1. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1.1 Cooking containers
Only use pans that carry the
Important:
to avoid permanent damage to the hob surface, do not use:
• containers with a base that is not perfectly flat;
• metal containers with an enamelled base;
• containers with a rough base, to avoid scratching the hob
surface;
• never place hot pots and pans on the surface of the hob's
control panel.
Not all pans suitable for induction work in an efficient manner
due to the base only partially consisting of ferromagnetic
material! When purchasing pots or pans ensure that:
• that the base is made entirely from ferromagnetic material. If
this is not the case, the efficacy of the transmission of heat is
lessened and the uniformity of heat and the temperature of
the pot/pan may not be suitable for cooking.
• The base does not contain aluminium: the crockery does not
heat and may not be recognised by the inductors.
•
Bases that are not flat or that have rough surfaces.
These lower the contact surface area between the inductor
and the pan, lowering efficiency and harming the cooking
experience.
Important: never put hot pots or pans on the hob control panel
surface.
1.1.1 Pre-existing containers
You can check if the pot material is magnetic simply by using a
magnet. Pots are not suitable if they are not magnetically
detectable. The indications from the previous paragraph also
apply here.
symbol.

1.1 .2 Recommended pot bottom diameters
IMPORTANT: if the pots are not of the correct size, the
cooking zones will not switch on.
To see the minimum pot diameters for each individual zone,
consult the illustrated section of this manual.
1.1.3 Instructions for cooking
To obtain the best results we recommend:
• Using pots and pans with a bottom diameter equal to that of
the cooking zone.
• Where possible, keep the cover on the pan during cooking
and in particular on pans with a height greater than 22 cm.
• Position the pan in the centre of the cooking zone indicated
on the hob.
2. USING THE EXTRACTOR
The extraction system can be used as a suction version with an
external exhaust or a filter version with internal recirculation.
Consult the website www.elica.com and www.shop.elica.com
to view the full range of available kits for carrying out the
various installations in filter and suction versions.
2.1 Suction Version
Vapours are exhausted outside via a series of pipes (to be
purchased separately).
Connect the product to wall-mounted exhaust pipes and holes
with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connecting flange).
For more information on the pipes and their dimensions see the
page relating to accessories in the installation manual - Suction
version.
The use of pipes and discharge holes in the wall with a smaller
diameter will lead to a reduction in suction performance and a
drastic noise increase.
All responsibility in this regard is therefore denied.
For maximum suction efficiency:
!
We recommend a maximum pipe route length of 7 linear
metres.
!
We recommend using at most two 90° curves for 7 linear
metres of piping
!
Avoid drastic changes in the sections of pipework, always
prefer using sections equivalent of Ø 150 mm (or
rectangular 222 × 89 mm).
2.2 Filter version
The extracted air will be filtered in special grease filters and
odour filters before being sent back into the room. The product
is supplied with all parts necessary for standard installation,
with the air outlet positioned in the front part of the cabinet
plinth. The product comes with a set of odour filters. For more
information, see the page relating to accessories in the
installation manual - Filter version.
