Remove and keep them safe; Also check that there is a power socket near the installation area
-
Preparing the cabinet for installation:
• The product cannot be installed above cooling appliances, dishwashers, heaters, ovens, washing machines and dryers; Create the cut-outs in the cabinet before inserting the hob and carefully remove shavings or sawdust.
• to optimise the recirculating installation, it is recommended to create a slot in the plinth, in which to insert a commercial grille.
• Important: use a single component adhesive sealant (S) that can withstand high temperatures up to 250°; before installation, the surfaces that need to be glued must be thoroughly cleaned, removing all substances that may compromise adhesion (e.g. release agents, preservatives, grease, oils, powders, old adhesive residue, etc.); the adhesive must be evenly spread along the entire perimeter of the frame; after gluing, leave the adhesive to dry for about 24 hours.
The single-component adhesive sealant (S) should only be used in the case of Flush installation, taking care to place it as shown in Fig.1B.
When installing the gasket (P), take care to position it correctly as shown in the figure:
– TOP installation: the gasket (P) must be attached to the glass Fig.2A.
– FLUSH installation – the gasket (P) must be attached to the furniture. Fig.2B. -
Note: for correct installation of the product, it is recommended to tape the pipes using an adhesive with the following characteristics: soft elastic PVC film, with acrylic-based adhesive; complies with DIN EN 60454 regulations; flame retardant; excellent resistance against wear; resistant to temperature fluctuations; can be used at low temperatures.
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).
