1. Before You Start...
This User Guide covers a number of different models.
Although some of the illustrations will look different to
your particular model the functions will be the same. We
hope the meaning is clear.
Your cooker should give you many years of trouble-free
cooking if installed and operated correctly. It is important
that you read this section before you start, particularly if you
have not used an induction cooker before.
n n
This appliance is designed for domestic cooking
only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate
any warranty or liability claim. In particular, the
oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen –
besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel and may
overheat the control knobs.
Installation and Maintenance
All installations must be in accordance with the relevant
instructions in this booklet, with the relevant national
and local regulations, and with the local electricity supply
companies’ requirements.
Make sure that the cooker is correctly wired and switched on.
The hob control display will flash for about 2 seconds
during first power setting – this is normal.
Set the clock to make sure that the ovens are functional –
see the relevant section in this manual.
Only a qualified service engineer should service the cooker,
and only approved spare parts should be used.
Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it off at the
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work,
unless specified otherwise in this guide.
Peculiar Smells
When you first use your cooker it may give off an odour. This
should stop after use.
Before using your cooker for the first time, make sure that all
packing materials have been removed and then, to dispel
manufacturing odours, turn all the ovens to 200 °C and run
for at least an hour.
Before using the grill for the first time you should also turn on
the grill and run for 30 minutes with the grill pan in position,
pushed fully back, and the grill door open.
Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air
(see ‘Ventilation’ below). People with respiratory or allergy
problems should vacate the area for this brief period.
Ventilation
The use of a cooking appliance results in the production
of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed.
Therefore, make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated:
keep natural ventilation holes open or install a powered
cookerhood that vents outside. If you have several hotplates
on, or use the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn
on an extractor fan.
Personal Safety
Important information for pacemaker and implanted
insulin pump users : The functions of this hob comply with
the applicable European standards on electromagnetic
interference. If you are fitted with a pacemaker or
implanted insulin pump and are concerned please consult
your doctor for medical advice.

(Fig.1-1)
. When opening
an oven stand well back and allow any steam to disperse.
