1.  Before You Start...

Thank you for buying a Falcon cooker. It should give you 
many years of trouble-free cooking if installed and operated 
correctly. It is important that you read this section before you 
start, particularly if you have not used an induction cooker 
before.

 

This appliance is designed for domestic cooking 
only. Using it for any other purpose could invalidate 
any warranty or liability claim. In particular, the 
oven should NOT be used for heating the kitchen 
– besides invalidating claims this wastes fuel and 
may overheat the control knobs.

Installation and Maintenance

In the UK the electrical installation should be in accordance 
with BS 7671. Otherwise, all installations must be in 
accordance with the relevant instructions in this booklet, with 
the relevant national and local regulations, and with the local 
electricity supply companies’ requirements.

Make sure that the cooker is wired in and switched on.

The hob control display will flash for about 2 seconds 
during first power setting – this is normal.

The cooker should be serviced only by a qualified service 
engineer, and only approved spare parts should be used.

Always allow the cooker to cool and then switch it off at the 
mains before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance work, 
unless specified otherwise in this guide.

Peculiar Smells

When you first use your cooker it may give off a slight odour. 
This should stop after a little use.

Before using for the first time, make sure that all packing 
materials have been removed and then, to dispel 
manufacturing odours, turn the ovens to 200°C and run for an 
hour.

Make sure the room is well ventilated to the outside air 
(see 

‘Ventilation’

 below). People with respiratory or allergy 

problems should vacate the area for this brief period.

Ventilation

The use of a cooking appliance results in the production 
of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. 
Therefore, ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep 
natural ventilation holes open or install a powered cooker 
hood that vents outside. If you have several hotplates on, or 
use the cooker for a long time, open a window or turn on an 
extractor fan.

Personal Safety

Important information for pacemaker and implanted 
insulin pump users

: The functions of this hob comply with 

the applicable European standards on electromagnetic 
interference. If you are fitted with a pacemaker or 

implanted insulin pump and are concerned please consult 
your doctor for medical advice.

 

This appliance is not intended for use by persons 
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory 
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and 
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision 
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a 
person responsible for their safety.

 

Children should be supervised to ensure that they 
do not play with the appliance.

 

DO NOT use a steam

cleaner to clean the cooker.

 

When the hob is in use keep magnetic items, such as 
credit and debit cards, floppy disk, calculators, etc. 
away.

 

Accessible parts will become hot during use and will 
retain heat even after you have stopped cooking. 
Keep babies and children away from the cooker and 
never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while 
the appliance is in use.

 

Always be certain that the controls are in the OFF 
position when the oven is not in use, and before 
attempting to clean the cooker.

 

Take care when touching the marked cooking areas 
of the hob.

 

When the oven is on, DO NOT leave the oven door 
open for longer than necessary, otherwise the 
control knobs may become very hot.

Cooking high moisture 
content foods can create 
a ‘steam burst’ when the 
oven door is opened. When 
opening the oven stand well 
back and allow any steam to 
disperse.

Always keep combustible materials, e.g. curtains, and 
flammable liquids a safe distance away from your cooker.

 

DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal 
scrapers to clean the

oven door glass since they can 

scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of 
the glass.

 

DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of the cooker 
while it is on.

 

Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp 
gloves might result in steam burns when you touch 
a hot surface. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth 
in place of a glove – it might catch fire if brought into 
contact with a hot surface.
