1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1 - Proper Installation - Be sure your appliance is properly grounded and installed by a qualified technician. 2 - Never Use your Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room. 3 - Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. 4 - Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using the appliance. 5 - Servicing the Appliance - Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician. 6 - Storage in or on Appliance - Flammable materials should not be stored near surface units. 7 - Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. 8 - Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. 9 - Use Proper Cooking Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with several, differently sized, induction elements. Select cookwares having flat bottoms, large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. Proper size pots and pans will also improve efficiency. 10 - DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. 4

1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 11 - Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury. 12 - Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings - Boil-over causes smoking and greasy spillovers could ignite. 13 - Do not use aluminum foil, aluminum liners or aluminum containers on the unit. 14 - Cookware Handles Should Be Turned inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, the handle of a cookware should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units. 15 - Do Not Cook On Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately. 16 - Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. CAUTION Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above or around the cooktop. Children climbing on the cooktop to reach items could be seriously injured. 5

2 INSTALLATION To install the cooktop, cut out a rectangular opening in the counter as shown on the drawing and table below. Also, ensure that you have a minimum of 13/8 of space in the back of the unit, between the rim and backsplash on your counter (or wall if no backsplash) for ventilation. A self-adhesive gasket is supplied with your unit. Before setting the cooktop in place install this gasket by sticking it underneath the rim. Apply the gasket only along the front rim and on both sides. Do not put this gasket on the rim in the back. This gasket will prevent most of the spills from entering the cabinet below and will keep the unit in place. Once the gasket is installed, place the cooktop in the opening and lay it on the rim. Do this carefully - do not drop the unit into the cut-out. Make sure that the unit is sitting properly on its rim all around the perimeter. If your counter is produced from porous materials which tends to swell if in contact with humidity and water, use proper sealants on the edge which would prevent any penetration of humidity and water. Cut away all exposed edges of decorative laminates to prevent further chipping. Round corners of the cut-out and file them to ensure smooth edges and prevent corner cracking. Rough edges and inside corners which are not rounded as well as forced fits can contribute to cracking of counter top laminate.

2.1 INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS If you are receiving the unit from a transportation company, it is the customer s obligation to inspect the package and note any damage on the delivery receipt. After delivery, have your induction cooktop carefully unpacked, and again check forany visible damage. If you find any damage on the unit at this point, immediately inform your dealer or distributor. Although the responsibility for shipping lies with the carrier, your dealer/ distributor will assist you with your claim. If the unit is not going to be installed for some time, you should keep it in its original packaging and store it in a dry and safe place. Read through the section of this manual which pertains to installation, and make sure that all of the requirements can be provided or are already provided. Ensure that your electric power supply is correct. Before you install the unit, you should take a moment to write down the information from the nameplate and fill-out the table on page 17 for future after-sale servicing needs. This information will be required every time you call for any service on your unit. 7

2.2 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS IFA-80AL cooktop electrical characteristics are: Operating voltage... 240 V ~ 60 Hz Total energy consumption... 5600 W Connect to... 240 V, 60 Hz, 2 Pole+G, 30 A minimum supply, (3 conductors #10 AWG) Electrical wiring information An adequate electrical supply must be provided for this unit. All wire connections and grounding must be done in accordance with local electrical codes, or if these codes are not established, then with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 in the US, or with the Canadian Electrical Code, CAN/CSA C22.1, in Canada. This unit comes equipped with three connection wires in a flexible conduit. The conduit must be routed and properly connected to an approved, owner-supplied, electrical, wall junction-box. An approved connector must be used for connecting the conduit to the junction box. A three wire, 2 poles, 240 V, 60 Hz service with minimum 30 A circuit protector must be provided. The red and the black wire from the unit are to be connected to the service ( hot ) wires, and the green wire is to be connected to the ground conductor. The circuit protector for the unit should be properly marked inside electric panel and anybody using the unit, or technician servicing the unit, should be advised of circuit protector s location, so that the power to the unit can be disconnected if necessary. Once the unit is properly fitted and connected to the electrical power supply, turn the unit on to ensure that all elements and controls are operating well. Note that your unit is designed for a stabile and steady 240 V supply.the manufacturer, its distributors and dealers cannot be held responsible for any unit malfunction due to an inadequate electrical supply (inadequate cable size, low voltage, power surge, etc). Furthermore, if your residence has only a 208 V supply system, and if the voltage frequently fluctuates, your cooktop may not function properly 240 V Connect the 3 wires as per the following color code Red Black Phase 2 L Phase 1 L Ground Green It is recommended that the connection to an electrical supply be done by a qualified electrician. If there is any visible physical damage on the conduit and the wires, the unit must not be connected to the electric power. A qualified electrician or approved service agent should be called in to replace the wires and the conduit. 8

2.3 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Cabinet above Cross Section A minimum vertical clearance of 30 is required between the top of the cooking surface and the bottom of any unprotected combustible material, such as cabinets, wooden trim, etc. Air intake 3/8 Exhaust 30 IFA-80AL Cabinet below Minimum Clearance Requirements 2 In the back, leave a minimum of 3/8 between the cooktop edge and adjacent vertical surfaces (backsplash, wall, high cabinets, etc.). This space is needed for the unit to breath properly. If a downdraft ventilation system is used,a minimum of 1/4 of clearance is required between the rear edge of the cooktop and the downdraft pipe. Leave a minimum of 2 underneath the unit for the air intake. During cooking, a built-in fan inside the cooktop will operate constantly to keep the internal components cool. The air intake is on the bottom of the cooktop box, and the warm air exhaust is located on the back of the rim, as shown on the schematic. If the air intake or the exhaust are obstructed, the cooktop safeties will either shut down the power output or shut down the unit. We suggest that you should periodically check that there are no objects (dust, paper, etc.) which could obstruct the air intake under your induction cooktop. Although the induction-cooktop heat rejection is minimal and the unit does not create any fumes in operation, such a unit must be installed underneath a properly sized ventilation hood for exhausting any smells, vapor and smoke created by cooking foods. Also, a proper downdraft system can be used for ventilation. The unit must be installed so that it can be pulled out without difficulty from the cut-out for servicing or cleaning. Your cooktop must always have adequate circulation. Make sure that the air intake and its exhaust are not obstructed. 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 or jam the unit inside its cut-out. 9

2.4 BEFORE FIRST USE Your induction-cooking unit has been designed for residential use and food preparation, and all of the safety parameters have been listed accordingly. The unit incorporates numerous safety devices and controls. A few simple devices will be mentioned here. A number of sensors monitor the temperature of the internal components. If any of these sensors detect that the component temperature is above the limit, the power output of the unit will automatically be reduced, allowing the component to cool down. Once this is achieved, the unit will continue to operate normally at the output level set initially by the operator. Each induction burner is equipped with a sensor which is continuously monitoring the temperature of the bottom of the pan to prevent the pan from overheating. Each induction burner is equipped with a pan sensing device. This device will not allow the heating element to turn on unless it senses cookware on the burner covering enough surface area. The indication that the burner is not running is the flashing of the digital display. Once the pan is put properly on the burner, the digital display will become steady. Note that a small object such as a fork, a spoon, a piece of jewelry, etc. will not be mistaken for cookware, and it will not trigger this sensor. Moreover, this device will distinguish between cookwares which are and are not suitable for induction cooking. If cookware which is not suitable for induction cooking is placed on a burner there will be no power output on the burner. If an operator leans on the keypad by chance for more then ten seconds, controls will disable the heating section of the unit. This occurrence is called long press and when it happens - signs will appear on power displays. The unit will act the same if there is an accumulation of some liquid on the keypad area, or if a damp cloth is left sitting on the keypad. The section will become operational again once the spill or the object/hand is removed, and the element turned back on. In an effort of constantly improving our products, we reserve the right to make any changes to internal components, as well as, to make any (cosmetic) modifications to the outside frame. This unit does not contain any asbestos or asbestos-based components. This unit has been tested and certified under FCC part 15 and CFR Title 47, Part 18, for electromagnetic interference. The users with heart pacemakers must consult with the pacemaker manufacturer prior to using this cooktop which incorporates an induction heating source. If a crack appears in the glass surface, disconnect the unit immediately to avoid any risk of electric shock. If the unit is connected directly to supply inside a junction box, then disconnect its breaker or remove the fuses manually. Do not re-use your cooktop until the glass top is changed. When cooking, never use aluminum foil and never place products wrapped in aluminum foil, nor products deep-frozen in aluminum packs on a hot cooktop surface. Aluminum foil could melt and damage vitroceramic glass surface beyond repair. 10

3 FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF COOKING BY INDUCTION When an induction element - also called: a heating zone, or simply: a burner - is switched on, the appropriate cookware is used, and a desired level of heating power is selected, the electronic circuit unit ( induction generator or inverter ) powers up the induction burner which creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field continuously changes in terms of frequency and intensity, which creates induced currents in the bottom of the cookware and ultimately results in heat. The heat is transferred directly to the food being cooked. Thus, induction heat makes the cookware a direct source of heat, featuring a high level of efficiency with extremely low energy loss and unparalleled heating level control. A B C Induction burner Inverter Induced currents With induction cooking there is very little heating inertia. Induction cooking elements do not incorporate a heat generating element, (unlike convectional electric rings, halogen or radiant elements etc.) therefore, heat levels can be changed very quickly. 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. Induction cooking elements are sensitive to the cookware type being used : if the cookware is fully removed from the burner, the power output will be instantaneously reduced to 0.Eventually, the controls will turn the element off after a minute, unless the cookware is returned back onto the burner. When compared to the other methods of cooking, induction cooking has a very low level of ambient heat. This makes cooking more pleasurable with a reduced need for ventilation. Finally, the vitroceramic glass as a cooking surface barely becomes hot and this makes cleaning much easier. if there is no cookware placed on the burner, or if the cookware is not of induction grade, there will be no power emitted by the burner. if the cookware is placed partially on the burner, or if it is smaller than the burner, the internal sensors will reduce power to the burner. For a proper choice of cookwares, please refer to Cookware for Your Induction Unit When using induction elements, some cookwares may produce faint humming sound. This is a normal occurrence - the noise is a result of vibrations caused by induced currents. 11

B Power - + touch controls. A B D D Power pre-select touch controls. POWERING ON Press the start/stop touch control for the zone you want to use. A flashing "0" indicates that the zone is on. You can then choose the desired power level. If you do not select a power level, the cooking zone will automatically shut off. ADJUSTING THE POWER Press the + or - power touch controls or pre-select touch controls. Touch Display Setting Use 6 medium low heat 10 high moderate heat 12 maximum maximum heat For simultaneous cooking, is recommended the use of cooking zones located on opposite sides of the hob. Cook on the same side of a cooking zone at maximum power results in an automatic limitation of the other cooking zone on that side, which is indicated in the power level display. 12

4.3 COOKWARE FOR YOUR INDUCTION UNIT Induced current can be created only in materials which have magnetic properties. Thus, cookware for use with an induction unit must be made from a ferromagnetic material or have inserts with magnetic properties. Your household may already have cookware suitable for induction cooking, and you can test any cookware with an induction element. Incorporated controls are able to recognize suitable cookware. To perform a cookware test: - Turn an element on and adjust power to any level. You will notice that the digital power display is flashing. - Place your cookware on the burner. If the piece being tested is suitable for induction cooking, the display will become steady. However, if it keeps flashing, the cookware cannot be used on your induction unit. - If the cookware is empty, remove it from the burner immediately after you have done the test and turn the element OFF. Another simple test to determine if a piece of cookware can be used on an induction cooktop is the magnet test. Use a magnet and place it on the cookware. If the magnet sticks to it, the piece will work with induction. Cookware compatible with induction units are: Cookware made of enamel coated steel with or without a non-stick coating. Cast iron cookware with or without enamel coated base. Stainless steel pots and pans designed for induction cookware. Note: Stainless steel used for cookware is nonmagnetic, in most cases, and unsuitable for induction cooking, but most manufacturers make such cookware in layers for better heat distribution, and a good number of such pots and pans can be used with induction. To make sure if a stainless steel cookware can be used perform the cookware test. Use of cookware with enameled coated base will prevent the glass top of your unit from getting scratched. Pots and pans which do not have a flat bottom still may be used, however they should not be overly deformed. Cookware made from glass, ceramic, earthenware, aluminum and copper pots and pans and non-magnetic stainless steel cookware are not suitable for induction cooking. Cookware with thick flat bases should be chosen for the benefit of uniform heat distribution. Never leave an empty piece of cookware on an induction heating element for more then a few seconds. If a cookware is left on an element at full power, the temperature of the dish may increase rapidly and the safeties will not engage. This may damage your cookware, the cooktop, and could result in an injury or damage to your property. 13

To check the suitability of your cookware: Place the vessel on a cooking zone at power level 4. If the display remains on, your cookware is compatible. If the display flashes, your cookware cannot be used with induction cooking. You can also use a magnet to test the cookware: If a magnet "sticks" to the bottom of the cookware, it is compatible with induction. 4.4 HEATING ZONES, BURNER SIZES & COOKWARE WHICH COOKING ZONE SHOULD YOU USE BASED ON YOUR COOKWARE? Cooking zone Diameter A 6 1/2 4... 7 7 4 3/4... 8 1/2 9 7... 9 1/2 4.5 MATCHING POTS & PANS WITH BURNERS Small elements (6 1/2 ) are best utilized: - With small cookware - but normally not smaller then 10 cm (4 ) - For slow cooking and simmering (sauces, creams, etc.) - For cooking small quantities of food. Large elements (9 ) are primarily designed for day-to-day cooking needs and most commonly used pans, 7 to 9 1/2 in diameter. When cooking large quantities of food, it is always better to use a large diameter pan and a larger burner. More efficient heat distribution will be achieved and food will cook evenly. 14

4.6 POWER SHARING Under the pretense that only one zone is used with an adequate cookware covering the whole surface of the burner, and that power on the zone is adjusted to the maximum ( 12 ): - the maximum power output of 9 heating zone is 2.8 kw; - the maximum power output of 6 1/2 heating zone is 2.0 kw. If only one burner is employed, it can be utilized at its maximum power, but as soon as the other burner is turned on, the controls adjust the power on both burners automatically for power sharing. This power sharing is administered by the unit s microprocessors, which will alternate the power between the two elements. There are two factors affecting improved power sharing on your cooktops. The first is the application of an improved technology for power sharing - not using common relays, but rather semiconductors which makes power sharing quicker, thus more efficient. The second factor is that, when in a power-sharing mode, two zones can share full, 3.6 kw, power output of the inverter. Note that the controls will not allow both zones to operate at full power, and the power will be adjusted automatically - e.g. if the power on one zone is adjusted to a maximum, and the other zone is turned on and power level also adjusted to its maximum, the power level on the first zone will automatically become lower. This change will be visible on digital displays. The controls are set in such a manner that the last instruction (command) given to an element is always a priority. 4.7 TO DO OR NOT TO DO - Always place your cookware such that its center is aligned with the center of the burner. - Avoid hitting the glass with cookware or any hard objects. The glass surface is highly resistant but not unbreakable. - Pick-up your cookware when moving them around. Do not slide them and avoid excessive rubbing of the top, as this leaves scratches and erases the markings. - Avoid using cookware with rough or deformed bottoms. - Avoid leaving any metal cooking accessories, knives and forks, or metal objects on the a hot cooktop surface. They may get hot if left close to any heating element in use. - Avoid storing flammable products in the cabinets under your cooktop. - Never leave empty cookware on an induction heating element, even when the element is turned OFF. - Only use maximum power for boiling and frying. - Never try heating up a closed can. - Avoid pre-heating your non-stick pans (e.g. with teflon coating) at maximum heat. - Avoid storing solid and heavy items in the cabinets above your cooktop. They may unintentionally drop and damage the glass. Do not connect any appliances to the plugs above or near to the induction cooktop; connection cable insulation can melt if in contact with heat, and this may result in an injury and property damage. Your cooktop must never be used as a storage space or surface for piling up of any material. 15

5 CARE AND CLEANING Cleaning of an induction cooktop is easy. Read and follow these recommendations: Minor TYPE OF STAINS/SPOTS Accumulated burnt-on stains. Rings and traces of lime scale. Burn-on stains following sugar spillage, melted aluminium or plastic. WHAT TO DO Soak the area to be cleaned with soapy water; then wipe it clean. Soak the area to be cleaned with warm soapy water. Use a special scraper for glass to remove grease and food particles. Finish off with a cleaning sponge; then wipe it clean. Apply warm white vinegar on the stain. Leave to penetrate, then wipe off with a soft cloth. or Use a commercial cleaner on affected area. Note that such cleaner may leave stains on stainless steel frame, protect exposed stainless steel. Apply special glass cleaner on the surface, preferably one which contains silicone (protective action). Leave to penetrate. Finish off with a cleaning sponge; then wipe it clean. CLEANING AGENTS Cleaning sponges & mild detergents Cleaning sponges, mild detergents and cleaning agents for glass Cleaning cloth,white vinegar, or diluted de-liming agent. Glass cleaning agents and sponge. Nonabrasive Paste Ordinary Sponge or Special Sponge for Delicate Items Powder Abrasive-backed sponge 16

6 TROUBLESHOOTING If you have questions about whether your cooktop surface is working correctly, check the following points. PROBLEM POSIBLE CAUSE WHAT SHOULD YOU DO? When you switch the unit on, the supply-line breaker trips off or the supply-line fuse burns. When you switch the unit on, only one side of the cooktop surface works. The fans keep running for a few minutes after the unit has been switched off. The top of the unit is always warm (even when it is switched off). The cooktop surface makes a faint clicking noise when in operation. The unit doesn t work at all. After turning an element ON and having cookware placed on the burner, there is no heat and the digital indicator continues to flash. Cookware makes noise during cooking. The cooktop surface gives off a smell when first used for cooking. Your unit may be connected incorrectly or there is an internal problem. There is an internal problem with the unit. The electronics are cooling down. The electronic components are under power and they create heat. The noise occurs when the power is being shared between two induction burners. There may be a power supply or internal problem.
