• 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 to all kinds of cooking, with its electromagnetic cooking zones, micro-computerized 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. The 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, program, 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. aluminum) 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.

Selection of cooking vessels

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 in 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 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 according to Table 1 below.

3. Use only ferromagnetic cookware made from enameled steel, cast iron, or stainless steel but compatible with induction

4. Use pans whose diameter of the ferromagnetic area (base of the pan) is in the range of dimensions in the table below. (Table 1)

   • If you use smaller pots, performance could be affected
   • If you use a pot with a diameter smaller than the one indicated in Table 1, pots may not be detected
   • According to the dimension of the zone, you can use pots of different diameters as picture below:

5. If the ferromagnetic part covers only partially the base of the pan, only the ferromagnetic area will heat up, the rest of the base may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.

6. If the ferromagnetic area is not homogeneous, but presents other materials such as

   • aluminum this may affect the heating up and the pan detection.
   • If the base of the pan is similar to the pictures below the pan could be not detected.
