WHAT IS IN BOX

INTRODUCTION

THIS APPLIANCE IS CONCEIVED FOR DOMESTIC USE ONLY. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER INJURIES OR DAMAGES ARE CAUSED BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION OR BY UNSUITABLE, WRONG OR ABSURD USE.

PRECAUTIONS

• When the hob is in use keep all magnetizable objects away (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators and so on).
• Do not use any alluminium foil or place any foodstuffs wrapped in alluminium foil directly on the hob – do not place any metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob surface as they will heat up.
• When cooking in a non-stick pan without seasoning, do not exceed 1-2 minutes’ preheating time.
• When cooking food that may easily stick, start at a low power output level and then slowly increase while regularly stirring.
• After cooking is finished, switch off using the control provided (turn down to “0”), and do not rely on the pan sensor.
• If the surface of the hob is damaged, immediately disconnect the appliance from the mains to prevent the possibility of electric shock.
• Never use a steam cleaner to clean the hob.
• The appliance and accessible parts may be hot during operation.
• Take care to avoid touching the heating elements.
• Children less than 8 years of age should be kept at a safe distance unless continuously supervised.
• This appliance may be used by children aged 8 or over and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised and have received suitable instructions on safe use of the appliance and understand the dangers involved. Children must not play with the appliance. User maintenance and cleaning should not be carried out by children except under constant supervision.
• Cooking with grease or oil may be dangerous and cause a fire if left unattended. NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Rather, disconnect the appliance and then cover the flames with a cover or sheet, for example.
• The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
• Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in a fire.
• Fire hazard: do not store elements on cooking surfaces.
• Only counter top protectors designed for use with the cooking appliance and listed in the manufacturer’s instructions should be used as suitable protection for the counter top incorporated in the appliance. Use of unsuitable protectors may cause accidents.

WARNING: Accessible parts will become hot when in use. To avoid burns and scalds children should be kept away.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

(Fig. 11)
It exploits the electromagnetic properties of most cooking vessels. The coil (inductor) which produces the electromagnetic field is operated and controlled by the electronic circuit. The heat is transmitted to food by the cooking vessel itself. The cooking process takes place as described below.

• loss of heat is minimum (high efficiency)
• the system stops automatically when the vessel is removed or even just lifted from the hob
• the electronic circuit guarantees maximum flexibility and fine adjustments.

WARNING

People with a heart pace maker should consult with their doctor before using this unit.

FLEXIBLE AREA

• This area can be used as a single zone, accordingly to the cooking needs anytime.
• Flexible area is made of two independent inductors that can be controlled separately. When working as a single zone, a cookware is moved from one zone to the other one within the flexible area keeping the same power level of the zone where the cookware originally was placed, and the part that is not covered by cookware is automatically switched off.
• Important：Make sure to place the cookwares centered on the single cooking zone. The ideal recipe is an oval or rectangular saucepan, or a saucepan. Examples of good pot placement and bad pot placement.

1. To activate the flexible area as a single big zone, press the zone selected key and at the same time hold 3 seconds for the left group or press the zone selected key and at the same time hold 3 seconds for the right group.

Exit automatic mode combination
In the Cooker Hood of automatic mode, click the key (G) and key(F) 3 seconds at the same time. then the nixie tube of the Cooker Hood displays “8”, flashes 5 seconds, stops flashing after 5 seconds, the nixie tube switches to display the current working gear of the Cooker Hood, and the Cooker Hood exits the automatic mode successfully.

Cooking vessels (Fig. 14)

• a magnet-attracting vessel may be a suitable vessel for induction cooking
• prefer vessels that are especially declared to be suitable for induction cooking
• flat- and thick bottomed vessels
• a vessel with the same diameter as zones ensures the maximum exploitation of power
• a smaller vessel reduces power exploitation but does not cause any energy loss We would anyhow not recommend the use of vessels with diameters smaller than 10 cm.
• stainless-steel vessels with multi-layer or ferritic stainless-steel bottoms when specifically suited for induction cooking
• cast-iron preferably enamel-bottomed vessels to avoid scratching the program surface
• we do not recommend the use of any glass, ceramic, earthenware, alluminium, copper or non-magnetic (austenitic) stainless steel vessels.

Maintenance

(Fig. 7,8,9,10,15)

By means of a scraper immediately remove any aluminum foil bits, food spills, grease splashes, sugar marks and other high sugar content food from the surface in order to avoid damaging the hob. Subsequently, clean the surface with a towel and the appropriate product, rinse with water and dry by means of a clean cloth. Under no circumstance should sponges or abrasive cloths be used; also avoid using aggressive chemical detergents such as oven sprays and spot removers.Grease filters: to avoid fires, clean thoroughly once a month or whenever the display pilot light indicates as such. To do so, remove the filters and wash with hot water and detergent. If using a dishwasher, position the filters vertically to prevent solid remains from depositing on them. do not use polish to clean or shine Activated charcoal filters: replace the every 3 months.Important: increase the filter cleaning/replacement frequency if the hood is used for more than 2 hours a day. Always use genuine filters from the manufacturer.
