Intended use
Read these instructions carefully. Please keep
the instruction and installation manual, as well
as the appliance certificate, in a safe place for
later use or for subsequent owners.
Check the appliance after removing it from the
packaging. If it has suffered any damage in
transport, do not connect the appliance,
contact the Technical Assistance Service and
provide written notification of the damage
caused, otherwise you will lose your right to
any type of compensation.
Only a licensed professional may connect
appliances without plugs. Damage caused by
incorrect connection is not covered under
warranty.
This appliance must be installed according to
the installation instructions included.
This appliance is intended for private domestic
use and the household environment only. The
appliance must only be used for the
preparation of food and beverages. The
cooking process must be supervised. A short
cooking process must be supervised without
interruption. Only use the appliance in
enclosed spaces.
This appliance is intended for use up to a
maximum height of 4000 metres above sea
level.
This appliance may be used by children over
the age of 8 years old and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or by persons with a lack of
experience or knowledge if they are supervised
or are instructed by a person responsible for
their safety how to use the appliance safely and
have understood the associated hazards.
Children must not play with, on, or around the
appliance. Children must not clean the
appliance or carry out general maintenance
unless they are at least 15 years old and are

Causes of damage
Causes of damage
Caution!
– Rough pan bases may scratch the hob.
– Avoid leaving empty pots and pans on the hotplate.
Doing so may cause damage.
– Do not place hot pans on the control panel, the
indicator area, or the hob frame. Doing so may
cause damage.
– Hard or pointed objects dropped on the hob may
damage it.
– Aluminium foil and plastic containers will melt if
placed on the hotplate while it is hot. The use of
laminated sheeting is not recommended on the hob.

Environmental protection
Environmental protection
In this section, you can find information about saving
energy and disposing of the appliance.
Energy-saving advice
▯ Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking
without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid
to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
▯ Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use
a lot more energy.
▯ The diameter of the pan base must match the size
of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers
usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan,
which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan
base.
▯ Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large
pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
▯ Use little water when cooking. This saves energy
and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in
vegetables.
▯ Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If
the power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly
manner.

Induction cooking
Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is very different from traditional
cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item
of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:
▯ Saves time when boiling and frying.
▯ Saves energy.
▯ Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
▯ Heat control and safety – the hob increases or
decreases the heat supply as soon as the user
changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops
the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed
from the hotplate, without having to switch it off
first.
Cookware
Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking,
such as:
▯ Cookware made from enamelled steel
▯ Cookware made from cast iron
▯ Special induction-compatible cookware made from
stainless steel.
To check whether your cookware is suitable for
induction cooking, refer to the section entitled
"Cookware test".
~
This appliance is labelled in accordance with
European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances
(waste electrical and electronic equipment WEEE). The guideline determines the
framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic
area on the base of the pan should match the size of the
hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect the cookware, try
placing the cookware on another hotplate with a smaller
diameter.
FP
FP
FP
If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking
zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this
zone can be used. You can read more information on the
positioning of the cookware here
8
Induction cooking en
Some induction cookware does not have a fully
ferromagnetic base:
▯ If the base of the cookware is only partially
ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic
will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be
distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may
not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
▯ The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the
material from which the base of the cookware is
made contains aluminium, for example. This may
mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently
hot or even that it will not be detected.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
▯ common thin steel
▯ glass
▯ earthenware
▯ copper
▯ aluminium
No cookware on hotplate/cookware of an unsuitable
size
If no cookware is placed on the selected hotplate, if the
cookware is made of an unsuitable material or if it is not
the right size for the hotplate, the hotplate indicator will
start to flash. To stop the indicator flashing, place
suitable cookware on the hotplate. If it is left flashing for
more than 9minutes, the hotplate will automatically
switch off.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base.
The hob is equipped with an internal safety system.
However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the
"automatic switch off" function may not have time to
react and the pan may reach very high temperatures.
The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on
the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch
the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled
down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This
depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of
the cookware and the material from which its base is
made. For this reason, you should always use the
hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of
the pan.
Automatic detection in two-ring and three-ring
hotplates
These hotplates can detect cookware of different sizes.
Depending on the material and the properties of the
cookware, the hotplate automatically activates the one-,
two- or three-ring hotplate in order for the correct heat
output to be supplied to achieve good cooking results.
Properties of the base of the cookware
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans
made from materials that distribute heat evenly through
them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer
base, saves time and energy.
Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the
cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.

Residual heat indicator
The hob has a residual heat indicator for each hotplate.
This indicates that the hotplate is still hot. Do not touch
the hotplate while the residual heat indicator is still lit or
immediately after it goes out.
The following will be shown depending on the amount of
residual heat:
▯ •: High temperature
▯ œ: Low temperature

flash and the control knob will be lit orange.
Turn the control knob to position 0.
If the hotplate is switched off, the residual heat
indicator will be lit and the illuminated ring around the
control knob will flash. Even after the hob has been
switched off, the residual heat indicator will remain lit as
long as the hotplate is still warm.
The illuminated ring on the control knob lights up
orange during operation. You can choose between two
