Important Safety Instructions

This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. Accessible parts become hot when in use, so care should be taken to avoid touching the burners.

Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with local and national building codes. If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified service agent to avoid hazards.

WARNINGS:

• Do not leave the cooktop unattended while children or infirm persons are present.
• Unattended cooking with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire.
• Do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
• If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance immediately to avoid electric shock. Never use a cracked or broken ceramic-glass cooktop.
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and pot lids should not be placed on the hob surface as they can get hot.
• Preparation of food in aluminum or plastic cookware is not allowed. Never place plastic objects or aluminum foil on the cooktop surface.
• Keep flammable or temperature-sensitive objects away from the appliance.
• Do not use high-pressure steam cleaners or hot steam to clean the appliance.
• Ensure the electrical supply is restricted with an accessible all-plug disconnection means incorporated in the fixed wiring.

Installation Warnings

The appliance must be installed by a qualified person according to local and national building regulations. Panels and furniture lining of the kitchen cabinet must be treated with temperature-resistant adhesives (80°C). The cooktop is intended for installation into a benchtop of a minimum 600mm width.

The distance between the cooking surface and any cabinets or rangehoods above must be no less than 650mm (refer to rangehood manual for specific requirements). Decorative borders are allowed if minimum distances are maintained.

The minimum distance between the built-in cooktop and the rear wall is indicated in the installation illustrations. The induction cooktop may be installed into a benchtop between 25mm to 40mm thick.

The kitchen cabinet must not have a drawer directly below the cooktop. It must be fitted with a horizontal board at least 30mm away from the cooktop bottom surface. This space should be empty and accessible for maintenance.

The rear side of the kitchen element must have a 50mm high opening along its entire width, and the front part must have an opening of no less than 10mm for ventilation.

Ovens with a cooling fan can be installed under the induction cooktop. Do not install the appliance above a dishwasher or refrigerator.

Installation - Built-in induction cooktop cutout dimensions

Cut out the work surface according to the provided dimensions. Ensure a minimum of 50mm space around the cutout. The bench thickness should be at least 30mm. Use heat-resistant and insulated bench materials. Avoid wood or similar fibrous materials unless impregnated.

Cutout Dimensions for HIC604TFG:

• L (mm): 590
• W (mm): 520
• H (mm): 62
• D (mm): 58
• A (mm): 561-564
• B (mm): 491-494
• X (mm): 50 (min)
• F (mm): 3 (min)

Ensure the cooktop is well ventilated and that the air inlet and outlet are not blocked.

A wooden insert, fixed by screws, at a minimum distance of 50mm from the bottom of the cooktop is recommended to prevent accidental touching of the hot underside or electric shock.

Note: Ventilation holes around the outside of the cooktop must not be blocked by the bench. Glue used on the bench must be resistant to 150°C. Rear wall and surrounding surfaces must withstand 90°C.

Before locating the fixing brackets:

Place the unit on a stable, smooth surface. Do not apply force onto the controls. Fix the hob to the bench by screwing the four brackets to the bottom of the cooktop after installation. The brackets should not touch the bench after installation.

Electrical connection

LOCAL AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS: Installation is only permitted by a licensed electrician according to manufacturer's instructions. Incorrect installation may cause harm and damage.

Electrical Installation: Before connecting, check the appliance's voltage rating against the mains supply voltage. Ensure the mains electric wiring can handle the oven's power rating. If in doubt, call a qualified technician.

NOTE: Do not use adapters, reductions, or multiple power points for mains connections. Do not install separate timers.

The switched outlet must always be accessible. Ensure the cooktop is correctly and efficiently earthed. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage from improper earthing.

WARNING: If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced immediately by a licensed electrician with a replacement cable from the Service Centre.

The cooktops are to be connected to a single phase 220-240Vac 50 Hz supply. A suitable isolating switch must be incorporated in the fixed wiring. The power supply cord must not touch hot surfaces and its temperature should not exceed 75°C.

Operating Instructions

Touch Controls

• The controls respond to touch; no pressure is needed. Use the pad of your finger, not the tip.
• A beep confirms touch registration.
• Ensure controls are clean, dry, and free of objects. Water film can affect operation.

Choosing the Right Cookware

• Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
• Ensure the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and matches the cooking zone size. Always center your pan.
• Always lift pans off the cooktop; do not slide them, as this may scratch the glass.

If the display flashes alternately with the heat setting:

• No pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the cooking zone.
• The pan is too small or not properly centered.

Heating only occurs with a suitable pan on the cooking zone. The display will disappear after 1 minute if no suitable pan is placed.

Using the Cooktop

When power is connected, a beep and brief light illumination indicate standby mode.

1. Turn the cooktop on using the ON/OFF control. Indicators will show '-'.
2. Place a suitable, clean, and dry pan on the desired cooking zone.
3. Touch the heating zone selection control.
4. Touch the 'B' control for boost function ('P' will show). To cancel boost, touch 'B' or '-'.
5. Select heat setting using '+' or '-' controls. Values adjust by touching or holding. The cooktop will switch off if no setting is chosen within one minute.
6. Turn off a cooking zone by scrolling to '0' or touching '+' and '-' together.
7. Turn the whole cooktop off using the ON/OFF button.

Beware of hot surfaces: 'H' indicates a hot cooking zone. It disappears when the surface cools to a safe temperature.

Safety Lock

To lock controls (except ON/OFF), press the lock button. The timer indicator will display 'Lo'. To unlock, press and hold the lock button while the cooktop is turned on.

Using the Timer

The timer can be used as an alarm or to automatically turn off a cooking zone. It can be set up to 99 minutes.

Using the Timer as an Alarm:

• Adjust timer with '+' and '-' buttons; the display will flash.
• Once set, the timer counts down, showing remaining time and flashing the timer indicator for five seconds.
• To cancel, hold '+' and '-' together; display changes to '--'.
• When the timer elapses, a buzzer sounds for 30 seconds, and the display changes to '--'.

Hint: Touch '+' or '-' for one-minute increments. Touch and hold for ten-minute increments. Settings over 99 minutes reset to 0.

Setting the Timer to turn one or more Cooking Zones Off

• Touch '+' or '-' control of the desired cooking zone.
• Set the timer as described previously. A red dot next to the power level indicates the timer is set.
• When the timer elapses, the cooking zone switches off automatically. The display shows 'H' if the zone is still hot.

Note: To change a set timer, you must restart the process.

Multiple Timers

If multiple zones use the timer, the display shows the shortest remaining time. A red dot flashes next to the power indicator for the displayed timer. When the shortest timer elapses, the next shortest time is shown.

Over-Temperature Protection

A temperature sensor detects excessive heat and automatically switches off a cooking zone.

Residual Heat Warning

'H' on the display indicates a cooking zone is still hot after being switched off.

Default Working Times

An automatic shut-off feature turns off cooking zones after a set period:
