Start-up and use
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate
located on the appliance itself.
• The voltage falls within the range of values indicated on
the data plate.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask
an authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply
cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible. !
The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only.
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.
! Do not remove or replace the power supply cable for any
reason. Its removal or replacement will void the warranty
and the CE marking. ARGOS does not assume liability for
accidents or damage arising from replacement/removal
of the original power supply cable. Replacement can only
be accepted when carried out by personnel authorised
by ARGOS and using an original spare part.
! 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.
! If the (-)or (+)button is pressed for an extended period of
time, the display scrolls quickly though the power levels
and timer minutes.
Initial Light Conditions
When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the touch
control conducts a calibration process for the touch keys,
which requires a low level of ambient light in the area of
the touch keys.
If during this calibration process excessive ambient lighting is detected the User Interface displays „FL” (Infrared
Ambient Light Error) and the control calibration process
is suspended. In order to rectify the process any lighting
that could effect the calibration process should be
switched off (e.g. halogen cooker hood lighting). The error will disappear when satisfactory ambient lighting is
detected and the touch control calibration procedure will
now complete satisfactorily.
-The „FL” error can only be generated within approx 3s
of initial power being applied to the cooktop.
-We recommend that the user switches off all cooker
hood lighting and lighting directed towards the cooktop
when power is initially applied to the cooktop.
-After the touch control has conducted its initial calibration process, (approx 3s) any cooker hood or other
lighting can be switched on as normal and will not affect
the
operation of the touch control.

Practical advice on using the appliance
! 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.
! Do not use adapters, diffusers, or metal plates on the
cooking zones .They may have a detrimental effect
upon the hob’s performance, and might damage the
hob’s aesthetics.
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.
Start-up and use
After 10 sec. with no pan on the heating zone, a warning
beep signal is emmited.
After 60 sec. with no pan on the heating zone,, the heater
switches off.
• 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.
The “u” sign on the display appears if after selecting the
cooking zone the pan is not placed on a heater , or in
case of:
• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.
Overheating protection
If the electronic elements overheat, the number
signalizing the power level starts flashing, and the letter
“c” appears on the display. 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. When one or more keys are activated for more
than
10 sec. the touch control. switches off
A warning beep sounds is emitted every 10
sec., while the key/s is/are activated.
With all heaters at zero power during 10 sec. the
Cooktop is switched off.
If the switching off is due to an accidental activa-
tion of keys, the touch control actuates as above.
Buzzer
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.
Errors and Alarms
When an error is detected, the whole appliance or the
heater/s are switched off, a beep sounds (only if one or
more heaters are active) and all displays show a ‘F’
letter and the error code (an index number or a letter)
alternately.
If the problem does not disappear by itself, please
contact the Technical Service.

Care and maintenance
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for
example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues
and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder
detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may
scratch the surface beyond repair.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the
appliance.
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a
damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen towel.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass
ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper.
Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for
the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty
deposits. You can achieve excellent results by using a
rust-proof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for
glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• If any 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
protective maintenance product: the invisible film left
by this product protects the surface from drips during
cooking. This maintenance task should be carried out
while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean
water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.
Stainless steel frame (only in models with outer frame)
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which 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.
! Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is sim-
ilar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or
degreasing products which are not suitable for use
with aluminium.
Disassembling the hob
If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:
1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on
each side.
2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in each
corner.
3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.
! Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If the
appliance breaks down, contact a Service Centre.
