User manual FAGOR MH-26

[. . . ] 4 - Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. 5 - User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. 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. [. . . ] 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 50 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 when 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 and the manufacturer, its distributors and dealers cannot be held 8 ·240 V Connect the 3 wires as per the following colour code Green Red Black Phase 2 Phase 1 L L 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 It is recommended that the connection to electrical supply is 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 mains. 10 Glass Top, Coil Size and Controls 16 cm(6" 1/2) 50 W à 2200 W 22 cm (9") 50 W à 2800 W 28 cm 50 W à 3600 W Cooking zone Control zone 22 cm (9") 50 W à 2800 W 16 cm (6" 1/2) 50 W à 2200 W · DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL · POWERING ON PANEL Press the start/stop touch control for the zone you want to use. If you do not select a power level, the cooking zone will automatically shut off. A B D · ADJUSTING THE POWER Press the + or - power touch controls. D Power pre-select touch controls. medium low heat high moderate heat Maximum maximum For simultaneous use, favour the use of cooking zones located on opposite sides of the hob. On the same side, the use 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. 11 Tip · WHICH COOKING ZONE SHOULD YOU USE BASED ON YOUR COOKWARE? · POWER SHARING Under the pretense that only one zone is used with an adequate utensil covering the whole surface of the coil, and that power on the zone is adjusted to the maximum (`12'): - the maximum power output of 22 cm (9") heating zone is 2. 8 kW; - the maximum power output of 16 cm (6 1/2") heating zone is 2. 2 kW. If only one coil is employed, it can be utilized at its maximum power, but as soon as the other coil is turned on, the controls adjust the power on both coils automatically for `power sharing'. This power sharing is administered by unit's microprocessors, which will alternate 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. [. . . ] If a utensil is left on an element at full power, temperature of the dish may increase rapidly, the safeties would not engage, and this may damage your utensil, the cooktop, and could result in an injury or a damage to your property. 13 To Do or Not To Do You must: - Always place your utensil such that its center is aligned with the centre of the coil. - Avoid hitting the vitroceramic glass with utensils or any hard objects - the glass surface is highly resistant but not unbreakable. Do not slide them and avoid excessive rubbing of the top, as this leaves scratches and erases the markings . [. . . ]
