Start-Up & Use - Indesit VIX644CE Service Information

Indesit Company
START-UP & USE
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the appliance, which is indicated on the data
plate located on the appliance itself.
• The voltage falls within the range of values indicated on the data plate.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug,
ask an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply cable and the electrical socket must be easily
accessible.
The cable must not be bent or compressed.
The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by authorised technicians only.
The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed.
Do not remove or replace the power supply cable for any reason. Its removal or replacement will void
the warranty and the CE marking. INDESIT does not assume liability for accidents or damage arising
from replacement/removal of the original power supply cable. Replacement can only be accepted
when carried out by personnel authorised by INDESIT and using an original spare part.
The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we
recommend you remove these with a special non-abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours
of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.
A few seconds after the hob is connected to the electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may
now be switched on.
Types of Noise During Normal Hob Operation:
• Buzz: due to the vibration of the metallic parts that make up the induction element and the pot; it is
generated by the electromagnetic field required for heating and increases as the power of the
induction element increases.
• Soft whistle: heard when the pot placed on the heating zone is empty; the noise disappears once
food or water is placed into the pot.
• Crackle: produced by the vibration of materials on the bottom of the pot due to the flow of parasitic
currents caused by electromagnetic fields (induction); can be more or less intense depending on
the material making up the bottom of the pot, and decreases as the pot dimensions increase.
• Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements of the same group function simultaneously at
maximum power and/or when the booster function is set on the larger element while the other is
auto-adjusted. Noise is reduced by decreasing the power level of the auto-adjusted induction
element; pot bottom layers made of different kinds of materials are among the main causes
• Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob functions correctly and to safeguard the electronic
unit from possible overheating. It works at average power depending on the temperature detected.
Furthermore, the fan may continue to work even after switching the hob off, if the temperature
detected is high.
The types of noise listed above are due to induction technology and are not necessarily operational
faults.
If the (-) or (+) button is pressed for an extended period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the
power levels and timer minutes.
