IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
14. Utensil Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent  
Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns, and spillage due to unintentional  
contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is  
turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.  
15. Do not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions  
and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock.  
Contact a qualified technician immediately.  
16. Clean Cook-Top With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on  
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce  
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.  
CAUTION  
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above or around the cooktop -  
children climbing on the cooktop to reach items, could be seriously injured.

Before Installation  
If you are receiving the unit from a  
transportation company, it is customer’s  
obligation to inspect thepackage and note  
any damage on the delivery receipt. After  
delivery, have your induction cooktop  
carefully unpacked, and again check forany  
visible damage. If you find any damage onthe  
unit at this point, immediately inform your  
dealer or distributor. Although the  
responsibility for shipping lies with the  
carrier, your dealer/ distributor will assist you  
with your claim.  
If the unit is not supposed to be installed for  
some time, you should keep it in its original  
packaging, stored in a dry and safe place.  
Read through the section of this manual  
which pertains to installation, and make sure  
that all of the requirements can be provided  
or are already provided. Ensure that your  
electric power supply is correct.  
Before you install the unit, you should take a  
moment to write down the information from  
your nameplate and fill-out the table on page  
19, for future after-sale servicing needs. This  
information will be required every time you  
call for any service on your unit.

/ INSTALLATION  
To install the cooktop, cut out a rectangular  
opening in the counter as shown on the  
drawing and table below. Also, ensure that  
you have a minimum of 10 mm (3/8”) of  
space in the back of the unit, between the  
rim and backsplash on your counter (or wall  
if no backsplash) for ventilation.  
A self-adhesive gasket is supplied with your  
unit. Before setting the cooktop in place  
install this gasket by sticking it underneath  
the rim.  
IApply the gasket only along the front rim  
and on both sides. Do not put this gasket on  
the rim in the back. This gasket will prevent  
most of the spills from entering the cabinet  
below and will keep the unit in place. Once  
the gasket is installed, place the cooktop in  
the opening, and lay it on the rim. Do this  
carefully - do not drop the unit into the cut-  
out. Make sure that the unit is sitting  
properly on its rim all around the perimeter.  
f your counter is produced from porous materials which tend to swell if in contact  
with humidity and water, to better protect the cut-out, use proper sealants on the  
edge which would prevent any penetration of humidity and water.  
Chamfer all exposed edges of decorative laminates to prevent further chipping.  
Radius corners of the cut-out and file them to ensure smooth edges and prevent  
corner cracking.  
Rough edges and inside corners which are not rounded as well as forced fits can  
contribute to cracking of counter top laminate.

adjacent vertical surfaces (backsplash,  
wall, high cabinets etc.). This space is  
needed for the unit to breath properly.  
During cooking, built-in fan inside the  
cooktop will operate constantly to keep the  
internal components cool. The air intake is  
on the bottom of the cooktop box, and the  
warm air exhaust is located on the back of  
the rim, as shown on the schematic. If the air  
intake or the exhaust is obstructed, the  
cooktop safeties will either diminish the  
power output or shut down the unit.  
If a downdraft ventilation system is used,  
a minimum of 6 mm (1/4”) of clearance  
is required between the rear edge of the  
cooktop and the downdraft snorkel.  
Leave a minimum of 50 mm [2”]  
underneath the unit for the air intake.  
We suggest that you should periodically  
check that there are no objects (dust, paper,  
Your cook-top must always breath adequately. Make sure that the air inlet and its  
exhaust are not obstructed.  
The unit must not be installed above a washing machine, a refrigerator or a deep-  
freezer box  
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet  
storage space located above the ssurface units sshould be avoided.  
The unit must be installed such that it can be pulled without difficulty out of the cut-out  
for servicing or cleaning.  
Never glue, silicone or wedge the unit inside its cut-out.

Safety Precautions - Read before operating your cooktop  
Your induction-cooking unit has been  
designed for residential use and food  
preparation, and all of the safety parameters  
have been rectified accordingly.  
will disable the heating section of the unit.  
This occurrence is called ‘long press’ and  
when it happens “-” signs will appear on  
power displays. The unit will act the same if  
there is an accumulation of some liquid on  
the keypad area, or if a damp cloth is left  
sitting on the keypad. The section will  
become operational again once the spill or  
the object/hand is removed, and the  
element turned back on.  
The unit incorporates numerous safety  
devices and controls, and a few devices will  
be mentioned here.  
- A number of sensors monitor temperature  
of internal components. If any of these  
sensors senses that the component  
temperature is above the limit, the power  
output of the unit will automatically be  
reduced, allowing the component to cool  
down. Once this is achieved, the unit will  
continue to operate normally at the output  
level set initially by the operator.  
In an effort of constantly improving our  
products, we reserve the right to make any  
changes to internal components, as well as,  
to make any(cosmetic) modifications on the  
outside frame.  
This unit does not contain any asbestos or  
asbestos based components.  
- Each induction coil is equipped with a  
sensor which is continuously monitoring the  
temperature of the bottom of the pan to  
prevent the pan from overheating.  
This unit has been tested and certified  
under FCC part 15 and CFR Title 47, Part 18,  
for electromagnetic interference.  
- Each induction coil is equipped with a pan  
sensing device. This device will not allow the  
heating element to turn on unless it senses  
a cooking utensil on the coil covering  
enough surface area. The indication that the  
coil is not running is the flashing of the  
digital display. Once the pan is put properly  
on the coil, the digital display will become  
steady. Note that a small object such as a  
fork, a spoon, a piece of jewelry, etc. will not  
be mistaken for a cooking utensil, and it will  
not trigger this sensor. Moreover, this device  
will distinguish between cooking utensils  
which are and are not suitable for induction  
cooking. If a cooking utensil which is not  
suitable for induction cooking is placed on a  
coil there will be no power output on the  
coil.  
The users with heart pacemakers must  
consult with the pacemaker manufacturer  
prior to using this cooktop which  
incorporates induction heating source.  
- If an operator leans on the keypad by  
chance for more then ten seconds, controls  
If a crack appears in the glass surface, disconnect the unit immediately to avoid any risk  
of electric shock. If the unit is connected directly to supply inside a junction box, then  
disconnect its breaker, or remove fuses manually.  
Do not re-use your cooktop until the glass top is changed.  
When cooking never use aluminum foil and never place products wrapped in aluminum foil, nor  
products deep-frozen in aluminum packs on the hob. Aluminum foil could melt and damage  
vitroceramic glass surface beyond repair.

The principle of induction  
When an induction element - also called: ‘a  
heating zone’, or simply: ‘a coil’ - is switched  
on, the appropriate utensil is used, and a desi-  
red level of heating power selected, the elec-  
tronic circuit unit (‘induction generator’ or ‘in-  
verter’) powers up the induction coil which  
creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field  
continuously changes in terms of frequency  
and intensity, and this creates induced cur-  
rents in the bottom of the utensil and ultimate-  
ly results in heat. The heat is transferred di-  
rectly to the food being cooked.

Induction coil  
Thus, induction heat makes the utensil a di-  
rect source of heat, featuring high level of effi-  
ciency with extremely low energy loss and un-  
paralleled heating level control.  
Inverter  
Induced currents  
- if the utensil is fully removed from the coil,  
the power output will be instantaneously redu-  
ced to ‘0’, and, eventually, the controls will  
turn the element off after a minute, unless the  
utensil is returned back onto the coil.  
With induction cooking there is very little ‘hea-  
ting inertia’. Induction cooking elements do  
not incorporate a heat generating element -  
unlike convectional electric rings, halogen or  
radiant elements etc. - therefore, heat levels  
can be changed very quickly.  
When compared to the other methods of co-  
oking, induction cooking has a very low level  
of ambient heat, thus makes cooking more  
pleasurable, with a reduced need for ventila-  
tion.  
Energy efficiency for induction is within range  
of 90-95%, compared with 55-65% for conven-  
tional and radiant element, or 45% - 55% for  
gas fueled burners. The energy efficiency  
contributes to substantial energy savings,  
both beneficial to the owner as well as the en-  
vironment.  
Finally, the vitroceramic glass as a cooking  
surface barely becomes hot and this makes  
cleaning much easier.  
Induction cooking elements are sensitive to  
the utensil type being used :  
- if there is no utensil placed on the coil, or if  
the utensil is not of induction grade, there will  
be no power emitted by the coil;  
- if the utensil is placed partially on the coil, or  
if it is smaller than the coil, the internal sen-  
sors will reduce power to the coil; The Princi-  
ple of Induction  
For a proper choice of utensils, please refer to “Utensils for Your Induction”  
When using induction elements, some utensils may produce  
faint humming sound. This is a normal occurrence - the noise  
is a result of vibrations caused by induced currents.

Tip  
For simultaneous use, favour the use  
of cooking zones located on opposite sides  
of the hob.  
On the same side, the use of a cooking  
zone at maximum power results in an  
automatic limitation of the other cooking  
zone on that side, which is indicated in the

POWER SHARING  
WHICH COOKING ZONE  
SHOULD YOU USE BASED ON  
YOUR COOKWARE?  
Under the pretense that only one zone is  
used with an adequate utensil covering the  
whole surface of the coil, and that power on  
the zone is adjusted to the maximum (‘12’):  
- the maximum power output of 22 cm (9”)  
heating zone is 2.8 kW;  
- the maximum power output of 16 cm (6  
1/2”) heating zone is 2.2 kW.  
If only one coil is employed, it can be  
utilized at its maximum power, but as soon  
as the other coil is turned on, the controls  
adjust the power on both coils  
automatically for ‘power sharing’. This  
power sharing is administered by unit’s  
microprocessors, which will alternate  
power between the two elements. There are  
two factors affecting improved power  
sharing on your cooktops.  
A
Cooking  
zone  
Diameter A  
16 cm (6 1/2”)  
22 cm (9 )  
28 cm (11”)  
10 ..... 18 cm (4..7”)  
18 ..... 24 cm (7..9 1/2”)  
12 ..... 32 cm (5..13 )  
The first is the application of an improved  
technology for power sharing - not using  
common relays, but rather semiconductors  
which makes power sharing quicker, thus  
more efficient. The second factor is that,  
when in a power-sharing mode, two zones  
can share full, 3.6 kW, power output of the  
inverter.  
Tip  
To check the suitability of your  
cookware:  
Place the vessel on a cooking zone at  
power level 4.  
If the display remains on, your cookware is  
compatible.  
If the display flashes, your cookware cannot  
be used with induction cooking.  
You can also use a magnet to test the  
cookware.  
If a magnet "sticks" to the bottom of the  
cookware, it is compatible with induction.  
Note that the controls will not allow both  
zones to operate at full power, and the  
power will be adjusted automatically - e.g. if  
the power on one zone is adjusted to a  
maximum, and the other zone is turned on  
and power level also adjusted to its  
maximum, the power level on the first zone  
will automatically become lower. This  
change will be visible on digital displays.  
The controls are set in such a manner that  
the last instruction (command) given to an  
element is always a priority.

Utensils for Your Induction  
induction cooking, but most manufacturers  
make such utensils in layers for better heat  
distribution, and a good number of such  
pots and pans can be used with induction.  
To make sure if a stainless steel utensil can  
be used perform the utensil test.  
Induced current can be created only in  
materials which have magnetic properties.  
Thus, utensils for use with an induction unit  
must be made from a ferromagnetic material  
or have inserts with magnetic properties.  
Your household may already have cookware  
suitable for induction cooking, and you may  
test any utensil with an induction element.  
Incorporated controls are able to recognize  
a suitable utensil. To perform a utensil test:  
Use of utensils with enameled coated base  
will prevent the glass top of your unit from  
getting scratched.  
Pots and pans which do not have a flat  
bottom still may be used, however they  
should not be overly deformed.  
- Turn an element on and adjust power to any  
level - you will notice that the digital power  
display is flashing.  
- Place your utensil on the coil. If the piece  
being tested is suitable for induction  
cooking, the display will become steady.  
However, if it keeps flashing, the utensil  
cannot be used on your induction unit.  
- If the utensil is empty, remove it from the  
coil immediately after you have done test and  
turn the element OFF.  
Cookware made from glass, ceramic,  
earthenware, aluminum and copper pots and  
pans and non-magnetic stainless steel  
cookware are not suitable for induction  
cooking.  
Matching Pots & Pans with Coils, etc.  
Small elements,16 cm (6 1/2”), are best  
utilized:  
- With small utensils - but normally not  
smaller then 10 cm (4”);  
Another simple test to determine if a piece of  
cookware can be used on an induction  
cooktop is the ‘magnet test’. Use a magnet  
and place it on the utensil. If the magnet  
sticks to it, the piece will work with  
induction.  
- For slow cooking and simmering (sauces,  
creams, etc.);  
- For cooking small quantities of food.  
Large elements, 22 cm (9”), are primarily  
designed for day-to-day cooking needs and  
most commonly used pans - 18 to 25 cm (7  
to 9 1/2”) in diameter.  
Utensils compatible with induction are:  
• Cookware made of enamel coated steel  
with or without a non-stick coating.  
• Cast iron cookware with or without enamel  
coated base.  
When cooking large quantities of food, it is  
always better to use a large diameter pan  
and a larger coil, thus better and more  
efficient heat distribution will be achieved  
and food cooked evenly.  
• Stainless steel pots and pans designed for  
induction cookware.  
Note:  
Stainless steel used for utensils is non-  
magnetic, in most cases, and unsuitable for  
Utensils with thick flat bases should be chosen for the benefit of uniform heat  
distribution.  
Never leave an empty piece of cookware on an induction heating element for more then a few  
seconds. If a utensil is left on an element at full power, temperature of the dish may  
increase rapidly, the safeties would not engage, and this may damage your utensil,  
the cooktop, and could result in an injury or a damage to your property.

To Do or Not To Do  
You must:  
- Avoid storing flammable products in the  
cabinets under your cooktop.  
- Always place your utensil such that its  
center is aligned with the centre of the coil.  
- Never leave an empty utensil on an  
induction heating element, even when the  
element is turned OFF.  
- Avoid hitting the vitroceramic glass with  
utensils or any hard objects - the glass  
surface is highly resistant but not  
unbreakable.  
- Only use maximum power for boiling and  
frying.  
- Pick-up your utensils when moving them  
around. Do not slide them and avoid  
excessive rubbing of the top, as this leaves  
scratches and erases the markings .  
- Never try heating up a closed can.  
- Avoid pre-heating your non-stick pans (e.g.  
with teflon coating) at maximum heat.  
- Avoid using utensils with rough or  
deformed bottoms.  
- Avoid storing solid and heavy items in the  
cabinets above your cooktop. They may  
unintentionally drop and damage the glass.  
To Do or Not To Do  
- Avoid leaving any metal cooking  
accessories, knives and forks, or metal  
objects on the hob. They may get hot if left  
close to any heating element in use.  
Do not connect any appliances to the plugs above or near to the induction cooktop;  
connection cable insulation can melt if in contact with heat, and this may result in an  
injury and a property damage.  
Your cooktop must never be used as a storage space or surface for piling up of any  
material.

necessarily mean that there is a breakdown. Nevertheless, check the following  
points.  
PROBLEM  
POSSIBLE CAUSES  
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?  
Your unit may be connected  
incorrectly,or there is an  
internal problem.  
When you switch the unit on, the  
supply-line breaker trips off or the  
supply-line fuse burn.
