ECO
The back heating element and the fan is activated, which allows
for a gentle and even distribution of the heat inside the oven
cavity. This program is suitable for slow cooking of each type
of foods with adjustable temperatures up to a maximum of 200 °
C, for keeping the food warm as well as for completing cooking.
It is particularly useful for slow cooking of fish and meats, making
the foods delicate and at the same ensuring energy-saving.

MULTILEVEL mode
All heating elements and the fan are activated. Since the
heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air cooks
and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of two
racks may be used at the same time.

BARBECUE mode
The top heating element is activated. By turning the
THERMOSTAT knob, the different power levels which
may be set will appear on the DISPLAY; these range
between 5% and 100%. The high and direct temperature
of the grill is recommended for food which requires a high
surface temperature. Always cook in this mode with the
oven door closed.

! The temperature and cooking duration are pre-
set values, guaranteeing a perfect result every time -

automatically. These values cannot be adjusted and use
the C.O.P.® (Programmed Optimal Cooking) system.
The cooking cycle stops automatically and the oven
indicates when the dish is cooked. You may start cooking
whether the oven has been preheated or not.
We recommend that you follow the guidelines provided

by the
the tray.

! When the cooking stage has been reached, the oven
buzzer sounds.

! Do not open the oven door as this will disrupt the cooking
time and temperature.

MULTILEVEL

• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires
more heat on 2.

• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on
top.

BARBECUE

• Place the grill rack in position 3 or 4 and place

the food in the centre of the rack.

• We recommend that the power level is set to maximum.
The top heating element is regulated by a thermostat
and may not always operate constantly.

PIZZA

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack
provided.

Oven cooking advice table

For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan as it

prevents the crust from forming by extending the total
cooking time.

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend
adding the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza
halfway through the cooking process.

WARNING! The oven is provided
with a stop system to extract the
racks and prevent them from
coming out of the oven.(1)

Start-up and use of
cooking zone

! 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 non-abrasive 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.

Types of noise during normal hob operation:

• Buzz: due to the vibration of the metallic parts that
make up the induction element and the pot; it is
generated by the electromagnetic field required for
heating and increases as the power of the induction
element increases.

• Soft whistle: heard when the pot placed on the heating
zone is empty; the noise disappears once food or water
is placed into the pot.

• Crackle: produced by the vibration of materials on the
bottom of the pot due to the flow of parasitic currents
caused by electromagnetic fields (induction); can be
more or less intense depending on the material making
up the bottom of the pot, and decreases as the pot
dimensions increase.

• Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements of
the same group function simultaneously at maximum
power and/or when the booster function is set on the
larger element while the other is auto-adjusted. Noise
is reduced by decreasing the power level of the auto­adjusted induction element; pot bottom layers made of
different kinds of materials are among the main causes
of this noise.

• Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob functions
correctly and to safeguard the electronic unit from possible
overheating. The fan functions at maximum power when
the large induction element is at maximum power or when
the booster function is on; in all other cases, it works at
average power depending on the temperature detected.
Furthermore, the fan may continue to work even after
switching the hob off, if the temperature detected is high.

The types of noise listed above are due to induction
technology and are not necessarily operational faults.

Practical advice on using the appliance

GB

The FLEXI Zone can be used to set the power of two
„interconnected” hotplates to the same level. It can be
activated if the two hotplates are OFF, by pressing the
FLEXI ZONE button
The FLEXI ZONE can be activated while the hob is on
by pressing the FLEXI ZONE button once; the LEDs
corresponding to both linked hotplates light up.
The 2 LEDs remain lit as long as the hotplates are linked
(if FLEXI ZONE button is pressed again, the hotplates are
disconnected and are both set to power level 0).
Pressing the +, - or Max buttons for one of the two Flexi
hotplates also affects the display corresponding to the
other hotplate.
To deactivate the FLEXI ZONE, press the button .
A timer may be set for the FLEXI zone; this appears on
the display and both LEDs corresponding to the linked
hotplates light up. When the Timer button is pressed,
the two linked hotplates are treated as if they were a
single zone.

Selecting and using FLEXI ZONE
To begin using the FLEXI ZONE, press the button. To
set the power level (see above).

FLEXI ZONE operation
Once you have selected FLEXI ZONE by pressing the
button , the 2 LEDs corresponding to the FLEXI ZONE
for both hotplates light up; it will then be possible to
control both as if they were a single zone. The power level
will appear on both displays. If only the upper or lower
part is in use, the display corresponding to the unused
zone will begin to flash, and after 3 minutes cooking will
automatically revert to standard mode (not FLEXI).

! Once activated, the FLEXI ZONE can also be
programmed, using the same procedure as described
for the individual hotplates.
! Accessories
For optimal FLEXI ZONE performance, we recommend
the use of pans with an elliptical or elongated base and
a major diameter of at least 250 mm; if using pans with
a smaller diameter, we recommend positioning them in
the upper or lower part as indicated by the X symbol.

If the saucepan is not in the centre of the screen printing
detail, you may hear a whistling sound or a slight buzzing
noise; this does not indicate a hob malfunction. We
recommend adjusting the position of the pan so that it is
in the centre of the FLEXI ZONE.

! Use cookware made from materials which 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. Use a magnet to test the compatibility of
the cookware.

In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:

• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise
the cooking zone.

• Always use pans with a diameter which 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
clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the
life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.

• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used
on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners
may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere
correctly.

Safety devices

Pan sensor

Each cooking zone is equipped 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 whose diameter is too small

• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.

13

Overheating protection

GB

If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches off

automatically and

F appears on the display, followed by

a flashing number. When the temperature has reached
a suitable level, this message disappears and the hob
may be used again.

Safety switch

The appliance has a safety switch which automatically
switches the cooking zones off after they have been in
operation for a certain amount of time at a particular
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 5 hours of continuous operation, while the
front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 8 hours.

Technical description of the models

The induction system is the quickest existing way of
cooking. Unlike traditional hotplates where the cooking
zone heats up, with the induction system heat is generated
directly inside pans which have ferromagnetic bases.

This can also 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 of the above
situations may cause the buzzer to sound. Remove
the cause of the malfunction to stop the buzzer. If the
cause of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will
keep sounding and the hob will switch off.

in compliance with international safety standards. The
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and
must be read carefully.

General safety

• The 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 for

the preparation of food, in accordance with the
instructions outlined in this booklet. Any other
use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room)
constitutes improper use and is dangerous.
The manufacturer may not be held liable for any
damage resulting from improper, incorrect and
unreasonable use of the appliance..

• The instruction booklet accompanies a class 1
(insulated) or class 2 - subclass 1 (recessed between
2 cupboards) appliance.

• Do not touch the heating elements or certain parts

of the oven door when the appliance is in use;
these parts become extremely hot. Keep children
well away from the appliance.

• 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.

• Make sure that the power supply cables of other
electrical appliances do not come into contact with
the hot parts of the oven.

• The openings used for the ventilation and dispersion
of heat must never be covered.

• Always use oven gloves when placing cookware in the
oven or when removing it.

• Do not use flammable liquids (alcohol, petrol, etc...)
near the appliance while it is in use.

• Do not place flammable material in the lower storage
compartment or in the oven itself. If the appliance is
switched on accidentally, the materials could catch
fire.

• The internal surfaces of the compartment (where
present) may become hot.

• Always make sure the knobs are in the • position when
the appliance is not in use.

• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug
from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.

• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work
without having disconnected the appliance from the

electricity mains.

• If the appliance breaks down, under no circumstances
should you attempt to perform the repairs yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may
cause injury or further malfunctioning of the appliance.
Contact Assistance.

• Do not rest heavy objects on the open oven door.

• 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 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.

• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids,
etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.

• The appliance should not be operated by people
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or
by anyone who is not familiar with the product. These
individuals should, at the very least, be supervised
by someone who assumes responsibility for their
safety or receive preliminary instructions relating to
the operation of the appliance.

• If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the
necessary precautions to prevent the same from
sliding off the pedestal itself.

• After use, switch off the hob element by its control and
do not rely on the pan detector.

• Do not let children play with the appliance.

• 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.

• If the cooker is placed on a pedestal, take the
necessary precautions to prevent the cooker from
sliding off the pedestal itself.

16

Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states
that household appliances should not be disposed of
using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted
appliances should be collected separately in order to
optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials
inside the machine, while preventing potential damage
to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed­out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the
owner of their obligations regarding separated waste
collection. For further information relating to the correct
disposal of exhausted household appliances, owners
may contact the public service provided or their local
dealer.

Respecting and conserving the
environment

• You can help to reduce the peak load of the electricity
supply network companies by using the oven in the
hours between late afternoon and the early hours of the
morning. The cooking mode programming options, the
“delayed cooking” mode (see Cooking modes) and
“delayed automatic cleaning” mode (see Care and
Maintenance) in particular, enable the user to organise
their time efficiently.

• Always keep the oven door closed when using the
BARBECUE and GRATIN modes: This will achieve
improved results while saving energy (approximately
10%).

• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them clean to
ensure they are free of debris so that they adhere properly
to the door, thus avoiding heat dispersion.

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the
appliance.

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external parts and

the rubber seals may be cleaned using a sponge which
has been soaked in lukewarm water and neutral soap.
Use specialised products for the removal of stubborn
stains. After cleaning, rinse well and dry thoroughly.
Do not use abrasive powders or corrosive substances.

• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned after

each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot water and
detergent, then rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Do
not use abrasive products.

• Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge

and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry
thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive
material or sharp metal scrapers as these could
scratch the surface and cause the glass to crack.

• The accessories can be washed like everyday

crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.

• 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.

• food residue and dirt can be removed using a special

scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait for
the hob to cool down in order to avoid incrustations.
For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool
pad for vitroceramic glass cleaning soaked in soapy
water.

• 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.

Inspecting the oven seals

Check the door seals around the oven regularly.
If the seals are damaged, please contact your
nearest Authorised After-sales Service Centre.
We recommend that the oven is not used until the seals
have been replaced.

Replacing the oven light bulb

To replace the oven
light bulb:

1. Remove the glass cover using a screwdriver.

2. Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with a similar
one: Wattage 15 W, cap E 14.
Replace the glass cover, making sure the seal is
positioned correctly (see diagram).

! Do not use the oven lamp as/for ambient lighting.

Automatic cleaning using the FAST CLEAN
function

With the FAST CLEAN mode, the internal temperature of
the oven reaches 500°C. The pyrolytic cycle is activated,
burning away food and grime residues. Dirt is literally
incinerated.
Keep children away from the appliance during the
automatic cleaning cycle as surfaces may become
very hot. Particles may ignite inside the oven due to the
combustion process. There is no cause for concern: this
process is both normal and hazard-free.
