• The work surface is heat-resistant, square, and level and no structural members interfere with space requirements.
• If the cooktop is installed above an oven, the oven should have a built-in cooling fan. The two appliances should be connected to the electrical supply with independent connections.
• The cooktop cannot be installed directly above cooling equipment, dishwasher, or clothes dryers as the humidity may damage the cooktop’s electronic system.
• There is adequate airflow for the cooktop to fully function – the base of the cooktop must have direct unrestricted ventilation to the room where the cooktop is installed.
• To use heat-resistant and easy-to-clean finishes (such as ceramic tiles) for the wall surfaces surrounding 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 installation shall comply with all clearance requirements and applicable standards and regulations.
• An approved 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 isolating switch will be easily accessible to the customer with the hob installed.
• To consult local building authorities and by-laws if in doubt regarding installation.

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. When the cooking zone is selected, the electromagnetic circuit produces induced currents that instantly heat the bottom of the cookware which then transfers heat directly to the food. Cooking takes place with hardly any energy loss between the induction hob and food. The glass becomes hot only when the cookware eventually heats it.

The induction hob operates only if a correct pan with the right features and dimensions is placed in the cooking zone

• Only use cookware with a base suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol “ ” on the packaging or at the bottom of the pan.
• Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable:
  • Pure stainless steel
  • Aluminum, or copper without a magnetic base
  • Glass
  • Wood
  • Porcelain
  • Ceramic
  • Earthenware
• To check if the cookware is suitable for induction.
• Use a magnet. Put the magnet at the bottom of the base and if the magnet sticks, the cookware is suitable.

• If you do not have a magnet, put some water in the cookware you want to check and place it in the cooking zone. If the symbol “does not appear on the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
• The cooking zone will not operate if the cookware diameter is too small (the symbol “ ” will appear on the display. Follow the recommended cookware diameter given in the following table to correctly use the cooking zone.

• If the material of the bottom of the cookware contains aluminum, the ferromagnetic area will also be reduced. This may mean that the cookware will not become hot enough or even be detected.

If the auto-ignition does not work, check if your hob has battery ignition and make sure that the battery DC 1.5V (Size D) installed at the bottom of the appliances, is not flat and has been installed correctly.

• Cleaning and maintenance should be carried out after the appliance has turned cold especially when cleaning the burner and the cast iron support.
• Avoid leaving alkaline or acid substances (lemon juice, vinegar, etc. ) on the surfaces.
• Avoid using acid or chlorine-based cleaning products.
• Special care should be taken around the underneath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be touched and may contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.

CAST IRON PARTS
All of the cast iron parts must be washed only with a sponge and soapy water or with non-abrasive products.

PAINTED PARTS AND SILKSCREEN PRINTED SURFACES
Clean using an appropriate product. Always dry thoroughly. These parts must be cleaned very carefully to avoid scratching and abrasion.

BURNERS AND PAN SUPPORT
These parts can be removed and cleaned with appropriate products.

Cleaning the Wok Burner
The burner crown must always be kept clean. When cleaning the burners, remove the burner caps and use a cotton bud, toothbrush, or some other item to clean out any incrustations or dirt. This procedure is necessary to ensure the burner functions correctly. Clean the burner caps using a needle or toothbrush to remove the dirt and carbon blocking the burner holes.

After cleaning, the burners and the caps must be well dried and put back correctly. It is very important to check that the burner flame distributor F, burner cap A, and cap B have been correctly positioned. Failure to do so can cause serious problems.

• The burner cap A must be entered in their lodgment as shown by the arrow. The burner correctly positioned must not rotate.
• Check that the ignition electrode “S” is always clean to ensure trouble-free sparking.
• Check that the probe or thermocouple “T” is always clean to ensure the correct operation of the safety valves.
• Both the ignition electrode and thermocouple must be very carefully cleaned.
