Carefully read all instructions before using your appliance and keep them in a convenient place for reference when necessary.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the  hazards involved. Children should not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance should not be made by children without supervision

WARNING:
The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements. Keep children less than 8  years of age away unless they are continually supervised.
Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire. NEVER try to extinguish such a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and cover the flame with a lid or a fire blanket.
The cooking process has to be supervised. A short-term cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
Danger of fire: Do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.

• For induction hobs, metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface because they can get hot.
• For induction hobs, after use switch off the hob element using the touch controls. Do not rely on the pan detector.
• Do not operate the appliance with an external timer or separate remote-control system.
• Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or scourers to clean the hob surface.
• Do not use steam cleaners for cleaning the appliance.
• Your appliance is produced in accordance with all applicable local and international standards and regulations.
• Maintenance and repair work should only be carried out by authorised service technicians.
• Installation and repair work that is carried out by unauthorised technicians may be dangerous. Do not alter or modify the specifications of the  appliance in any way. Inappropriate hob guards can cause accidents.
• Before connecting your appliance, make sure that the local distribution conditions (nature of the gas and gas pressure or electricity voltage and  frequency) and the specifications of the appliance are compatible.
  The specifications for this appliance are stated on the rating label.

CAUTION:
This appliance is designed for cooking food and extracting unpleasant odours from the kitchen. It is intended for indoor domestic household use  only.
It should not be used for any other purpose or in any other application, such as for non-domestic use, in a commercial environment or for heating a room.

• All possible measures have been taken to ensure your safety. Since the glass may break, care should be taken while cleaning to avoid scratching.  Avoid hitting or knocking the glass with accessories.
• Make sure that the supply cord is not trapped or damaged during installation. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to prevent a hazard.
• Please keep children and animals away from this appliance.
• When the induction hob is in use, keep the objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (such as credit cards, bank cards, watches, and similar  items) away from the hob. It is strongly suggested that anyone with a pacemaker should consult their cardiologist before using the induction  hob.
• The performance of your extractor will vary depending on a number of factors. These include type of extraction, room volume, length of  ducting, ventilation available and the cleanliness of the filters.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS

• Do not operate the appliance before it is fully installed.
• The appliance must be installed by an authorised technician. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage that might be caused by  defective placement and installation by unauthorised people.
• When the appliance is unpacked, make sure that it is has not been damaged during transportation.

DURING USE:

• To ensure the best performance, we recommend switching on the extractor 15 minutes before cooking and leave it running 15 minutes after.  This will ensure that the air in the kitchen is being circulated before cooking commences and the air is being cleaned after cooking has finished.
• Do not put flammable or combustible materials in or near the appliance when it is operating.
• Do not leave the hob unattended while cooking with solid or liquid oils. They may catch fire under extreme heating conditions. Never pour  water on to flames that are caused by oil, instead switch the hob off and cover the pan with its lid or a fire blanket.
• If the product will not be used for a long period of time, urn the main control switch off.
• Always position pans over the centre of the cooking zone, and turn the handles to a safe position so they cannot be knocked or grabbed.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

NOTE: Specifications for the product vary and the appearance of your appliance may differ from that shown in the figures below.

COOKWARE

Cookware for induction cooking zones must be made of metal and have magnetic properties.
The base must be sufficiently large. The minimum cookware diameter that the elements can detect is Ø110mm for 160mm – 210mm hobs and  Ø160mm for a 290mm hob. Cooking performance is improved with a larger cooking area.
Only use pans with a base suitable for induction.

aluminium, oven-proof glass, wood,
ceramic and terracotta
Cast iron pots with an enamelled base
Pots made of multi-layer stainless steel, stainless ferrite steel and aluminium with special base

NOTE: The quality and composition of the cookware has a direct effect on cooking performance.
Cookware with enamelled steel, aluminium or copper bottoms can cause a metallic residue to remain on the hob. If left, this becomes difficult to remove.
Clean the hob after every use.

HOW TO ESTABLISH THE SUITABILITY OF A POT:
Conduct the magnet test described below or make sure that the pot bears the symbol for suitability for cooking with induction current.

MAGNET TEST:
Move the magnet towards the base of your cookware.
If it is attracted, you can use the cookware on the induction hob.

NOTE: When using pans suitable for induction, you may hear various noises coming from them, this is due to the design of the pans and does not affect the performance or safety of the hob.

SUITABLE COOKWARE:
The base of the pan must be flat and smooth.
Cookware must be placed centrally on the hob.

UNSUITABLE COOKWARE:
The base of the pan is curved.
The electronic unit cannot determine the temperature correctly.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS:

• The following are a few useful hints to help you cut your consumption of energy and use your new induction hob and the cookware efficiently.
• The base of your cooking pans should be the same size as the cooking zone.
• When buying cooking pans, note that it is frequently the diameter of the top of the pan that it indicated. This is usually larger than the base of a pan.
• Pressure cookers are particularly low on energy and time cooking required, thanks to the pressure and the fact that they are tightly closed. Short cooking times mean that vitamins are preserved.
• Always make sure that there is sufficient fluid in your pressure cooker since the cooking zone and the cooker may be damaged as a result of  overheating if the pressure cooker boils dry.
• Always close cooking pots with a suitable lid.
• Use the right sized pan for the quantity of food you are cooking. A large pan which is hardly filled will use up a lot of energy.
