Start-up and use

The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend you remove these with a special nonabrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly. A few seconds after the hob is connected to the electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may now be switched on.

Switching off the cooking zones
Press the -button: the power of the cooking zone will progressively decrease until it is switched off. Alternatively, the - and + buttons may be pressed simultaneously. This immediately returns the power setting to 0 and the cooking zone switches off.
Programming the cooking duration*
All the cooking zones may be programmed for a length of time between 1 and 99 minutes.

Practical advice on using the appliance
Use cookware made from materials that are compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic material). We especially recommend pans made from: cast iron, coated steel or special stainless steel adapted for induction. Us ea magnet to test the compatibility of the cookware.

SUITABLE UNSUITABLE

Safety devices
Pan sensor Each cooking zone is fitted with a pan sensor device. The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with suitable measurements for the cooking zone is placed on it. If the indicator light is flashing, it may indicate: an incompatible pan a pan that is too small the pan has been taken away Residual heat indicators
* Cast iron Enamelled steel Special stainless steel Copper, Aluminium, Glass, Earthenware, Ceramic, non magnetic Stainless steel
In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob: Use pans with a thick, flat base to fully utilise the cooking zone.
While the temperature of the cooking zone remains above 60C, even after the programme has finished, the residual heat indicators placed near the relevant cooking zone remain lit to prevent the risk of burns. Overheating protection If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches off automatically and appears on the display. When the temperature has reached an appropriate level, this message disappears and the hob may be used again. Safety switch The appliance has a safety switch that automatically switches off the cooking zones when they have been in operation for a certain amount of time at a given power level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the display shows 0. For example: the right rear hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after 3 hours of continuous operation, while the front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 10 hours. Buzzer This can indicate several irregularities: an object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on the control panel for more than 10 seconds something has been spilt on the control panel a button has been pressed for too long All the above can cause the buzzer to sound. Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the buzzer. The control panel locks automatically in these situations: to unlock it press the button [key icon], the settings will have been maintained. If the cause of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will switch off.

Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.
Make sure that the base of the cookware is always dry and clean, to fully utilise and extend the life of both the cooking zones and cookware. Avoid using the same cookware that has been used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may deform the base of the pan, causing it not to fit correctly.

Precautions and tips

This appliance has been designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully. This appliance conforms to the following European Economic Community directives: - 73/23/EEC of 19/02/73 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments - 89/336/EEC of 03/05/89 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent amendments - 93/68/EEC of 22/07/93 and subsequent amendments - 2002/96/EC products with a high sugar content. Keep plastic and aluminium film and packaging away from the hob: if placed on surfaces that are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob. Always make sure pan handles are turned towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental burns. When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from the mains socket, do not pull on the cable. Never carry out any cleaning or maintenance work without having unplugged the plug from the mains. Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids, etc.) on the hob as they may become hot. For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other active implants: The hob complies with all current standards on electromagnetic interference. Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping with legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It is designed not to create interference on any other electrical apparatus being used on condition that the apparatus in question also complies with this legislation. Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic fields. To avoid any interference between your induction hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply with relevant regulations. In this respect, we can only guarantee our own product conformity. Please consult the pacemaker manufacturer or your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible incompatibility.

General safety

Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is never obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be provided with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the electronic components used in the appliance. We advise against the installation of an induction hob above an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above a washing machine (vibrations). In fact, there would be insufficient space for the ventilation of electronic components. This appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use. The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms. Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or damp hands and feet. The appliance must be used by adults only, to cook food according to the instructions in this manual. Do not use the hob as a worktop or chopping board. The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains immediately and contact a Service Centre. If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring. Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of the hob. Remember that the temperature of the cooking zones remains relatively high for at least thirty minutes after they have been switched off. An indicator light provides a warning when residual heat is present (see Start-up and use). Keep any object that could melt away from the hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or

Disposal

When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused. The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected. Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Maintenance and care

Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it. Stainless steel frame (only for models with outer frame) Rust-proof steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by cleaning products containing phosphorus. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.

Cleaning the appliance

Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example, spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface. Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance. It is usually enough to wash the hob with a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll. If the hob is particularly dirty, rub with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, rinse and dry. To remove more stubborn dirt, use the scraper provided. Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can obtain excellent results by using a rust-proof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water. The scraper provided is sharp: be careful when using it. If plastic or sugary substances are accidentally melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot. Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special maintenance and protection product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This should be done while the appliance is warm or cold. Always remember to rinse the appliance with clean water and dry the hob thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during cooking.
