• 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.

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.

Advantages:
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 losses.

Cooking containers

Use only pots bearing the symbol

Important :
to avoid permanent damage to the hob surface, do not use:

• containers with less than perfectly flat bottoms.
• metal containers with enameled bottoms.
• containers 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 containers
Induction cooking uses magnetism to generate heat. Containers must therefore contain iron. Check if the pot material is magnetic using a magnet. Pots are not suitable if they are not magnetically detectable.

Recommended pan bottom diameters
IMPORTANT: if the pots are not correctly sized, the cooking zones will not turn on

For details of the minimum pot diameter that needs to be used on each zone, see the illustrated part of this manual.

Energy saving
Recommendations for best results:

• Use pots and pans with a bottom diameter equal to that of the cooking zone.
• Use only pots and pans with flat bottoms.
• Where possible, keep the lid on pots during cooking
• Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with a minimal amount of water to reduce cooking time.
• Use a pressure cooker, as it further reduces the energy consumption and cooking time
• Place the pot in the centre of the cooking zone outlined on the hob.

Using the extractor fan
The extraction system can be used in two versions: external extraction and evacuation or as a filter with internal recirculation.

Extraction version

• The fumes are evacuated towards the outside through a series of pipes (bought separately) fastened to the supplied connecting flange.
• The diameter of the exhaust pipe must be equivalent to the diameter of the connecting ring:
  • for rectangular outlets 222 x 89 mm
  • for circular outlets Ø 150 mm (*)
• For more information, see the page relative to the extraction version in the illustrated part of this manual. Connect the product to wall-mounted exhaust pipes and holes with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connecting flange).
• Using wall-mounted exhaust pipes and holes with a smaller diameter may reduce the efficiency of extraction and drastically increase noise levels.
• All responsibility in this regard is therefore denied.
• Keep duct as short as possible.
• Use ducting with the least possible number of curves (maximum angle: 90°).
• Avoid drastic changes in the ducting diameter.

Filtration version

• The extracted air will be filtered in special grease filters and odour filters before being sent back into the room. For more information, see the page relating to accessories in the installation manual – Filter version.
• Warning: If the outlet is inside the cabinet, create an air vent through the plinth panel measuring at least 120cm2. Visit the websites www.elica.com and www.shop.elica.com to check the complete range of available kits for different types of filtration and extraction installations.

Installation

• Both electric and mechanical installation must be carried out by specialised personnel.
• The electrical appliance is designed to be built into a work top with a thickness of 2-6 cm in the case of TOP installation; 2.5-6 cm in the case of FLUSH installation. The minimum distance between the hob and the wall must be at least 5 cm in front, at least 4 cm on the sides and at least 50 cm from overhead wall units. NB = The recommended distances are given as examples: when planning the spaces, the indications of the kitchen manufacturer must be observed.

Maintenance

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

Cleaning
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 chemical irritants, such as oven sprays or stain removers.
• 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 damages the hob and must be immediately removed.
• 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).

DO NOT USE STEAM JET CLEANERS!!!

• Important:
  • If liquids accidentally or excessively leak out of the pots, the drain valve located on the lower part of the product can be opened so as to remove any residue and be able to
  • clean in conditions of maximum hygiene.
• 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: 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!

Grease filter

• Traps grease particles generated by cooking.
• Must be cleaned once per month (or when the filter saturation indication system indicates this need), with non-aggressive detergents, either manually or in the dishwasher at a low temperature and in a short cycle.
• When cleaned in the dishwasher, the metal grease filter may discolour, but its filtering characteristics remain unchanged. Fig. 32.3 – 32.5

Activated Carbon Filter – Ceramic (Only for Filtration Version)

• 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. Fig. 32
