Ventilation

The cooling system is fully automated. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the heat
brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts, it will function
at high speed when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces its speed and stops
automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.

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 as
this may cause 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. This results in heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.

Of course the pan has to be compatible:

 All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (to verify, a magnet should stick to the

bottom): cast iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with

ferromagnetic bottoms…

 Are excluded: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic,

stoneware…

The induction heating zone adapts automatically to 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 compatible 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 zone

To select a cooking zone or adjust its power level, you must use the “SLIDER” zone. You
can either slide or get direct access to the expected position.

If no action is made within 20 second the electronics returns in waiting position.

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 compatible with the induction.

In this case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This
symbol disappears when a suitable 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 on 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 switching off a heating zone or the hob completely, the heating zones are still hot and
indicates [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones have cooled and can be touched without
danger.
When the residual heat indicators are on, don’t touch the heating zones and don’t put any heat
sensitive objects on them. There are risks of burns and fire.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.
The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforce in his home country.

How to stick the gasket:

The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.
His installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.

Fitting - installing:

 The cut out sizes are:

 Ensure that there is a distance of 50 mm between the hob and the wall or sides.

 The hobs are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be

installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units
or a wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand

higher than the hob.

 The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges

of furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist
temperatures of up to 100 °C.

 The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
 Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
 To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 mm to ensure a good air

circulation of the electronic device.

 If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects

(for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.

 Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To

protect the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must
be given to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into
the supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction
with smooth work top surfaces.

 The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the

indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a
distance minimum of 760 mm.

 The connection cord should be subjected, after building, with no mechanical constraint,

such for example of the fact of the drawer.

 WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance

or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or
hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause
accidents.
