Care and Cleaning

Everyday soiling on glass(fingerprints, marks, stains left by food, or non- sugary spillovers on the glass)|

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Apply a cooktop cleaner while the glass is still warm (but not hot!)
3.  Rinse and wipe dry with a clean cloth or paper towel4. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.

|

• When the power to the cooktop is switched off, there will be no ‘hot surface’ indication but the cooking zone may still be hot! Take extreme care.
• Heavy-duty scourers, some nylon scourers, and harsh/abrasive cleaning agents may scratch the glass. Always read the label to check if your cleaner or scourer is suitable.
• Never leave cleaning residue on the cooktop: the glass may become stained.

Boilovers melt, and hot sugary spills on the glass| Remove these immediately with a fish slice, palette knife, or razor blade scraper suitable for ceramic glass cooktops, but beware of hot cooking zone surfaces:

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off at the wall.
2. Hold the blade or utensil at a 30° angle and scrape the soiling or spill to a cool area of the cooktop.
3. Clean the soiling or spill up with a dishcloth or paper towel.
4. Follow steps 2 to 4 for ‘Everyday soiling on glass’ above.

|

• Remove stains left by melts and sugary food or spillovers as soon as possible. If left to cool on the glass, they may be difficult to remove or even permanently damage the glass surface.
• Cut hazard: when the safety cover is retracted, the blade in a scraper is razor-sharp. Use with extreme care and always store safely and out of reach of children.

Spillovers on the touch controls|

1. Switch the power to the cooktop off.
2. Soak up the spill
3. Wipe the touch control area with a clean damp sponge or cloth.
4. Wipe the area completely dry with a paper towel.
5. Switch the power to the cooktop back on.

ProblemHints and Tips

connected to the power supply and that it is switched on.
Check whether there is a power outage in your home or area. If you’ve checked everything and the problem persists, call a qualified technician.
The touch controls are unresponsive.| The controls are locked.| Unlock the controls. See section ‘Using your ceramic cooktop’ for instructions.
The touch controls are difficult to operate.| There may be a slight film of water over the controls or you may be using the tip of your finger when touching the controls.| Make sure the touch control area is dry and use the ball of your finger when touching the controls.
The glass is being scratched.| Rough-edged cookware.
Unsuitable, abrasive scourer or cleaning products being used.| Use cookware with flat and smooth bases. See ‘Choosing the right cookware.

Some pans make crackling or clicking noises.| This may be caused by the construction of your cookware (layers of different metals vibrating differently).| This is normal for cookware and does not indicate a fault.

Technical Specification

Weight and Dimensions are approximate. Because we continually strive to improve our products we may change specifications and designs without prior notice.

Installation

Selection of installation equipment
Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing. For the purpose of installation and use, a minimum of 5 cm space shall be preserved around the hole.
Be sure the thickness of the work surface is at least 30mm. Please select heat-resistant work surface material to avoid larger deformation caused by the heat radiation from the hotplate. As shown below:

L(mm)| W(mm)| H(mm)| D(mm)| A(mm)| B(mm)| X(mm)
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
590| 520| 52| 48| 560+5| 490+5| 50 mini

Under any circumstances, make sure the ceramic cooker hob is well ventilated and the air inlet and outlet are not blocked. Ensure the ceramic cooker hob is in a good work state. As shown below
Note: The safety distance between the hotplate and the cupboard above the hotplate should be at least 760mm.

Before you install the hob, make sure that

• the work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with space requirements
•  the work surface is made of a heat-resistant material
• if the hob is installed above an oven, the oven has a built-in cooling fan
• the installation will comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and regulations
• a suitable isolating switch providing full disconnection from the mains power supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted, and positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations
• The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap contact separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules allow for this variation of the requirements)
• the isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the hob installed
• you consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation
• you use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces surrounding the hob.

When you have installed the hob, make sure that

• the power supply cable is not accessible through cupboard doors or drawers
• there is an adequate flow of fresh air from outside the cabinetry to the base of the hob
• if the hob is installed above a drawer or cupboard space, a thermal protection barrier is installed below the base of the hob
• the isolating switch is easily accessible by the customer

Before locating the fixing brackets
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging). Do not apply force onto the controls protruding from the hob.
Fix the hob on the work surface by screwing 4 brackets on the bottom case of the hob (see picture) after installation.

Cautions

1. The ceramic cooker hob must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians.
   We have professionals at your service. Please never conduct the operation by yourself.

2. The ceramic cooker hob shall not be mounted to cooling equipment, dishwashers, and rotary dryers.

3. The ceramic cooker hob shall be installed such that better heat radiation can be ensured to enhance its reliability.

4. The wall and induced heating zone above the work surface shall withstand heat.

5. To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be resistant to heat.

6. A steam cleaner is not to be used.

7. This ceramic can be connected only to a supply with system impedance no more than 0.427 ohms. In case necessary, please consult your supply authority for system impedance information.

Connecting the hob to the mains power supply

The power supply should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, or a single-pole circuit breaker. The method of connection is shown below.

1.  If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, this should be done by an after-sales technician using the proper tools, so as to avoid any accidents.
2. If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply, an omnipolar circuit breaker must be installed with a minimum gap of 3mm between the contacts.
3. The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection has been made and that it complies with safety regulations.
4. The cable must not be bent or compressed. 5. The cable must be checked regularly and only replaced by a properly qualified person.

This appliance is labeled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU regarding electric and electronic appliances (WEEE). The WEEE contains both polluting substances (that can have a negative effect on the environment) and base elements (that can be reused). It is important that the WEEE undergo specific treatments to correctly remove and dispose of the pollutants and recover all the materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that the WEEE do not become an environmental problem; It is essential to follow a few basic rules:
-the WEEE should not be treated as domestic waste;
-the WEEE should be taken to dedicated collection areas managed by the town council or a registered company.
In many countries, domestic collections may be available for large WEEEs. When you buy a new appliance, the old one can be returned to the vendor who must accept it free of charge as a one-off, as long as the appliance is of an equivalent type and has the same functions as the purchased appliance.
