• Ensure the voltage corresponds to the value given in the data plate.
• Ensure the power supply cable sections can withstand the load specified on the rating plate.
• Note the specifications in chapter “Technical data”.
• The power supply cable must not touch any hot parts and must be routed so that its temperature does not exceed 75 °C.

WARNING! Fire hazard

• The safety distance between the cooktop and the device above the cooktop must be at least 500 mm (fig.3,).
• Ensure the cooktop is well-ventilated and the air inlet and air outlet are not blocked (fig.3,)

WARNING! Damage hazard
Use a work surface made of heat-resistant material.
NOTE
Ensure that the power supply cable is not accessible through cabinet doors or drawers after installation.

1. Ensure that the distances are maintained as specified in fig.3,

2. Cut out the working surface, see fig.4,
   The thickness of the working surface must be 10 – 40 mm.

3. Mount the brackets on the working surface, see fig.5.

4. Mount the spacer to the cooktop, see fig.6.

5. Mount the cooktop to the brackets, see fig.7.

Operation

WARNING! Damage hazard

• Do not slide cookware over the cooktop.
• Lift the cookware when you want to remove it from the plate.

CAUTION!
Verify that the voltage and frequency of the main supply of the ship match the marking of the device.

Observe the following hints and recommendations:

• If the device is intended to operate by inverter power, the inverter should have a minimum continuous output rating of at least 2300 W and be connected to a lithium battery bank with a battery management system that is capable of applying the necessary loads.
• If you are using an inverter with a power output of less than 2000 W, only one induction zone should be used at a time.
• CVI1525 only: Both induction zones can be used with main power supply. However, the shore power input of a recreational vehicle is limited to 15 A. The operation of multiple AC devices, e.g. Aircon air-conditioner, hot water systems, or air fryers, at the same time may overload the recreational vehicle’s input. In this case reduce the load and reset the fault-current circuit breaker, if necessary.
• The buttons respond to touch. Do not use pressure to operate the buttons.
• Use the fingertip and not the fingernail to operate.
• Ensure the buttons are always clean and dry so that the operation is not affected.

Choosing the right cookware

WARNING! Health hazard

• Do not heat up empty pots or pans and do not use cookware with a thin bottom.
• The cookware can heat up very quickly.

NOTE

• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking.
