Energy Saving - Elica NIKOLATESLA FIT Montage- Und Gebrauchsanweisungen

Important: never put hot pots or pans on the hob control
panel surface.
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.
Recommended pan 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.

Energy saving

Recommendations for best results:
- Use pots and pans with a bottom diameter equal to that of
the cooking zone.
- Use only pots and pans with flat bottoms.
- Where possible, keep the lid on pots during cooking
- Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with a minimal amount of
water to reduce cooking time.
- Use a pressure cooker, as it further reduces the energy
consumption and cooking time
- Place the pot in the centre of the cooking zone outlined on
the hob.
Using the hob
The induction cooking system is based on the physical
phenomenon of magnetic induction. The main characteristic of
this system is the direct transfer of energy from the generator
to the pot.
Advantages:
When compared to electric hobs, your induction hob is:
- Safer: lower temperature on the glass surface.
- Faster: shorter food heating times.
- More accurate: the hob immediately reacts to your
commands
- More efficient: 90% of the absorbed energy is transformed
into heat. Moreover, once the pot is removed from the hob,
heat transmission is immediately interrupted, avoiding
unnecessary heat losses.
Using the extractor fan
The extraction system can be used in two versions: external
extraction and evacuation or as a filter with internal
recirculation.

to view the full range of available kits for carrying out the
various installations in filter and suction versions.
The fumes are evacuated towards the outside through a

series of pipes (bought separately) fastened to the supplied
connecting flange.
The diameter of the exhaust pipe must be equivalent to the
diameter of the connecting ring:
- for rectangular outlets 222 x 89 mm
- for circular outlets Ø 150 mm (*)
For more information, see the page relative to the extraction
version in the illustrated part of this manual. Connect the
product to wall-mounted exhaust pipes and holes with a
diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connecting flange).
Using wall-mounted exhaust pipes and holes with a smaller
diameter may reduce the efficiency of extraction and
drastically increase noise levels.
All responsibility in this regard is therefore denied.
Keep duct as short as possible.
Use ducting with the least possible number of curves
(maximum angle: 90°).
Avoid drastic changes in the ducting diameter.
The extracted air will be filtered in special grease filters and
odour filters before being sent back into the room. For more
information, see the page relating to accessories in the
installation manual - Filter version.
Warning: If the outlet is inside the cabinet, create an air
vent through the plinth panel measuring at least 120cm
