Ventilation

The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the heat
brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts at high speed when
the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces 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
which can cause a blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.

Induction principe

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 made of the correct material:

 All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it with a small magnet): cast iron

and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…

 The following are not suitable: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood,

ceramic, stoneware…

The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. With a diameter too small
the pan will not work. This diameter is varying in function dependent on the heating zone
diameter.

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

Touch controls

Your induction hob is equipped with electronic sensitive touch control keys. When your finger
touches 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.

Note: Touch only one key at a time.

Power selection zone and timer setting zone

To select the power with the slider, slide your finger on the slider zone. Alternatively you can have a
direct access if you put your finger directly on the chosen level.

To stop slide to [ 0 ] on “slider” [ 0 ] or [ H ]

If no action is made within 20 second the electronics will return to standby mode.

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 pan is put on the heating zone.

 If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display will show

[ 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 wait for the pan detection [ U ] to activate.

Residual heat indication

After the switching off of a heating zone or the complete stop of the hob, the heating zones are
still hot and this is indicated by a [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones can be touched without danger.
As far as the residual heat indicators are illuminated, don’t touch the heating zones and don’t put
any heat sensitive objects on them. There is a risk of burning and fire.

Cooking advice

Pan quality

Recommended materials: steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, ferromagnetic stainless-steel,

aluminium with a ferromagnetic bottom.

Materials not suitable: aluminium and stainless-steel without a ferromagnetic bottom,

copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
The manufacturers specify if their products are compatible induction.
To check if pans are compatible:

 Put a little water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [ 9 ].This water

should heat in a few seconds.

 Check to see if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan.

Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise
doesn’t mean any failure on the appliance and doesn’t influence the cooking operating. It is
normal.

Pan dimensions

The cooking zones until a certain limit, automatically adapt to the diameter of the pan. However
the bottom of this pan must have a minimum diameter according to the corresponding cooking
zone.

To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.

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 apply the gasket

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

 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.

 Any mural edges rods must be heat-resistant.
 Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect

the cut 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 ensures a correct seal when used in conjunction with smooth work top
surfaces.

 Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
 Ensure there is a space of 20 mm under the bottom of the hob casing to ensure the correct

air circulation of the electronic device.

 If a drawer is placed under the worktop, avoid putting flammable objects (for example:

sprays) or not heat-resistant objects in to this drawer.

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

indications of the hood manufacturer. In the absence of instructions a minimum distance of
760 mm must be used.

 The connection cable should not be subjected after installation to any mechanical constraint,

for example that of a 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.

Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from
the external edge of the glass, after
removing the protection sheet (3).

Installation instructions

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

Fitting - installing:

 Ensure that there is a distance of 50mm 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.
 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 foam joint strip supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the supporting
furniture. This gasket helps to guarantee a good seal when used in conjunction with smooth
work top surfaces. Further to this each zone and the control panel should be sealed in position
with a silicone sealent. We recommend using one which either matches the work surface or
hob glass ot provide the best finish.

 When sealing the hob sections into the cutout with silicone, please cafefully place some weight

on the top of each zone including the control panel while the silicone sets (for example a pan
filled with cold water). This will help to ensure the hob seals and fixes into the correct position.

 NOTE: although you are sealing the hob with silicone, the foam joint strip supplied with the

hob must also be used.

 Do not install the hob onto the top of a non ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
 Ensure there is a space of 20 mm beneth the hob casing to allow for good air circulation

around the electronic devices.

 If a drawer is placed under the worktop, avoid putting flammable objects (for example: sprays)

and any other non heat-resistant objects into this drawer.
