Overview

This document is a user manual for the Zanussi ZEI6240FBA induction hob. It provides comprehensive information on safety, installation, operation, maintenance, and technical specifications of the appliance.

Function Description

The Zanussi ZEI6240FBA is an induction hob designed for household cooking. It features multiple induction cooking zones that generate heat directly in the bottom of the cookware through a strong electromagnetic field, ensuring quick and efficient cooking. The hob is operated using sensor fields on a control panel, with displays and indicators showing the active functions and heat settings.

The appliance includes an "Automatic Switch Off" function that deactivates the hob under certain conditions, such as when all cooking zones are deactivated, no heat setting is selected after activation, spills occur on the control panel, the appliance becomes too hot, incorrect cookware is used, or a cooking zone remains active without a change in heat setting for an extended period.

Important Technical Specifications

The hob features four induction cooking zones with varying power outputs and recommended minimum cookware diameters:

  • Right rear: 180 mm, 1800 W nominal power, 145 mm minimum cookware diameter.
  • Right front: 145 mm, 1400 W nominal power, 125 mm minimum cookware diameter.
  • Left rear: 145 mm, 1400 W nominal power, 125 mm minimum cookware diameter.
  • Left front: 210 mm, 2300 W nominal power, 180 mm minimum cookware diameter.

The total induction power of the appliance is 6.9 kW. It operates on a voltage range of 220-240 V at 50-60 Hz. The model number is ZEI6240FBA, Type 55 GAD E8 AU, and Product Number 942 116 609. The appliance is manufactured in China.

For electrical connection, the manual specifies using a mains cable of type H05BB-F Tmax 90°C (or higher) for single or two-phase connections. The electrical installation must include an isolation device that can disconnect the appliance from the mains at all poles, with a minimum contact opening width of 3 mm. Approved isolation devices include line protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw type removed from the holder), earth leakage trips, and contactors.

Usage Features

The hob is activated and deactivated by touching a dedicated sensor field for 1 second. Cooking zones are selected by touching their corresponding sensor field, indicated by a dot adjacent to the heat setting display. Heat settings are adjusted using '+' and '-' sensor fields, with the display showing the current setting. Touching '+' and '-' simultaneously deactivates a cooking zone.

The manual provides a table of recommended heat settings for various cooking tasks, from keeping food warm (setting 1) to boiling large quantities of water or deep-frying (setting 9), along with suggested times and hints (e.g., using a lid, mixing).

Cookware compatibility:

  • Correct cookware: Made of cast iron, steel, enamelled steel, stainless steel, or multi-layer bottom (with manufacturer's mark).
  • Incorrect cookware: Made of aluminium, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, or porcelain.
  • A simple test for induction compatibility is to see if water boils quickly on the highest setting or if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
  • The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as possible.
  • Induction cooking zones adapt to the cookware's bottom dimension within limits.

The manual also describes normal operational noises, such as crackling, whistling, humming, clicking, and buzzing, which are not indicative of a malfunction.

Maintenance Features

Care and Cleaning:

  • Clean the appliance after each use with a moist soft cloth and neutral detergents.
  • Avoid abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads, solvents, or metal objects.
  • Immediately remove melted plastic, plastic foil, and sugary food using a special scraper at an acute angle to prevent damage.
  • Once the appliance is cool, remove limescale rings, water rings, fat stains, and shiny metallic discolorations using a special cleaning agent for glass ceramic or stainless steel.
  • After cleaning, rub the appliance dry with a clean cloth.
  • Do not use water spray or steam to clean the appliance.

Safety Instructions:

  • Do not operate the appliance with an external timer or remote-control system.
  • Unattended cooking with fat or oil can be dangerous and lead to fire. Never use water to extinguish a fire; switch off the appliance and cover the flame.
  • Do not store items on cooking surfaces.
  • Do not use a steam cleaner.
  • Metallic objects (knives, forks, spoons, lids) should not be placed on the hob surface as they can get hot.
  • If the glass ceramic surface is cracked, immediately disconnect the appliance from the power supply to prevent electric shock.
  • Switch off hob elements by their control after use; do not rely on the pan detector.
  • Users with pacemakers should maintain a minimum distance of 30 cm from induction cooking zones during operation.
  • Ensure proper ventilation space (minimum 2 mm between worktop and below unit front) during installation to prevent warranty invalidation due to inadequate ventilation.
  • A non-combustible separation panel is recommended under the appliance if installed above drawers to prevent access to the hot bottom.

Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues like inability to activate/operate the appliance, automatic deactivation, residual heat indicator not coming on, hot sensor fields, and error codes (F, E, E4). It suggests remedies such as checking cookware, cleaning the control panel, removing objects from sensor fields, and, if problems persist, contacting customer service with specific appliance data.
