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
  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).
• in 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.

POWER MANAGEMENT
This function allows you to set the total maximum power of the induction hob. This may be necessary in connection with the available electrical connection. By default, the induction hob is set to 7.0kW. The induction hob can be set to one of the following values:

A1

| 7.0 kW (default)
5.5 kW
4.5 kW

A2

| 3.5 kW
2.5 kW

Once you have provided the supplied cable of the induction hob with a plug and the induction hob has been placed, you can insert the plug in the socket.
If you want to adapt the maximum power, you must do this within 5 minutes after inserting the plug in the socket.

•  Switch on the induction hob by means of the on/off key and then hold down the and keys at the same time for 3 seconds.
•  The display of the timer shows the default value [ P5 = 7.0kW ] or a previously selected value.
•  Use the and keys to select a different value (P1 = 2.5kW / P2 = 3.5kW / P3 = 4.5kW / P4 = 5.5kW).
•  Confirm the selected value within 10 seconds by pressing the and keys at the same time for 3 seconds.
• A sound signal sounds and then the induction hob is switched off. The induction hob now functions with the maximum power set by you.
•  If the selected value is not confirmed within 10 seconds, the induction hob switches off automatically and continues to function in accordance with the latest setting.

During use of the different cooking zones, the Power Management function checks that the selected total power is not exceeded. Settings that would lead to a situation where the power is exceeded are blocked and are not accessible to the user.

MAXIMUM POWER
During cooking, the maximum available power of each cooking zone depends on how much is being cooked at the same time and to what wattage the power management has been set:

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

Allow all cooking zones to cool down before cleaning the induction hob and activate the child lock before you begin.

•  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.
