Before carrying out the connection to the power supply, the voltage rating of the appliance (stamped on the appliance identification plate) must be checked for correspondence to the available mains supply voltage, and the mains electric wiring should be capable of handling the cooktop’s power rating (also indicated on the identification plate). If you have any doubts, call in a qualified technician.NOTE: For connections to the mains power supply, never use adapters, reductions or multiple power points as these may overheat and catch fire. Do not install separate timers.After having installed the appliance, the switched outlet must always be in an accessible position.The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed if the cooktop is correctly and efficiently earthed, always ensure that the earthing is efficient; if you have any doubts call in a licensed electrician to check the system. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage resulting from an installation that has not been correctly earthed.WARNING: If any damage occurs to the power cable during or after installation, it must be replaced immediately by a licensed electrician with a replacement cable from your Service Centre.The cooktops are to be connected to a single-phase 230-240Vac 50 Hz supply. They are earthed via the cable.The mains terminal block is located on the underside of the cooktop and the terminals are accessible by removing the terminal block cover by removing the cover screw. Connect the appliance as shown in the diagram to the right.The appliance is designed for fixed connection to the mains. During installation, an all-pole disconnector should be included inside the supply circuit with a contact opening of at least 3mm (rated 32A, delay functioning type). The power supply cord must not touch against any hot surfaces and must be placed so that its temperature does not exceed 75 °C at any point along its length.IMPORTANT: The appliance must NOT be connected to the mains supply by means of a 10A or 15A plug and socket.
Operating Instructions
Ceramic HeaterThe ceramic heater is controlled by a 6 position knob.The ceramic heater is operated by turning the control knob to the required setting.Near each control, knob is a symbol that indicates the heater that is controlled by that knob. The on/off light on the control panel will show if any of the ceramic heaters are in use.
Residual Heat IndicatorAfter using the hob there will be heat stored in the vitro-ceramic glass called residual heat. If the residual heat level is greater than +60°C, the residual heat indicator will be active for the cooking zone which is above this temperature.If the power supply to the hob is disconnected while the residual heat indicator is on, the warning light will flash when the power is reconnected. The display will flash until the residual heat has decreased or until one of the cooking zones is activated.
Hints and TipsImportant: When ceramic heaters are operated in higher heat settings, the heated areas may be seen switching on and off. This is due to a safety device that prevents the glass from overheating. This is normal at high temperatures, causing no damage to the hob and little delay in cooking times.WARNING:
- Never operate the hob without pans on the cooking zone.
- Use only flat saucepans with a sufficiently thick base.
- Make sure the bottom of the pan is dry before placing it on the hob.
- While the cooking zone is in operation, it is important to ensure that the pan is centred correctly above the zone.
- In order to conserve energy, never use a pan with a different diameter to the hotplate being used.
- Do not use pans with rough bottoms since these can scratch the glass-ceramic surface.
- If possible, always place lids on the pans.
- The temperature of accessible parts may become high while the appliance is operating. Keep children and animals well away from the hob during operation and until it has fully cooled after the operation.
