Safety Chain

*

! In order
to prevent
accidental
tipping of the
appliance, for
example by
a child clim­bing onto the
oven door, the
supplied safety
chain MUST be
installed!

The cooker is fitted with a safety chain to be fixed by
means of a screw (not supplied with the cooker) to
the wall behind the appliance, at the same height as
the chain is attached to the appliance.

Choose the screw and the screw anchor according
to the type of material of the wall behind the applian­ce. If the head of the screw has a diameter smaller
than 9mm, a washer should be used. Concrete wall
requires the screw of at least 8mm of diameter, and
60mm of length.

Ensure that the chain is fixed to the rear wall of the
cooker and to the wall, as shown in figure, so that
after installation it is tensioned and parallel to the

ground level.

oven; this will prevent the enamel coating from being
damaged.
! Always place cookware on the rack(s) provided.

Cooling ventilation

In order to cool down the external temperature of the
oven, a cooling fan blows a stream of air between the
control panel and the oven door. At the beginning of
the PYROLYTIC cycle, the cooling fan operates at low
speed.
! Once cooking has been completed, the cooling fan
remains on until the oven has cooled down sufficiently.

Automatic cooking modes

BARBECUE mode
The high and direct temperature of the grill is
recommended for food which requires a high surface
temperature. Always cook in this mode with the oven
door closed

MULTILEVEL mode
Since the heat remains constant throughout the oven, the air
cooks and browns food in a uniform manner. A maximum of
two racks may be used at the same time.

ROASTING mode
This combination of features increases the effectiveness of
the unidirectional thermal radiation provided by the heating
elements through the forced circulation of the air throughout
the oven.
This helps prevent food from burning on the surface and
allows the heat to penetrate right into the food. Always cook
in this mode with the oven door closed.

SPIT ROAST mode
The function is ideal for rotisserie spit cooking. Always cook
in this mode with the oven door closed.

LOW TEMPERATURE modes
This type of cooking can be used for proving, defrosting,
preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the required speed and
slow cooking at low temperatures. The temperature options
are: 40, 65, 90 °C.

!

BRIOCHE mode

Ideal for baked desserts (made using natural yeast).
Place the food inside the oven when it has heated up.
If you wish to cook a pizza, set the temperature to 220
‘C.

! The temperature and cooking duration are pre-
set values, guaranteeing a perfect result every time

- automatically. These values are set using the C.O.P.®
(Programmed Optimal Cooking) system. The cooking cycle

stops automatically and the oven indicates when the dish is
cooked. The cooking duration may be modified by a period
of several minutes, as specified in the description of the
individual functions below.

PIZZA mode
Use this function to make pizza. Please see the following
chapter for further details. It will only be possible to adjust the
duration by -5/+5 minutes.
To achieve the best possible results, we recommend that you
carefully observe the instructions below:

• Follow the recipe.

• The weight of the dough should be between 500 g and

700 g.

• Lightly grease the dripping pan and the baking trays.
Place the food inside the oven while it is still cold. If
you wish to place the food in the oven after it has been
preheated, immediately following a high-temperature cooking
programme, the text “Hot” will appear on the display until the
temperature of the oven has fallen to 120°. At this point it will
be possible to place the pizza in the oven.

Practical cooking advice

! Do not place racks in position 1 and 5 during fan-assisted
cooking. This is because excessive direct heat can burn
temperature sensitive foods.

! In the SPIT ROAST and ROASTING cooking modes, place
the dripping pan in position 1 to collect cooking residues (fat
and/or grease).

GB

MULTILEVEL

• Use positions 2 and 4, placing the food which requires
more heat on 2.

• Place the dripping pan on the bottom and the rack on top.

PIZZA

• Use a light aluminium pizza pan. Place it on the rack
provided. For a crispy crust, do not use the dripping pan
as it prevents the crust from forming by extending the total
cooking time.

• If the pizza has a lot of toppings, we recommend adding
the mozzarella cheese on top of the pizza halfway through
the cooking process.

Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make
sure that:

• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with
the law.

• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located
on the appliance itself.

• The voltage falls within the range of values indicated on
the data plate.

• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance.
If the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an
authorised technician to replace it. Do not use extension
cords or multiple sockets.

! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply

cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.

! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by

authorised technicians only.

! The manufacturer declines any liability should these

safety measures not be observed.

! Do not remove or replace the power supply cable for any
reason. Its removal or replacement will void the warranty
and the CE marking. INDESIT does not assume liability for
accidents or damage arising from replacement/removal
of the original power supply cable. Replacement can only
be accepted when carried out by personnel authorised
by INDESIT and using an original spare part.

! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease

on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend
you remove these with a special non-abrasive cleaning
product. During the first few hours of use there may be a
smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.

! A few seconds after the hob is connected to the electricity

supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may now be switched
on.

Types of noise during normal hob operation:

• Buzz: due to the vibration of the metallic parts that
make up the induction element and the pot; it is
generated by the electromagnetic field required for
heating and increases as the power of the induction
element increases.

• Soft whistle: heard when the pot placed on the heating
zone is empty; the noise disappears once food or
water is placed into the pot.

• Crackle: produced by the vibration of materials on the
bottom of the pot due to the flow of parasitic currents
caused by electromagnetic fields (induction); can
be more or less intense depending on the material
making up the bottom of the pot, and decreases as
the pot dimensions increase.

12

• Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements
of the same group function simultaneously at
maximum power and/or when the booster function
is set on the larger element while the other is auto­adjusted. Noise is reduced by decreasing the power
level of the auto-adjusted induction element; pot
bottom layers made of different kinds of materials
are among the main causes of this noise.

• Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob
functions correctly and to safeguard the electronic
unit from possible overheating. The fan functions at
maximum power when the large induction element is
at maximum power or when the booster function is on;
in all other cases, it works at average power depending
on the temperature detected. Furthermore, the fan may
continue to work even after switching the hob off, if the
temperature detected is high.

The types of noise listed above are due to induction
technology and are not necessarily operational faults.

! If the (-) or (+)button is pressed for an extended period

of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power
levels and timer minutes.

Initial Light Conditions

When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the to­uch control conducts a calibration process for the to­uch keys, which requires a low level of ambient light in
the area of the touch keys.
If during this calibration process excessive ambient
lighting is detected the User Interface displays „FL”
(Infrared Ambient Light Error) and the control cali­bration process is suspended. In order to rectify the
process any lighting that could effect the calibration
process should be switched off (e.g. halogen cooker
hood lighting). The error will disappear when satisfac­tory ambient lighting is detected and the touch control
calibration procedure will now complete satisfactorily.

-The „FL” error can only be generated within approx 3s

of initial power being applied to the cooktop.

-We recommend that the user switches off all cooker

hood lighting and lighting directed towards the cook­top when power is initially applied to the cooktop.

-After the touch control has conducted its initial cali-

bration process, (approx 3s) any cooker hood or other
lighting can be switched on as normal and will not af-

fect the operation of the touch control.

Switching on the hob

After connecting the hob to the electricity mains, the
touch pannel might be automatically locked. To un­clock the pannel press and hold the Control Panel

Practical advice on using the appliance

! Use cookware made from materials which are
compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic
material). We especially recommend pans made from:
cast iron, coated steel or special stainless steel adapted
for induction. Use a magnet to test the compatibility of
the cookware.

In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:

• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the
cooking zone.

• Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough
to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available
heat.

Overheating protection

If the electronic elements overheat, the number signalizing
the power level starts flashing, and the letter “c” appears
on the display. When the temperature has reached a
suitable level, this message disappears and the hob may
be used again.

Safety switch

The appliance has a safety switch which automatically
switches the cooking zones off after they have been in
operation for a certain amount of time at a particular power
level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the display
shows “0”.
For example: the right rear hotplate is set to 5 and will
switch off after 5 hours of continuous operation, while the
front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 8 hours.

When one or more keys are activated for more than
10 sec. the touch control. switches off
A warning beep sounds is emmited every 10
sec., while the key/s is/are activated.
With all heaters at zero power during 10 sec. the
Cooktop is switched off.
If the switching off is due to an accidental activa-

tion of keys, the touch control actuates as above.

• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean
and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both
the cooking zones and the cookware.

• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used
on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners
may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere
correctly.

Safety devices

Pan sensor

Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor device.
The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with suitable
measurements for the cooking zone is placed on it.

The “u” sign on the display appears if after
selecting the cooking zone the pan is not placed on a
heater , or in case of:

Buzzer

This can also indicate several irregularities:

• An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on the
control panel for more than 10 seconds.

• Something has been spilt on the control panel.

• A button has been pressed for too long. All of the above
situations may cause the buzzer to sound. Remove the
cause of the malfunction to stop the buzzer. If the cause
of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep
sounding and the hob will switch off.

Errors and Alarms

When an error is detected, the whole appliance or the
heater/s are switched off, a beep sounds (only if one or
more heaters are active) and all displays show a ‘F’
letter and the error code (an index number or a letter)
alternately.
If the problem does not disappear by itself, please
contact the Technical Service.

Care of the Ceramic Hob

The Working of the Heating Zones

Heating only occurs within the marked circular cooking
zones. The zones heat up and cool down quicker, providing
greater controllability for sensitive foods. Each heating zone
is equipped with a thermal limiter which is a safety cut-out
which prevents the ceramic glass from overheating. After
several minutes at full power without a pan on the heating
zone the thermal limiter will switch the heating elements off
and on automatically to avoid any damage to the ceramic
glass.

The HOT HOB indicator light:

This indicates that the temperature of the corresponding
cooking zone is greater than 60°C, even when the heating
element has been switched off but is still hot.

Choice of saucepans

It is essential that the saucepan’s you use on the ceramic
hob are suitable.

ALWAYS USE:

x Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.
x saucepan's manufactured from aluminium (enamelled

or machined) or stainless steel.

x Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan must cover

the heating zone completely.

x saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to reduce

cooking time and energy use.

NEVER USE:

x Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as these

will extend cooking times, waste electricity and cause
damaging, local hotspots on the glass surface.

x Pans with ridged or recessed bases.
x Pans with damaged or rough bases which could scratch

the glass surface.

x Glass or glass ceramic utensils.

Do Not
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition,

follow these simple guidelines:

Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a cooking

utensil, as this will result in damage to the surface
of the hob.

Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage may

occur to the smooth surface of the hob.

Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as this

will cause scratches in the surface of the hob.

Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact with

the hob surround.

Do not place anything between the base of the utensil

and the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos
mats, aluminium or wok stand.

Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items on

the hob when it is not in use.

Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic

containers on the hob.

Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched On

unless they are being used.

Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they are

switched On. We recommend not to place large
preserving pans or fish kettles across two heating
areas.

Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas.

Always ensure that they are placed centrally over
the heated areas and have the same diameter as
the heating area used.

Do
Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both clean

and dry. Dirt or moisture between the pan and the

hob can cause pitting of the surface of the glass.
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base
diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on the
front cooking areas.

Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned

safely.
Always take extra care when cooking foods with a high

sugar content eg. jam, as spillage will cause

damage to the surface of the glass.

Always clean spills immediately (see Care and Cleaning).

IMPORTANT As with any cooking appliance there could

be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly
for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil must not
be left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone) on or in
close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.

1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the

appropriate heating area.

2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or oil.

3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or

cooking period.

4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially

frozen food. This only lowers the temperature of the oil
or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.

5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it

slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular,
will cause frothing and spitting if added too quickly.

6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.

7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from streaks

of oil or fat.

8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob.

Safety requirements for deep fat frying

In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:

1. Switch Off the electricity supply.

NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and injuries
are caused almost invariably by picking up the burning
pan and rushing outside with it.

2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.

NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan fire, as
the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over.
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that you FACE
and ARMS are WELL PROTECTED from the flames to
save you from becoming hurt.

3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE PAN TO

COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE MOVING
IT.

4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade

immediately.

The hob complies with all current standards on

electromagnetic interference.

Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in

keeping with legal requirements (89/336/CEE
directives). It is designed not to create
interference on any other electrical apparatus
being used on condition that the apparatus in
question also complies with this legislation.

Your induction hob generates short-range

magnetic fields.

To avoid any interference between your induction

hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be
designed to comply with relevant regulations.

In this respect, we can only guarantee our own

product conformity. Please consult the pacemaker
manufacturer or your doctor concerning its
conformity or any possible incompatibility.

• After using the hob, switch it off using the
corresponding control device; do not rely solely
on the pan sensor.

Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe
local legislation so that the packaging may be
reused.

Respecting and conserving the
environment

• You can help to reduce the peak load of the
electricity supply network companies by using the
oven in the hours between late afternoon and the
early hours of the morning. The cooking mode
programming options, and particularly the
“delayed cooking” mode (
make this possible.

• Always keep the oven door closed when using the
SPIT ROAST and ROASTING modes. this will
achieve improved results while saving energy
(approximately 10%).

• Check the door seals regularly and wipe them
clean to ensure they are free of debris so that
they adhere properly to the door, thus avoiding
the dispersal of heat.

off and the fan stops (if present), the appliance
automatically switches to the “off mode”.
The appliance resumes the operating mode once the
ON/OFF button is pressed.

• Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven
and always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little
as possible because heat is lost every time it is
opened. To save a substantial amount of energy,
simply switch off the oven 5 to 10 minutes before the
end of your planned cooking time and use the heat
the oven continues to generate.

• Automatic programmes are based on standard food
product.

• Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door
energy losses

• If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay
cooking” option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.

• Make the most of your hot plate's residual heat by
switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the
end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates
5 minutes before the end of cooking time.

• The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and
pots that boil over leave encrusted remains that can
be difficult to remove.

• Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting
lids and use as little water as possible. Cooking with
the lid off will greatly increase energy consumption

• Use purely flat pots and pans

• If you are cooking something that takes a long time,
it's worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as
fast and saves a third of the energy.

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply
before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the oven

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.

• Clean the glass part of the oven door using a
sponge and a non-abrasive cleaning product,
then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Do not use
rough abrasive material or sharp metal scrapers
as these could scratch the surface and cause the
glass to crack.

• The stainless steel or enamel-coated external
parts and the rubber seals may be cleaned using
a sponge which has been soaked in lukewarm
water and neutral soap. Use specialised products
for the removal of stubborn stains. After cleaning,
rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive
powders or corrosive substances.

• The inside of the oven should ideally be cleaned
after each use, while it is still lukewarm. Use hot
water and detergent, then rinse well and dry with
a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive products.

• The accessories can be washed like everyday
crockery, and are even dishwasher safe.

• Dirt and grease should be removed from the control
panel using a non-abrasive sponge or a soft cloth.

Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that

•

has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
aggressive detergents that contain phosphorus.
We recommend that the steel surfaces are rinsed
well then dried thoroughly.

Inspecting the oven seals

Check the door seals around the oven regularly. If the
seals are damaged, please contact your nearest After­sales Service Centre. We recommend that the oven is
not used until the seals have been replaced.

1. Remove the glass cover using a screwdriver.

2. Unscrew the light bulb and replace it with a
similar one: Wattage 15 W, cap G9.
Replace the glass cover, making sure the seal is
positioned correctly (

see diagram

).

! Do not use the oven lamp as/for
ambient lighting.

Cleaning the glass ceramic hob

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (for example, products in spray
cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens),
stain removers, anti-rust products, powder
detergents or sponges with abrasive
surfaces: these may scratch the surface
beyond repair.

• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a
damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.

• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special
glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and
dry thoroughly.

• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable scraper
(this is not supplied with the appliance). Remove
spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the
appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty
deposits. You can obtain excellent results by using a
rustproof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for
glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.

• If plastic or sugary substances have accidentally
been melted on the hob, remove them immediately
with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.

• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special
protective maintenance product: the invisible film left
by this product protects the surface from drips during
cooking. This maintenance should be carried out
while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.

• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with
clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can
become encrusted during subsequent cooking
processes.

Automatic cleaning using the
PYROLYTIC cycle

During the PYROLYTIC cycle, the internal
temperature of the oven reaches 500°C. The
pyrolytic cycle is activated and burns away food
and grime residues. Dirt is literally incinerated.
Keep children away from the appliance during the
automatic cleaning cycle as surfaces may become
very hot. Particles may ignite inside the oven as a
result of the combustion process. There is no cause
for concern: this process is both normal and hazard­free.

Before initiating the PYROLYTIC CYCLE:

• Remove large or coarse food residues from the
inside of the oven using a damp sponge. Do not
use detergents.

• Remove all accessories.

• Do not place tea towels or pot holders over the
oven handle.

• Turn the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position.

! If the oven is too hot, the pyrolytic cycle may not
start. Wait for the oven to cool down.

! The programme may only be started once the oven
door has been closed.

To activate the PYROLITIC CYCLE cleaning

approximately 4 seconds. The TIMER KNOB may be
used to select the desired cleaning level; there are
