OPERATION MANUAL INDUCTION CERAMIC HOBS CI76 COD. 208176 - REV 4 - 07.07.2006 INDUCTION COOKING The induction cooking is a radical change on the traditional way of cooking. The heat is generated from directly in the cooking vessel and maintains a cold cooking surface. For this reason it presents many advantages when compared to other cooking methods. High speed cooking and frying. The efficiency is greater than other systems because there is no heat loss as you are warming the vessel directly and not the cooking surface. It is economic. It is proven that cooking with an induction hot plate dramatically reduces electrical consumption in comparison with other cooking methods. Cooking and security control. As soon as the control is used, the hob produces or suspends the electrical output. If a vessel is removed without previously switching off the hob, it will automatically stop the output of heat. If any combustible material; ie a rag, is left on the hob, it will not burn even if the cooking area is actived. This is because after using the hob, the glass surface retains only the remaining heat transmitted by the vessel. Cleaning. As the glass absorbs only a small part of the vessel heat, it relatively cool. This helps to avoid any foods that may spill from burning onto the surface. Although it is not entirely necessary, wait for the hob to completely cool to clean it. PROTECTIVE MEASURES FOR THE SURROUNDING CABINETRY This product complies with EU Directive 2002/96/EC. The crossed-out rubbish bin symbol seen on the appliance indicates that the appliance must be disposed of separately from other domestic refuse at the end of its useful life. It must therefore be delivered to a waste recycling centre specifically for electric and electronic equipment or returned to the original retailer. The user is responsible for delivering the appliance to the appropriate collection centre at the end of its useful life. Failure to do so may result in a fine, as provided for by laws governing waste disposal. Differential collection of waste products for eventual recycling, treatment and environmentally friendly disposal helps reduce possible negative effects on the environment and health. It also enables the materials making up the product to be recycled. For more detailed information on the available refuse collection systems, refer to the local Municipal Solid Waste disposal centre or the shop where the product was purchased. Producers and importers are responsible for fulfilling their obligations in regards to recycling, treatment and environmentally friendly disposal by directly or indirectly participating in the collection system. 2 DESCRIPTION DIMENSIONS: 770 X 510 DIMENSIONS: 580 X 510 1 - Cooking area Ø 160 (1600 W) 2 - Cooking area Ø 220 (2200 W - Booster 3000 W) 3 - Cooking area Ø 190 (1800 W - Booster 2800 W) 4 - Cooking area Ø 190 (1800 W) CONTROL DESCRIPTION 5 Switch on- switch off 6 Controls functions lock 7 Cooking area directions 8 Cooking area controls 9 Cooking area timer checks 10 Booster functions switching on-switching off 11 Cooking area power indicator 12 Single timer or cooking area indicator 3 SECURITY AND CARE DIRECTIONS Appliance operation: • Make sure that the cooking vessel is externally clean and dry (not greasy) before placing it on the hob. • Never use vapor devices. The vapor pressure could damage the surfaces and components of the appliance permanently, for which the manufacturer will not be responsible. • Never position hot cooking vessels on the control panel area as the electronics situated under the panel could be damaged. • If under the installed appliance there is a drawer, its contents and the lower side of the applicance is sufficient. Refer to installation diagrams. • To avoid damage to persons and fittings read this directive carefully before using the hob for the first time. • Only use the hob after installing it correctly; it is important to avoid any contact with electrical wire components. • The hob is intended for domestic use only, not for industrial use. • Use the appliance only to prepare food; other application are at consumers own risk as they can be dangerous. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages caused by incorrect use of the appliance. To avoid burns If there are children at home: • When the afterheat light is off there is no danger of burning yourself or objects due to the hob being hot. • Always use the appropriate handles on all cooking vessels. Handles must not be wet or damp as the dampness can increase the risk of burns. • Do not heat sealed vessels, i.e. tin cans. The resulting overpressure could cause the contents to explode. • Take care not to throw objects or cutlery on the appliance. • Do not use the appliance as a rest or work surface. • Use the control lock so children cannot switch on the hob or modify its setting. • The appliance must be used only by adults who are able to understand the indications in this directive and on the appliance. • Do not permit children to play with the appliance. • To protect children ensure that any articles that may interest them are removed form the proximity of the hob. • Monitor children when they’re around hot cooking pots as it is possible for them to upset these, resulting in an explosion, fire or scorching. • Children should be not exposed to the packaging of this appliance. The packaging should be disposed of securely. Security and cares directions • Any objects or materials resting on the appliance can burn, melt or heat. • Do not cover the hob with a cloth or a protective film. • Monitor the hob when using fats and oils. These can can overheat and it may be possible for them to ignite. • If fats and oils used in cooking ignite, do not try to extinguish the fire with water. Smother the fire with a fire retardant blanket or an extinguisher. • Do not cook flambé dishes under the cooker hood. Flames could reach the cooker hood and result in a fire. Using the appliance effectively • Do not use pots or pans with a rough bottom (i.e. cast iron), because they could scratch the surface of the hob. Also grains of sand or other granular substances could cause scratches. • Make sure that sugar - liquefied or solid, plastic or silver paper are never put on the hot cooking areas. These materials melt and stick to the surface and when they cool they can crack, break or permanently damage the ceramic surface. If these substances do reach the hot cooking areas, switch off the hob and eliminate them with an appropriate utensil as soon as possible while the appliance is still hot. • Attention: It is important to clean the hob with caution as the cooking areas in this instance may be hot and there is the possibility of scalding yourself. If there is a faulty appliance. • Call for professional technical assistance. • If a fault is found in the appliance, disconnect the electricity to the hob. • Pay attention not to connect the appliance to the 4 SECURITY AND CARE DIRECTIONS • Do not put object with a magnetic nature near the hob, like credit cards, floppy disks, calculators. The hobs functions could be compromised as a result. • Do not put cans, liquids or other flammable materials in drawers under the appliance. The drawer’s cutlery tray, if present, should be in heat resistant material. electrical system before repairing it. • If there are cracks on the ceramic surface, disconnect the electricity of the appliance immediately. • Repairs are to be carried out be a skilled and authorized technician only. Incorrect repairs could be dangerous and cause further damage to the appliance. • Repairs on the appliance during the warranty period can be done only the company's technicians, otherwise the warranty will be void. • Note: for persons with pacemakers: within the functioning appliance there is an electro magnetic field that could compromise the pacemaker performance. • Take care when positioning the dishes in the centre of the cooking area, so that the pot’s base can cover all the electromagnetic field. • Heat food sufficiently. Germs present in the food are eliminated only at high temperature and over a prolonged period of time. • Do not use plastic or tin foil dishes. High temperatures could melt these materials which can be a fire danger. 5 INSTALLATION General Instructions refer to the installation diagrams. • The installation of the hob in non-stationary places (i.e.: a ship) must be by skilled technicians to guarantee appliance safety. • If there is a drawer under the appliance, do not keep flammable object inside. • Make sure that after the installation the electrical connection wire is not subjected to stress. • The adjoining bench into which the hob is installed must be manufatured with thermo resistant adhesive (100°C), to prevent any detachment or buckling. All splash backs must also (space needed) be thermo resistant. • Furniture, walls or cabinetry that are taller/higher than the hob can only be on one side of the hob and the rear. There should be nothing higher than the hob on the front and other side area. • To obtain sufficient electronic ventilation in the hob, it is not acceptable to install an intermediate shelf under an induction hob. • The installation of the appliance must only be done by a qualified technician. Refer to a technician qualified in accordance with local rules and regulations. • The manufactured and supplier are not responsible for damages caused by incorrect installation of the appliance. • The appliance's electrical security is guaranteed only if the appliance is connected to a regular grounded conductor. If in doubt, call a skilled technician to check the installation. The manufacturer and supplier are not responsible for damages caused by the absence or interruption of the grounding conductor. • The appliance should not be linked up to the electrical system with an extension lead. • The hob should not be installed over a dishwasher, tumble dryer, washing machine, cooling system, freezer or kitchen cooling/exhaust fan. Please RECOMMENDED DISTANCE BETWEEN THE APPLIANCE AND THE EXTRACTOR HOOD NOT RECOMMENDED NOT RECOMMENDED 6 INSTALLATION 77 CM CERAMIC HOB (30”) Hob: Cut-out W 770 mm D 510 mm W 30.3 Inches 20 Inches W 750 mm D 490 mm W 29.5 Inches 19.3 Inches 58 CM CERAMIC HOB (23”) Hob: Cut-out W 580 mm D 510 mm W 22.8 Inches 20 Inches W 560 mm D 490 mm W 22 Inches 19.3 Inches HEIGHT BOX CONNECTION ELECTRICAL WORKER: H= 65 mm • Make the cut-out on the work surface according to the model dimensions ( see pictures above). • Respect the minimal distance of 50 mm towards the back side and on the right and left towards a possible lateral wall. • Turn the hob over carefully and attach the seal provided with accessories kit on the external side uniformly. • Attach the provided stirrup to the relative places and fix the hob to the bench surface as shown. 7 INSTALLATION Attention: To guarantee that the appliance is functioning correctly it is important to provide a surface, during the installation, of a minimum 4 mm spacer for the length of the recess on the front side of the furniture. This is required to assist the electrical controls should temperatures reach over 85°C, where upon the hob controls will automatically turn the appliance off until the temperature returns under the limit required. To ensure temperatures in the control area are maintained during operation the appliance’s cooling fan will start automatically. Ensure sufficient air flow in accordance with the diagram opposite including an escape area to the front of the cabinetry to a minimum of 4mm. This swill ensure that temperatures will not exceed 85 degree C and will protect the electronic control systems. If this installation is not followed the manufacturer and supplier warranty is void. Electrical connection The installer is responsible for the correct electrical connection and all local safety rule compliance. • The appliance must be installed by a qualified technician who knows the relevant security and assembling rules in force. In particular, local power institution rules must be observed. • Check that the voltage displayed in the appliance indicator plate corresponds to the voltage used in your house. The indicator plate is placed on the back side of the hob. • Grounding is compulsory according to the law. All the electric wires and grounding conductors should have the appropriate dimensions. • The electrical connection between the hob and a possible oven must be provided individually. In the case of a direct connection to the supply, it is necessary to install a mono-pole switch between the appliance and the supply with a minimal 3mm opening between the contacts. • The manufacturer/supplier is not responsible for any damages to persons or property caused by the non-observance of above installation rules. Before effecting the connection, make sure that: • The tap has the grounding and is in accordance to law. • The tap can bear the highest load of the machine, shown in the indicator placed on the appliance. • The charging voltage is included in the characteristics indicator. • The tap is plug-compatible with the appliance. If it is not, replace the tap or the plug. Do not use extensions or multiplexes. • The grounding wire (yellow/green coloured) is connected to the terminal board on the point indicated with the respective sign and is longer than any other conductor wires. • The cable must not undergo folding or compressions. • The cable must be periodically controlled and changed only by authorized technicians. • The manufacturer declines all responsibilities if these rules are not respected. 8 START AND USE Practical advise for the appliances use and for best performance: • Use flat bottom pots with elevated thickness to be sure that these perfectly adhere to the heating areas. • Use cooking vessels which are compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic material). It is recommended that you use enameled steel or special induction inox pots. To assure the compatibility of a vessel it is sufficient to check with a magnet. SUITABLE MATERIALS NOT SUITABLE MATERIALS Magnetic cast iron, enameled steel, magnetic stainless steel Copper, aluminum, cast iron, enameled glass, terracotta, steel, non magnetic stainless steel. • Use pots with a diameter big enough to cover the heating area completely. This will guarantee the exploitation of all available heat. • Make sure that the pot base is always dry and clean to ensure the correct contact. • Avoid using the same pots that may be used on gas burners. The gas burners heat concentration could deform the pot bottom which will degrade the adhesion to the hob. 9 START AND USE Switching on the applicance: Attention: The “Booster” function brings the power to 3000W for the Ø 220 and to 2800W for the Ø 190. This means that during the operation, the front areas will have the power of 600 W for that of Ø220 and 800 W for that of Ø 190. This is due to the appliance having two generators of 3600W. The hob switches on by selecting the n°5 sensor on the controls area. When this sensor is selected a sound is made. If it is the first time the appliance is switched on, the appliance lights up all of the displays on the control panel and switches off after 10 seconds. This puts into action the sensor n°6. Disconnect the key selecting the sensor. The heated areas switch on and all stay at “0” until a power level is selected. If this does not succeed in 10 seconds, the hob will automatically switch off. Key Function (lock) This function can be activated whether with the appliance is switched on or off. The purpose is to exclude the command sensors to avoid accidental changes. In case the sensor is activated when the appliance is functioning, all the power zones and the timer controls will be blocked. Ignition control will remain operative (n°5 of the picture above). If the key is selected when the appliance is switched off, the switchon/switch off sensor will be excluded (n°5). The commencement of the function is reported through a pilot light placed over the key symbol. When the light is switched on the key is activated, when it is switch off the key is not activated. Select the key (+) for the appropriate cooking area, which will position itself at level 1. The highest level achievable is 9. With the sensor (-) the power reduces until 0. If, with the 0 level selected, the sensor (-) is pushed, the power becomes level 9. Booster Function This function brings every power zone to the highest level (position 10) for a maximum period of 10 minutes. Passed this period the power returns to the level it was previously at. Timer Function The timer can be activated by pushing on the corresponding sensors (+) (-). Between 1 and 99 minutes can be selected, which can be modified at any time. To cancel the function, press on key (-) or simultaneously press on keys (+) and (-). With the timer on “00” push on (+) sensor to increase the minutes. By pressing on (-) sensor the timer will positioning itself on “99”, and fall until the sensor is released at the time needed. On the selected area display appears the letter “P”. This function can be excluded any time by reselecting the command zone “Booster”. The same will bring the power back to the one preselected with a confirming sound. This function can also be excluded by pressing the keys (+) or (-). In this case the power level will be immediately higher or lower than that selected before the connection of the “Booster” function. 10 START AND USE Timer running with cooking areas Switching off the Appliance You can use the timer on all cooking areas, however they can operate only one at a time. To make the cooking area function with the timer, operate as specified below: • Activate the timer. • Select one cooking area. A LED will light both the timer and the selected cooking area. • Within 10 seconds select the time to pre-set on the timer. If this does not happen, the area will automatically switch off. It is possible to use the timer with the cooking area power at “0“. Time alterations have to be made with the (+) and (-) sensors. To switch off the appliance it is necessary to push on n°5 sensor. When the hob is switched off a sound is made and an “H” symbol appears on the cooking areas, which indicates the afterheat or a possible failure. Display directions If the heating zone is switched on, the “0” symbol appears on the display. If the cooking is terminated and the area is already hot, the “0” and “H” symbols are alternatively visualized. If a power level between “1” and “9” or the Booster function is selected and a suited pot is not put on the cooking area, the sign starts flashing. If a suited pot is not put placed on the hob, the power level will return to “0” after 30 seconds are passed. If the pot is suitable, the power sign remains fixed in the display. When selecting the timer amount, the speed of the timer will increase as sensors are pushed for a longer time. When the timer on the cooking is finished, the timer starts flashing with “00” values on the display and a sound is made. This sound can be stopped by pushing one of the touch sensors or it stops automatically after a minute. The cooking area can also be switched off manually by pushing on the (+) and (-) sensors simultaneously or by bringing the (-) sensor to “0” position. Automatic switch-off. If, during the functioning, the power level is not changed the cooking areas automatically switches off after a time indicated in the table below for to safety reasons: POWER LEVEL MAXIMUN TIME OF FUNCTIONNING (HOURS) 1 10 2 5 3 4 4 4 5 3 6 3 7 2 8 2 9 1 P 10 (min) 11 CARE AND CLEANLINESS with a wet cloth. If the cooking zones are switched on and there is residual detergent still there, these could damage the ceramic. Never use vapour machines to clean. • The vapor can reach the electrical conductor components and cause it to short-circuit. Vapor pressure can also cause permanent damage to the surface of the appliance. The manufacturer/ supplier is not responsible of these damages. • For this reason, clean all impurities immediately so that they do not burn onto the surface. Make sure that the bottom of the cooking vessels are clean, dry and without grease before using them on the hob. • Do not use pointed objects on the appliance as these can damage washers between the ceramic surface, the frame and between frame and working surface. • Do not put metallic objects on the hob. • Clean the appliance regularly and always after use. • Do not use products with sands, alkali, acids or chlorides, oven spray, detergents used to clean dishwashers, steel wool, abrasive dampers or a hard bristle brush. Also, do not use dampers or other products which have abrasive detergent residuals because they could scratch the surface. • Before cleaning, wait until the hob has cooled. • Clean the hob with a special ceramic detergent and kitchen paper or with a smooth, wet cloth. • Always dry the appliance after cleaning it with a wet cloth to avoid the formation of calcareous deposits. • If an incorrect cleaning detergent is used, the surface may appear bleached or with permanent blue stains. • Use special detergent for ceramic cooktops and follow the manufacturers’ directions. • Eliminate all detergent from the cooking zones 12 PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS Afterheat For safety reasons this information is the most important: • If the hob is switched off, the zones which show the power are fixed on “H”. • if the hob is switched on, the zones which show the power display alternatively “H” and “0”. Listed below are some possible fault messages for which professional technical support is necessary: Cooking zone temperature sensor • Short-circuit: in the corresponding cooking zone, the symbols “F” and “1” are alternatively displayed. • Open circuit: in the corresponding cooking zone, the symbols “F” and “2” are alternatively displayed. Cooking zone without or with an inadequate cooking vessel: • If the selected level is “0”, this one is also shown in the indicator. • If it is different from “0”, it is also shown in the indicator, but it flashes. Power temperature sensor • Short-circuit: if the 2 elements controlled by the induction generator are in short-circuit, “F” and “3” are displayed alternatively. • Open circuit: if the 2 elements controlled by the induction generator have an open circuit, “F” and “4” are displayed alternatively. Automatic actions in case of failure • If there are failures on the temperature sensor and on the cooking zones power sensor, these are immediately switched off and the keys (+/-) are blocked. Communication loss • If the 2 elements controlled by the induction generator lost communications, “F” and “5” are displayed alternatively. • This happens also if there is loss of communication with the induction generator or overloading. Generator over current • If a cooking zone is selected for more than 30 seconds without a pot on it the zone will automatically switch off. • If the 2 elements controlled by the induction generator are overloaded, “F” and “9” are displayed alternatively. Generator overheating • If the 2 elements controlled by the induction generator are overheated, “POWER LEVEL” and “C” are displayed alternatively. 13 14 Warranty Porter&Charles products are designed and built to the highest standards.
