4.1 Safety rules

• Only a local gas utility technician is authorized to carry out gas

installations and connections. The statutory regulations (applied

in Germany VDE, Austria ÖVE, Switzerland SEV, etc.) and connec-

tion conditions performed by the gas utility must be strictly

observed.

• In compliance with international regulations, when connecting

the appliance to the mains power supply, a device with a mini-

mum aperture of 3 mm between contacts must be fitted

upstream of the appliance, allowing omnipolar disconnection of

the appliance from the mains. Also, a high-sensitivity automatic

differential switch must be installed which protects against direct

or indirect contact with live electrical parts and against current

leakage (maximum current leakage permissible by regulations is

1 mA/kW).

• Connection to a power balance system for the installation in a all

is given through a connection point. Follow the VDE 0100 T 410

connection rules or local rules.

• Compare technical datas on grey stickers to those written on this

manual and present power supply.

• Do not bend, crush or damage the cables against sharp corners.

• Lay the cables so as to avoid contact with extremely hot surfaces.

• Connection to the grid must be carried out with at least a cable

type NYM or H07RN-F.

5 - SET-UP FOR OPERATION

0060_GB_42 - PYROCERAM AND INDUCTION HOBS

10 · 20

Validity from serial number 0550010246 02/2006

5.1 What is induction cooking?

The principle of induction cooking is very simple. When the pan is pla-

ced on the pyroceram surface of the hob, it enters a magnetic field

generated by an induction system. The ferrous base of the pan heats

up rapidly as molecules rub against one another, producing heat. The

heating speed and intensity can be adjusted by controlling the magne-

tic field.

5.2 Why should you choose induction?

For Safety, because there are no flames or heat sources that create

hazards when the pan is removed from the heat source. The hob shuts

off automatically as soon as the pan is removed

For Speed, because heat is generated directly inside the pan, allowing

it to heat up immediately. For the same reason, the temperature is

adjusted immediately, in the same way as gas cooking

For Efficiency, because compared with other types of cooking, induc-

tion has very high energy yield, around 85%. This

cooking system also keeps the surrounding area cool and healthy, as

there is no heat dispersion, unlike other types of cooking appliances.

5.3 Caution and hazard

Caution! Incorrect usage and failure to comply with the

instructions provided could cause injury or damage to

people and property..

Caution! Before using or carrying out maintenance

work on the appliance, please read this use, mainte-

nance and installation manual carefully.

Hazard! Failure to follow the relative safety regula-

tions, laws and directives could expose you to hazard.

Hazard!The incorrect use or handling of the generators

poses a hazard to people, animals and property. Failure

to ready and study this use and installation manual

exposes you to hazard.

5.4 Safety of the user or personnel responsi-

ble for use

Electrical hazards should be excluded. The induction generator should

be used by qualified personnel and it should be installed by a certified

professional in compliance with specific international, national and

regional regulations on electrical and electronic appliances for collecti-

ve use and civil and industrial electrical installations.

5.5 Safety of the personnel responsible for use

The pyroceram area is heated by the heat of the saucepan. To avoid

burns, do not touch the heating zone.

To avoid excessive overheating, do not leave the empty saucepan on

the heat or heat it for no reason.

If cooking with several saucepans at the same time, make sure that the

handles do not cross each other and that they are outside the field of

induction. The handles may become very hot depending on the type of

material from which they are made.

Risk of burns! We recommend using oven gloves.

Saucepans must always be kept a small distance apart. They should not

touch each other. When you remove the saucepan, it is advisable to

switch off the cooking zone to prevent the heating system from swit-

ching back on automatically should you happen to replace the sauce-

pan.

Do not place other material (paper, card, fabric, etc.) between the sau-

cepan and the cooking zone as it could catch fire.

Metal objects heat up very quickly if placed in the heating zone when

it is in operation. It is therefore advisable not to place objects other

than saucepans on the induction hob (cans, closed tins, aluminium

trays, cutlery, rings, keys, watches, etc.)

People with pace makers should consult their doctor to find our

whether they can work in the vicinity of a hob with induction genera-

tor.

Do not place credit cards, phone cards, cassette tapes or other magne-

tic objects on the pyroceram plate with induction system.

The induction generator has an internal cooling system. Make sure

that the air inlet and outlet holes are not blocked by objects (paper,

rags or other). This could cause overheating and lead the induction

generator to switch itself off.

Do not allow liquids (water, oil or other) to enter the induction gene-

rator.

Do not clean the generator with a jet of water.

If the pyroceram top is cracked or broken, switch off the induction

hob and disconnect the electricity supply.

Do not touch any of the internal parts of the induction generator.

5.6 Safety during installation, maintenance

and controls

The personnel responsible for use must be qualified. All installation,

maintenance and control operations must be performed by personnel

qualified to issue the relative certificates requested by the relative

authorities as regards safety

in the workplace.

Said personnel must study this manual in depth. Only highly qualified

personnel may install, maintain, service, repair and collect the induc-

tion generator component. In practice, said personnel must be trained

by means of a specific training course authorised by the manufacturer

as regards the induction generator.

Moreover, they must meet the requirements set by the relative autho-

rities as regards the electrical and electronic safety of installations.

Generally speaking, work should only be carried out on the induction

generator component after it has been disconnected from the electri-

city supply.

The induction generator must be switched off and disconnected from

the power supply and electricity network.

The safety and protection installations must be replaced and reinstal-

led at the end of the above operations, in keeping with the interna-

tional, national and regional regulations and laws on safety, thus

ensuring correct and safe usage of the component.

5.7 Preparation and Start-up

Before starting up the appliance, remove the protective wrapping.

Then carefully clean the working surface and the external parts with

lukewarm water and detergent, using a damp rag to remove all traces

of anti-rust material applied in the factory, then dry with a clean cloth.

5.7.1 Start-up

Before using the appliance for the first time, thoroughly clean out

the plate (see the chapter 6.4“Cleaning and taking care of the

machine”).

To start up the appliance, see the instructions for regular use.

The heating zone is heated by the heat emanated by the base of

the saucepan. To avoid burns and injury, do not touch the heating

zone.

Connect the appliance to the power supply after making sure that

the voltage corresponds to that used by the induction generator

and indicated on the manufacturer's plaque.

Place the saucepan to be heated in the central of the cooking zone,

beneath which the inductors are located.

• Do not place aluminium or plastic pots, or aluminium foil, on the

hot surfaces of the pyroceram.

5.9 Pots and pans

Induction generators only work properly with saucepans with an iron,

cast iron or chrome-plated iron base. These pans may also be enamel-

led.

The generators accept all the above type of saucepans and adapt in

real time to supply the same power.

The generator does not accept unsuitable pans.

Any other product no mentioned in this paragraph should be conside-

red automatically excluded and unsuitable for use with induction

generators.

Turn the knob of the energy regulator (pos. 1 fig. 1) clockwise. Keep

in mind that the minimum is obtained in the thinnest part of the

comet-shaped icon and the maximum in the wide part.

When you remove the pan from the inductor for brief periods, it will

stop supplying power, and when you replace the pan the power will

be restored immediately at the same level as before. For safety rea-

sons, if the pan is removed for more than 120 seconds, the induction

is switched off completely and will need to be switched back on if the

pan is replaced, restoring the knob/potentiometer to the “0” position

and then back to the desired power by turning the knob in a clock-

wise direction

To turn the appliance off, turn the knob to position “0”.

Certain parts of the generator are still powered even when the

cooker is switched off. Therefore, if carrying out maintenance work,

6.8 Recommendations for the treatment of

stainless “steel industrial” kitchens

6.8.1 Useful information on “stainless steel”

Industrial kitchens are generally made of “stainless steel” having the

following material codes:

• 1.4016 or 1.4511 = magnetizable chromed steels

• 1.4301, 1.4401 and 1.4571 = non-magnetizable chromed steels

Chromed steels have favourable thermo-technical characteristics. In

fact, they have less of a tendency to warp due to the effect of heat.

Chrome-nickel steels, instead, have good corrosion resistance features.

“Stainless steel” corrosion resistance is given by an inactive coat that

builds up on the surface by coming into contact with oxygen.

The oxygen in the air is already enough to build up the inactive coat

that allows automatic removal of anomalies and damage due to

mechanical actions. The inactive coat builds up or re-builds up faster

if the steel comes in contact with running water containing oxygen.

A more powerful effect is given by oxidative acids (nitric acid, oxalic

acid). These acids are used if the steel has undergone strong chemi-

cal stresses, hence generally losing its inactive coat.

The inactive layer can be chemically damaged or jeopardized by

reducing agents (oxygen consumption) if they come in contact with

the steel, concentrated or at high temperatures. These active sub-

stances include for instance:

• saline and sulphurous substances

• chlorides (salts)

• concentrated spices such as mustard, vinegar essences, soup

cubes, kitchen salt solutions, etc.

More damage can be caused by:

• outside rust (i.e. from other components, tools or incipient rust)

• iron particles (i.e. file dust)

• contact with non-ferrous metals (element build up)

• lack of oxygen (i.e. no air inlet, water lacking oxygen).

6.8.2 Warnings and advice for maintenance of “stain-

less steel” appliances

• “Stainless” steel equipment surfaces must be kept clean and in

contact with air at all times. When not running, keep appliance

doors open so as to allow air to run through it.

• Regularly remove calcium , grease, starch, and egg white deposits

where rust may build up if there is lack of air. Do not use bleach-

ing products or products containing chloride. Follow all indica-

tions given by the company concerning special soaps and clean-

ing methods to be used for the appliance. If no specific cleaning

recommendations are available, it is necessary, however, to use

detergents having a low chloride content. After cleaning, remove

all soap residues with plenty of clean water and thoroughly dry

the surfaces.

• Minimize contact of “stainless steel” with concentrated acids,

spices, salts, etc. Even acid vapours coming from cleaning the tiles

favour “stainless steel” corrosion.

• Particularly for pots and multiple appliances, it is not recom-

mended to load the cooking chamber only with food having a

high salt content.

It is preferable to cook different food together, i.e. fatty dishes

or vegetables containing acids.

• Avoid damaging the “stainless steel” surface, in particular with

different metals. Residues from other metals help build up the

formation of chemical microelements that may cause rust. At any

rate, it is appropriate to avoid contact between iron and steel

since it produces rust. Any contact between “stainless steel” and

iron (steel wool, pipeline chips, chalybeate waters) can start cor-

rosion phenomena.

• As for mechanical cleaning, it is recommended to use only steel

wool or natural, plastic or steel bristle brushes. Steel wool or

brushes with “stainless steel” can cause rust due to rubbing. Newly

formed rust spots can be removed with slightly abrasive liquid

soaps or fine-grained sand paper. Larger rust spots can be

removed with 2-3% of hot oxalic acid solution. If these cleaning

products do not do the job, a nitric acid (10%) treatment is

required.

Attention! These treatments can be carried out only by

expert personnel according to current regulations!

6.8.3 The 2002/96/EC (WEEE) Directive:

information to users

This informational note is meant only

for owners of equipment marked with

the symbol shown in fig. A on the adhe-

sive label featuring the technical specifi-

cations applied on the actual product

(the label also giving the serial number).

This symbol indicates that the product is classified, according to the

regulations in force, as an item of electrical and electronic equip-

ment and conforms to EU Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE) meaning

that, at the end of its service life, it must be treated separately from

domestic waste, i.e. it must be handed in free of charge to a separa-

te waste electrical and electronic equipment collection centre or

returned to the reseller when buying a new equivalent item of

equipment.

The user is responsible for delivering the unit at the end of its life

to the appropriate collection facilities. Failure to do so shall result in

the user being subject to the penalties prescribed by the legislation

in force on waste.

Suitable separated collection so that the unit no longer used can be

sent off for environmentally compatible recycling, treatment and

disposal helps avoid possible negative effects on the environment

and on health and facilitates the recycling of the product's compo-

nent materials.

For more detailed information on available collection systems, con-

tact the local waste disposal service or the shop you purchased the

unit from.

Producers and importers fulfil their responsibility for environmental-

ly compatible recycling, treatment and disposal both directly and by

joining a collective scheme.
