•  If the safety instructions and warnings are not observed, the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any resulting damage.

•  Never open the base unit of the appliance.

•  Do not heat up closed cans on the hob. This creates overpressure, as a result of which the cans may explode. You could injure/burn yourself as a result.

•  WARNING: fire hazard: do not leave anything standing on the hob unattended.

•  WARNING: cooking with fat or oil on an unattended hob can be dangerous and could result in fire. NEVER try to extinguish the fire with water. Instead, you should turn off the appliance and then cover the flames with a lid or an extinguishing blanket, for example.

•  Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces.

•  The appliance may not be used outdoors.

•  Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance can be switched on by accident or still be hot, which means that objects could melt, get hot or catch fire.

•  Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar. If the appliance is still hot or is switched on, there is a fire hazard.

•  Never clean the hob with a high pressure cleaner or steam cleaner.

•  Do not use the appliance in a room with an ambient temperature below 5°C.

•  If the appliance is used for the first time, it will smell ‘new’. This is normal. The smell will disappear through ventilation.

•  WARNING: if the glass plate of the induction hob is broken:

• immediately switch off all burners and electrical heating elements and interrupt the power supply to the appliance.

•  If a drawer is fitted underneath the appliance, without an intermediate shelf, then no easily flammable objects/substances may be stored in it. Ensure there is several centimetres clearance between the underside of the hob
  and the contents of any drawer.

•  The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or a separate remote control system.

•  Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the surface of the hob. These can become hot.

•  When you remove the pan from the induction hob, the cooking activity is stopped automatically. However, always make it a habit to switch off the hob or cooking zone to prevent unwanted activation. Switch off the cooking zone by means of the control and do not only rely upon the pan detection system.

prior to first use

Before using the appliance for the first time, proceed as follows: carefully unpack the induction hob and removeall packaging material. Keep the packaging (plastic bags and cardboard) out of the reach of children. After unpacking the appliance, check it for external damage that may have occurred during transport. Clean the glass plate with a slightly damp cloth. Check that the voltage corresponds with what is stated on the information plate. For installing the induction hob, observe the instructions in the following section.

installation instruction

•  Safety during use is only guaranteed if the assembly has taken place in a technically correct way and in accordance with these installation instructions. The installer is liable for damage caused by incorrect assembly.
•  The electrical connection may be carried out only by a qualified electrician. This person should be aware of the national and regional safety instructions with which the connection has to comply.
•  The hob falls under protective class I and may only be used in combination with an earthed connection. The manufacturer is not liable for unsuitable operation and possible damage caused by unsuitable electric installations.
•  The hob must be connected to a permanent installation in which provisions for switching off are integrated, in accordance with the installation instructions.
•  Induction hobs may only be installed above a drawer, an oven with forced ventilation or dishwasher, and always with a minimum distance for ventilation. Under the induction hob, no refrigerators, ovens without ventilation or washing machines should be installed.
•  Make sure that the power supply cable does not get jammed during installation or is running along sharp edges. If an oven is installed below it, make sure the cable runs via the rear corners of the oven to the connection box. It must be placed in such a way that no contact is made with hot parts of the hob or oven.
•  The connection point, socket and/or plug must always be accessible.
•  The worktop on which the hob is placed must be flat, horizontal and stable. Observe the instructions from the manufacturer of the worktop.
•  In case of incorrect installation or connection, the warranty becomes invalid.
•  Attention: any change to the appliance, including replacement of the power supply cable, must be performed by a certified installer.

SPACE AROUND THE HOB
Safe use requires sufficient space around the induction hob. Check that this space is available.

OVERALL DIMENSIONS
The figures below show the dimensions of the recesses in mm.

VENTILATION
The electronics in the hob require cooling. The hob will switch itself off after a short time if insufficient air is circulating and overheating occurs. The ventilation openings are located underneath the hob. It must be possible to draw in cool air through these openings. At the front, the hob is fitted with outlet openings to discharge the hot air. Aeration takes place via the plinth and the rear of the cabinet. Cut out the ventilation openings (min. 100cm2). Air supply via the plinth is superfluous if, in combination with the opening at the back of the cabinet, there is an opening somewhere else where air can be drawn in.
Ensure there is a sufficient supply and discharge of air.

•  Make a ventilation opening at the front of the kitchen unit of at least the appliance width and with a height of at least 5 mm if the hob is installed above an oven, drawer or intermediate support.
•  Ensure that there is minimum distance of 50 mm between the oven, the drawer or intermediate support and the hob. The ventilation of the hob may make metal objects in the drawer hot. If this happens, we recommend using an intermediate support. This could be a wooden panel.
•  Caution: when installing above an oven or drawer, the worktop should be at least 38 mm thick.
•  Make sure the traverse bar does not hinder the air flow. Cut or saw the cross member [C] diagonally if necessary.

CONNECTING THE INDUCTION HOB TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

•  The induction hob is supplied with a connecting cable without plug and, according to wiring diagram A1, has a standard setting for 2 x 1 phase (230V AC). The induction hob uses a so-called 5-pole Perilix plug (not included).
• n the meter cupboard, the groups must each be protected with a 16 Ampere fuse at least.
•  The induction hob can also be connected according to wiring diagram A2. This may only be performed by a recognised installer. More instructions can be found in the enclosed instructions for the electrical connection.
•  The socket for connecting to the electrical system must be provided with an earthing pen and may not be located above the induction hob. The socket for connecting to the electrical system must also be accessible for the user after placement of the induction hob.
•  Before connecting the induction hob, check that:
•  the fuse and electrical system are suitable for the load of the induction hob,
•  the electrical system is equipped with an adequate earthing system that meets the applicable standards and regulations.
•  the socket is easily accessible.

BUILDING-IN THE HOB

•  Check that the kitchen unit and the opening conform to the requirements in respect of measurements and ventilation.
•  Remove any wood shavings after the cutting work in the worktop opening and treat the cut edges of plastic or wooden worktops with sealing varnish if necessary to prevent the worktop from swelling due to moisture.
•  Lay the hob upside down on the worktop.
•  Mount the plug to the connecting cable in accordance with the imposed requirements.
•  Mount the supplied fastening brackets using the supplied screws in the induction hob.
•  Turn the hob over and lay it in the opening.
•  Adjust the bracket position to suit for different table top thickness.
  Warning: Under any circumstances, the brackets cannot touch with the inner surfaces of the worktop after installation (see picture).

REMOVING THE HOB
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply. Remove the induction hob by applying pressure from below. Attention! Take care not to damage the appliance! Do not try to remove the induction hob by trying to lift it out of the work to from above.

operating the hob

Only use pans that are suitable for an induction hob.After connecting the induction hob to the electrical system, it is possible that the entire display lights up for a short moment. When this is over, the induction hob is standby and ready for use. The induction hob works by means of electronic sensors that are operated by touching the corresponding touch controls or sliders. At each touch of a touch control, you can hear a sound signal. Control the power by gently moving your finger over the slider.

SWITCHING ON THE INDUCTION HOB
Switch on the induction hob by pressing the ON/OFF key for a few seconds. The displays of all cooking zones show _ . If no cooking zone is selected within 60 seconds, the induction hob switches off automatically.

SWITCHING OFF THE INDUCTION HOB
Switch off the induction hob at any time by pressing the ON/OFF key for a few seconds. The ON/OFF key always has priority in the switching off function.

SWITCHING ON A COOKING ZONE
Place a pan on the cooking zone. Press the key of the cooking zone you wish to use. Select the required power using the and to the left to decrease the power and/or switch the cooking zone off. To bring food to the boil quickly, touch the B at the end of the slider control to activate the Boost mode.

BOOST MODE – B
The Boost mode provides extra power and can be set for all zones, except when the bridge mode is being used. Slide the slider control of the selected cooking zone to the highest power or directly press the B at the end of the slider control. The Boost mode is activated when a b appears on the display of the cooking zone concerned. When an additional cooking zone is activated, the maximum available power is exceeded and the Boost mode is stopped automatically. It is possible that the maximum available power for the active cooking zones together is exceeded. In that case, the power of the cooking zones is reduced automatically. The required power reduction is shown through flashing of the cooking zone concerned. The display flashes for 5 seconds and during that time adjustments can be made before the power is reduced automatically. The time period of the Boost mode is 5 minutes maximum. After 5 minutes the power returns to the previously set position or, if no position was selected, the Boost mode returns to position 9.

SWITCHING OFF A COOKING ZONE
Select the cooking zone you want to switch off by pressing the corresponding key or by turning off the accompanying slider control [0]. Move a finger to the left on the slider control or directly press the outer left side of the slider control to switch off the cooking zone. If the cooking zone is hot, the display shows a [H] instead of an [0].

SWITCHING OFF ALL COOKING ZONES AT THE SAME TIME
To switch off all cooking zones at the same time, you must press the ON/OFF key. On the displays of all cooking zones that are still hot, you can see an [H].

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The residual heat indicator shows that the glass is still too hot to touch in the area of the cooking zone. If the area of the cooking zone is still too hot, a [H] appears on the display of the cooking zone concerned. Once the temperature has dropped, the [H] indication disappears.

BRIDGE MODE – FLEXIBLE COOKING ZONE
By connecting two cooking zones, an extra large cooking surface is created, making it easy to bake in a large roasting pan or on a grill plate. Only the two left cooking zones can be connected. Switching on the connected cooking zones.

• Press the touch control to connect the two left cooking zones. Both accompanying slider controls switch on, but only the top one can be operated.
• Select the required power with the top slider control . Control the power by gently moving your finger over the slider control.
• The connected cooking zone is ready for use.

HEAT MODE
By setting the cooking zone to the heat mode, the induction hob keeps the food hot between 40-70°C. Setting: switch on the required cooking zone by activating the accompanying slider control and immediately press the heat mode key to set the heat mode. If the heat mode is active, [ I ] appears on the accompanying display. To switch off the heat mode, you must touch the slider control.

SAFE AUTOMATIC SWITCHING OFF
Each cooking zone is switched off automatically after a defined maximum cooking time, if the power has not been changed. The maximum cooking time depends on the selected power.

CHILD LOCK/KEY LOCK
The child lock prevents unintended use of the induction hob. Once the induction hob has been switched on, the child lock can be activated. Do not set a cooking zone. To switch on the child lock, press the + and – keys at the same time.  [Lo] (Locked) appears on the display and indicates that the operation cannot be changed. Changes to a higher power or other changes are not possible. When activating the child lock while the induction hob is being used, the following indication [Lo] starts to flash. The induction hob remains locked until this lock is cancelled, even if the induction hob is switched off and on again. To deactivate the child lock, you must first switch on the induction hob. Press the + and – keys at the same time. [Lo] disappears.

SETTING THE TIMER FUNCTION
The timer function can be used in two ways: cooking alarm and cooking timer.

Cooking alarm
The cooking alarm can only be used when the induction hob is being used. Switch on the induction hob and press the key of the timer and the display shows 10. Set the new required time using the + and – keys. The cooking alarm can be set from 0 to 99 minutes. If no keys are pressed for a period of 10 seconds, the time stops flashing and counts down. When the set time has expired, a beep signal sounds and the display shows . To change the time, press the key once more and adjust the time with the + and – keys.

Cooking timer
The cooking timer is coupled to a cooking zone and can be set separately for each cooking zone. Contrary to the cooking alarm, the cooking timer switches off the cooking zone when the set time has passed.

DISPLAY INDICATION

off the cooking zone. Something has been placed on the control or the cookware is unsuitable or too small.

pans for induction

Pan that have previously been used on a different hob, e.g. a gas hob, are no longer suitable for an induction hob. You should therefore purchase new pans prior to first use, if you do not have suitable pans.

•  Use pans with a thick, flat bottom with the same diameter as a cooking zone. This reduces cooking time.
•  Pans made of metal, enamelled metal, cast iron and stainless steel give the best results.
•  Pay attention to the instructions from the manufacturer as to whether the pan is suitable for use on an induction hob.
•  Pans made of enamelled metal or aluminium or pans with copper bottoms could leave a metal-like substance on the glass plate. Remove it immediately after use, because it will get increasingly more difficult to remove.
•  A pan is suitable for induction when a magnet remains stuck to the bottom.
•  A pan should always be placed in the centre of a cooking zone.
•  Some pans could generate different sounds when used. This is caused by the shape of the pan and does not affect the operation or safety of the induction hob.

ENERGY SAVING

•  To a certain extent, an induction cooking zone automatically adapts to the diameter of the pan used. However, the magnetic part of the pan bottom should have a certain minimum diameter, depending on the dimensions of the cooking zone.
•  Place the pan on the cooking zone before it is switched on. If you switch on a cooking zone without a pan on top of it, the cooking zone will do nothing.
•  Always use a lid on the pan to reduce cooking time.
•  Reduce the power when the liquid is boiling.
•  Do not use too much liquid or fat. Cooking or frying takes longer if you use too much.
• select the correct power for the different cooking possibilities.

cleaning and maintenance

•  When cleaning the surface of the hob, do not use aggressive abrasive cleaning agents, spray cans or sharp objects that have not been developed for this purpose.
•  Clean the surface of the hob daily with a moist cloth and a mild cleaning agent, such as a washing-up liquid. Dry properly with paper towels or a dry tea towel.
•  Use a special cleaning agent for ceramic/induction hobs in case of stubborn stains. Caution: observe the instructions on the packaging.
•  Boiled over food can be removed by soaking it with a damp cloth and a little bit of washing-up liquid, or you can use a glass scraper. Caution: the glass scraper is sharp. Keep it away from children.
• Exception: when spilling sugar, you must remove it before the induction hob cools down (make sure you do not burn yourself) to prevent it from burning into the glass.
