Dear Customer:
Thank you for purchasing the induction hob. We hope it will give many years of
good service. 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 for all kind of cooking.with its electromagnetic cooking zones, and its micro-computerized controls and its multi-functions, making it the ideal choice for today·s family. Manufactured with specially imported materials, they friendly, durable and safe.
Working Principle
the induction hob is extremely user- 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 cooking zone to the cooking vessel.
Safety
This hob was specially designed for domestic use. In its constant search to improve its products, 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
- 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)
- 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.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.
Warning:
- The induction hob must be installed by a properly qualified person. We have our own qualified installers. Never try to install the appliance yourself.
- Toe induction hob must not be installed above refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers or tumble dryers.
- Toe induction hob should be installed so that optimum radiation of heat is possible.
- The wall and the area above the hob should be able to withstand heat.
- To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive should be heat-resistant
Connection to the power supply
The socket should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, to a
single pole If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply,
an omnipolar circuit breaker must be installed with a minimum gap of 3 mm
between the contacts. The installer must ensure that the correct electrical
connection has been made and thatit complies with safety regulations.The cable
must not be bent or compressed. The cable must be checked regularly and only
replaced by a property-qualified person.

Operation of product
Touch Controls
- The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
- Use the ball of your finger, not its 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
- Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
- You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out a magnet test. Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
- If you do not have a magnet:
- Put some water in the pan you want to check.
- If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
- Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware.Do not use cookware with jagged edges 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.
- Use pans whose diameter is as large as the graphic of the zone selected. Using a pot a slightly wider energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. If you use smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. Pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.
- Always lift paans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.
