IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS & RECOMMENDATIONS

• Do not carry out any cleaning or maintenance without first disconnecting the appliance
from the electrical supply.

• During and after use of the hob, certain parts will become hot. Do not touch hot parts.

• After use always ensure that the controls are in the OFF position.

• Household appliances are not intended to be played with by children.

• Keep children away from the hob during use.

• Children, or persons with a disability which limits their ability to use the appliance,
should have a responsible person to instruct them in its use. The instructor should be
satisfied that they can use the appliance without danger to themselves or their sur­roundings.

• WARNING

When correctly installed, your product meets all safety requirements laid down for this

type of product category. However special care should be taken around the under­neath of the appliance as this area is not designed or intended to be touched and may
contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.

• Fire Risk! Do not leave inflammable materials on the Hob top.

• Make sure that electrical cords connecting other appliances in the proximity cannot
come in to contact with the Hob top.

• Do not allow heavy or sharp objects to drop on the glass ceramic hob.

• Do not scratch the hob with sharp objects. Don’t use the hob as a work surface.

• Before disposing of an unwanted appliance, it is recommended that it is made inop­erative and that all potentially hazardous parts are made harmless.

• Important: This appliance has been designed for domestic use only. The appliance
is NOT suitable for use within a semi-commercial, commercial or communal environ­ment.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its ser-

vice agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

• Do not operate your appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-con­trol system.

• Do not place or leave empty pans on the glass ceramic hob.

• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the
hob surface since they can get hot.

• Do not use metallic kitchen utensils (e.g. ladles). It is preferable to use plastic or wood
kitchen utensils.

• Please use pans of recommended size (see minimum pan diameter recommended).
It is not advisable to use pans smaller than the cooking zone. The pans have to be
placed in the centre of the cooking zone.

• Do not use defective pans or pans with a curved bottom.

• Please use suitable pans marked for induction cooking.

• Please keep your distance from the electromagnetic fields by standing 5-10 cm from
the cooking zones.When possible use the rear cooking zone.

• Magnetic objects (e.g. credit cards, floppy disks, memory cards) and electronic instru­ments (e.g. computers) should not be placed near the induction hob.

• IMPORTANT WARNING: The induction hob complies with the applicable Standards

for domestic cooking appliances. Therefore it should not interfere with other
electronic units. Persons with cardiac pacemakers or any other electrical
implants must check with their doctor if they can use an induction cooking sys­tem (and check any possible interferences with the implants).

• Attention: Detach the appliance from the mains if the ceramic glass is cracked
and contact the After-Sales Service.

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.

THERMAL PROTECTION

The indu ction cookto p is fitted wit h
safety devices to protect the electronic
system and each cooking zone from
overheating.

OVERHEATING OF COOKING ZONE

– Cooking zone OFF: the cooking zone

display shows “ H ” and “ C” alternat­ing or just “ C ” blinking.

– Cooking zone ON: the cooking zone

display alternates between set power
level and “ C ”.

No power is delivered to the cooking

zone.

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.
