[. . . ] All parts which ensure the safe operation of the appliance must not be removable without the aid of a tool. Wire connection :yellow/green ; N: the two blue wires together L1: black L2: brown :yellow/green ; N1: blue N2: blue L1: black L2: brown Connecting the electricity supply cable to the mains If the appliance is being connected directly to the electricity mains an omnipolar switch must be installed with a minimum opening of 3 mm between contacts. The installer must ensure that the correct electrical connection Has been made and that it is fully compliant with safety regulations. Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make sure that: · The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located on the appliance itself. [. . . ] If the front left-hand cooking zone is set to maximum (level 9), the rear right-hand cooking zone cannot be set any higher than level 4. Information relating to the amount of energy consumed is provided by the indicator lights which are illuminated when each corresponding plate has reached its maximum power output. When all the indicator lights corresponding to the active hotplates are illuminated, if you wish to increase the power level of one of the hotplates you will have to reduce the power level of another of the active hotplates first. Caused by electromagnetic fields (induction); can be more or less intense depending on the material making up the bottom of the pot, and decreases as the pot dimensions increase. ⷠLoud whistle: heard when two induction elements of the same group function simultaneously at maximum power and/or when the booster function is set on the larger element while the other is auto-adjusted. Noise is reduced by decreasing the power level of the autoadjusted induction element; pot bottom layers made of different kinds of materials are among the main causes of this noise. ⷠFan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob functions correctly and to safeguard the electronic unit from possible overheating. The fan functions at maximum power when the large induction element is at maximum power or when the booster function is on; in all other cases, it works at average power depending on the temperature detected. Furthermore, the fan may continue to work even after switching the hob off, if the temperature detected is high. The types of noise listed above are due to induction technology and are not necessarily operational faults. Of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power levels and timer minutes. Residual heat indicators Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat indicator. This indicator signals which cooking zones are , still at a high temperature. It is possible, for example, to keep a dish warm or melt butter or chocolate. The cooking zone cools, the power display will show display switches off when the cooking zone has cooled sufficiently. Safety switch The appliance has a safety switch which automatically switches the cooking zones off after they have been in operation for a certain amount of time at a particular power level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the display shows "0". 0 For example: the right rear hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after 5 hours of continuous operation, while the front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 8 hours. Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the cooking zone. Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat. Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both the cooking zones and the cookware. ⷠAvoid using the same cookware which has been used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly. [. . . ] Stainless steel frame (only in models with outer frame) Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which has been left on the surface for a long time, or by cleaning products containing phosphorus. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface well and dry it thoroughly. Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is Example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair. Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on Do not use any cleaning or degreasing products which are not suitable for use with aluminium. [. . . ]
