IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Burn Prevention
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, potholders, or other flammable
materials contact surface units or areas near units until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
Always use 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.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when
fiambeing food (i.e. Cr_pes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee,
Peppercorn Beef Flambe).
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear
loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties,
scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
WARNING
RISK OF BURNS
Metallic objects become hot very quickly on the cooktop.
Never set down metallic objects, such as knives, forks,
spoons and lids on the cooktop.
WARNING
RISK OF BURNS
The pan detection may potentially fail to turn off the
cooking zone due to spilled food or objects placed upon
the cooktop. After each use, turn off the cooktop using
the main switch.
If the display does not work when a cooking area is
heating up, disconnect the circuit breaker from the fuse
box. Contact an authorized servicer.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance,
it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal
guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe
practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on
any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming
drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing
severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely
supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in an
appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the
backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Cleaning Safety
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot
surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from
steam.
Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.
Cookware Safety
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food.
This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
Use Proper Pan Size.
The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of
the heating element or burner to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit.
This appliance is equipped with one or more surface
units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to
heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.
Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops
may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only
pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops.
Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of
the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and
burns.
WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
When cooking with a bain-marie, the cooktop and
cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The
cooking vessel in the bain-marie must not come in direct
contact with the bottom of the pot filled with water. Use
only heat-resistant cookware.

State of California Proposition 65
Warnings
WARNING
This product contains chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Electromagnetic interference
WARNING
This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM
frequency energy that heats cookware by using an
electromagnetic field. It has been tested and complies
with Part 18 of the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. This
induction cooktop meets the FCC requirements to
minimize interference with other devices in residential
installation. Induction cooktops may cause interference
with television or radio reception. If interference occurs,
the user should try to correctthe interference by:
o Relocating the receiving antenna of the radio or
television.
o Increasing the distance between the cooktop and the
receiver.
o Connecting the receiver into an outlet different than the
receiver.
7
Causes of damage
Scratches on glass ceramic surface: Cookware with
rough bottoms will scratch the glass ceramic surface.
Salt, sugar and sand: Salt, sugar or grains of sand will
scratch the glass ceramic surface. Never use the
cooktop as a working surface or for setting things
down.
o Overheated cookware: Avoid heating pots or pans
that are empty.
o Hot cookware: Never set down hot pans and pots on
the control panel or frame. This may cause damage.
Protecting the environment
Energy-saving advice
o Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with
an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in
energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and
avoid having to lift the lid.
o Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom.
Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.
o The diameter of the pan base must match the size of
the element. If not, energy may be wasted. Note: The
manufacturer normally indicates the pan's upper
diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of
the pan's base.
o Choose cookware 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 lot of energy.
o Use a small amount of water when cooking. This
saves energy, and vegetables retain a larger
percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
o Select a lower power level.
o Hard and sharp objects: Hard or sharp objects falling
on the cooktop may damage it.
o Boiled-over food: Sugar and products containing
sugar may damage the cooktop. Immediately eliminate
spills of these products with a glass scraper.
o Foils and plastics: Aluminum foil and plastic will melt
on the hot cooking zones. Stove protective film isn't
suitable for your cooktop.
o Unsuitable cleaning agent: Shimmering metallic
discolorations on the glass ceramic surface result from
the use of inappropriate cleaning agents and abrasion
from cookware.
Cooking by induction
Advantages of induction cooking
When cooking with induction, heat is generated directly
in the base of the pan. This provides many benefits for
you:
o Time saving when boiling and frying. Cookware is
heated directly.
o Less energy is consumed.
o Easy cleaning and maintenance. Spilled food does not
burn onto the cooktop so quickly.
o Controlled supply of heat and increased safety. The
burner reacts immediately to any power change, so
heating can be dosed precisely. Heating is interrupted
when you remove the cookware from the burner even
if the burner is still switched on.
Cookware
Only ferromagnetic cookware made of the following
materials is suitable for induction cooktops:
o Enameled steel
o Cast iron
o Induction-capable cookware of stainless steel.
To determine whether the cookware is suitable, check
whether the base of the pot or pan attracts a magnet.
There are other induction-capable pots and pans whose
bases are not completely ferromagnetic.
If the base of the cookware it
not completely ferromag-
netic, only the area that is
magnetizable will get hot.
Thus it can happen that the
heat is not distributed evenly.
If the base of the cookware is
made from aluminum,
among other things, the fer-
romagnetic area is also
reduced. It can be that this
cookware will not become
truly hot or it may not be
detected at all.
To get good cooking results,
we recommend that the
diameter of the ferromag-
netic area of the cookware
match the size of the burner.
If a pot or pan is not
detected on a burner, try it
again on a burner with a
smaller diameter.
Unsuitable cookware
Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware
made of:
o Traditional stainless steel
o Glass
o Clay
o Copper
o Aluminum
Characteristics of the pan base
The characteristics of the pan base can influence the
evenness of the cooking results. Pans made from
materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel
sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and
energy.
No pan or improper size
If no pan is placed on the selected element, or if it is
made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the
power level displayed on the element indicator will flash.
Place a suitable pan on the element to stop the flashing.
If you take longer than 90 seconds to place a suitable
pan on the element, it will automatically turn off.
Empty pans or pans with a thin base
Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base.
The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to react
and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The pan
base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In this
case, do not touch the pan and switch the cooktop off. If
the cooktop fails to work after it has cooled down, please
contact the technical service.
Pan detection
Each element has a minimum limit for detecting pans,
which varies depending on the material of the pan you
are using. You should therefore use the element that best
matches the diameter of your pan.
Automatic detection on double or triple cooking
elements
These elements can detect different pan sizes.
Depending on the material and properties of the pan, the
element will adapt automatically, and will turn on single
zone or the entire element, supplying the proper power to
obtain good cooking results.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Daily Cleaning
Note: Recommended cleaners indicate a type of cleaner
and do not constitute an endorsement of a specific
brand.
Glass ceramic cooktop
• , CAUTION
Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while
the surface is hot, use only the razor blade scraper.
The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your
health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack
and damage the surface.
Clean the surface when it is completely cool with the
following exception: remove dry sugar, sugar syrup,
tomato products and milk immediately with the razor
blade scraper (see special care chart).
Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper
towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge
remains; rinse.
Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel
or cloth.
Cleaning guidelines
When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to
a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and
buff with a clean dry towel.
For best results, use cleaners such as glass ceramic
cooktop cleaner, BonAmi®, Soft Scrub® (without
bleach), and white vinegar.
Avoid these cleaners
o Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine
bleach. These ingredients may damage or
permanently stain the cooktop.
o Caustic cleaners - cleaners such as Easy Off® may
stain the cooktop surface.
Abrasive cleaners.@
@
Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as
Scotch Brite® can scratch and/or leave metal marks.
Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch
the surface.
@ Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can
permanently stain the cooktop.
@ Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.
Cleaning charts
Type of Soil Possible Solution
Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. Melted
plastic film or foil. All these items REQUIRE IMMEDIATE
REMOVAL. Failure to remove these immediatly can
permanently damage the surface.
Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks
Greasy spatters
Remove these types of spills while the surface is hot
using the razor blade scraper. Use a new, sharp razor in
the scraper. Remove pan and turn off the element.
Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30 ° angle, using
care not to gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the
heated area. After the surface has cooled, remove the
residue and apply the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
• , WARNING
RISK OF INJURY
The blade is extremely sharp. Risk of cuts. Protect
the blade when not in use. Replace the blade
immediately when any imperfections are found.
Follow manufacturer's instructions.
Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of
soil for 30 minutes. Use a plastic scrubber and glass
ceramic cooktop cleaner or use the razor blade scraper.
Rinse and dry.
Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse
thoroughly and dry. Apply glass ceramic cooktop
cleaner.

Type of Soil Possible Solution
Metal marks: Iridescent stain
Hard water spots:
Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface
Surface scratches:
Small scratches are common and do not affect cooking.
They become smoother and less noticeable with daily use
of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may
leave marks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled
with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. If this does not
remove the marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft
Scrub® without bleach) with a damp paper towel. Rinse
and reapply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Failure to
remove metal marks before the next heating makes
removal very difficult.
Minerals in some water can be transferred onto the sur-
face and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse
and dry. Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.
Remove boilovers and stains before using the cooktop
again.
Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before using to
remove sand-like grains and grit such as salt and sea-
soning. Scratches can be reduced by using pans with
bases that are smooth, clean, and dry before use. Use
recommended glass ceramic cooktop cleaner daily.
NOTICE: Diamond rings may scratch the surface.
Maintenance
This appliance requires no maintenance other than daily
cleaning. For best results, apply cooktop cleaning cream
daily.

Normal operating noises of the cooktop
Induction technology is based on the creation of
electromagnetic fields. They may generate heat directly
on the bottom of the cookware. Pots and pans may
cause a variety of noises or vibrations depending on the
way they've been manufactured. These noises are
described as follows:
Low humming (like a transformer)
This noise is produced when cooking at a high heat
level. It is based on the amount of energy transferred
from the cooktop to the cookware. The noise ceases or
quiets down when the heat level is reduced.
Quiet whistling
This noise is produced when the cooking vessel is
empty, tt ceases once water or food is placed in the
vessel.
Crackling
This noise occurs with cookware comprised of various
materials layered one upon the other. It's caused by the
vibrations of the surfaces where different materials meet.
The noise occurs on the cookware and can vary
depending on the amount and method of preparation of
the food.
Loud whistling
This noise occurs with cookware comprised of different
materials layered one upon the other, and when they are
additionally used at maximum output and also on two
cooking zones. The noise ceases or quiets down when
the heat level is reduced.
Fan noises
For proper operation of the electronic system, it is
necessary to regulate the temperature of the cooktop.
For this purpose, the cooktop is equipped with a cooling
fan, which is activated to reduce and regulate the
temperature of the electronic system. The fan may also
continue to run after the appliance is turned off if the
detected temperature of the cooktop is still too hot after
turning it off.
The noises described are a normal element of the
described induction technology and shouldn't be
regarded as defects.
