Multizone Installation Requirements
IMPORTANT: Installation and connection must be done
by a licensed technician. The technician must follow local
codes and regulations for installation and safety.
Prior to installation, unpack all of the materials, and remove
all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic glass.
Do not modify the unit, as this will void the product warranty.
Neither the cooking zones nor the control panel should be used
as a support surface or a worktop.
The unit must be grounded and connected to conform
to local code.
Do not use an extension cable when connecting the unit.
The unit must not be installed above a dishwasher or a tumble-
dryer, as the steam may damage the electronic components.
IMPORTANT: A gap of at least 20mm must be established in
front of the cooling fan’s air inlet, as the cooling system requires
airfl ow for ventilation. (See diagram below.)

Multizone Installation Requirements (continued)
Tulip Cooking induction cooktops are classifi ed as “Y” class for
heat protection. The countertop surface, the countertop edges,
the laminate coatings, and the glue used to affi x the cooktop
must be able to withstand temperatures of up to 212˚F (100˚C).
It is acceptable to install the cooktop unit in a countertop that
is positioned lengthwise against a wall. It is also acceptable
to have a tall appliance or wall positioned next to one of the
countertop’s short sides; however, on the opposite side, no
appliance or wall may stand higher than the countertop.
In all cases, the cooktop must be installed with a minimum
distance of 2” (50mm) from all sides of the unit to any wall or
appliance. See diagram on page 4.
To protect the edges of the countertop cut-outs, your
countertop fabricator must seal the countertop once it is cut.
Care must be taken when applying the adhesive joint supplied
with the unit to prevent any leakage into the countertop. This
gasket ensures a correct seal when used in conjunction with a
smooth countertop surface.
A hood should be installed in conjunction with the cooktop.
Please check with your local municipality for proper codes
and regulations.
After installation, the connection cords should be free from
obstruction, with no mechanical constraint or twisting.
Connection of Cooking Zones
IMPORTANT: Connection to the electrical network should
be done by a licensed electrician.
The connectors for the cooking zones are identifi ed by stickers
with classifi cations from 5 to 8:
5 – Heating Zone 1100 W / Glass diameter 270mm
7 – Heating Zone 2300 W / Glass diameter 300mm
The touchpad electronic control panel is identifi ed by “C” on the
connector.
On the technical box, near the female connectors, are the labels
5-6-7-8-C.
Connect the touchpad electronic control panel to the “C” port
on the technical box.
Connect each heating zone to its corresponding numbered
port on the technical box. For easiest connection, start with
the highest numbered heating zone, and continue in reverse
numeric order to the lowest number.
Example:
IMPORTANT: Do not lengthen or shorten the wire
for any cooking zone, as this will void the product
warranty. Tulip Cooking will not be held responsible
for any damage, malfunction, or hazard caused by
a wiring change done by the customer.

Confi guring the Cooktop Unit
IMPORTANT: Before starting the confi guration process,
ensure there are no pots sitting on the cooktop.
Please note that during the confi guration process, the control
panel will be completely dark (unlit). A fl ashlight may be
required for clear viewing of panel information.
Step 1: Prepare the unit for confi guration.
a. Select and set aside a pot with a ferromagnetic bottom and
a minimum diameter of 6.3” (16cm). Be sure to fi ll the pot
partially with water; it is a safety hazard to heat an empty pot.
b. Disconnect the unit from the electrical supply by removing
the fuse or turning off the circuit breaker.
c. Reconnect to the electrical supply.
d. Start the confi guration procedure within 2 minutes after
reconnecting the unit.
e. Do not use the on/off button [ O/I ] on the control panel
during the confi guration process.
Step 2: Cancel the default confi guration.
a. Press and hold button 2. The symbol [ – ] will appear on
each display.
b. With your other hand, press quickly and successively (less
than 2 seconds) on each [ – ] display. Begin at the front right
and continue counterclockwise, as shown in the diagram
below left (a > b > c > d). If you hear a double “beep” sound,
an error has occurred and you must start the process again
from the beginning. (See Step 1.)
c. Remove your fi ngers from the touch control, then press and
hold button 1 for a few seconds, until blinking [ E ] symbols
appear.
d. Wait until [ E ] symbols stop blinking. After few seconds, the
[ E ] symbol changes to [ C ], which means the existing setup
has been cancelled.
Step 3: Create a new setup.
a. Select a cooking zone by pressing the corresponding
[ C ] display.
b. Place a pot on the zone to be set; the pot must be fi lled partially
with water, and must have a ferromagnetic bottom and a
minimum diameter of 6.3” (16cm). Be sure to use the same pot
for the entire process, moving it from zone to zone. Never place
several pots together on the zones during the setup process.
c. Wait until the [ C ] display changes to [ – ]. The selected
cooking zone is now confi gured.
d. Follow the same procedure for each cooking zone using
the [ C ] displays.
e. Once all the displays have turned off , all cooking zones have
been confi gured.
If you see an error symbol [ E4 ], reconfi gure the control unit.
If the error symbol persists, please contact Tulip Cooking at
www.tulipcooking.com/service.
