OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION

The device may have different aesthetic features with respect to the illustrations in this handbook, however the operating, maintenance and installation instructions remain the same.

USE

USING THE HOB

The induction cooking system is based on the physical phenomenon of magnetic induction. The main characteristic of this system is the direct transfer of energy from the generator to the pot.
Benefits: When compared to electric hobs, your induction hob is: Safer: lower temperature on the glass surface. Faster: shorter food heating times. More accurate: the hob immediately reacts to your commands. More efficient: 90% of the absorbed energy is transformed into heat. Moreover, once the pot is removed from the hob, heat transmission is immediately interrupted, avoiding unnecessary heat loss.

• Recommended pot bottom diameters

IMPORTANT: if the pots are not of the correct size, the cooking zones will not switch on. To see the minimum pot diameters for each individual zone, consult the illustrated section of this manual.

• Cookware

Important:
Use only pots and pans bearing the symbol
to avoid permanent damage to the hob surface, do not use:
• cookware with a base that is not perfectly flat;
• metal cookware with an enamelled base;
• cookware with a rough base, to avoid scratching the hob surface;
• never place hot pots and pans on the surface of the hob’s control panel.

• Pre-existing cookware

You can check if the pot material is magnetic simply by using a magnet. Pots are not suitable if they are not magnetically detectable. The indications from the previous paragraph also apply here.

USING THE EXTRACTOR FAN

The extraction system can be used in the duct-out version with external evacuation, or in the recirculating version with filtering and internal recirculation.

• Duct-Out Version:

Vapours are exhausted outside via a series of pipes (to be purchased separately). Connect the product to wall-mounted exhaust pipes and holes with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connecting flange). For more information on the pipes and their dimensions see the page relating to accessories in the installation manual – Duct-Out version. The use of pipes and outlet holes in the wall with a smaller diameter will reduce the extraction performance and drastically increase the noise level. All responsibility in this regard is therefore denied.
For maximum extraction efficiency: • We recommend a maximum pipe route length of 7 linear metres. • We recommend using no more than two 90° bends along the entire 7 linear metres • Avoid drastic changes in the ducting diameter, seeking to maintain a diameter of Ø 150 mm (or a rectangular section of 222 x 89 mm).

• Recirculating Version:

The extracted air will be filtered in special grease filters and odour filters before being sent back into the room. The product is supplied with all parts necessary for standard installation, with the air outlet positioned in the front part of the plinth. The product is equipped with a set of odour filters. For more information, see the page relating to accessories for the recirculating version (in the illustrated part of this manual).

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

Recommendations for correct use in order to reduce the impact on the environment: When cooking begins, the device should be turned on at minimum speed, and left on for a few minutes even after cooking is complete. Increase the speed only if there is a large quantity of fumes and steam, using the Booster function only in extreme cases. To keep the odour reduction system running efficiently, replace the carbon filter/s when necessary. To ensure the high performance of the grease filter, clean it when necessary. To improve efficiency and minimise noise, use the maximum duct diameter indicated in this manual.
Make good use of the residual heat of your electric hot plate, turning it off a few minutes before cooking is complete. The base of the pot or pan should cover the entire electric hot plate; use of cookware having a smaller base than the hot plate results in a waste of energy. Cover the pots and pans with perfectly-fitting lids during cooking, and do not use more water than necessary. Cooking without positioning the lid results in much higher energy consumption. Use only flat-bottom pots and pans.

MAINTENANCE

Please note! Before any cleaning or maintenance, make sure the cooking zones are switched off and the heat indicator has turned off.

For product maintenance, see the images at the end of the installation marked by this symbol.

HOB MAINTENANCE

• Cleaning the induction hob

The hob must be cleaned after each use.
Important:
• Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads. Their use, over time, may ruin the glass.
• Do not use irritant chemical detergents such as oven sprays or stain removers.
• DO NOT USE STEAM JET CLEANERS!!!
After each use, leave the hob to cool and clean it to remove deposits and stains caused by food residue. Sugar or food with a high sugar content damage the hob and must be removed immediately. Salt, sugar and sand may scratch the glass surface. Use a soft cloth, paper towel or specific products to clean the hob (follow the Manufacturer’s instructions).

• D Cleaning the liquid collection channel :

In the event large quantities of liquids accidentally spill out of the pots, they can be drained using the drain valve on the bottom part of the product so as to eliminate any residue and ensure maximum hygiene levels.
For a more complete and in-depth clean, the bottom collection channel can be completely removed.

• E Cleaning the metal grille:

The grille must be washed by hand with hot water and neutral detergent, then dried thoroughly to prevent oxidation.

EXTRACTOR FAN MAINTENANCE

• Cleaning the extractor fan :

For cleaning, use ONLY a cloth moistened with neutral liquid detergents.
DO NOT USE CLEANING UTENSILS OR TOOLS!
Avoid the use of products containing abrasives. DO NOT USE ALCOHOL!

• A Grease filter maintenance:

Traps grease particles generated by cooking.
Must be cleaned once a month (or when indicated by the filter saturation indication system), with non-aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher at low temperatures and in a short cycle. When cleaned in the dishwasher, the metal grease filter may discolour, but its filtering characteristics remain unchanged.

• B Ceramic activated carbon filter maintenance (For Recirculating Version only):

Traps unpleasant odours generated by cooking. The product comes with a set of odour filters.
The saturation of the odour filters can occur after somewhat prolonged use depending on the type of cooking and how regularly the grease filter is cleaned. The odour filters can be thermally regenerated every 2/3 months in an oven pre-heated to 200°C for 45 minutes. The correct regeneration of the filter ensures that it can constantly filter efficiently for 5 years.
Please note! Do not place the filters on the floor of the oven but rather in a tray, positioned at an intermediate height.

DISPOSAL

The packaging material is 100% recyclable and is marked by the recycling symbol
Make good use of the residual heat of your electric hot plate, turning it off a few minutes before cooking is complete. The base of the pot or pan should cover the entire electric hot plate; use of cookware having a smaller base than the hot plate results in a waste of energy. Cover the pots and pans with perfectly-fitting lids during cooking, and do not use more water than necessary. Cooking without positioning the lid results in much higher energy consumption. Use only flat-bottom pots and pans.

This device is marked in compliance with the European Directive 2012/19/EC – UK SI 2013 No.3113, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
