3 - How Induction Heating Works

Induction

Heating by induction is the most efficient form of cooking
available.
The heat is generated by an electromagnetic field, directly on
the bottom of the pan or pot used.
The surface which is free from contact remains virtually cold.
When the cooking time is up and the container is removed,
there is no residual heat. It is efficient become there is no waste
of energy due to dispersion, as happens with gas burners, it is
30 to 50% faster than normal hobs using HGL technology and
allows energy savings of up to 25%.
If liquid overflow from the container, it does not stick to the
surface of the hob, because this is just slightly warm.

Operating principle

This is based on the electromagnetic properties of most cooking
containers.
The electronic circuit governs the operation of the coil (inductor),
creating a magnetic field.
The heat is transmitted by the container to the food.
Te cooking process takes place as follows:

• minimum dispersion (high performance);

• the removal of the pan (simply lifting it) automatically stops
the system;

• the electronic system allows maximum flexibility and
precision of regulation.

4 - Induction Cooktop Operation

Before using the cooktop for the first time

• All products are wiped clean with solvents at the actory to
remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may
have remained from the manufacturing process.

• If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop
surface.

• Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A
thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.
It only takes a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the
glass top before its initial use.

• There may be a slight odour during the first several uses: this
is normal and will disappear.

• Optimum cooking result depends on the proper cookware
being selected and used.

• The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over
20 minutes after the elements have been turned off.

• The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material
resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other
object is dropped on it.

• Do nor allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan,
element and /or cooktop.

• Do not slide cookware across cooking surface it may scratch
the glass

• Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop Is not
recommended. Cast iron retains heat and may result in
cooktop damage.

4 burner cooktops with right and lift side (2) induction
generators.

5 burner cooktops with right and lift center (3) induction
generators.

Power Sharing

Four burner cooktops are divided into two separate heating

zones.
Five burner cooktops are divided into 3 zones.
One generator controls 2 elements, or two cooking zones

within a heating section share the power of one generator.
Power Sharing is activated when both elements in the same
cooking zone are activated and one element is set for Boost
(P). The element that is not set for Boost will change to a lower
power level. This is called Power Sharing.

Cookware “noise”

When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power
level setting, magnetic fields may interact and produce a low
whistle or intermitted “hum”. Pens that completely cover the
elements ring will produce less noise. A low “humming” noise
is normal particularly on high settings. These noises can be
reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level
settings of one or both of elements.

5 - User instructions

Residual heat indicator

This tells the user that the glass is at a dangerously high
heat in case of contract with the whole area over the
cooking zone. The temperature is determined using a
mathematical model and any residual heat is indicated
with an “H” by the corresponding seven-segment display.
Heating and cooling are calculated in relation to:

• the power level selected (from “0“ to “9“);

• the relay activation period.

After switching off the cooking zone, the corresponding display
shows an “H” until the temperature in the zone falls below
the critical level (≤ 60°C) in compliance with the mathematical
model.

Protection in the event of accidental switching on

• If the electronic control sense continuous activation of a key
for about 10 sec. it switches off automatically. The control
gives off an acoustic error, warning the user of the presence
of an object on the sensors. The displays show the permanent
error code, which will be displayed as long as the electronic
control senses the error. If the cooking zone “burns”, an “H”
will appear on the display, alternating with the error signal.

• If no cooking zone is activated within 10 seconds of switching
on the touch control, the control returns to stand-by mode.

• When the touch control is on, the ON/OFF key takes priority
over all the other key, so the touch control can be switched
off at any time, even in the case of multiple or continuous
activation of the keys.

• In stand-by mode, continuous activation of the keys will
have no effect. However, before the electronic control can
be switched on again, it must acknowledge that no key is
active.

Use

First of all, position the pan in the chosen cooking area. The
absence of the pan display means the system cannot start.

Pan detection

A certainty which distinguishes the knowledgeable use of
technology in favour of the consumer.

Precautions

• If there is even the tiniest crack in the ceramic glass surface,
immediately disconnect the hob from the electricity supply;

• during operation, move any magnetic materials such as
credit cards, computer disks, calculators, etc., away from
the area;

• never use cooking foil or rest products wrapped in foil
directly on the hob;

• metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids must
not be rested on the surface of the hob to prevent them from
heating up;

• when cooking with non-stick cookware, without using water
or oil, limit any preheating time to one or two minutes;

• when cooking foods which tend to stick to the bottom of
the pan, start at minimum power and gradually increase the
heat, stirring frequently;

• after use, turn off element manually (decreasing to “0”)
rather than relying on the pan detection sensor.

Pans

• If a magnet is attracted to the bottom of your cookware then
it is suitable for induction cooking;

• try to use pans declared as suitable for induction cooking;

• flat, thick-bottomed pans will perform most effectively;

• a 20 cm (8”) diameter saucepan can benefit from maximum
power;

• a small saucepan reduces the power but will not cause
energy dispersion. The use of cookware with a diameter of
less than 12 cm (3”) is not recommended;

• stainless steel cookware with multilayer bottom or ferrite
stainless steel if the bottom indicates: for induction;

• cast iron containers, better with an enamelled bottom to
avoid scratching the ceramic glass hob;

• containers made of glass, ceramic, terracotta, aluminium,
copper or non-magnetic stainless steel (austenitic) are
not recommended and are unsuitable unless using Fulgor
Milano’s adapter kit (INDUKIT).

YesNo No

Maintenance

Traces of foil, food residues, splashes of fat, sugar or very
sugary foods must be removed immediately from the hob using
a scraper to avoid damaging the hob surface. Then clean with
a proper ceran top cleaner and kitchen paper, rinse with water

and dry with a clean cloth. Never use abrasive sponges or
clothes and avoid using aggressive chemical cleansers such as
OVEN SPRAYS or STAIN REMOVERS. DO NOT USE STEAM
CLEANERS

Turning the cooktop on and off

The cooktop is turned on by pressing the “centre” On/Off
button (1), you will hear a short beep and the corresponding led
lights up. If a cooking zone is “hot”, the display will alternate
between “H” and “0”. After switching on, the touch control
remains active for 10 seconds. If you do not select either a
cooking zone or the times, the touch control automatically
returns to stand-by mode.

Acoustic signal (buzzer)

During use, the following activities are signalled by a buzzer:

• Normal pressing of the buttons with a short beep.

• Holding down buttons for more than 10 seconds with a long
intermittent sound (an error symbol is displayed and, if you
continue, the touch control is turned off).

Turning on a cooking area

Position a pot and touch an area of the cursor for the cooking
area where the pot is (8), slide your finger to the right to
increase the cooking level (10), or slide your finger to the left
to decrease it (9).

Turning off a cooking area

A single cooking area can be turned off directly by pressing
the (8) key for the cooking area that is working. Hot cooking
areas will be displayed with a letter “H”. You can turn off all
cooking areas immediately at any time using the power On/
Off button (1). If, during cooking, you inadvertently turn off
the surface while using the controls, you can turn it on again
with the On/Off button and you will have 6 seconds to press
the pause button (6) that will be indicated by the (7) flashing
of an indicator light above the button; doing so will turn the
surface on again with the same settings it had before it was
accidentally turned off.

Power level

The power level of the cooking area can be set from level 1
to level 9. A further level P (Power Booster) is available that
allows a very rapid heating of food and, therefore, saves you
time. The power level represented by an intermittent letter “A”
is the activation of the automatic heating function.

Booster and power management

The generator, with Booster enabled, provides an individual
cooking area power that is significantly higher than the rated
power; the display of the selected cooking area shows a “P”.
The Booster function can be activated by pressing at the end
of the cursor of the cooking area (11). The power increase is
different depending on the size of the cooking area:

1. For a cooking area with a diameter of 5 3/4” (145 mm),
the power goes from a level 9 of 1400 W to the Booster
level of 2200 W for 10 minutes.

2. For a cooking area with a diameter of 7” (180 mm), the
power goes from a level 9 of 1850 W to the Booster level
of 3000 W for 10 minutes.

3. For a rectangular cooking area 7 1/2” x 8 1/2” (190 mm
x 220 mm), the power goes from a level 9 of 2000 W to
the Booster level of 3600 W for 10 minutes.

4. For a cooking area with a diameter of 11” (280 mm), the
power goes from a level 9 of 2300 W to the Booster level
of 3600 W for 10 minutes.

For safety reasons, the Booster function has a limited duration

(10 min), after 10 min the zone is reduced to level 9.

If the cooking vessel is removed from the cooking area during
the Booster time, the Booster remains active and the Booster
time is not deactivated. With the Booster activated, changing
the value set with your finger in the cursor area deactivates
the Booster. The Booster function “P” can be activated in all
cooking areas, but priority is given to the last Booster activated,
reducing any other cooking levels.

Automatic preheating (or “heat-up” function)

This feature makes cooking easier by adding ‘boil and reduce’
functionality to the elements. The surface automatically heats
up at Full Power and then returns to the selected power level
after a certain time (see Table).

Activating automatic heating (or “heat-up” function)

Press and hold an area of the cursor for the cooking area that
is working for about 3 seconds until you hear a beep (such as
1/3 of the length of the cursor area). For example: Select level
3 and activate the automatic heating function by pressing your
finger for 3 seconds. The corresponding display shows the
letter “A” alternating with “3”. With these settings, the cooking
surface heats the cooking area at the maximum level “9” for 2
minutes and then continues cooking level at level “3”.

Bridge function (For large pans)

This function facilitates cooking with elongated pans, is only
available for the rectangular cooking areas and is activated
by simultaneously pressing the 2 cursors of the 2 cooking
areas involved. At this point, a “ ” icon will light up next
to the display of the levels and the cooking area can now
be controlled from only once cursor since the other will work
simultaneously at the same level. Once set to bridge mode,
the leftmost of the two sliders becomes the master controller
for both elements. To disable bridge mode, simply touch both
slider controls simultaneously at any point along the adjustment
bars.

Special functions (low temp)

This function is available in each cooking area and its activation
is indicated by one of the two dedicated icons (17 & 18). It is
possible to activate 2 “cooking” levels:

1. Melting with a temperature of approximately 45°C.

2. Simmering with a temperature of approximately 70°C.
These temperatures are approximate and are greatly

dependent on the pot and the quantity of food.
After turning on the desired heating zone by pressing the key

EN

12

(8), press the initial part of the cursor area (9) to activate the
function (MELT), if you want to switch to the function (SIMMER)
keep hold the cursor in the same position for a couple of
seconds.
Both low temperature functions operate for a maximum of 2
hours.

Control lock (child safety)

It can only be activated when the appliance is on but no cooking
area is in operation. Simultaneously press the key button (5)
and the pause button (6) and then press the key button (5).
The letter “L” will appear on both displays for 10 seconds and
then they will turn off. When you try to turn on the cooking
surface with the On/Off button (1), the letters “L” will be
displayed and it will not be possible to cook.

Deactivating control lock

There are two types of unlocking:

1. Unlocking for one time only: To disable the function, turn
on the cooking surface and simultaneously press the pause
(6) and key (5) buttons. The letters L disappear and all
the zones are enabled. If you turn off the cooking surface
after use, when it is turned on again, the letters L will be
displayed to indicate that the surface is locked. Essentially,
the cooktop will be safety locked automatically whenever
not in use but the special key combination described above
will be needed each time to use.

2. Permanent unlocking: To disable the function permanently,
turn on the cooking surface and simultaneously press the
pause (6) and key (5) buttons. Then release these 2 buttons
and press the Pause button (6) again.

Key

This cooking surface allows setting a keypad lock using the
lock button (5). It may be useful to lock the keypad during
operation, for example for cleaning the control area or, in any
case, if you do not want to change any settings. The On/Off
button (1) remains functional.

Pause

This cooking surface allows setting a pause (6) during cooking
(which is useful, for example, when answering a phone call).
When this function is pressed, an LED lights above the button
and the symbol “II” is displayed in all the cooking areas and
the cooking settings and timers are frozen for a maximum of
10 minutes, after which the cooking surface turns off.

Deactivating Pause

Once activated, the function can be deactivated by pressing
the pause button (6) again. The LED for the pause setting turns
off and, within 10 seconds, you must slide your finger along

the cursor below the illuminated area (from left to right). This
allows the surface to resume cooking and the timer starts from
the same point at which it was stopped.

Timer function

NOTE: the timer is only intended as an acoustic advisor that

recalls the attention of the user.

Timers have no effect on the heating elements. Cooking

zones must always be stopped manually by touching
the corresponding [OFF] key.

There are two versions of the timer function:

• An independent timer from 1 to 59 minutes: it beeps when
the time has run out. This function is always available and is
indicated by the clock symbol (24) which is located between
the - and + buttons (the symbol may be less bright if another
cooking area timer has a remaining time that is less than that
set on the independent timer).

• A timer from 1 to 59 minutes for each cooking area: it
beeps when the time has run out. The cooking areas can be
programmed independently (the symbol may be less bright if
another cooking area timer has a remaining time that is less
than that set on the independent timer).

The type of timer activated is shown in the dedicated displays.
The timer with the least time is highlighted and the related clock
icon is brighter (13-24). The other timer settings are still active
and running, but the clock icon (13-24) will be less bright.
Another icon with the word “min” (23) appears when you set
times longer than 10 minutes. For example 0.11 indicates 0
hours and 11 minutes. The separator dot (21) flashes when
the timer is running, while the dot is static while the timer is
selected and thus modifiable.

Independent timer

• If the touch display is on, the independent timer can be
used by simultaneously pressing the + and - buttons. If all
the cooking areas are in position “0”, this is the only timer
available. The clock icon (24) will turn on and the display
will show “0.00”. If you do not select any button, the timer
deactivates within 5 seconds.

• The time setting (0-1hour.59min) can be changed in
increments of one minute with the + button from 0 to 99.

• Holding down the + or - button dynamically increases the
rate of change up to a maximum value, without beeps.

• If the + (or -) button is released, the rate of increase (decrease)
starts again from the initial value.

• The timer can be set by either continuously pressing the +
or - buttons or by pressing successively (with beeps).

After the timer is set, it begins to count down. The expiry of
the time is signalled by a beep or by the flashing of the timer
display, which will show “00”.

EN

13

Turning off/changing the timer

• The timer can be changed or turned off at any time by turning
on the touch display again, if no cooking area is on, and
pressing the + and - buttons simultaneously to select the timer.
At this point, set it to “0” by pressing the - button, to turn it
off, or by pressing the + button to increase the time setting.

• The independent timer remains active even when the On/

By turning on the touch display, you can program an
independent timer for each cooking area.

• At least one cooking area must be on and set to a certain
level.

• By pressing the + and - buttons simultaneously, you can set
a countdown for turning off the cooking area. There are
illuminated clock icons (13) next to the display of the cooking
area. To set the timer on a cooking area when there are
more than one cooking area on, you must press the + and ­buttons simultaneously. You will note that the clock icon will
light and move to successive cooking areas each time you
simultaneously press the + and - buttons.

• When the timer of the cooking area is selected, the related
clock icon near the display becomes brighter (13). The timers
programmed for each cooking zone remain active.

• Other functions of the timer are the same as the independent
timer. To increase the time, use the + (plus) button.

• The beeping and flashing of the display stops:

a- Automatically after 2 minutes.
b- When you press the + or - buttons, the timer display turns off.
