The control panel consists of several touch keys with specific functions:

Over-Temperature Protection
A temperature sensor equipped can monitor the temperature inside the Induction hob. When an excessive temperature is monitored, the Induction hob will stop operation automatically.

Detection of Small Articles
When an unsuitable size or non-magnetic pan (e.g. aluminium), or some other small item (e.g. knife, fork, key) has been left on the hob, the hob automatically go on to standby in 1 minute. The fan will keep cooling down the induction hob for a further 1 minute.

Auto shutdown protection
Auto shut down is a safety protection function for your induction hob. It shuts down automatically if ever you forget to turn off your cooking. The default working times for various power levels are shown in the below table:

When the pot is removed, the induction hob can stop heating immediately and the hob automatically switch off after 2 minutes.

Note: People with a heart pace maker should consult with their doctor before using this unit.

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 30 mm. Please select heat-resistant work surface material to avoid larger deformation caused by the heat radiation from the hotplate.

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

The required clearances for installation are as follows:

Before you install the hob, make sure that:

• The work surface is square and level, and no structural members interfere with the 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 main power supply is incorporated in the permanent wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulations. The isolation 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 with the local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding the 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 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.

1. Cut out the worktop to the supplied dimensions with suitable equipment. Seal the cut edge of the worktop using silicone PTFE and allow it to dry prior to fitting the hob.

2. Stretch out the supplied seal along the underside edge of the hob, ensuring the ends overlap.

3. Do not use adhesive to fix the hob into the worktop. Once the seal is fitted, position the hob into the cutout in the worktop. Apply gentle downwards pressure onto the hob to push it into the worktop, ensuring a good seal around the outer edge.

Note: The unit should be placed on a stable, smooth surface (use the packaging). Do not apply force onto the controls protruding from the hob.

This hob must be connected to the mains power supply only by a suitably qualified person. Before connecting the hob to the mains power supply, check that:

1. The domestic wiring system is suitable for the power drawn by the hob.

2. The voltage corresponds to the value given in the rating plate.

3. The power supply cable sections can withstand the load specified on the rating plate.

To connect the hob to the mains power supply, do not use adapters, reducers, or branching devices, as they can cause overheating and fire.

The power supply cable must not touch any hot parts and must be positioned so that its temperature will not exceed 75°C at any point.

Important:

• If the cable is damaged or needs replacing, the operation must be carried out by the after-sale agent with dedicated tools to avoid any accidents.

• If the appliance is being connected directly to the mains supply, an omni polar 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 that it complies with safety regulations.

• The cable must not be bent or compressed.

• The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only.

• 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:

1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.

2. If the ‘U’ symbol 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 a smaller pot efficiency could be less than expected. A pot less than 140 mm could be undetected by the hob. Always centre your pan on the cooking zone.

Always lift pans off the ceramic hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the glass.

1. Touch the ON/OFF control for 3 seconds. After power on, the buzzer beeps once, all displays show “ – “, indicating that the induction hob has entered the state of standby mode.

2. Place a suitable pan on the cooking zone that you wish to use. Make sure the bottom of the pan and the surface of the cooking zone are clean and dry.

3. According to the heating zone where the pan is placed, press a relevant zone selection key (A). The symbol ‘0’ will stay fully lit.

4. Select the power level by pressing the ‘+’ or ‘-‘ key. The power level will start at 0. Pressing the “+” will count up the power levels from 0 to 9. Pressing the “-” key will take the power straight from 9 to 0.

If you do not choose a heat setting within 1 minute, the induction hob will automatically switch off. You will need to start again at step 2.

This means that:

• you have not placed a pan on the correct cooking zone or,

• the pan you’re using is not suitable for induction cooking or,

• the pan is too small or not properly centred on the cooking zone.

No heating takes place unless there is a suitable pan on the cooking zone. The display will automatically turn off after 1 minute if no suitable pan is placed on it.

1. Touch the relevant zone select key (A) that you wish to switch off.

2. Press the “-” key to decrease the power to the “0” level, or press the “+” and “-” at the same time, the power level will decrease to 0 straight away.

3. Beware of hot surfaces. “H” will show which cooking zone is hot to touch. It will disappear when the surface has cooled down to a safe temperature. It can also be used as an energy-saving function if you want to heat further pans; use the hotplate that is still hot.

You can lock the controls to prevent unintended use (for example children accidentally turning the cooking zones on). When the controls are locked, all the controls except the ON/OFF control are disabled.

To lock the controls:
Touch the keylock control for 3 seconds. The timer indicator will show “Lo “.
