INDUCTION VITROCERAMIC HOB
User instructions
GENERAL
Carefully read the contents of this leaflet since it provides
important instructions regarding safety of installation, use and
maintenance.
Keep the leaflet for possible future consultation. All the
operations relating to installation (electrical connections) must
be carried out by specialised personnel in accordance with
current regulations.
INDUCTION
Functioning:
The fundamental characteristic of the induction system is
the direct transfer of heat from the generator to the cooking
recipient.
Advantages:
- The transfer 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, allow 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 recipients are suitable for
the induction system.
The recipients must contain iron. You can check whether
the material of the recipient is magnetic with a simple magnet
(Fig.7). The use of recipients in cast iron, enamelled steel or
special steel for induction is recommended.
In order to obtain the best performance from the cooking top:
- use recipients having a flat base (Fig.8A).
- use the cooking area appropriate for the diameter of the
recipient in order to make use the power optimally (Fig.8B).
- do not use recipients with a rough base to avoid scratching the
thermal surface of the top.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This apparatus is not suitable for use by children or people who
need supervision.
For safety reasons, never place large ferromagnetic objects (e.g.
oven plates for cakes) on the cooking area of the fibreglass top.
People carrying pacemakers are advised to consult a doctor
before using the induction cooking areas.
Metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons or lids must not
be placed on the surface of the cooking top because they can
become hot.
IMPORTANT: After use, switch the cooking top off using the
control device.
IMPORTANT:
- Avoid spilling liquid, therefore reduce the heat when boiling
or heating liquids.
- Do not leave the heating elements on without recipients or
with empty recipients.
- When you have finished cooking, switch off the relevant
heating element using the control indicated below.
WARNING
If the surface of the hob is cracked, turn off the appliance and
disconnect it from the electrical mains in order to prevent
any possible electric shocks.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions are for a specialized installer and are a guide
for installation, adjustments and maintenance in compliance
with the law and current standards.
To guarantee correct functioning of the appliance the
indications given below must be followed:
- the surface must be in heat-resistant material
- if a cooking surface is to beinstalled above an oven, this must
have a forced-ventilation cooling system.
- do not install the cooking surface above dishwashers: if this is
absolutely necessary, place a watertight element between the
two appliances.
The failure to comply with the above-mentioned
precautions could lead to incorrect functioning of
the appliance.
POSITIONING
The domestic appliance was built in order to be enclosed in a
work surface, as illustrated in the figure (Fig.1). Place sealing
material (Fig.4) along the whole perimeter (for dimensions of
the cut see Fig.1). Block the domestic appliance into place with
4 supports, keeping the thickness of the surface in mind (Fig.2).
If the lower part of the appliance is accessable after installation,
a separating panel must be mounted respecting the distances
indicated (Fig.3). This is not necessary if an oven is installed
underneath the induction hob.
VENTILATION (Fig.5)
The distance between the cooking top and the kitchen furniture
or bult-in appliances must be such to guarantee sufficient
ventilation and discharge of the air (Fig.3).
Do not obstruct the front cooling vents in order to prevent
malfunctioning of the appliance (Fig.5).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Fig.6)
Before making the electrical connections, check that:
- the earth wire is 2 cm longer than the other cables;
- the system ratings meet the ratings indicated on the
identification plate fixed onto the lower part of the worktop;
- the system is fitted with efficient earth system in compliance
with the laws and current standards.
Earthing 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 a direct connection to the mains is required, an omnipolar
switch must be installed, with a minimum 3 mm opening,
between the contacts and suitable for the load indicated on the
plate and in compliance with current standards (the yellow/
green earth wire must not be interrupted by a switch).
When the appliance has been installed, the omnipolar switch
must be easily reachable.
USE AND MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Remove any residues of food and drops of grease from the
cooking surface by using the special scraper supplied on
request (Fig.10).
Clean the heated area as thoroughly as possible using suitable
products, and a cloth/paper, then rinse with water and dry with
a clean cloth.
Using the special scraper, immediately remove any fragments
