Use of the appliance

Touch controls

Your induction 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 a time.

Display Designation Description

0. Zero The heating zone is activated.
1…9 Power level Selection of the cooking level.
U No pan detection No pan or inadequate pan.
A Heat accelerator Automatic cooking.
E Error message Electronic failure.
H Residual heat The heating zone is hot.
P Power The boosted power is activated.
L Locking Control panel locking.
U Keep warm Maintains automatically a temperature of 70°C.
II Stop&Go The hob is in pause.

Ventilation

The cooling system is fully automated. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the heat
produced by the electronic system reaches a certain level. The ventilation starts high speed
when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces its speed and stops automatically
when the electronic circuit is cooled sufficiently.

14

Starting-up and appliance management

Before the first use

Clean your hob with a damp cloth and dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent
which risks causing a 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. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be magnetic:

 All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify by using a small magnet): cast

iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms.

 Exclusions: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware.

The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. If the diameter is too

small, the pan doesn‟t work. This diameter will vary the function of the heating zone

diameter.
If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].

15

Power selection zone “SLIDER” and timer setting zone

First select a cooking zone by touching a “Zone selection” button (see p.6). The
corresponding display will be highlighted as long as the zone is activated.
While the zone is activated (for a few seconds), you can adjust the power, either by sliding
your finger on the slider, or by direct access.
To adjust the power of another cooking zone, wait until the previous zone is no longer
activated (the highlighted display becomes normal).

Pan detection

The pan detection ensures perfect safety. The induction doesn‟t work:

 If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not suitable for induction

cooking. In this case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ].
This symbol disappears when a 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. Cooking continues with the previously set power level.

After use, switch the zone off, do not rely on the pan detection [ U ] .

Residual heat indication

After the heating zone is turned off or the hob is switched off, the heating zones are still hot
and the hob will show [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may 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.

Power boost function

The Power function [ P ] grants a boost of power to the selected heating zone.
If this function is activated the heating zones work for 10 minutes with an ultra high power.
Power is needed for example to heat up large quantities of water rapidly, like for noodles

The cut out sizes are:

Product code

Cut-out size

C900I

810 x 490 mm

 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 worktop 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 at the edge must be heat-resistant.
