Elements that may
damage the appliance
Pan bottoms
Hot pans
Salt, sugar and sand
Hard or pointed objects
Food spillage
Unsuitable cleaning
products
Plastic and paper
Energy-saving advice
Rough pan bottoms may scratch the cooktop.
Avoid leaving empty pans on the cooking areas. This may result in damage to the
appliance. If special cookware is used, please follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Never place any hot pans or other cookware on the control panel, the display area
or the cooktop frame.
Salt, sugar and sand particles may scratch the cooktop.
Hard or pointed objects may damage the cooktop if they are dropped on it.
Do not use the cooktop as a work or support surface.
Sugar and other similar products may damage the cooktop. Remove such products
immediately using a scraper for glass surfaces.
The use of unsuitable cleaning products and the wear caused by contact with
cookware will result in fading of the metal parts.
Aluminum foil and plastic containers will melt if placed on element while it is hot.
Use pans equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bottoms increase
energy consumption. Place a ruler against the bottom of the pan. Ifthere are no
gaps, this means the bottom is completely flat.
The diameter of the pan you are using should be the same as the diameter of
the element. Please note: If the cookware manufacturer provides the diameter
for the top of the pan, bear in mind that this is in most cases greater than the
diameter of its bottom. This is generally greater than the diameter of the base of
the pan. If the diameter of the pan is not the same as the diameter of the
element, it is preferable to use a pan with a bottom that is larger in diameter
than the element, otherwise half the energy will be wasted.
Choose pans of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A
large pan that is only half full will use a great amount of energy.
Ensure that pans are always placed in the center of the element and always
cover them with a lid. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold
increase in energy use.
Use a small amount of water when cooking. This will save energy and preserve
the vitamins and minerals of cooked vegetables.
When cooking stews or liquid food such as soups, sauces or drinks, these may
reach a high temperature within a very short time and without warning, with the
risk of spillage. Therefore, it is advisable to heat food slowly, adjusting the heat
setting to an adequate level and stirring the food before and during the heating
process.

Cooking by induction
Advantages of
induction cooking
Proper cookware
Induction cooking constitutes a radical change in the traditional form of heating,
given that the heat is generated directly in the pan. Therefore, it has a number of
advantages:
÷ Greater speed in cooking and frying; as the pan is heated directly.
÷ Uses less energy
÷ Greater convenience and cleanliness; food spilled on the cooktop surface
will not burn.
÷ Cooking control and safety; The cooktop heats up or cools down
immediately after the controls are set. The induction cooktop also stops
supplying heat if the pan is removed without first turning off the power.
Ferromagnetic pans
Special induction cooking
cookware
Check the pans with a
magnet
Improper cookware
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking. These can be of
• enameled steel
• cast iron
• special stainless steel utensils for induction cooking.
There is another type of special cookware for induction cooking with a base that is
not entirely ferromagnetic. Check the diameter. It could affect both the detection of
the cookware as well as the results of the cooking.
Check that the bases of your pans are attracted by a magnet to find out if they are
suitable. The manufacturer normally indicates if pans are suitable for induction
cooking.
Never use pans made of:
• thin normal steel
• glass
• clay
• copper
• aluminum
Characteristics of the pan
base
No pan or improper size
The characteristics of the pan base can influence the evenness of the cooking.
Pans made out of materials that diffuse heat, such as pans with a "sandwich" of
stainless steel, spread heat uniformly, saving time and energy.
If no pan is placed on the selected element, or it is not of a suitable size, the
cooking element shown on the element indicator will flash. It will stop flashing once
a suitable pan is placed on the element. If you take longer than 90 seconds to place
a suitable pan on the element, it will automatically turn off.
11
Empty pans or pans
with a thin base
Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base. The cooktop has an
internal safety system, but an empty pan could heat up so quickly the "automatic
deactivation" function does not have time to react and the pan could reach a very
high temperature. The pan base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In the
event this occurs, do not touch the pan and turn off the element. If it does not
function after cooling off, contact technical service.
Cookware detection
Double or triple
cooking element
Each element has a minimum limit for detecting cookware, which varies based on
the material of the pan you are using. Therefore, you should use the element that
best matches the diameter of your pan.
These elements can recognize different sized pans. Depending on the material and
the properties of the pan, the element will automatically adapt, and will activate only
single zone or the entire zone and supply the proper power to provide good cooking
results.

Troubleshooting
Sometimes problems are unimportant technical problems that can be easily
resolved. Before contacting Technical Assistance, please keep in mind the advice
and warnings below:
The cooktop is not working
The indicator light on the
element is flashing E
The cooktop turns off by itself
The display flashes (there is no
power) when you place a saucepan
on an induction cooking element
The SpeedBoost function display
flashes and then switches off
Repairs
/k
See if there is a power outage. Check to see ifthere is a problem with the circuit
breaker for the electrical installation.
The control panel is very dirty, food has spilled or there is something on top of the
cooktop. Clean the control panel or remove the object from the cooktop. Lightly
press the affected control panel. The flashing should stop.
The power key was touched unintentionally. Press the power key again. Reset the
cooktop.
Check to see whether the saucepan is electromagnetic. Check to see whether the
diameter of the saucepan is large enough. Allow the saucepan to cool down in the
event that it has become too hot when used.
If the display still does not light up when you switch the cooking element off and on
again, disconnect the appliance at the circuit breaker. Wait 20 seconds and then
reconnect it.
The SpeedBoost function operates the cooking element with the most possible
power. During long cooking times, it is possible that the function will switch the
cooking element off to protect the cooktop from overheating. You can continue to
use the cooktop if the display is not flashing.
WARNING: Repairs should only be done by a trained service technician.
If your appliance is repaired improperly, you could be at considerable risk.

If an E ,- and a series of numbers appear in the display panel, there is a fault in the
electronic system. Turn the appliance off and back on at the fuse or circuit breaker.
Call technical assistance if the same display appears again.
If an F and a number flash in alternation on the displays, your appliance has
detected a fault. Refer to the following table for possible remedies.

Note:
A gap may form between the countertop and the cooktop. For this reason, there is a
flexible seal all around the cooktop. Due to the characteristics of the material, there
can be irregularities inthe glass ceramic surface. Because of the mirror-smooth
surface of the cooktop, it is possible for even the smallest of bubbles, less than 1
mm in diameter, to be visible. They are not detrimental either to the functionality or
the durability of the glass ceramic cooking surface.

Normal operating
sounds for the
appliance
Induction heating technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields that
cause heat to be created directly on the pan base. Depending on the construction
of the cookware, certain noises or vibrations may be created, such as the following:
A low humming like a
transformer
A low whistling
Crackling
High pitched whistle
Fan noise
This occurs when cooking at a high power. The cause of this is the amount of
energy which is transmitted from the appliance to the cookware. This sound
disappears or becomes quieter when the power is turned down.
This occurs when the cookware is empty. This sound disappears when water or
food is added to the cookware.
This noise occurs when cookware is used which consists of layers of different
materials. The noise is caused by vibrations in the joint faces between the different
layers. This noise comes from the cookware. It may change depending on the
amount and type of food being cooked.
This noise occurs principally incookware which consists of layers of different
materials when used at the highest heat setting and on two elements next to each
other. This whistling disappears or becomes quieter when the power isturned
down.
The electronics require a controlled temperature in order to function reliably. The
cooktop is therefore fitted with a fan which runs at various speeds according to the
temperature detected. The fan may also continue to run even after the cooktop has
been switched off if the temperature it detects is still too high.
The sounds described are a normal part of induction technology and do not indicate
a defect.
