PRATICAL ADVICE FOR USING THE BURNERS

This hob has burners of different diameters. For better burner performance, please stick to the following rules:

-Use pots and pans with bottoms the same width as that of the burners or slightly larger (see table on the right).

-Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.

-Use the correct amount of water for cooking foods and keep the pot covered.

-Make sure pots on the grates do not protrude beyond the edge of the hob.

IMPORTANT: improper use of the grids can result in damage to the hob: do not position the grids upside down or slide them across the hob.

Do not use:

-Cast iron griddles, ollar stones, terracotta pots and pans.

-Heat diffusers such as metal mesh, or any other types.

-Two burners simultaneously for one receptacle (e.g. fish kettle).

WARNING

Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan.

 

 

 

IMPORTANT: WHEN THE HOB IS IN USE, THE ENTIRE HOB AREA MAY BECOME HOT.

To ignite one of the burners, turn the relative knob anti-clockwise to the maximum flame setting.

Press the knob against the control panel to ignite the burner.

After the burner has ignited, keep the knob pressed for about 5-10 seconds to allow proper device operation.

This burner safety device shuts off the gas supply to the burner if the flame goes out accidentally (because of sudden draught, an interruption in the gas delivery, boiling over of liquids, etc.).

The knob must not be pressed for more than 15 sec. If, after that time has elapsed, the burner does not remain lit, wait at least one minute before trying to light it again.

NOTE: should particular local conditions of the delivered gas make the ignition of burner difficult, it is advisable to repeat

the operation with the knob turned to small flame setting.

The burner might go out when the knob is released. This means that the safety device has not warmed up enough. In this case, repeat the operations described above.

DIMENSIONS AND DISTANCES TO BE MANTAINED (mm)

NOTE: if the distance “A” between the wall cabinets is between 600 mm and 730 mm, the height “B” must be a minimum of 530 mm.

If the distance “A” between the wall cabinets is greater than the width of the cooktop, the height “B” must be a minimum of 400 mm.

In case of installation of a hood above the cooktop, please refer to the hood instructions for the correct distance.

One of the standout features of the AKT464 is its induction cooking technology. This allows for rapid heating and precise temperature control, ensuring that cooking is not only quicker but also more energy-efficient compared to traditional gas or electric cooktops.

The AKT464 boasts four cooking zones, each equipped with individual controls. This flexibility allows users to prepare multiple dishes simultaneously, enhancing workflow in the kitchen. The cooktop also features a booster function for each zone, enabling sudden bursts of high heat, which is ideal for boiling water quickly or achieving an excellent sear on meats.

Safety is paramount in the design of this cooktop. It incorporates features such as residual heat indicators that alert users when the surfaces are still hot after cooking. Additionally, the child-lock function prevents accidental activation, making the appliance safer for households with young children.

The sleek glass-ceramic surface of the Whirlpool AKT464 not only enhances its appearance but also simplifies cleaning. Spills and splatters can be wiped away easily, as the flat surface prevents food from getting trapped in seams or between burners.

Users will also appreciate the intuitive touch controls, which make it easy to select heat levels and navigation through various settings. The digital display provides clear feedback, allowing for effortless operation.

In summary, the Whirlpool AKT464 is an innovative induction cooktop that brings together efficiency, safety, and user-friendly features.
