    NSTALLATION Connecting the plate to the electrical system Note! The plate can be connected to the mains only by a qualified certified installer. Wilful adaptations or modifications to the electric system are prohibited. Guidelines for the installer The plate is provided with a terminal box enabling selection of proper connections for the given type of power supply. The terminal box enables the following types of connection: ­ one­phase 230 V ­ ­ two­phase 400 V2N~ The plate can be connected to the appropriate power supply by adequate bridging on the connection strip, in accordance with the attached wiring diagram. The wiring diagram is also provided in the bottom part of the lower cover. The connection strip can be accessed once the cover on the terminal box is removed. Please remember to match the mains connection cable to the type of connection and the rated power of the plate.

  • Page 12: Operation

    OPERATION Before first use • carefully clean the ceramic plate treating it as a glass surface, • when used for the first time the plate can give off a bit of a smell so switch on the ventilation system or open the window, • operate the plate observing the safety instructions. Inductive hotplate – principles of operation Electric generator supplies power to a coil located inside the appliance. As the coil generates magnetic field, in- duced currents permeable to a pot placed on the plate. The currents make the pot a true heat transmitter while the glass surface of the plate remains cold. The system provides for the usage of pots with bottoms susceptible to magnetic field.
  • Page 13: Pot Detector

    OPERATION Pot detector The pot detector is installed in plates equipped with the inductive field system. During opera- tion the pot detector automatically starts or stops the production of heat once a pot is put or removed from the plate, saving energy. • If appropriate pot is used there is a heat level indicated on the display. • Induction requires the use of well­matched pots with bottoms made of magnetic material (see Table page 14). If a pot has not been put on the hotplate or improper pot has been used, the sign will be displayed. The hotplate will not switch on. If no pots are detected within 10 minutes, the switching on operation is cancelled.
  • Page 14 OPERATION Energy is well generated when the dimensions of a pot are equal to an induction cooktop. The shortest and longest diameters are presented in the table below and they depend on the quality of a dish. Induction cooktop Diameter of the bottom of a pot for induction cooking. Diameter (mm) Minimum (mm) Maximum (mm) While using smaller pots than the minimum diameters, the induction cooktop may not work.
