Appliance complies with European Directives 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC, replaced by 2006/95/EC and 2004/108/EC, and subsequent amendments. 1 GB INSTALLATION Installing a domestic appliance can be a complicated operation which if not carried out correctly, can seriously affect consumer safety. It is for this reason that the task should be undertaken by a professionally qualified person who will carry it out in accordance with the technical regulations in force. In the event that this advice is ignored and the installation is carried out by an unqualified person, the manufacturer declines all responsibility for any technical failure of the product whether or not it results in damage to goods or injury to individuals. BUILT-IN The furniture in which your hob will be installed and all adjacent furniture, should be made from materials that can withstand high temperatures. In addition, all decorative laminates should be fixed with heat-resistant glue. Installation: · A watertight seal is supplied with the hob. Before fitting: - turn the hob upside down, with the glass surface facing downwards. Make sure the glass is protected. - fit the seal round the hob. - make sure that it is correctly fitted to avoid any leakage into the supporting cabinet. · Leave a gap of at least 5 cm between the appliance and the vertical sides of the adjacent furniture. · If, when installing the hob, the lower hob face is adjacent to an area normally accessible when handling or cleaning, fit a partition 1 cm below the base of the hob to avoid any risk of scorching or damage. in accordance with the following colours/codes: BLUE BROWN YELLOW-GREEN - NEUTRAL (N) - LIVE (L) - EARTH ( ) · MODEL WITH PLUG The hob is fitted with a power supply cable with plug which allow it to be connected only to a power supply of 230 V between phases or between phase and neutral : connect to a 25 Amp socket. · MODEL WITHOUT PLUG The hob is fitted with a power supply cord which allows it to be connected only to a power supply of 220-240 V between phases or between phase and neutral. · Connect to a socket, to choose the correct fuse, you must refer on the table. It is however possible to connect the hob to : . Three phase 220-240 V3~ . Three phase 380-415 V2N~ To proceed to the new connection, you must adhere the following instructions. · Before making the connection, make sure that the installation is protected by a suitable fuse, see table, and that it is fitted with wires of a large enough section to supply the appliance normally. · Turn over the hob, glass side against the work top, taking care to protect the glass. · Open the cover in the following sequence: 1 2 3 Hob Seal Accessible space Sp da 25 a 45 mm min 10 mm min 15 cm min 5,5 cm min 70 cm 50 mm 10 mm mini Opening 500 X 50 Opening 500 X 10 It is forbidden to fit the hob above a nonventilated oven ELECTRICAL CONNECTION "The installation must conform to the standard directives." The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage that may be caused by unsuitable or unreasonable use. Warning : · Always check before any electrical operation, the supply tension shown on the electricity meter, the adjustment of the circuitbreaker, the continuity of the connection to earth to the installation and that the fuse is suitable. · The electrical connection to the installation should be made via a socket with a plug with earth, or via an omnipole cut-out switch with an opening gap of at least 3 mm. If the appliance has a socket outlet, it must be installed so that the socket outlet is accessible. · The yellow/green wire of the power supply cable must be connected to the earth of both power supply and appliance terminals. · The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any accidents resulting from the use of an appliance which is not connected to earth, or with a faulty earth connection continuity. · Any queries regarding the power supply cord should be referred to After Sales Service or a qualified technician, connect the wire · unscrew the cable clamp "1", · find the two tabs located on the sides, · put the blade of a flat screw-driver in front of each tab "2" e "3", push in and press, remove the cover. To release the power supplying cord. · remove the screws retaining the terminal block which contains the shunt bars and the conductors of the supply cord, · Pull out the supply cord. · Operations to be carried out to make a new connection : - Choose the power supply cable in accordance with the recommendations in the table. - Pass the power supply cable into the clamp. - Strip the end of each conductor of the SHUNT supply cord on a 10 mm length, by taking in account the requested length of the cord for the connection to the terminal block. - According to the installation and with the help of shunt bars which you should have recovered in the first operation, fix the conductor as shown on the chart. - Fix the cover. - Screw the cable clamp. Note: make sure the terminal board screws are tight. CONNECTION TO THE TERMINALS ON THE TERMINAL BLOCK: Monophase 220-240 V~ Two phases 220-240 V2~ Three phases 220-240 V3~ Three phases 380-415 V2N~ Ph = Phase N = Neutral T = Earth 2 GB HOB COOKWARE ADVICE Using good quality cookware is critical for setting the best performance from your hob. · After powering up the hob, wait 8 seconds to activate the electronic controls. - Press the button , for 3 seconds. Electronic control of the hob is activated. In each display zone the heat level is displayed and the control LED blinks. - After some seconds whithout use, the electronic control goes off and the starting operation has to be repeated. · STARTING A COOKING ZONE · Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and thick bases : using this type of cookware will prevent hot spots that cause food to stick. Thick metal pots and pans will provide an even distribution of heat. · Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry : when filling pans with liquid or using one that has been stored in the refrigerator, ensure that the base of the pan is completely dry before placing it on the hob. This will help to avoid staining the hob. · Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely cover the surface unit : the size of the pan should be no smaller than the heating area. If it is slightly wider the energy will be used at its maximum efficiency. THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE - The following information will help you to choose cookware which will give good performance. Stainless Steel : highly recommended. Especially good with a sandwich clad base. The sandwich base combines the benefits of stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat distribution). Aluminium : heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity. Aluminium residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium should not be used. Cast Iron : usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface. Copper Bottom / stoneware: heavy weight recommended. Good performance, but copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the hob is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the hob. Porcelain/enamel : Good perfomance only with a thiny smooth, flat base. Glass-ceramic : not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch the surface. HGK 6042 - HGK 7554 HGK 6040 - Press the selection button of the required cooking zone. In the display zone, the control LED is on steady.
