CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
Ensure that the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance operation; never use steam cleaning equipment – risk of electric shock.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive products, chlorine-based cleaners, or pan scourers.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Make the most of your hot plate’s residual heat by switching it off a few minutes before you finish cooking. The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate completely; a container that is smaller than the hot plate will cause energy to be wasted.
Cover your pots and pans with tight-fitting lids while cooking and use as little water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption.
Use only flat-bottomed pots and pans.

NOTE
People with a pacemaker or similar medical device should take care when standing near this cooktop while it is on. The electromagnetic field may affect the pacemaker or similar device. Consult your doctor, or the manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device for additional information about its effects on the electromagnetic fields of the cooktop.

INSTALLATIONS

The appliance must be installed and connected according to current regulations. After unpacking the appliance, ensure there is no visible damage. If it has been damaged during transit, DO NOT USE it, contact the “seller/ dealer/ Whirlpool After-Sales Service” immediately.

SELECTION OF INSTALLATION EQUIPMENT

Cut out the work surface according to the sizes shown in the drawing.
For 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.

INSTALLING THE FOAM GASKET
Before inserting the cooktop into the cut-out of the kitchen worktop, the supplied foam gasket (in a plastic bag) must be attached to the bottom side of the ceramic glass. Do not install the cooktop without the foam gasket.

The gasket should be attached to the cooktop in the following method:

Remove the protective film from the gasket.
Attach the gasket to the bottom side of the glass, next to the edge.
The gasket must be attached along the entire length of the glass edge and should not overlap at the corners.
When installing the gasket, make sure that the glass does not come into contact with any sharp objects.

FIX CLIPS TO COOKT OP
The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging). Do not apply force onto the controls protruding from the cooktop. There is one easy-fit kit package for each cooktop, including fixing clips and screws (total 2pcs of clips and 2pcs of screws). Insert the fixing clips into the fixing holes on the 2 sides of the housing. Fix the clip to the housing with the screw, after which insert the cooktop to the cabinet/work surface.

FIX COOKTOP TO CABINET
Insert the cooktop into the cabinet/work surface as below diagrams and the mounted clips on the sides can secure your cooktop sturdily.

CONNECTION THE COOKTOP TO THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY

The power supply should be connected in compliance with the relevant standard, or a single-pole circuit breaker. The appliance has a large power rating and must be connected to electricity by a Qualified Electrician.

Notes:

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

Cautions

The cooktop must be installed by qualified personnel or technicians. Please never conduct the operation by yourself.
The ceramic cooktop shall not be mounted to any cooling equipment, dishwashers, or rotary dryers.
The ceramic cooktop shall be installed such that better heat radiation can be ensured to enhance its reliability.
The wall and induced heating zone above the work surface shall withstand heat.
To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be heat resistant.
A steam cleaner is not to be used.
