Only use the hob for residential cooking, and for the purposes described in this manual.

Other uses are not permitted and can be dangerous. Malloca will not be held li able for damage caused by unauthorized use or improper operation of any kind.

Persons who lack physical, sensory or mental abilities, or experience with the hob should not use it without supervision or instruction by a responsible person.

Individuals with a pacemaker or similar medical device: Please note that an electromagnetic field develops when the hob is turned on. Although unlikely that this will affect a pacemaker or other medical device please consult the device manufacturer or your doctor if you have concerns.

Keep magnetized items, e.g. credit cards, disks, etc. away from the hob while in operation. Damage may result.

Do not use the hob until it has been properly installed in the countertop.

This hob is equipped with an overheating protection feature. See “Over heating protection” for more information.

Be sure to use the proper type of cookware. Follow the manufacturer’s instruc tions.

If the hob is installed above a pyrolytic oven it should not be used during the pyrolytic process. The overheating protection feature of the hob might be activated.

6


Injury prevention

Children should not be left unattended in an area where the hob is in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the hob.

Caution:

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above the hob.

Children climbing on the hob to reach these items could be injured.

Use the Child Safety Lock to prevent children from turning on the heaters or changing the settings. See “Child Safety lock” for more information.

Keep all pots and pans out of children’s reach. Danger of burning or scalding.

Do not touch the hob or the surrounding areas during or immediately after use.

The hob may be hot even though it is dark in color. Wait until the residual heat indicators go out.

Protect your hands with insulated gloves or potholders when using the hob. Use only dry, heat resistant potholders. Moist or damp potholders used on hot sur faces can result in steam burns. Do not let the potholder touch the hot heating elements. Do not use towels or other bulky items near the hob.

Be aware of loose fitting or hanging clothing when operating the hob, they may present a fire hazard.

Pot and pan handles should be turned inward and not extend over the countertop to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spills.

Never leave a hob unattended at high settings or when cooking with oil or fat.

Overheated oil could ignite. Always heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it heats.

Do not use water on grease fires. Smother or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher on any fire or flame.

When frying food make sure that the food is as dry as possible before placing it in oil. Moisture can cause hot oil to splatter and boil over. At high settings, be cautious of splattering grease or boiling over liquids which may produce smoke.

Do not flambé under an exhaust hood. Flames could be drawn up into the hood by the suction and the grease filters may ignite.

7


Do not heat unopened containers.

Built-up pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

Before removing pots and pans be sure to turn off the heaters.

To prevent burns and breathing difficulty, allow the hob to cool before cleaning.

Some cleaners may produce toxic fumes if applied to a hot surface.

When wiping spills on a hot hob with a wet sponge or cloth, be careful to avoid steam burns.

Do not let flammable materials, i.e. cooking grease, accumulate on the hob.

Never cover the hob with a cloth. A fire may result.

Do not place items other than pots and pans on the hob.

Flammable materials should not be stored on or near the hob.

The hob is fitted with a cooling fan. Drawers under the hob are not recommended.

If a drawer is fitted directly underneath the hob, ensure that there is sufficient space between the drawer, its contents and the underside of the appliance in order to ensure sufficient ventilation for the hob.

Do not store small items or paper in the drawer. They could get sucked into the housing by the fan and cause damage or impair cooling. Ensure that no aerosols, combustible liquids or other flammable materials are kept in this drawer. If cutlery inserts are to be placed in the drawer they must be made of heat-rsistant material.

8


Damage protection

Never place hot pots or pans on the touch controls, this may damage the elec tronics

.

Do not drop anything on the ceramic surface of the hob. Even lightweight objects may cause damage.

Do not use pots or pans with pronounced edges or ridges on the ceramic hob.

These could scratch the hob permanently. See “Cookware” for more information.

Grains of salt and sand can cause scratches. Make sure that the bases of any pots and pans are clean, free of any fat or oils, and are dry.

Do not allow solid or liquid sugar, pieces of plastic or foil to fall on the heaters when they are hot. If these residues are allowed to cool on the ceramic surface pitting or even cracking may occur.

Any spills should be removed as quickly as possible to prevent them from burning on and becoming difficult to remove.

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this hob. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit.

9


Appliance safety

In the event of any damage to the hob, it must be turned off immediately and disconnected from the main power supply. Contact Malloca’s Technical Service

Department.

Do not use the hob until it has been repaired. Ensure power is not supplied to the hob until repair work is completed.

Do not cook on a damaged hob. Any breakages or cracks in the ceramic surface of the hob are defects and must be treated as such. If the hob should break, cleaning solutions and spills may penetrate the broken hob and create a risk of electric shock. Do not use the hob until it has been repaired.

Repairs should only be performed by qualified technicians to ensure safety. Re pairs and other work by unqualified persons could be dangerous. Do not open the outer casing of the hob under any circumstances.

While the hob is under warranty repairs should only be performed by an author ized service technician. Otherwise the warranty is void.

Further safety notes

Make certain that the power cords of small appliances do not come in contact with the hob. The insulation of the cable could become damaged.

Danger of electric shock!

Keep pets away from the hob at all times and activate the Child Safety Lock. If a pet gets on the hob a touch control sensor could be activated turning on a heater.

10


To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surfaces cabinet storage space above the hob should be avoided. If cabinet storage is necessary, the risk can be reduced by installing a venting hood to project horizontally a minimum of 127mm beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

Because of the heat radiated it is not recommended to install the hob above a drawer. It should be installed above a cabinet base unit with a dummy drawer front. A protective base should also be installed between the dummy drawer and the hob. There must be a minimum distance of 110 mm between the top of the countertop and the top of the protective base to ensure proper ventilation.

This hob has not been designed for maritime use or for use in mobile installations such as recreational vehicles or aircraft. However, under certain conditions it may be possible for installation in these applications. Please contact the Malloca Techni cal

Service Department with specific requirements.

The hob must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the hob provides a sufficient seal for the counter top.

Once installed, be sure that the power cord cannot come into contact with the underside of the hob or any mechanical parts.

11

Cleaning and Care

Do not use a steam cleaner to clean this hob. Steam could penetrate electrical components and cause a short circuit. Pressurized steam could cause permanent damage to the surface and to components for which Malloca cannot accept responsibility.

Do not use any sharp pointed objects which could damage the seal between the ceramic surface, the surrounding frame and the countertop.

Never use abrasive or caustic (oven) cleaners, dishwasher detergent, scouring pads, steel wool or hard brushes. They will damage the surface.

The ceramic surface can be cleaned using a cleaner for ceramic surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

Make sure that no cleaner residue remains on the ceramic surface by carefully wiping the hob with a damp cloth. They may damage the hob or produce toxic fumes when heated.

Be sure that pot and pan bases are clean and dry.

After cleaning, dry the ceramic surface with a soft cloth to prevent a build up of limescale deposits.

Clean any spills immediately before they become difficult to remove.

Clean the hob regularly, preferably after each use. Allow the hob to cool before cleaning.

Wipe off any soiling using a damp cloth. Stubborn soiling is best removed with a shielded scraper blade.

Apply a ceramic cleaner using a soft cloth or paper towel. To remove any lime scale deposits or metallic residue apply a ceramic cleaner using a soft cloth and a shielded scraper blade if necessary.

After cleaning wipe the ceramic surface with a damp cloth and dry. A cleaner with a special additive to prevent water marks and smears on the ceramic surface may be used.

Any melted solids like sugar, plastic or aluminum foil should be removed as soon as possible, while the heater is still warm. If they are allowed to harden the hob may become pitted.

12

Appliance errors

Appliance errors are the errors which generate the deactivation of the whole hob.

When an appliance error is detected, all heaters are switched off, a beep sounds (only if one or more heaters are active) and all displays show a ‘F’ letter and the error code alternately.

While in error status all the heater keys are not operative .

Except EEPROM and microcontroller errors, all errors are recoverable. That is, when the cause of the error disappears all displays are deactivated and the hob returns to normal operation.

Safety Instructions for installation

Safety distance above the hob

The minimum safety distance given by the hood manufacturer must be maintained between the hob and the hood above it. See the installation instructions of the hood for these safety measurements.

If the hood manufacturers instructions are not available or if flammable objects are installed over the hob (e.g. cabinets, utensil rail, etc.), a minimum safety distance of (760 mm) must be maintained.

If there is more than one appliance beneath a hood (e.g. wok burner and electric cooktop), and they have different minimum safety distances always observe the greater distance.

Safety Instructions for installation

Installation

Feed the hob connection cable down through the cut-out.

Place the hob centrally in the cut-out. When doing so make sure that the seal under the cooktop sits flush with the countertop on all sides. This is important to ensure an effective seal.

(Do not use sealant).

Connect the hob to the main power supply.

Turn the hob on and check the function.

The hob must not be permanently sealed into the countertop when installed. The sealing strip under the edge of the hob provides a sufficient seal for the counter top.

If the hob is sealed into position, the countertop or appliance could be damaged if the hob needs to be removed for maintenance or service.

15

Caring for the environment

Disposal of the packing material

The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentaly friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safety and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposal of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic appliances often contain materials which , if handled or disposed of incorrectly could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your ap pliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection/recycling centre or contact your dealer for advice. Ensure that it presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

16

Before using for the first time

Cleaning the hob

Before using for the first time, clean the hob with a damp cloth and dry with a soft cloth.

Heating the hob

Metal components of the hob have a protective coating which may give off a slight odor the first time the hob is heated.

The smell will dissipate after a short time and does not indicate a faulty connection or appliance defect.

17


Touch controls

The control panel is equipped with Infrared sensor. They respond to a finger touch.

To operate the heaters, simply touch the corresponding sensor area(s). Each time a command is registered, a signal will be heard.

Be sure to touch only the desired sensor area and keep the control panel clean and clear. Otherwise, the touch controls may not respond, or unintentional com mands may be given, even causing the cooktop to switch off automatically (see

“Automatic Safety off”).

User interface initial calibration

The user interface has implemented an initial keyboard calibration focused to adapt the sensibility of the keys, to the final mechanical, environmental and user conditions.

Anytime the Cooktop is plugged or there is a power failure that generates a reset in the user interface, the first time the Key lock is touched the sensitivity of the keyboard is readjusted. This first touch of the Key Lock must be done in certain conditions:

Do not use gloves Use a clean finger Touch the glass (smooth touching)

18


Initial Light Conditions

When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the touch control conducts a cali bration process for the touch keys, which requires a low level of ambient light in the area of the touch keys.

If during this calibration process excessive ambient lighting is detected the User

Interface displays “FL” (Infrared Ambient Light Error) and the control calibration process is suspended.

In order to rectify the process any lighting that could affect the calibration process should be switched off (e.g. halogen cooker hood lighting).

The error will disappear when satisfactory ambient lighting is detected and the touch control calibration procedure will now complete satisfactorily.

Notes:

1) The “FL” error can only be generated within approx. 3s of initial power being applied to the cooktop.

2) We recommend that you switches off all cooker hood lighting and lighting di rected towards the Cooktop when power is initially applied to the Cooktop.

3) After the touch control has conducted its initial calibration process, (approx. 3s) any cooker hood or other lighting can be switched on as normal and will not affect the operation of the touch control

INDUCTION

How induction works

An induction coil is located under each heater. When a heater is switched on, this coil creates a magnetic field which impacts directly on the base of the pan and heats it up. The heater itself is heated indirectly by the heat given off by the pan.

Induction heaters only work when a magnetic based pan is placed on it (see

“Cookware”).

Induction automatically recognizes the size of the pan, i.e. heat is only generated in the area covered by the base of the pan.

The heater will not work:

~ If it is switched on without a pan in place, or if the pan is unsuitable (nonmagnetic base).

~ If the diameter of the pan is too small.

~ If the pan is taken off the heater when it is switched on.

If this happens, “u” will flash in the relevant heater display alternating with 0 or the last selected power level selected.

If a suitable pan is placed on the heater the “u” will go out and you can continue cooking as normal.

If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed on the heater, the heater and the hob will switch off automatically aft er 1 minutes.

Be careful not to place cutlery or other metal objects on the hob. When the hob is switched on, or when there is residual heat present, there is the risk of metal objects heating up quickly. Beware of burns.

Depending on the material, other objects left on the hob could also melt or catch fire. Switch the heaters off after use.

Noises

When using an induction heater, the following noises can occur in the pan, de pending on what it is made of and how it is constructed.

~ Higher power settings may cause a buzz. This will decrease or cease alto gether when the power setting is reduced.

~ If the pan is base is made of layers of different materials (e.g. a sandwiched base), a cracking sound may be heard.

~ Whistling might occur if linked burners (see “ Booster function” ) are being used on the highest setting at the same time, and the pans have bases made of layers of different materials.

~ You may hear a clicking sound from the electronic switches, especially on lower settings.

~ The hob has a cooling fan to help extend the life of the electronics. When the hob is being used at high levels for a long period of time, this will come on and you will hear a whirring sound. The fan may continue to run after the hob has been switched off.

46

Suitable pans

Cookware

Suitable pans include:

~ Stainless steel pans with a magnetic base

~ Enameled steel pans

~ Cast iron pans

~ Use always flat base pans

Unsuitable pans:

~ Stainless steel pans without a magnetic base

~ Aluminum and copper pans

~ Glass, ceramic or earthenware pots and pans

To test whether a pot or pan is suitable for use on an induction hob, hold a magnet to the base of the pan. If the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.

There is a different kind of pots and pans material in theory suitable for induction. There are a lot of very bad pots quality that change the induction cooking performance in general. The point is that there is not any standard to evaluate if the pot is suitable or not for induction technology.

Unless the pan manufacturer states that you can do so, do not use pans with very thin bases on this hob, and never heat up empty pans. This could damage the hob and cookware.

Pan size

To make optimum use of the heaters, choose cookware that fits between the in ner and outer marking of the heater. If the base diameter of the pan is smaller than the inner marking, the induction heating will not work. The heater will behave as if it had no pan on it.

Safety features

Overheating protection

The induction coils and the cooling element of the eletronic are fitted with a over heating protection feature. This prevents the induction coils and cooling element from overheating.

This mechanism works on the affected heater or on the entire hob in the following ways:

- If the booster function is being used, it will be switched off.

- If an induction coil is affected, the heater will automatically turn off. 0 and the residual heat indicator will show in the display.

The heater can used again as soon as it has cooled to a safe temperature.

- If the cooling system is affected, all heaters will automatically turn off, and the display will show 0 alternating the set power level.

Once the system has suffiencently cooled, the heaters will automatically operate at the originally set power level.

Overheating can be caused by:

- heating an empty pan.

- fats or oils being heated on the highest power setting.

- there being insufficient ventilation to the under side of the hob

If the overheating protection mechanism triggers again, contact Malloca Techini cal Service.

How the cooking zone work

Single circle cooking zones have one heating element, whilst double circle (vario) cooking zones have two.

Each cooking zone has overheating protection (a temperature limiter), which stops the ceramic surface from becoming too hot (see “Overheating protection”).

When a power level is selected, the heat switches on and the element can be seen through the ceramic surface.

The temperature of the cooking zone depends on the power level selected, and is electronically regulated. This controls the “timing” of a cooking zone, switching the element on and off.

Suitable pans

Most suitable

The best pans for use on a ceramic hob are those with a thick base which is very slightly concave when cold. When heated, the base flattens to rest evenly on the hob, optimising the conduction of the heat.

cold hot

Less suitable

Pans made of glass, ceramic or stoneware are less suitable, as they do not conduct the heat so well.

Not suitable

Dishes or containers made from plastic or aluminium foil must not be used as these melt at high temperatures.

– Aluminium pans or pans with an aluminium base can cause metallic, shiny marks to appear on the ceramic surface. These marks can be removed using a ceramic and stainless steel hob cleaner (see “Cleaning and care”).

– Do not use pots and pans on the hob with bases with pronounced edges or ridges.

These could scratch or scour the hob surface permanently.

– Lift pans into position on the hob. Sliding them into place can cause scuffs and scratches.

– Often the maximum diameter quoted by manufacturer refers to the diameter of the top rim of the pot or pan. The diameter of the base (generally smaller) is more important.

58

Tips on saving energy

- Check that the diameter of the pan base is wide enough for the cooking zone so that heat is not lost unnecessarily.

too small suitable

- Use a pan lid whenever possible to minimise heat loss.

uncovered covered

- Select a smaller pan when cooking small quantities. A small pan on a small cooking zone uses less energy than a large, partially filled pan on a large cooking zone.

- Cook with as little water as possible.

- Once food has come to the boil or the oil in the pan is hot enough for frying, reduce the heat to a lower setting.

- When cooking for a long time, switch the cooking zone off about 5 to 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. In this way, use is made of the residual heat.

- Cooking times are greatly reduced when using a pressure cooker.
