∙Keep an eye on the cooking using grease or oils: that may quickly ignite.
∙Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
∙Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings. - Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
∙To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
∙Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency
∙DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are (identification of areas – for example, the cook-top and surfaces facing the cook-top).
∙Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts with the glass or the hot saucepan.
∙Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room.
∙Storage in or on Appliance - Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
5
∙Ustensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
∙Magnetically objects (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators) should not be placed near to the engaged appliance.
∙Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.
∙In general do not place any metallic object except heating containers on the glass surface. In case of untimely engaging or residual heat, this one may heat, melt or even burn.
∙Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
∙Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet. This is supposed to become very hot and catch fire.
∙Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
∙Clean Cook-Top With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
∙This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.

STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Before the first use
Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
Induction principle
An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be adapted:
∙All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it thanks a little magnet): cast iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…
∙Are excluded: cupper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware,…
The induction heating zone adapts automatically the size of the pan. With a too small diameter the pan doesn’t work. This diameter is varying in function of the heating zone diameter.
If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].
Sensitive touch
Your ceramic hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound.
In the case of a general use press only one key at the same time.
Power selection zone “SLIDER” and timer setting zon e
To select the power with the slider, slide your finger on the “SLIDER” zone. You can already have a direct access if you put your finger directly on the chosen level.

Pan detection
The pan detection ensures a perfect safety. The induction doesn’t work:
∙If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not adapted to the induction. In this case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone.
∙If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows
[ U ]. The symbol [ U ] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The cooking continues with the power level set before.
After use, switch the heat element off: don’t let the pan detection [ U ] active.
Residual heat indication
After the switch off of a heating zone or the complete stop of the hob, the heating zones are still hot and indicates [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched without danger.
As far as the residual heat indicators are on light, don’t touch the heating zones and don’t put any heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.
Booster and Double Booster function
Booster [ P ] and Double Booster [ ] grant a boost of Power to the selected heating zone. If this function is activated the heating zones work during 10 minutes with an ultra high Power. This is foreseen for example to heat up rapidly big quantities of water, like nuddles
