INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are for a specialized installer and are a guide for the installation process, regulations and maintenance in accordance with the law and current standards.

If the built-in oven or any other appliances that produce heat, need to be installed directly underneath the cooking hobs inceramic glass, IT IS NECESSARY THAT THE APPLIANCE (oven) AND THE COOKING HOBS IN CERAMIC GLASS ARE ADEQUATELY ISOLATED, in such a way that the heat generated from the oven, measured on the right hand side of the bottom of the cooking hobs, does not exceed 60°C.

Failure to follow this precaution, could cause a malfunction in the TOUCH CONTROL system.

POSITIONING

The domestic appliance was built in order to be encased on a work surface, the way it is illustrated in the graph (Fig.1). Predispose sealing material (Fig.2) along the whole perimeter (for dimensions of the cut see Fig.1). Lock the domestic appliance into place with 4 supporters, keeping in mind the width of the surface (Fig.4). If the lower part of the appliance after installation, is accessable via the lower part of the furniture, it is necessary to mount a separating panel keeping in mind the distances indicated (Fig.3).

VENTILATION

The distance between the cooktop and built-in kitchen’s furnitures or cooking apparatuses must guarantee sufficient ventilation of the air (Fig.3). Not to use the cooktop if in the oven is in course the pyrolysis process.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Fig.5)

Before making the electrical connections, check that:

• the system ratings meet the ratings indicated on the identification plate fixed on the lower part of the worktop;
• the system is fitted with efficient ground wires in accordance with the laws and current standards.

Grounding is mandatory by law.
If the domestic appliance is not supplied with a cable and/or suitable plug, use material suitable for the absorption value indicated on the identification plate and the operating temperature. If wishing to make a direct connection to the mains, an omnipolar switch must be installed with a minimum 3 mm opening between the contacts and appropriate for the load indicated on the plate and in accordance with current standards (the yellow/green ground conductor must not be disconnected by a switch). When the appliance has been installed, the omnipolar switch must be easily reachable.

INDUCTION COOKING

The fundamental characteristic of the induction system is the direct transference of heat from the generator to the cooking recipient.

Advantages:

• The transference of power takes place only when the recipient is placed on the cooking zone.
• The heat is generated only at the base of the recipient and transferred directly to the food to be cooked.
• Reduced heating time and low consumption of power during the beginning of cooking, allowing a global saving of power.
• The fibreglass top remains cold, the heat felt on the cooking top is that reflected from the base of the recipient.

Cooking recipients
The use of appropriate recipients is an essential factor for induction cooking. Check that your pots are suitable for the induction system. Only ferromagnetic cookware made of the following materials is suitable for induction cooktops:

• Enameled steel
• Cast iron
• Induction-capable cookware of stainless steel.

To determine whether the cookware is suitable, check whether the base of the pot or pan attracts a magnet (Fig.6).
There are other induction-capable pots and pans whose bases are not completely ferromagnetic. To get good cooking results,

we recommend that the dimension of the ferromagnetic area of the cookware match the size of the burner.

We advise recipients having a flat base
(Fig.6A). This way you can use the power optimally.

Do not use recipients with a rough base to avoid scratching the thermal surface of the top.

A very important factor in induction cooking is the dimension of the pot compared to the plate used (Fig.6B). The cooking zones allow the use of recipients with bases of various diameters.

It is, however, preferable to use the appropriate cooking zone for the dimension of the pot.

(see “Technical specifications” chapter)

For this reason, you should choose the cooking zone which is most suitable for the diameter of the cookware you are going to use.

If the symbol appears on the cooking zone display, it means that:

• The cookware used is not suitable for induction cooking.
• The cookware diameter is smaller than the one allowed by the hob.
• No cookware is on the cooking zone.
  For more details about this feature refer to chapter ‘‘Induction cooking”.

• Residual heat
If the temperature of the cooking zone is still high (over 50°) after it has been switched off, the relative display will indicate the symbol ‘‘H’’(residual heat).

The symbol will stay on even when the appliance is switched off and will only switch off when the burn risk in no longer present.

• Power Boost
The use of this function is recommended for heating large quantities of liquids (e.g. water to cook pasta) or food in a very short time.

This program further reduces the cooking time of a certain cooking zone, by bringing the temperature to the maximum heat level for 10 minutes.

At the end of this time frame, the cooking zone heat level will automatically go back to level “9”. To activate this program, switch on the cooking zone and press the [+] key until you reach level ‘‘9’’ then press the [+] key again. The ‘‘P’’ symbol will be shown on the cooking zone display to confirm the activation of the function.
