THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE - The following information will
help you to choose cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel
:
highly recommended. Especially good with a
sandwich clad base. The sandwich base combines the benefits
of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the
advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat
distribution).
Aluminium
:
heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity.
Aluminium residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob,
but can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium should not be
used.
6 • HOB COOKWARE ADVICE
•
Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and
thick bases
:
using this type of cookware will prevent hot spots
that cause food to stick. Thick metal pots and pans will provide
an even distribution of heat.
•
Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry
:
when filling
pans with liquid or using one that has been stored in the
refrigerator, ensure that the base of the pan is completely dry
before placing it on the hob. This will help to avoid staining the hob.
•
Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely
cover the surface unit
:
the size of the pan should be no smaller
than the heating area. If it is slightly wider the energy will be
used at its maximum efficiency.
Using good quality cookware is critical for setting the best
performance from your hob.
5 • PRESENTATION
• Hilight zone : a met
allic conductor strip is spread uniformly
over the whole surface unit.
It is effective within 3 seconds and is suitable for steady,
homogeneous and also sustained cooking.
The glass-ceramic hob benefits from greater heat output which
is generated by the hilight cooking zones thereby accelerating
the cooking process. Modifications to the design of the hob
have not affected the capacity of the glass to withstand high
temperatures, but they have improved controllability.
With the "Coup de Feu" facility, reduced cooking times of up to
15% can be achieved, depending upon the method of cooking
and the type of saucepans being used.
CONNECTION TO THE TERMINAL ON THE TERMINAL BLOCK
•
The hob is fitted with a power supply cord which allows it
to be connected only to a power supply of 220-240 V between
phases or between phase and neutral :
- Connect to a socket, to choose the correct fuse,
you must refer on the table.
It is however possible to connect the hob to:
. Three phase 200-240 V3~
OR
. Three phase 380-415 V3N~

3 • BUILT-IN
The furniture in which your hob will be installed and all adjacent
furniture, should be made from materials that can withstand high
temperatures. In addition, all decorative laminates should be fixed
with heat-resistant glue.
Inst
allation (Fig. B / D) :
•
A watertight seal is supplied with the hob.
To inst
all it:
- turn the hob upside down, with the glass surface facing downwards.
Make sure the glass is protected.
- fit the seal round the hob.
- make sure that it is correctly fitted to avoid any leakage into the
supporting cabinet.
•
Leave a gap of at least 5 cm between the appliance and the
vertical sides of the adjacent furniture.
•
If, when installing the hob, the lower hob face is adjacent to an
area normally accessible when handling or cleaning, fit a partition
1 cm below the base of the hob to avoid any risk of scorching
or damage.

INSTALLATION
"The installation must conform to the standard directives."
The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage that
may be caused by unsuitable or unreasonable use.
Warning
:
we cannot be held responsible for any incident or
its consequences that may arise during the use of an appliance
not linked to the earth, or linked to an earth whose continuity
is defective.
•
Always check before any electrical operation, the supply tension
shown on the electricity meter, the adjustment of the circuit-
breaker, the continuity of the connection to earth to the installation
and that the fuse is suitable.
•
The electrical connection to the installation should be made via
a socket with a plug with earth, or via an omnipole cut-out switch
with an opening gap of at least 3 mm.
If the appliance has a socket outlet, it must be installed so that
the socket outlet is accessible.
•
The yellow/green wire of the power supply cable must be
connected to the earth of both power supply and appliance
terminals.
•
Any queries regarding the power supply cord should be referred
to After Sales Service or a qualified technician.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Installing a domestic appliance can be a complicated operation which if not carried out correctly, can seriously affect consumer safety. It
is for this reason that the task should be undertaken by a professionally qualified person who will carry it out in accordance with the techni-
cal regulations in force. In the event that this advice is ignored and the installation is carried out by an unqualified person, the manufac-
turer declines all responsibility for any technical failure of the product whether or not it results in damage to goods or injury to individuals.
