Important • Do not use the hob if the glass surface is cracked or damaged to prevent the risk of electric shock. Disconnect it from the power supply. • Ensure that the power cable of a connected electrical appliance near the hob is not in contact with the cooking zones.
Cooking on Induction The principle of induction cooking is based on magnetic effect. When you put your cookware on an induction zone and switch it on, the electronic boards in the hob produce induced currents in the base of the cookware and instantly raise its temperature. This heat is then transferred to the food inside the cookware. The best cookware to use with induction cooking has thick flat bases, as the heat will be better distributed so cooking more evenly.

Fitting the Hob Unpacking the hob: Take care not to lose or mishandle any parts. Ventilation requirements: This appliance must be installed to allow air to flow freely to the air intake and from the air outlet. An air gap of 20mm is recommended immediately below the hob. Failure to allow sufficient ventilation could cause damage to the hob and constitutes incorrect installation, which is not covered by the warranty (Fig 5).
If fitting a cooker hood above the hob: If a cooker hood is to be installed above the hob, the height of the hood above the hob must be at least 600mm (650mm is recommended) (Fig.6). If the instructions supplied with the hood dictate that the hood must be installed at a height greater than 600mm, then that height is the minimum required. Wall furniture requirements: The minimum height of any cabinet immediately above the hob is 900mm.
Notes: • The hob is equipped with an anti-overheating safety device that can be activated if the hob is installed over an oven that is not sufficiently ventilated. In the event that this occurs, the control panel will show E2, ER21 or ER40. We recommend that you increase the ventilation of the hob by creating an opening in the side of the cabinet (8 cm x 5 cm). • E nsure that the top rail is removed prior to installation, and that no unit cross member is blocking the air outlets.

The distance from the hob, when fitted, to the back wall is 50mm. Fig.6 2. Fix the foam seal underneath the appliance by following the outline of the worktop upon which the hob will rest. This ensures an airtight seal with the worktop.
