We suggest that you should per iodically check that there are no objects (dust, paper etc.) which could obstr uct the air inlet under your induction cooktop. Although induction-cooktop heat rejection is minimal and the unit does not create any fumes in operation, such unit must be installed under neath a proper ly sized ventilation hood for exhausting any smell, vapor and smoke created by cooking itself. Also, a proper downdraft system can be used for ventilation The unit must be installed such that it can be pulled without difficulty out of the cut-out for ser vicing or cleaning. Your cooktop 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 surface units should be avoided. Never glue, silicone or wedge the unit inside its cut-out. 7 Electrical Connection Hear tland INDUCTION Cooktop electrical Characteristics: Operating voltage 240V~60Hz Total Energy consumption 8400 W Connect to 240V, 60Hz, 2 Pole+G, 40 A (min) supply (3 conductors #8 AWG) 240V Electrical wiring information Connect the 3 wires as per the following color code L BLACK GREEN Ear th Phase 2 RED Phase 1 A n a d e q u a t e e l e c t r i c a l s u p p l y m u s t b e p r ov i d e d fo r t h i s u n i t .

This magnetic field continuously changes in terms of frequency and intensity, and this creates induced currents in the bottom of the utensil and ultimately results in heat. The heat is transferred directly to the food being cooked. induced currents ~ induction coil inver ter Thus, induction heat makes the utensil a direct source of heat, featuring high level of efficiency with extremely low energy loss and unparalleled heating level control. - if the utensil is placed par tially on the coil, or if it is smaller than the coil, the internal sensors will reduce power to the coil; - if the utensil is fully removed from the coil, the power output will be instantaneously reduced to ’0’ (zero) 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 ver y little ’heating iner tia’. Induction cooking elements do not incor porate a heat generating element - unlike convectional electric rings, halogen or radiant elements etc. - therefore, heat levels can be changed ver y quickly. When compared to the other methods of cooking, induction cooking has a ver y low level of ambient heat, Thus makes cooking more pleasurable, with a reduced need for ventilation. Energy efficiency for induction is within range of 90-95%, compared with 55-65% for conventional 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 environment. 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; For a proper choice of utensils, please refer to ’Utensils for Your Induction’ 10 Glass Top, Coil Size and Controls Left heating section Central heating section fl6-1/2" (16cm) 50 W to 2000 W Right heating section fl9" (22cm) 50 W to 2800 W fl11" (28cm) 50 W to 2800 W fl9" (22cm) 50 W to 2800 W fl6-1/2" (16cm) 50 W to 2000 W cooktop - Top View & Coil sizes Bur ner location Power Level Display ON/OFF Indicator Medium High Maximum ON/OFF Control Power Level Adjustment Power Level Adjustment Display and Touch-sensitive Controls Detail 11 Controls and Operation Operating the Unit sensors are placed are marked by appropriate signs on the glass. Also, to be able to use the unit, you should have obtained a utensil suitable for induction cooking. This cooktop is equipped with touch sensitive controls and you are only required to place your fingers on a sensor which is positioned underneath the glass top to indicate an adequate response from the unit. The spots where these Tur ning the Coil ON To star t, put the utensil on the coil which you would like to use, then locate the set of controls for the coil. This is indicated by a small dot on the ON/OFF sign on the glass top. To turn the element (coil) ON place a finger on the ON/OFF sign. The LED above this sign will become lit, and a ’0’ (zero) should appear on the numeric display. Now the element is ready for you to adjust the power output. Note that if you do not indicate any power for the element, it will turn itself off automatically after 10 seconds. Power Output Adjustment The power output level is shown on the digital display and it can be adjusted by either : - Touching the ’+’ (plus) or the ’-’ (minus) sign on the control. The setting would change in single increments of 1 between 0 and 12; or - Touching preset power levels on the control. The settingwould change as follows: position 6 = Medium position 10 = High position 12 = Maximum Tur ning Coil OFF Turn the coil off byu touching the ’ON/OFF’ sign on the control .
