•
•
Always use appropriate cookware.
Do not cook unopened tins of food directly on the hob.
Never put cooking foil or plastic materials on the ceramic surface when the hob is hot. These materials could melt
and cause damage to the hob.
•
This hob (Class 3) has been designed for use only as a cooking appliance. Any other use (e.g. heating rooms) should
be considered incorrect and therefore dangerous.
FOR THOSE WITH HEART PACEMAKERS OR ACTIVE IMPLANTS:
The function of this hob conforms to current electromagnetic interference standards and thus is in total compliance with
legal requirements (2004/108/CE) directives).
To avoid interference between your hob and a pacemaker, your pacemaker must be designed and programmed in
compliance with the regulations that apply to it. As such, CDA guarantee only that our product is compliant.
With regard to the compliance of the pacemaker or any potential incompatibility, you should obtain information from
the manufacturer or your attending physician.
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 even.
Most cookware is compatible with induction cooking. There are two ways to check the suitability of your cookware:
1. Using a magnet to see if the base of the pan is magnetic: if the magnet sticks, then the cookware is compatible.
2. Place the pan on one of the cooking zones switched on to power level 4: if the display remains on, then the
cookware is compatible. If the display flashes, the cookware cannot be used on an induction hob.

Fitting the Hob
Unpacking the hob:
Take care not to lose or mishandle any parts.
Fitting position of the hob:
This appliance must be installed a minimum of 50mm from any back wall and a minimum of 180mm away from any adjacent
vertical surfaces, e.g. a tall cupboard end panel. This may be reduced to 100mm if the adjacent surface is resistant to fire (tiles
or steel, for example). These dimensions are shown in Fig.6.
Ventilation requirements:
This appliance must be installed to allow air to flow freely to the air intake (A in figure 3) and from the air outlet (B in figure
3). Failure to allow sufficient ventilation could cause damage to the hob and constitutes incorrect installation, which is not
covered by the warranty.
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.5). 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. The minimum height of any adjacent units (includ-
ing light pelmets) is 400mm, unless they are manufactured from a material resistant to fire (steel, for example)
Notes:
•
•
Do not position this appliance above a refrigeration unit. The heat generated may cause the refrigeration unit to fail.
This appliance is designed to be installed into cabinet units capable of withstanding temperatures of 65°C or greater
above ambient temperature.
•
If there is no oven to be built in below the hob, an isolation shelf should be fitted to protect the user from high
temperatures. If the hob is to be installed above a working drawer, then a partition should be fitted to protect the
contents and user from the heat generated during use. This should be fitted 100mm below the hob.
Never place perishable foods, cleaning products or flammable items in the cupboard below the appliance.
If an oven is to be installed below the hob, the thermal safety system on the hob will not allow the hob to be used at the
same time as a pyrolytic programme on the oven.
•
•
•
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 a series of small lines. 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).

How to install the hob:
Overall dimensions of the hob:
Worktop cut-out dimensions:
Width: 580mm Depth: 510mm
Width: 560mm Depth: 490mm
1. Make the required hole in the worktop. Before doing this, you must check the instructions supplied with any cooker
hood to ensure that you will have the required clearance. The cut-out (Fig.6) shows a 60mm gap from the wall to
the cut-out edge. The distance from the hob, when fitted, to the back wall is 50mm.
If a splashback/worktop upstand is to be fitted, take this into account when cutting the hole. The minimum distance
that the hob should be positioned away from the rear wall or splashback is 50mm.
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. Do not use silicone type sealant.
