product operating instruction
E.G.O. Germany (E.G.O. Elektro-Gerätebau GmbH)
document id.: 90.60160.286-001-04-A / state: 230 - released
designation: Induction Gx
2.3.22 Insufficient glass ceramic material
A use of insufficient glass ceramic material could lead to a damage of the glass itself, an electric shock
or burning hazard.
Use glass ceramic with a thickness of 4 mm.
Additional materials are not allowed in general.
2.3.23 Sharp edges
Packaging materials, electronic circuit boards, components of Gx induction generators or user
interfaces (e.g., soldered points or board edges) could have sharp edges. Furthermore, the micanite
and other components of the coil and the mounting plate of Gx induction heating systems could have
sharp edges. People can cut themselves into hands or fingers.
Wear safety gloves during transport and installation.
2.3.24 Weight
Induction system and components (e.g., generator…) could have a high weight. Within the handling of
induction systems, modules or components, people can squeeze arms and hands. If these inductions
fall, people may injure their feet. Furthermore, people can underestimate the weight and transport too
high weight for their specific body properties. This could lead to physical stress.
Handle induction products with care.
Heavy induction components and systems must be carried by several persons.
2.3.25 Damage of the wires
Sharp edges or burs at the mounting plate or other aluminum sheets can damage wires. Damaged
wires could lead to an electric shock hazard.
The mounting plate must be free of burs and sharp edges or use other protection methods (e.g.,
edge protection).
2.3.26 Moving of inductors
A subsequent moving of inductors on the mounting plate of a Gx heating system is not allowed. By
component delivery of inductors, it must be considered that user interfaces – especially those ones with
SmartKii technology – are sensitive for overtemperatures. A wrong placement could lead to a damage
of the user interface or burns.
When going beyond the recommended minimum distances, make sure that the:
– sensitivity of the touch buttons is not influenced significantly
– not to exceed the max. allowed temperature for the user interface (see customer documentation
of the corresponding user interface for more details)
– not to exceed the max. allowed temperature on the glass ceramic’s surface above the user
interface (60 °C according to EN 60335 section 11.7).
2.3.27 Mounting plate construction
A component delivery is not including a mounting plate in the scope of delivery.
When designing mounting plates, it must be secured that conductive parts like fixation pins, screws
or nuts get not in touch with components on the printed circuit boards and the air and creepage
distances are kept. This is especially valid for the chokes and capacitors.
