• Be careful not to damage the rating plate and warning labels fixed on the appliance.
• Never place the appliance in humid or wet environment.
• Place the appliance in a way making the connections easily accessible, so that they may be quickly disconnected if such a need arises.
• The appliance should be placed on surfaces that are:
  • even, with sufficient bearing capacity, resistant to water, dry and resistant to high temperatures;
  • sufficiently large, and thus enabling usage of the appliance with no problems;
  • easily accessible;
  • well ventilated.
• Do not place the appliance in the vicinity of devices or objects that are sensitive to magnetic fields (e.g. radio, television, etc.).
• Leave at least 5 -10 cm clearance from flammable walls and other objects.

Built-in Installation
The appliance are designed to be installed in a work table board. During installation, follow these indications:

1. For installation, select a work table board that is heat resistant to avoid deformation due to the heat radiation of the appliance.
2. Make sure that the thickness of the work table board meets the required loadbearing capacity.
3. Cut the opening in the work table board according to the diagram below.

Installation and operation

Provide sufficient ventilation around the appliance and make sure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed.

NOTE: A safe distance between the heating plate and a cupboard above the device should be at least 760 mm if no extractor hood is provided for.

Power supply connection

• Verify if technical data of the appliance (see rating plate) correspond with the local electric power grid specification.
• Connect the appliance to a single, properly grounded mains socket with protective contact. Do not connect the appliance to a multi-socket.
• The power cord should be laid in a way preventing anyone from threading on it or tripping against it.
• Do not use the appliance with an external timer or remote control.

Operation

Method of operation of heating plates In induction cookers the electric voltage is applied to a conductive coil under the glass. This generates magnetic field, which being a physical effect, heats the bottom of a cookware directly.
This translates to savings of time and energy, as — contradictory to traditional heating areas — there is no heating up of a heater and then of the glass heating plate.
Another advantage of the technical features described above is the very short cooking time.
Additionally, inflow of heat changes instantly with every change of settings and it may be controlled precisely. The induction heating plate reacts to changes in settings as fast a gas cooker, for the energy is delivered immediately to a pot, without the need to prior heating up of other materials.
The induction technology combines the speed of reaction with a basic benefit of the current, making it possible to precisely control heat inflow.

Suitable Cookware

• Iron cookware
• Enamelled iron cookware
• Steel or enamelled cast iron pots/pans
• Cast iron pots/pans
• Cookware made of 18/0 stainless steel and aluminium if marked as suitable for induction (mind the description of the cookware)

Due to a specific way the induction plate operates, only cookware/containers with a bottom subject to magnetization are suitable.
To obtain better results, use only cookware/containers with a diameter of >12 cm.
Both circular and square cookware/containers suitable for induction plates may be used to keep food warm on the IW10-EB induction heating plate.
