induction cooking areas.
Metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons or lids must
not be placed on the surface of the cooking top because
they can become hot.
IMPORTANT:
After use, switch the cooking top off using
the control device.
IMPORTANT:
- Avoid spilling liquid, therefore reduce the heat when
boiling or heating liquids.
- Do not leave the heating elements on without recipients
or with empty recipients.
- When you have finished cooking, switch off the relevant
heating element using the control indicated below.

WARNING
h
If the surface of the hob is cracked, turn off the
appliance and disconnect it from the electrical mains
in order to prevent any possible electric shocks.
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 not
be interrupted by a switch).
When the appliance has been installed, the omnipolar
switch must be easily reachable.
