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.
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.
Safety Instructions for installation Safety distance above the hob The minimum safety distance given by the hood manufacturer must be main- tained between the hob and the hood above it. See the installation instructions of the hood for these safety measurements. installed over the hob (e.g.

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”...

How induction works An induction coil is located under each heater. When a heater is switched on, this 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”).
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.
Suitable pans Cookware Suitable pans include: ~ Stainless steel pans with a magnetic base ~ Enameled steel pans ~ Cast iron 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.

Turning on the hob Put a pot or pan on the desired heater. The Cooktop is switched ON by touching the key for 1 sec. A beep sounds and all the heater displays show a ‘0’ If the selection of a cook set for a heater is not done in 10 seconds, the Cooktop will be turned off automatically.
Selecting a power level for a heater Once the heater is selected, the power level can be selected by touching the Slider. Each position over the slider surface corresponds to a cooking level. The power level selection is done by sliding the finger or by placing the finger on a specific position of the slider surface.
Page 31
Stop & Go Function The Stop and Go function allows temporary pausing of the cooking process, allowing the users to answer the door or the telephone without worrying that the water is boiling over. This function is also useful to clean the user interface surface without changing the cooking set up.
Page 32
Timer It is possible for the user to set a switch off time for all heaters at any power level. The timer value can be selected between 1 and 99 minutes. The timer last minute will be displayed in seconds. keys will be locked: If the Cooktop is off, or if the key lock is activated (KEYLOCK LED on).
Safety Features Child Safety Lock Touching the key for 1 second, the key lock function is activated and deactivated. If the LED associated to the key lock key is on, the keyboard is locked. The locking function can be activated when the heaters are on or when the cook top is off.
Safety Features Automatic Safety Off Protection from accidental activation of keys If any key/s is maintained pressed for a more than 10 seconds, the cooktop is switched off automatically. A warning beep sounds every 10 sec., while the key/s is/are activated. Heater auto switch off in a specific time After maximum time of operation at the same power level (see the table below) the heater is switched off automatically.
0 alternating the set power level. 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. If the overheating protection mechanism triggers again, contact Malloca Techini- cal Service.
Safety features Overheating protection Each zone is equipped with overheating protection (internal temperature limiter). This switches off the heating elements in the cooking zone before the ceramic surface overheats. If the heating element switches on and off even when the highest power level is selected, this indicates that the overheating protection mechanism has triggered.
