Installation Instructions

Preparing the Cut-Out

• Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the diagram below.
• For the purpose of installation and use, ensure you leave a minimum of 5cm space around the cut out.
• Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least30mm. 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 risk of electrical shock and larger deformation caused by the heat radiation from the hotplate. As shown below:

The safety distance between the sides of the cooktop and the inner surfaces of the worktop should be at least 3mm.

Preparing the Cut-Out

• Under all circumstances, make sure the ceramic cooktop is well ventilated and the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. Ensure the ceramic cooktop is in good working state (as shown below).
• Please refer to your rangehood’s user manual for exact minimum clearances from the top of the cooktop surface to your rangehood.

• Note: Adjacent walls, cupboards and protection for combustible materials: Ensure that the appliance is installed in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1, or AS/NZS 5601.2 with regard to clearances to combustiblesurfaces and materials, and clearances to rangehoodsand exhaust fans.
  Ensuring Adequate Ventilation

  • Make sure the ceramic cooktop is well ventilated and that air inlet and outlet is not blocked. In order to avoid accidental touch with the overheating bottom of the cooktop, or getting unexpected 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 cooktop. Follow the requirements below.
  • IMPORTANT: There are ventilation holes around the outside of the hob. YOU MUST ensure these holes are not blocked by the worktop when you are placing the hob into position.
  • The rear wall, adjacent and surrounding surfaces must therefore be able to withstand an temperature of 90 °C.
  • Ensure that the worktop is at least 30mm thick minimum.

Installation Safety Warnings

• The ceramic cooktop must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians. We have professionals at your service. Please never conduct the operation by yourself.
• The ceramic cooktop should not be mounted to cooling equipment, dishwashers and rotary dryers.
• The ceramic cooktop shall be installed so that better heat radiation can be ensured to enhance its reliability.
• The wall and induced heating zone above the work  surface must withstand high temperatures.
• To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be resistant to heat.
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the cooktop.

Applying the Fixing Brackets

• The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (such as the packaging). Do not apply force onto the controls protruding from the hob. Fix the hob on the work surface by screwing in the four brackets on the bottom of hob after installation (see diagram below).

IMPORTANT!

• When applying the brackets, ensure you adjust the brackets’ position to suit your particular work surface’s thickness. Under no circumstances are the brackets to touch with the inner surfaces of the worktop after installation (see diagram below).

Connecting the Hob to the Mains Power Supply

• The power supply should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, or a single-pole circuit breaker. The method of connection is shown below.

• 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 minimum gap of 3mm 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.
• The bottom surface and the power cord of the hob should not accessible after installation is complete.

Operating Instructions

Using the Touch Controls

• Read this guide carefully, taking special note of the ‘Safety Information’ chapter.
• Ensure you remove any protective film that may still be on your ceramic hob.
• The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
• Use the ball of your finger, not just the tip.
• You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
• Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the controls difficult to operate.

Choosing the Right Cookware

• Do not use cookware with jagged edges, coarse surfaces or a curved base.
• Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone. Always center your pan on the cooking zone.
• Always lift pans off the ceramic hob—do not slide them, as they may scratch the glass.

Cooking With Your Ceramic Cooktop
After powering on, the buzzer tone will beep once, the indicators will then light up for 1 second before, indicating that the ceramic hob has entered standby.

• Touch the ON/OFF power control.
Note: Each cooking zone is independent of one another.|
---|---
• Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that you wish to use.
• Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone are clean and dry.|
• Select a heat setting by turning the knob control clockwise.
• If you don’t choose a heat setting within 1 minute, the ceramic cooktop will automatically switch off.
• You can modify the heat setting at any time during cooking by turning the knob between levels 1 to 9.|
• When you have finished cooking, turn the cooking zone off by turning the knob counter-clockwise to “OFF”. The Residual heat indicator will then flash.|
• Turn the cooktop off by touching the ON/OFF power control.|
• The relevant Residual heat indicator will flash, meaning the cooking zone(s) previously used are too hot to touch.
The indicator(s) will disappear when the surface has cooled down to a safe temperature.|
• The cooktop contains an automatic shut-down safety feature.
This occurs whenever you forget to switch off a cooking zone.
The default shutdown times (in hours) are shown in the this table:| Power Setting| 1| 2| 3| 4| 5| 6| 7| 8| 9

Cleaning & Maintenance

Care & Cleaning Guide

Everyday soiling on glass.
(fingerprints, marks, stains left by food or non-sugary spillovers)| 1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Apply a ceramic cooktop cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3. Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel.
4. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.| When the power to the cooktop is switched off, there will be no ‘hot surface’ indication but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take care. Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner is suitable.
Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop as it may become a stain.
Boil-overs, melts, and hot sugary spills on the glass.| Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife or scraper suitable for ceramic cooktops, but beware of hot cooktop surfaces:
1. Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a dish cloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 above.| Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as possible. If left to cool on the glass, they may be difficult to remove or even permanently damage the glass surface.
Cut hazard: when the safety cover is retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children.
Spillovers on the touch controls.| 1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe the touch control area with a clean and damp sponge or cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry with a paper towel.
5. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.| The cooktop may beep and turn itself off, and the touch controls may not function while there is liquid on them. Make sure you wipe the touch control area dry before turning the cooktop back on.

Troubleshooting

Hints & Tips
