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
which risks causing 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 adapted:

•

All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (Verify with a small magnet): cast iron and steel
pans, enameled 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 adapted 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 the power with the slider, slide your finger on the “SLIDER” zone. You can have direct
access if you put your finger directly on the chosen level.

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 adapted to 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 to the heating zone. The

cooking continues with the power level set before.
After use, switch the zone off: don’t let the pan detection [ U ] remain 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 cool, and 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 object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.
