  Dear Customer:
  Thank you for purchasing the HOOVER induction hob. We hope it will give many years of good service. Please read this instruction manual carefully before using the hob and keep it in a safe place for future reference.

Product Introduction

The induction hob caters for all kind of cooking,with its electromagnetic cookingzones, and its micro-computerised controls and multi-functions, making it the ideal choice for todays family.
Manufactured with specially imported materials, the HOOVER induction hob is extremely user-friendly, durable and safe.
Working Principle
The induction hob comprises a coil, a hotplate made of ferromagnetic material and a control system. Electrical current generates a powerful magnetic field through the coil. This produces a large number of vortices which in turn generate heat which is then transmitted through the cookingzone to the cooking vessel.

Safety

This hob was specially designed for domestic use. In its constant search to improve its products, reserves the right to modify any technical, programme or aesthetic aspects of the appliance at any time.

• Protection from over-heating
  A sensor monitors the temperature in the cooking zones. When the temperature exceeds a safe level, the cooking zone is automatically switched off.

• Detection of small or non-magnetic items
  When a pan with a diameter of less than 80 mm, or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) or a non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium) has been left on the hob, a buzzer sounds for approximately one minute, after which the hob goes automatically on to standby.

• Residual heat warning
  When the hob has been operating for some time, there will be some residual heat. The letter “H” appears to wam you to keep away from it.

• Auto shutdown
  Another safety feature of the induction hob is auto shutdown. This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone. The default shutdown times are shown in the table below:

When the pan is removed from the cooking zone, it stops heating immediately and switches itself off after the buzzer has sounded for one minute.
Warning: Anyone who has been fitted with a heart pacemaker should consult a doctor before using the induction hotplate.

Installation

1. Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing. For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 5 cm space shall be preserved around the hole. Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please select heat-resistant and insulated work surface material (Wood and similar fibrous or hygroscopic material shall not be used as work surface material unless impregnated) to avoid the electrical shock and larger deformation caused by the heat radiation from the hotplate. As shown in Figure(1):
   Note: The safety distance between the sides of the hob and the inner surfaces of the worktop should be at least 3mm.
   

2.  It is essential that the induction hob is well ventilated and that the air intake and exit are not blocked.
   Make sure the hob is correctly installed as shown in Figure 2.
   
   NB: For safety, the gap between the hob and any cupboard above it should be at least 760 mm.
   WARNING: Ensuring Adequate Ventilation
   Make sure the induction cooker hob is well ventilated and that air inlet and outlet are not blocked. In order to avoid accidental touch with the overheating bottom of the hob, or getting unexpectable electric shock during working, it is necessary to put a wooden insert, fixed by screws, at a minimum distance of 50mm from the bottom of the hob. Follow the requirements below.

Note:There are ventilation holes around outside of the hob. YOU MUST ensure these holes are not blocked by the worktop when you put the hob into position.
Note: Be aware that the glue that join the plastic or wooden material to the furniture, has to resist to temperature not below 150 C, to avoid the unstuck of the paneling. The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to withstand an temperature of 90 C.

3. Fix the hob to the worktop using the four brackets on the base of the hob. The position of the brackets can be adjusted according to the thickness of the top.
   
   Note: Under any circumstances, the brackets cannot touch with the inner surfaces of the worktop after installation (see picture).
   Warnings:
   (1) The induction hobm ust be installed by a properly qualified person. We have our own qualified installers. Never try to install the appliance yourself.
   (2) The induction hobm ust not be installed above refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers or tumble dryers.
   (3) The induction hob should be installed so that optimum radiation of heat is possible.
   (4) The wall and the area above the hob should be able to withstand heat.
   (5) To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer a nd adhesive should be heat- resistant. (6) A steam cleaner is not to be used.

4. Connection to power supply
   The socket should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, to a single-pole circuit breaker. The method of connection is shown in Figure 3.
   

If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, this should be done by an after- sales technician using the proper tools, so as to avoid any accidents. If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply, an omnipolar circuit breaker must be installed with a minimu gap of 3 mm between the contacts. The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it complies with safety regulations. The cable must not be bent or compressed. The cable must be checked regularly and only replaced by a properly qualified person.
Note: he bottom surface and the power cord of the hob are not accessible after installation.

• Then the” ” will be displayed,

• Activate the cooking zone we want to record by pressing”+” or “-“, the recording of the cycle on the selected zone starts.

FLEXIBLE AREA
This area can be used as a single zone or as two different zones, 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, the part that is not covered by cookware is automatically switched off after one minute.
To grant a correct pan detection and a even heat distribution, the cookware should be correctly placed:
– In the front or rear side of the flexible zone when the cookware is smaller than 22 cm
– Anywhere with bigger cookware

As big zone
To activate the flexible area as a single big zone, simply press the dedicated keys.

The power setting works as any other normal area. If the pot is moved from the front to the rear part (or viceversa), the flexible area detects automatically the new position, keeping the same power.
To add a further pot, press again the dedicated keys, in order to detect the cookware.
Deactivation of the continuum zone
Resetting the power of the continuum zone or pressing the continuum key again
As two independent zones
To use the flexible area as two different zones with different power settings, press the dedicated keys.

The maximum power of cooking zones is as follows:

The maximum power of cooking zones is as follows:
The above may vary according to the size of the pan and the material it is made from
Pan Dimension

The cooking zones are, up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan. However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according to the corresponding cooking zone. To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the center of the cooking zone.

Selection of cooking vessele

You may have a number of different cooking vessels

1. This induction hob can identify a variety of cooking vessels, which you can test by one of the following methods: Place the vessel on the cooking zone. If the corresponding cooking zone displays a power level, then the vessel is suitable. If “U” flashes, then the vessel is not suitable for use with the induction hob.

2. Hold a magnet to the vessel. If the magnet is attracted to the vessel, it is suitable for use with the induction hob.
   NB: The base of the vessel must contain magnetic material. It must have a flat bottom with a diameter of more than 14 cm.

3. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum efficiency.lf you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected.Pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob.
