SAFETY GUIDELINES

We have designed this cooking hob for use by
private persons in their homes.
These cooking hobs are meant to be used
exclusively for cooking beverages and foods­tuffs and do not contain any asbestos-based
materials.

••

Residual heat

A cooking zone can remain hot for several
minutes after use.

An

""HH""

is displayed during this period.

Avoid touching the hot areas during this time.

••

Child safety device

Your hob is equipped with a child safety
device that locks its operation after use or
during cooking (See " Child Safety use"
section).

Do not forget to unlock it before using the
hob again.

••

For users of pacemakers and

active implants

The functioning of the hob conforms to cur­rent electromagnetic interference standards
and thus is in total compliance with legal
requirements (89/336/CEE directives).
In order to avoid interference between your
cooking hob and a pacemaker, your pacema­ker must be designed and programmed in
compliance with the regulations that apply to
it.
Consequently, we can only guarantee that our
own product is compliant.
With regard to the compliance of the pacema­ker or any potential incompatibility, you can
obtain information from the manufacturer or
your attending physician.

Electrical Danger

Ensure that the power cables of any
electrical appliances plugged in close to
the hob are not in contact with the cooking
zones.

If a crack appears in the glass worktop,
immediately disconnect your appliance to
avoid the risk of electric shock.
To do this, remove the fuses or use the cir­cuit breaker.
Do not use your hob until you have repla­ced the glass worktop.

AFTER-SALES SERVICE

Tip

If your oven is located below your hob,
the hob's thermal safety measures forbid
the simultaneous use of the hob and the
pyrolysis program of your oven.
Your hob is equipped with an anti-overhea­ting safety device.
This safety can be activated, for example,
when the hob is installed over an oven that
is not sufficiently insulated. If this occurs, a
series of small lines appear in the control
panel. In this case, we recommend that you
increase the ventilation of your hob by crea­ting an opening in the side of your cabinet
(8 cm x 5 cm) and/or that you install the
oven insulation kit (reference 75X1652) that
is available from the Post-Sales Service
Department.

Warning

You must ensure that the air intakes
located under your cooking appliance
remain clear at all times.

For all types of installation, your induction
hob needs proper ventilation.

/ INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

••

PROPER POSITIONING

Your appliance should be positioned so that
the plug-in unit is accessible.
The distance between the edge of your
appliance and the side and rear walls (or par­titions) must be at least four centimetres (area
A).
Your appliance can be easily integrated above
a cabinet, an oven or a build-in-ready house­hold appliance. You must simply ensure that
the air intakes and air outlets are clear (See
"Description of Your Appliance" section).

BUILD-IN

Follow the diagram above.
Glue the foam seal underneath your appliance
by following the outline of the worktop upon
which your appliance will rest. This will allow
you to achieve an airtight seal with the work­top.

Attach the clips to the hob.*

Warning

If the power cable is damaged, it
should be replaced by the manufacturer, its
after-sales service department or by a per­son with similar qualifications to avoid dan­ger.

For a 400 V 2N triphase hook-up, if your hob
malfunctions, check that the neutral conduc­tor is properly connected.

These hobs must be connected to the power
grid via an electrical outlet that complies with
EIC publication 60083 or an all-pole cut-off
device that complies with installation regula­tions in effect.

When power is first supplied to your hob, or
after an extended power outage, an indicator
light will appear on the control panel. It auto­matically disappears after approximately 30
seconds, or as soon as any touch control on
the control panel is pressed. This display is
normal and, if needed, serves as an indication
to the after-sales service staff. In all cases,
the user of the hob should disregard it.

/ USING YOUR APPLIANCE

Tip

To check the suitability of your cook­ware:
Place the vessel on a cooking zone at
power level 4.
If the display remains on, your cookware is
compatible.
If the display flashes, your cookware cannot
be used with induction cooking.
You can also use a magnet to test the cook­ware.
If a magnet "sticks" to the bottom of the
cookware, it is compatible with induction.

••

WHICH COOKING ZONE
SHOULD YOU USE BASED ON
YOUR COOKWARE?

••

COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION

••

The induction principle

The principle of induction is based on a
magnetic phenomenon.
When you place your cookware on a cooking
zone and you turn it on, the electronic boards
in your cooking hob produce "induced" cur­rents in the bottom of the cookware and ins­tantly raise its température. This heat is then
transferred to the food, which is simmered or
seared depending on your settings.

••

Cookware

Most cookware is compatible with induction.
Only glass, terra cotta, aluminium without a
special finish on the bottom, copper and
some non-magnetic stainless steels do not
work with induction cooking.
We recommend that you select cookware
with a thick, flat bottom. The heat will be dis­tributed better and cooking will be more uni­form.

By choosing cookware that displays this logo
on its bottom or on its packaging, you can be
certain that it is perfectly compatible with
your hob under normal operating conditions.
To help you choose, a list of cookware is pro­vided with this guide.

SAFETY DURING OPERATION

•

Residual heat

After intensive use, the cooking zone that you
have just used can remain hot for several min­utes.
An

""HH""

is displayed during this period.

Avoid touching the hot areas during this time.

•

Temperature limiter

Each cooking zone is equipped with a safety
sensor that constantly monitors the tempera­ture of the bottom of the cookware. In the
event that an empty vessel is left on a cooking
zone that is on, this sensor automatically
adjusts the power output of the hob, thereby
avoiding any risk of damage to the cookware
or the hob.

•

"Small Items" safety

A small object (such as a fork, a spoon, a ring,
etc.) left alone on the hob is not detected as a
piece of cookware.
The display flashes and no heat is produced.

Warning

Several small objects together on a
cooking zone may be detected as cook­ware.
If the display remains on: power may be
supplied and the objects may be heated.

•

Protection against overflows

The hob may shut down (with
the adjacent symbol in the
display) automatically in any
of these three situations:

--

Overflow that spills onto the touch controls.

- Damp towel placed over the touch controls.

- Metallic object placed on the touch con­trols.
Clean the hob or remove the object, then
begin cooking again.

•

Auto-Stop system

If you forget to switch off a cooking zone,
your hob has an "

AAuuttoo--SSttoopp ssyysstteemm

" safety
function which automaticallty cuts off the
power to the cooking zone, after a predefined
period (between 1 and 10 hours depending
on the power used).
If this safety system is used, the cutoff to the
cooking zone is displayed as "

AASS

" or "AA" on
the control panel and a "bip" sounds for about
2 minutes. Simply press any of the control
buttons to stop this.
A double bip will confirm your action.

/ DAILY CARE OF YOUR APPLIANCE

PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE

Avoid hard shocks from cookware:
The vitroceramic glass worktop is very sturdy;
however, it is not unbreakable.

Do not place any hot lids flat on your cooking
hob. A suction effect may damage the vitroce­ramic surface.

Avoid dragging cookware across the surface,
which may in the long-term result in the
degradation of the decorative finish of the
vitroceramic top.

Avoid placing cookware on the frame or cover
(depending on the model).

Avoid using cookware with rough or bumpy
bottoms: they can capture and transfer parti­cles that may produce stains or scratches on
your hob.

These defects that do not result in
appliance malfunction or do not make it
unsuitable for use are not covered by the
warranty.

MAINTAINING YOUR APPLIANCE

Do not store cleaning products or flammable
products in the cabinet underneath your coo­king hob.

Do not heat unopened canned goods; they
may burst.
Of course, this precaution applies to all types
of cooking.

Never use a sheet of aluminium for cooking.
Never place items wrapped in aluminium foil
or packaged in aluminium dishes on your coo­king hob.
The aluminium will melt and permanently
damage your cooking appliance.

Objects not intended for cooking should
never be placed on the hob (risk of powering
on, scratches, etc.).

Steam cleaning should never be used. The
steam jet could damage your hob.
