The device and

its accessible parts

may heat up during

operation. Avoid tou-

ching the heating

elements. Children

younger than 8 years

old must stay away

from the hob unless

they are perma-

nently supervised.

This device may

solely be used by

children 8 years old

or older, people with

impaired physical,

sensory or mental

abilities, or those

NEVER try to extin-

guish a fire with

water! In this event

disconnect the devi-

ce and cover the fla-

mes with a lid, a pla-

te or a blanket.

Do not store any

object on the coo-

king areas of the

induction

hob.

Prevent possible fire

hazards.

The induction

generator complies

with current EU

legislation.

however

recom-

mend that anyone

fitted with a device

such as a pacemaker

should refer to their

physician, or if in

doubt abstain from

using the induction

areas.

Metal

object

such as knives,

forks, spoons and

lids may not be pla-

ced on the surface of

the hob as they may

overheat.

After use always

disconnect the hot

plate, do not simply

remove the pot or

pan. Otherwise a

malfunction

may

occur if inadver-

tently another pot or

pan is placed on it

within the detection

period. Prevent pos-

sible accidents!

If the supply

cord is damaged, it

must be replaced by

the manufacturer, its

service agent or

similarly qualified

persons in order to

avoid hazard.

WARNING: Use

only stovetop pro-

tectors designed by

appliance manufac-

turer or indicated by

the manufacturer in

the instructions for

use as adequate or

stovetop protectors

incorporated into the

device. The use of

inadequate protec-

tors can cause acci-

dents.

It is necessary to

allow the appliance

disconnection after

i n s t a l l a t i o n .

Disconnection devi-

ces must be incorpo-

rated to the fixed

electrical installa-

tion, according to

the installation regu-

lations.

Installation

Installation with cutlery drawer

If you wish to install furniture or a

cutlery drawer under the hob, a sepa-

ration board must be fitted between

the two. Accidental contact with the hot

surface of the device's housing is thus

prevented.

The board must be fitted 20 mm bene-

ath the under part of the stovetop.

Electrical connection

Before you connect the stovetop to the

mains, check that the voltage and fre-

quency match those specified on the

stovetop nameplate, which is under-

neath it, and on the Guarantee Sheet,

or if applicable on the technical data

sheet, which you must keep together

with this manual throughout the pro-

duct's service life.

Ensure that the inlet cable does not

come into contact with the induction

top housing or the oven housing, if it is

installed in the same unit.

Warning:

The electrical connection

must be properly grounded, follo-

wing current legislation, otherwise

the induction hob may malfunction.

Unusually high power surges

can damage the control system (like

with any electrical appliance).

It is advised to refrain from

using the induction hob during the

pyrolytic cleaning function in the

case of pyrolytic ovens, due to the

high temperature that this type of

device attains.

Only the TEKA official techni-

cal service can handle or repair the

appliance, including replacement of

the power cable.

Before disconnecting the hob

form the mains, we recommend

switching off the cut-off switch and

waiting for approximately 25

seconds before disconnecting from

the mains. This time is required to

allow for the complete discharge of

the electronic circuitry and thus

preclude the possibility of electric

shock from the cable terminals.

Keep

the

Guarantee

Certificate or the technical data she-

et together with the instructions

manual throughout the product's

service life. These contain impor-

tant technical information.

10 seconds the touch control will

switch off automatically.

When the touch control is activated,

you can disconnect it at any time by

touching the touch button (1), even if

it has been locked (lock function acti-

vated). The touch button (1) always

has priority to disconnect the touch

control.

ACTIVATING HOT PLATES

Once the touch control has been acti-

vated with touch key (1), the desired

hotplates can be switched on.

Select the desired power level in

the desired hot plate (from

with the touch key or (5/6).

The and touch keys are repetiti-

ve, so if you keep them pressed they

increase or decrease in a continuous

manner.

Quick switch-on at maximum power:

Press touch key (5) once. The hotpla-

te will be activated at its maximum power

(level

SWITCHING OFF THE HOTPLATE

Using the touch key

will switch off.

Quick switch-off:

Whatever the power

level setting is, by simultaneously pres-

sing touch keys and (5/6), the hot-

plate will switch to level

When a hot plate is switched off an

will appear in its power indicator, if the

glass surface of the related cooking

area is hot and there is a risk of burns.

When the temperature drops, the indi-

cator switches off (if the hob is discon-

nected), or otherwise a “-” will light up

if the hob is still connected.

SWITCHING OFF THE DEVICE

The device can be switched off at any

time by pressing the general on/off

touch key (1). In standby mode an

will appear in the areas that are hot.

The indicators for the rest of the hot-

plates will not light up.

The switching off of the device or of

each individual hotplate will be accom-

panied by a longer beep than the rest.

After use, disconnect the

device by using its control and do

not rely on the pot/pan detector.

Locking of the touch keys

of the induction hob

By using touch key lock (8) you may

lock all the touch keys of the touch

control panel. This prevents functions

from being activated accidentally and

children from playing with the controls.

Bear in mind that when the touch con-

trol is on, you can still switch it on/off

using touch key (1) even if the lock

function is activated (pilot light 9 is on).

On the other hand, if the touch control

is switched off, the locking function

does not allow the on/off touch key

(1) to be used. You must first deactiva-

te the lock.

To activate or deactivate the function,

keep touch key

(8) pressed for

about 1 second. When the function is

activated, the pilot light (9) lights up.

When all the heaters are not powered,

and one heater is temporized at zero

power level, the key-lock function is

activated after 1 minute.

Depending of the lodels, once the hob

has been turned off, and after 1 minu-

te, the key lock function is actived ligh-

ting the corresponding pilot.

Power Function

(Power concentration)

This function allows the induction plate

to be given extra power, in excess of

its nominal power. The said power

depends on the size of the hot plate

and it can reach the maximum value

allowed by the generator.

previously be selected.

Touch the touch key for the double

hot plate (7). The pilot light (14)

will switch off and the outer ring will

be disconnected.

Timer function

This function makes it easier to cook,

as you do not need to be present

throughout the process: the timed hot

plate(s) will switch off automatically

after the set time has lapsed.

With this model you can use the clock

as a timer for the hotplates for times

ranging from

minutes. All the

cooking areas can be programmed

individually. It can only be timed one

heater each time.

Timing one hotplate

Activate the clock using the touch

keys

(12/11).The indica-

tor (3) of the hotplates will display

the the

symbol.

A hot plate has to be selected befo-

re 10 seconds. The selection of a

new heater disables the previous

selection in such a way that the

timer only operates on one heater

each time. Set a power level from

using the touch keys

(5/6). It is posible for the user to

time a heater at power 0.

Enter a cooking time between

and

minutes, by using the touch keys

(12/11). With the former

the value will start at 1, whereas with

the latter it will start at 99.

The clock display of the hot plate

(15) light and the clock indicator

(10) will start to count down the time

automatically.

Once the selected cooking time has

elapsed, the heating zone being timed

is turned off and the clock emits a series

of beeps for one minute. The timer indi-

cator will display a flashing

celled.

For quick switch-off:

repeat step 1 as

above. Simultaneously pressing the

and

touch keys (11 and 12) the

timer will be disconnected.

Safety switch off function

If due to an error one or several hea-

ting zones do not switch off, the

appliance will be automatically discon-

nected after a set amount of time (see

table 2).

When the "safety switch off" function

has been triggered, a

is displayed if

the glass surface temperature is not

dangerous for the user or an

if there

is a burn risk.

Keep the control panel of the

heating areas clean and dry at all

times.

In the event of operating pro-

blems or incidents not mentioned in

this manual, disconnect the

appliance and contact the TEKA

technical service.

Suggestions and

recommendations

* Use pots or pans with thick, comple-

tely flat bottoms.

* Pots/pans with a smaller diameter

than the shown heating area are not

recommended.

* Do not slide pots and pans over the

glass because they could scratch it.

* Although the glass can take knocks

from large pots and pans without

sharp edges, try not to knock it.

* To avoid damaging the ceramic

glass surface, do not drag pots and

pans over the glass and keep the

undersides of them clean and in

good condition.

Try not to spill sugar or pro-

ducts containing sugar on the glass

as while the surface is hot these

could damage it.

Cleaning and maintenance

To keep the appliance in good condi-

tion, clean it using suitable products

and implements once it has cooled

down. This will make the job easier

and avoid the build-up of dirt. Never

use harsh cleaning products or tools

that could scratch the surface, or ste-

am-operated equipment.

Light dirt not stuck to the surface can

be cleaned using a damp cloth and a

gentle detergent or warm soapy water.

However, for deeper stains or grease

use a special cleaner for ceramic hot

plates and follow the instructions on the

bottle. Dirt that is firmly stuck due to

being burned repeatedly can be remo-

ved using a scraper with a blade.

Slight tinges of colour are caused by

pots and pans with dry grease residue

underneath or due to grease between

the glass and the pot during cooking.

These can be removed using a nickel

scourer with water or a special cleaner

for ceramic hot plates. Plastic objects,

sugar or food containing a lot of sugar

that have melted onto the surface must

be removed immediately using a scra-

per.

Metallic sheens are caused by

dragging metal pots and pans over the

glass. These can be removed by clea-

ning thoroughly using a special clea-

ner for ceramic glass hot plates,

although you may need to repeat the

cleaning process several times.

Warning:

Handle the glass scraper

carefully. The blade could cause

injury!

If you use the scraper inco-

rrectly, the blade could break and a

fragment could get caught between

the surrounding trim and the glass.

If this happens, do not try to remo-

ve it using your hands, carefully use

tweezers or a knife with a fine edge.

(See fig. 3)

Only use the blade on the

ceramic surface, avoiding the scra-

per casing coming into contact with

the glass because this could

scratch it.

Use blades in perfect condi-

tion. Immediately replace the blade

if it is damaged in any way.

After you have finished with

the scraper, withdraw the blade and

lock it. (See fig. 4)

A pot or pan may become

stuck to the glass due to a product

having melted between them. Do not

try to lift the pot while the heating

zone is cold! This could break the

glass.

Do not step on the glass or

lean on it as it could break and cau-

se injury. Do not use the glass as a

surface for placing objects.

detailed information about recycling

this product, please contact your

local authority, household waste

service or the store where you pur-

chased the product.

The packaging materials used are

environmentally-friendly and can be

recycled completely. Plastic compo-

nents are marked >PE<, >LD<,

>EPS<, etc. Dispose of packaging

materials, like household waste, in

your local container.

If something does not work

Before calling the technical service,

perform the verifications described

below.

The appliance does not work:

Ensure that the power cable is plugged

in.

The induction zones do not produce

heat:

The container is not appropriate (it

does not have a ferromagnetic bottom

or is too small). Check that the bottom

of the container attracts a magnet, or

use a larger container.

A humming is heard when starting

to cook in the induction zones:

With containers which are not very thick

or not of one piece, the humming results

from the transmission of energy directly

to the bottom of the container. The hum-

ming is not a defect, but if you wish to

avoid it anyway, reduce the power level

slightly or use a container with a thicker

bottom, and/or of one piece.

The touch control does not light up

or, despite lighting, does not res-

pond:

No heating zone has been selected.

Be sure to select a heating zone befo-

re operating it.

There is humidity on the sensors,

and/or your fingers are wet. Keep the

touch control surface and/or your fin-

gers clean and dry.

The locking function is activated.

Unlock the controls.

The sound of a fan is heard while

cooking, which continues even after

cooking has ended:

The induction zones have a fan to

keep the electronics cool. This only

operates when the electronic circuits

get hot. It stops again when the circuits

cool whether the hob is turned on or

not.

The power indicator of a hotplate

alternates between ‘Power and ‘?’:

The induction system does not find a

pot or pan on a hotplate.

The pot or pan used is of an unsuited

type. Switch off the hob, switch it on

again and try with another pot or pan.

The power indicator of a hotplate

alternates between ‘H’ or ‘Power’

and ‘C’:

Excessive temperature in the electro-

nics or on the glass. Wait for a while for

the electronics to cool down or remove

the pot or pan so that the glass can

cool.
