data plate correspond with the household electrical supply. These ratings
must match to prevent damaging the cooktop. If in doubt, consult a qualified
electrician.
• Before installation, maintenance or repair work is performed, disconnect the
cooktop from the electrical power supply.
• Multiple power outlets or extension cords are not safe (risk of fire). Do not use
them to connect the cooktop to the electrical power supply.
• To ensure safe operation, use the cooktop only when it has been properly
installed.
• Do not under any circumstances open the cooktop housing. Any contact with
connections carrying voltage or changes to the electrical or mechanical set-up
will endanger you and may impair the functioning of the cooktop.
• Only with original spare parts can the manufacturer guarantee the safety of the
appliance. Defective components should only be replaced with original parts.
• Risk of electric shock! If the cooktop is defective or chipped, cracked or broken
in any way, immediately switch it off and do not continue to use it. Disconnect it
from the electrical power supply.
• WARNING: If the supply cord of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
Proper use
• WARNING: The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use.
Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements.
• WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and
may result in fire. NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the
appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a lid or a fire blanket.
• WARNING: The cooktop is hot during use and remains so for some time after
being switched off. The risk of burns remains until the residual heat indicators
have gone out.
• CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking
process has to be supervised continuously.
• DANGER OF FIRE: Do not store items on the cooking surfaces!
• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on
4
important safety instructions
the hob surface since they can become hot.
• Always switch the cooking zones off after use!
• Spray cans, flammable liquids or flammable materials can ignite if heated. If
there is a drawer below the appliance, do not store flammable items in the
drawer. If there is a cutlery tray below the cooktop, it must be made of heatresistant material.
• Flames can set fire to the grease filters in the exhaust hood. Never flambé food
under an exhaust hood.
• Never heat empty cookware or an empty pot! This can damage the glass
ceramic surface.
• Never use the cooktop to heat closed cans. The increased pressure can cause
the cans to explode.
• If using a small appliance (e.g. a hand mixer) in the vicinity of the cooktop, make
sure that the power cord does not come into contact with the hot cooktop. The
insulation of the cord could get damaged.
• Salt, sugar, and grains of sand or dirt (e.g. from fresh vegetables) between the
cookware and the cooktop can cause scratches. Keep cooktop and cookware
clean.
• Rough cookware can scratch the glass ceramic surface. Use only pots and
pans with a smooth bottom.
• Even light objects such as a salt shaker can cause cracks and chips if they
fall on the glass ceramic surface. Do not drop anything on the glass ceramic
surface.
• Hot objects on the sensor areas or indicators can damage the electronics
underneath. Never place hot pots or pans on the sensor areas or indicators.
• Metal objects stored in a drawer under the cooktop can become hot when the
cooktop is in heavy use over a longer period of time. Do not store metal objects
in a drawer under the cooktop!
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or
separate remote-control system.
• For users who wear a pacemaker: When the cooktop is in use it is surrounded
by an electromagnetic field. It is unlikely that this will affect a pacemaker.
However, if in doubt consult the manufacturer of the pacemaker or your doctor.
• Objects affected by electromagnetic fields, for instance credit cards, CDs and
calculators, should be kept away from the cooktop when it is on.
• Because induction heating works so quickly, the temperature of the cookware
bottom can quickly reach the ignition point of oils and fats. Never leave the
cooktop unattended during use!
• The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. If there is a drawer below the
installed appliance, you will need to ensure there is enough space to allow for
ventilation. Do not use the drawer to store sharp or small objects or paper. They
could pass through or be sucked into the vents in the housing and damage the
fan blades or otherwise interfere with cooling.

induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
ENGLISH
When cooking with induction, heat is generated directly in the base of the pan.
This provides many benefits for you:
• Time saving when boiling and frying. Cookware is heated directly.
• Less energy is consumed.
• Easy cleaning and maintenance. Spilled food does not burn onto the cooktop
so quickly.
• Controlled supply of heat and increased safety. The burner reacts immediately
to any power change, so heating can be dosed precisely. Heating is interrupted
when you remove the cookware from the burner even if the burner is still
switched on.
Cookware
Only ferromagnetic cookware made of the following materials is suitable for
induction cooktops:
• Enameled steel
• Cast iron
• Induction-capable cookware of stainless steel.
To determine whether the cookware is
suitable, check whether the base of the pot
or pan attracts a magnet.
There are other induction-capable pots
and pans whose bases are not completely
ferromagnetic. If the base of the cookware it’s
not completely ferromagnetic, only the area
that is magnetizable will get hot. Thus it can
happen that the heat is not distributed evenly.
To get good cooking results, we recommend that the dimension of the
ferromagnetic area of the cookware match the size of the burner.
Unsuitable cookware
Do not ever use adapter plates for induction or cookware made of:
• Traditional stainless steel
• Glass
• Clay
• Copper
• Aluminum

cleaning and care
Important information
ENGLISH
• Clean regularly the appliance to prevent the deterioration of the surface
material.
• Deactivate the appliance and let it cool down before you clean it.
• Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before maintenance.
• Do not use water spray and steam to clean the appliance.
• Clean the appliance with a moist soft cloth. Only use neutral detergents.
• Do not use abrasive products, abrasive cleaning pads, solvents or metal
objects.
General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with clean bottom.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface have no effect on how the hob
operates.
• Use a special cleaner applicable for the surface of the hob.
• Use a special scraper for the glass.
Cleaning the cooktop
18
• Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, and food with sugar.
If not, the dirt can cause damage to the
cooktop. Put the special scraper on
the glass surface at an acute angle and
move the blade on the surface.
• Remove when the hob is sufficiently
cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat
stains, shiny metallic discoloration.
Clean the cooktop with a moist cloth
and non-abrasive detergent. After
cleaning, wipe the cooktop dry with a
soft cloth.
protecting the environment
Disposal of the packing material
The cardboard box and packing materials protect the appliance during shipping.
They have been designed to be biodegradable and recyclable.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out
of the reach of children. Danger of suffocation!
Disposal of your old appliance
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of
in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected
separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they
contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed-out dustbin symbol on the product reminds you of your
obligation regarding separated waste collection. Consumers should
contact their local public service or their local dealer for more information
on the correct disposal of exhausted household appliances.
Energy-saving advice
• Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result
in a four-fold increase in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid
having to lift the lid.
• Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bases increase
energy consumption.
• The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the element. If not, energy
may be wasted. Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan’s upper
diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan’s base.
• Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook.
A large pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy.
• Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables
retain a larger percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
• Select a lower power level.

ITALIANO
Sicurezza tecnica
• Lavori di installazione e manutenzione, nonché riparazioni, devono essere eseguiti
da personale specializzato. Lavori o riparazioni non correttamente eseguiti possono
creare seri pericoli per l’utente. Il produttore non risponde di questo tipo di danni.
25
avvertenze per la sicurezza
• Per questioni di sicurezza, il piano di cottura deve essere usato solo dopo essere
ITALIANO
stato incassato.
• Prima di procedere all’incasso controllare se il piano di cottura presenta eventuali
danni visibili. Non mettere mai in funzione un apparecchio danneggiato. Un
apparecchio danneggiato può essere rischioso per la sicurezza.
• Prima di allacciare il piano di cottura bisogna confrontare i dati di allacciamento
(tensione e frequenza), riportati sulla targhetta, con quelli della rete elettrica Questi
dati devono assolutamente corrispondere, altrimenti la macchina potrebbe subire
dei danni. In caso di dubbi rivolgersi a un elettricista.
• La sicurezza elettrica è garantita solo se il piano di cottura è allacciato a un regolare
collegamento a terra. È molto importante assicurarsi che questa premessa sia
verificata, perché fondamentale per la sicurezza. In caso di dubbi, far controllare
l’impianto elettrico da un elettricista qualificato. Il produttore non risponde dei
danni (ad es. scossa elettrica) causati da un conduttore di protezione interrotto o
addirittura assente.
• Non aprire mai l’involucro dell’apparecchio. L’eventuale contatto con parti sotto
tensione o la modifica delle strutture elettriche o meccaniche possono causare
anomalie di funzionamento.
• Per eseguire i lavori di installazione e di manutenzione nonché di riparazione
scollegare l’apparecchio dalla rete elettrica.
• Sostituire eventuali pezzi guasti o difettosi con ricambi originali; solo usando pezzi
di ricambio originali si garantisce il rispetto degli standard di sicurezza.
• Non allacciare il piano di cottura alla rete elettrica con prolunghe o prese multiple,
perché non garantiscono la necessaria sicurezza (ad es. rischio di surriscaldamento).
• Pericolo di scossa elettrica! Non mettere in funzione o spegnere subito il
piano di cottura se la lastra in vetroceramica è danneggiata o crepata. Staccare
l’apparecchio dalla rete elettrica.
• ATTENZIONE: Se il cavo di alimentazione dell’apparecchio è danneggiato deve
essere sostituito dal produttore, dal servizio assistenza autorizzato o da personale
qualificato al fine di evitare rischi.
Impiego corretto
• ATTENZIONE: L’apparecchio e le sue parti accessibili diventano caldi durante l’uso.
Si deve prestare attenzione per evitare di toccare gli elementi riscaldanti.
• ATTENZIONE: La cottura con olio o grasso può essere pericolosa e può provocare
incendi. Se olio o grasso dovessero incendiarsi, non utilizzare MAI acqua per cercare
di spegnere il fuoco. Soffocare le fiamme ad es. con un coperchio, un panno da
cucina umido o simili.
• ATTENZIONE: Il piano di cottura è molto caldo quando è in funzione e rimane caldo
anche per un certo tempo dopo averlo spento. Il rischio di ustione non sussiste più
solo quando si spengono le spie del calore residuo.
• ATTENZIONE: Il normale processo di cottura deve essere sorvegliato. Un processo
di cottura di breve durata deve essere sorvegliato continuamente. Pentole dalle quali
evaporano completamente i liquidi possono provocare danni al piano in vetroceramica.
Grasso o olio surriscaldati possono iniziare a bruciare e provocare un incendio.
26
avvertenze per la sicurezza
• Pericolo di incendio: Non conservare oggetti sulle superfici di cottura!
• Oggetti metallici quali coltelli, forchette, cucchiai e coperchi non devono essere posti
sulla superficie del piano di cottura in quanto possono surriscaldarsi.
• Spegnere sempre le zone di cottura dopo l’uso!
• Se sotto il piano di cottura è posizionato un cassetto, si consiglia di non conservarvi
oggetti infiammabili, come per esempio bombolette spray. Il portaposate del
cassetto, se presente, deve essere in materiale resistente al calore.
• Non preparare pietanze flambé sotto la cappa aspirante. Le fiamme possono
arrivare alla cappa e incendiarla.
• Non riscaldare mai pentole e padelle senza contenuto, se non espressamente
consentito dalla casa produttrice.
• Non riscaldare contenitori chiusi, p.es. in latta, sulle zone di cottura. La
sovrappressione generata potrebbe far scoppiare il contenitore. Pericolo di ferirsi e
ustionarsi.
• Se nelle immediate vicinanze del piano di cottura si utilizza un apparecchio elettrico,
p.es. un frullatore, fare attenzione che il cavo di alimentazione elettrica non venga a
contatto con il piano. L’isolamento del cavo potrebbe danneggiarsi.
• Tenere sempre pulito il piano di cottura. Sale, zucchero o granelli di sabbia, ad es.
derivanti da verdure mondate, possono graffiarlo.
• Usare solo pentole e padelle a fondo liscio. Pentole e padelle con fondo ruvido
possono graffiare il piano in vetroceramica.
• Attenzione a non far cadere sulla superficie in vetroceramica oggetti oppure stoviglie.
Anche oggetti leggeri (p.es. una saliera) possono crepare o danneggiare la lastra di
vetroceramica.
• Non appoggiare mai pentole o padelle molto calde sull’area comandi. L’elettronica,
situata sotto i comandi, potrebbe riportare dei danni.
• Oggetti metallici conservati in un cassetto posto sotto l’apparecchio possono
diventare incandescenti se l’apparecchio viene usato in maniera prolungata.
• L’apparecchio non è destinato ad essere utilizzato per mezzo di un timer esterno o
un sistema di comando a distanza separato.
• Avvertenza per persone con pacemaker: tenere presente che nelle immediate
vicinanze dell’apparecchio in funzione si genera un campo elettromagnetico. La
possibilità che il funzionamento del pacemaker ne risenta è molto remota. In caso di
dubbi rivolgersi al produttore del pacemaker o al proprio medico.
• Oggetti magnetizzabili, ad es. carte di credito, floppy disk, calcolatrici tascabili non
devono essere tenuti nelle immediate vicinanze dell’apparecchio in funzione, perché
questo potrebbe compromettere il loro funzionamento.
• Dato che i piani di cottura a induzione riscaldano molto velocemente, la temperatura
del fondo può eventualmente raggiungere il punto di autocombustione di grassi e oli.
• L’apparecchio è dotato di una ventola di raffreddamento. Se sotto il piano di cottura
incassato si trova un cassetto, deve essere garantita una certa distanza tra il
contenuto del cassetto e la parte inferiore dell’apparecchio, per non comprometterne
la ventilazione. Oggetti piccoli o appuntiti non devono essere conservati nel cassetto.
Potrebbero essere risucchiati all’interno dell’apparecchio attraverso le feritoie di
ventilazione e danneggiare la ventola o pregiudicare il sistema di raffreddamento.

la cottura a induzione
Vantaggi della cottura a induzione
ITALIANO
Nel sistema di cottura ad induzione il calore si genera direttamente alla base della
pentola, per questo motivo presenta una serie di vantaggi:
• Risparmio di tempo mentre si bollono cibi o si frigge, grazie al riscaldamento
proveniente direttamente dal recipiente.
• Risparmio di energia.
• Cura e pulizia più semplici. Gli alimenti fuoriusciti non si bruciano con rapidità.
• Controllo della temperatura e maggiore sicurezza. L’induttore reagisce
immediatamente alle variazioni della temperatura, in questo modo la potenza
può essere dosata in modo preciso. La zona di cottura a induzione smette di
produrre calore non appena si toglie la pentola anche se l’induttore è ancora
acceso.
Pentole adatte
Solo pentole/recipienti ferromagnetici sono adatti alla cottura ad induzione e
possono essere in:
• Acciaio smaltato
• Ghisa
• Recipienti/pentole speciali per induzione in acciaio inossidabile.
Per sapere se i recipienti sono adeguati,
verificare che siano attratti da un magnete.
Esistono in commercio alcune pentole
speciali per induzione i cui fondi non sono
totalmente ferromagnetici. In questo caso
si scalda solamente la zona magnetizzabile,
pertanto può succedere che il calore non
venga distribuito uniformemente.
Per ottenere una buona cottura vi suggeriamo di utilizzare pentole la cui zona
ferromagnetica abbia le stesse dimensioni della pentola.
Recipienti non adatti
Non utilizzare in nessun caso piastre di adattamento per l’induzione o pentole
fatte in:
• Acciao inox standard
• Vetro
• Terracotta
• Rame
• Alluminio
