Notes:

– Each selection (by pressing one of

the keys) is indicated by an acoustic
signal (beep).

– User interface initial calibration: this

feature is for the keyboard calibration,
to adapt the sensibility of the keys to
the final mechanical, environmental
and user conditions.

Any time the cooktop is connected to

the electrical supply or after a power
failure (that generates a reset in the
user interface), the first time the Key­Lock is touched the sensibility of
the keyboard is readjusted.

The first touch of the Key-Lock must be done

in certain condition: do not use gloves, use a clear
finger.

It is also important to consider that the calibration

process requires a low level of ambient light in the
area of the touch keys. If the environmental light
conditions are excessive (e.g. halogen hood light/s
on), the user interface calibration is suspended and
the cooking zones displays show “F ” and “L ” alter­nating - error message “ FL ”) until the correct light
conditions will be recovered.

In this case the direct environmental light/s must be

switched off before calibrating the cooktop; then,
after completing the process, the light/s can be
switched on again.

USE OF INDUCTION HOB

– The touch control is switched off automatically (and

a warning beep sounds every 10 seconds):

• if one or more keys are touched for more than 10
seconds;

• if an object is positioned on the touch control
area;

• in the case of spillage of liquids on the control
keys.

– When the touch control reaches an ambient tem-

perature above a preset temperature the heating
elements are automatically switched off (the dis­plays show “ F ” and “ ” alternating - error mes­sage “ ”). In this case let the cooktop cool down
before using again.

The ceramic cooktop is fitted with induction cooking zones.
These zones, shown by painted disks on the ceramic surface, are controlled by a touch
control system.

INDUCTION COOKING SYSTEM

When your induction hob is switched on and a cooking zone has been selected, the
electronic circuits produce induced currents that instantaneously heat the bottom of the
pan which then transfers this heat to the food.
Cooking takes place with hardly any energy loss between the induction hob and the food.
Your induction hob operates only if a correct pan with the right features is placed on a
cooking zone. Please refer to "Cookware for Induction Cooking".

COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION COOKING

The induction cooking system OPERATES ONLY if using correct cookware suitable for
induction cooking.
The bottom of the pan has to be ferromagnetic to generate the electromagnetic field nec­essary for the heating process (meaning a magnet has to stick to the bottom of the pan).

Pans made from the following materials are not suitable:
– glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, stoneware;
– pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom.

To check if a pan is suitable or not:
– Test the bottom of the pan with a magnet: if the magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
– If a magnet is not available pour a small amount of water inside the pan and place the

pan on a cooking zone. Switch on the cooking zone: if the set power level flashes on
the cooking zone display, the pan is not suitable (then after 1 minute, the power level
automatically returns to “ 0 ”).

Important note: the cooking zones will not operate if the pan diameter is too small. To
correctly use the cooking zones follow the indications given in the following table.

Induction Cooking Zone

Front zone, Ø 145 mm 80 mm

Rear zone, Ø 210 mm 130 mm

Pay attention: The pan shall always be centred over the middle of the cooking zone. It
is possible to use oversized pans but its bottom shall not touch the other cooking zone.
Always use pans with thick, completely flat bottom.
Do not use pans with concave or convex bottom; these could cause overheating of the
cooking zone.

Note: Some types of pans could cause noise when used on an induction cooking zone.
The noise does not mean any failure on the appliance and does not influence the cook­ing operation.

Replacing the power cord must be done by a qualified electrician in
accordance with the instructions supplied by the manufacturer and in
compliance with established electrical regulations.

IMPORTANT: Installation must be carried out according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Incorrect installation may cause harm and damage to people, ani­mals or property, for which the manufacturer accepts no responsibility.

Before carrying out any work on the electrical section of the appliance, it must
be disconnected from the mains.

Connection to a good earth wiring system is absolutely essential.
The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any inconvenience caused by fail­ure to comply with this rule.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Connection to the electric power supply must be carried out by a qualified technician

and following the appropriate safety regulations.

• The appliance must be connected to the mains checking that the voltage corresponds

to the value given in the rating plate and that the electrical cable sections can with­stand the load specified on the plate.

• If the hob is supplied without plug, fit a standard plug which is suitable for the power

absorbed by the appliance and in conformity with the local rules in force.

• The plug must be put into a socket connected to the earth system in compliance with

safety rules.

A suitable isolating switch providing full disconnectio n from the mains power supply

•

(under overvoltage category III conditions) shall be incorporated in the permanent
wiring, mounted and positioned to comply with the local wiring rules and regulatio ns.
The isolating switch must be of an approved type and provide a 3 mm air gap contact
separation in all poles (or in all active [phase] conductors if the local wiring rules
allow for this variation of the requirements).

• The power supply cable must not touch the hot parts and must be positioned so that it

does not exceed 50°C above ambient.

• Once the appliance has been installed, the power switch or power plug must always

be in a accessible position.

N.B. For connections to the mains power supply, never use adaptors, reductions or
multiple power points as these may overheat and catch fire.

In the event that installation should require modifications to the mains supply wiring sys­tem, it is recommended that a qualified technician be called to carry out substitution.
The technician will also have to verify that the cross-section of the electric cables on the
power point match the appliance’s power rating.
