SAFETY
Pr
ec
autions before using
Unpack all the materials.
The installation and connecting of the appliance have to be done by approved
specialists. The manufacturer can not be responsible for damage caused by building-in
or connecting errors.
To be used, the appliance must be well-equipped and installed in a kitchen unit and an
adapted and approved work surface.
This domestic appliance is exclusively for the cooking of food, to the exclusion of any
other domestic, commercial or industrial use.
Remove all labels and self-adhesives from the ceramic glass.
Do not change or alter the appliance.
The cooking plate can not be used as freestanding or as working surface.
The appliance must be grounded and connected conforming to local standards.
Do not use any extension cable to connect it.
The appliance can not be used above a dishwasher or a tumble-dryer: steam may
damage the electronic appliances.
Using the appliance
Switch the heating zones off after using.
Keep an eye on the cooking using grease or oils: that may quickly ignite.
Be careful not to burn yourself while or after using the appliance.
Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts with the glass or the hot
saucepan.
Magnetically objects (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators) should not be placed near to
the engaged appliance.
Do not place any metallic object except heating containers. In case of untimely engaging
or residual heat, this one may heat, melt or even burn.
Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet. This is supposed to become
very hot and catch fire.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob
surface since they can get hot.

Prec
autions not to damage the appliance
Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots,) may damage
the ceramic glass.
Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not contact with the heating zones.
These may cause breaks or other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch
on the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating zone (be careful: do
not burn yourself).
Never place any hot container over the control panel.
If a drawer is situated under the embedded appliance, make sure the space between the
content of the drawer and the inferior part of the appliance is large enough (2cm). This is
essential to guaranty a correct ventilation.
Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer situated under the
vitroceramic hob. The eventual cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.
Precautions in case of appliance failure
If a defect is noticed, switch on the appliance and turn off the electrical supplying.
If the ceramic glass is cracked or fissured, you must unplug the appliance and contact
the after sales service.
Repairing has to be done by specialists. Do not open the appliance by yourself.
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
Other protections
Note sure that the container pan is always centred on the cooking zone. The bottom of
the pan must have to cover as much as possible the cooking zone.
For the users of pacemaker, the magnetic field could influence its operating. We
recommend getting information to the retailer or of the doctor.
Do not to use aluminium or synthetic material containers: they could melt on still hot
cooking zones.
DO NO
T USE INTERMEDIATE REMOVABLE ACCESSORIES TO HEAT
PANS WHICH ARE NOT ADAPTED TO INDUCTION.

Control panel
USE
Sensi
tive touches
Your ceramic hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch 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.
Touch only one key on the same time.

Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories
brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts his high speed
when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops automatically
when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.
STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Befor
e 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 (please verify it thanks a little magnet): cast
iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…
Are excluded: cupper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic,
stoneware…
The induction heating zone adapts automatically 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
].

or press [ - ] [ 0 ] or [ H ]
If no setting are made in 20 seconds the hob return in waiting position.
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 shows
[ U
].
The
symbol [ U
]
di
sappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The
cooking continues with the power level chosen before.
Residual heat indication
After the switch-off of the hob, the heating zone is still hot and indicates [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zone may be touched without danger.
As far as the residual heat indicator is on light, don’t touch the heating zone and don’t put any
heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.
Booster function
The booster function [ P ] grants a boost of power to the selected heating zone.
If this function is activated the heating zones works during 10 minutes with an ultra high power.
The booster is foreseen for example to heat up rapidely big quantities of water, like nuddles
cooking.

Power management :
The whole
cooking hob is equipped by a maximum of power. When the booster function
isactivated, and not to exceed the maximum power, the electronic system orders to reduce
automatically the power level of an other heating zone. The display is blinking on [ 9 ] during a
few seconds and then shows the maximum of power allowed ( [ 6 ] or [ 8 ] ).

COOKI
NG ADVICES
Pa
n q
uality
Adapted materials : steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, ferromagnetic stainless-steel,
aluminium with ferromagnetic bottom.
Not adapted materials : aluminium and stainless-steel without ferromagnetic bottom, cupper,
brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
The manufacturers specify if their products are compatible induction.
To check if pans are compatibles:
Put a littler water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [ 9 ].This water
must heat in a few seconds.
A magnet stuck on the bottom of the pan.
Some 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.
Pan dimension
The cooking zones are, until a certain limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan.
However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according to the
corresponding cooking zone.
To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan well in the center of the cooking
zone.
