Dear Customer:
Thank you for purchasing the CANDY 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 today’s family.
Manufactured with specially imported materials, the CANDY 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, CANDY 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 warn 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 a hole in the worktop of the dimension shown in the diagram below. A minimum of 50 mm space should be left around the hole.
   The worktop should be at least 30 mm thick and made of heat-resistant material. As shown in Figure (1)Flush installation: Feasible only if the oven is not installed under the counter

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.
   Figure (2) NB: For safety, the gap between the hob and any cupboard above it should be at least 760 mm.

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. Warnings :
   (1) The induction hob must be installed by a properly qualified person. We have our own qualified installers. Never try to install the appliance yourself.
   (2) The induction hob must 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 and adhesive should be heat- resistant.

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.

lf 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.
lf the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply, an omnipolar circuit breaker must be installed with a minimum 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.

   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.If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected.Pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob.
