Advice and recommendations
• This appliance was designed for non-professional,
household use.
• Before using the appliance, read the instructions in the owner’ s manual carefully since it contains all the instruc­tions you require to ensure safe installation, use and maintenance. K eep this owner’ s manual in a saf e place for future reference.
• When you have removed the packing, check whether the appliance is intact. If you have any doubts, contact a qualified professional before using the appliance.
• Never leave the packing components (plastic bags, poly­styrene foam, nails, etc.) within the reach of children since these are a source of potential danger.
• The appliance must be installed by a qualified techni­cian in compliance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer .
• The latter denies all responsibility f or improper installa­tion which may harm persons and animals and damage property.
• The electrical saf ety of this appliance can only be guar­anteed if the latter is correctly and efficiently earthed, in compliance with regulations on electrical safety . Alwa ys ensure that this vital safety measure has been taken. If you have any doubts, call in a qualified technician to check the electrical system thoroughly .
• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage resulting from a system which has not been earthed cor­rectly .
• Before powering the appliance, check whether the tech­nical characteristics featured on the appliance data plate correspond with those of the mains electrical system.
• Check that the current load of the mains supply and of the power sockets is suitable for the maximum power of the appliance, indicated on the appliance data plate. If in doubt, contact a qualified professional.
• This appliance must only be used for the pur pose for which it was expressly designed. Any other use (such as heating a room for example) is considered to be im­proper and consequently dangerous.
• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.
Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is
never obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be
provided with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the
electronic components used in the appliance.
We advise against the installation of an induction hob
above an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above
a washing machine (vibrations). In fact, there would be
insufficient space for the ventilation of electronic
components.
• Certain fundamental rules must be followed when using electrical appliances. The f ollowing are of particular im­portance:
• do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands,
• never use the appliance when barefoot,
• never use extensions,
• never pull on the power supply cable or the appliance itself to unplug it from the mains socket,
• never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents (rain, sun, etc.),
• do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with the appliance to use it without supervision.
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the main switch before cleaning or performing any cleaning or maintenance operations.
• If the surface of the glass cracks, unplug the appli- ance immediately. For any repairs, contact only an au­thorised after-sales service centre and demand original spare parts. Failure to comply with the abo ve ma y com­promise the safety of the appliance.
• Cut the power supply cable after disconnecting it from the power mains when you decide not to use the appli­ance any longer. Also make all potentially dangerous parts of the appliance safe, above all for children who could play with the appliance.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and me­chanical shocks. Ho wever, it may break due to a shock
caused by a sharp object, such as a tool for exam­ple. In this case, unplug the appliance immediately and contact an authorised after-sales service centre to have it repaired.
• Remember that the heating area stays hot for at least half an hour after being turned off; please refrain from placing any cookware or other items on the cooking zone while still hot.
• Do not turn on the heating zones if aluminium foil or plastic items have been placed on the hob surface.
• Do not go near the heating zones when these are still hot.
• If you use small electric appliances near the hob, mak e sure their power supply cable does not come into con­tact with the hot parts of the hob.
• Make sure all pan handles are always pointing inwards towards the centre of the hob to prevent any accidental spills.
First use: the glue used on the hob seals ma y leave g reasy traces on the glass surface. We recommend you wipe these off before using the appliance, with the aid of a non abrasiv e cleaner . During the first f e w hours of use, you ma y detect a smell of rubber, which will disappear quickly.

Installation and fastening
The following instructions are intended for a qualified fitter to guide him/her along the installation, adjustment and tech­nical maintenance procedures as correctly as possible and in full compliance with the applicable norms in force.
Important : unplug the hob before all operations.
Installation
• This hob can be b uilt into a worktop simply by cutting out the corresponding slot.
• The w orktop must be made with a material designed to withstand a temperature of approximately 100°C.
• The hob should be positioned at least 40 mm away from the back wall or any other ve rtical surface in order to allow for correct ventilation and to prevent the surfaces around the appliance from overheating.
• If you wish to install the hob on top of an oven, the latter must be fitted with a cooling fan.
• Try to avoid installing the hob on top of a dishwasher; if this is unavoidable, place a watertight separating element between the two appliances.
Fastening Very important: It is vital that you ensure the glass ce-
ramic hob is built into a perfectly flat supporting surface. Deformations due to improper fastening could alter the characteristics of the hob and compromise its perform­ance. The fastening springs are fastened by screws (see dia­gram).
It is vital that these screws be kept accessible at all times.
Insert the hob into the cut-out slot, applying pressure all along the perimeter of the hob frame so that the latter adheres fully to the worktop.

Cooking zone description
Induction is the fastest cooking method available. Unlike traditional cooking zones, the induction zone does not heat up the glass surface. The pan itself is the heating element: the pan evenly transfers heat to its contents as long as it is made of ferromagnetic material.

Turning on a cooking zone
• To turn a cooking zone on, press the corresponding con­trol key and set the desired heating power (from 0 to 9) using the “+” and “-” keys.
• To set the maximum power directly (9), press key “-”
briefly.
T urning off a cooking zone
To turn off a cooking zone, press the corresponding con­trol key and:
• press both “+” and “-” simultaneously: the cooking zone power drops immediately to zero and the zone is turned off.
• or press the “-” key: the heating power drops progres­sively until the zone eventually turns off.
Controls lock
When the hob is in use, you can lock the controls to avoid any accidental changes to the settings (by children or when cleaning, for example). Just press the key, the indicator light next to the key lights up and the controls are locked. To change the power level setting or stop cooking, the controls have to be unlock ed: press the key, the indi­cator light turns off and the controls are unlocked. To access the setting of a cooking zone again, select the zone by pressing the corresponding control ke y.
Cooking time programming
you may programme all the cooking zones simultaneously for a maximum cooking time of 99 minutes. Proceed as follows:
• select the cooking zone by pressing the corresponding control key,
• set the desired heating power using the “+” and “-” keys,
• press the programming key ,
• set the desired cooking time using the “+” and “-” keys,
• confirm your programming by pressing the programming key again.
The countdown begins immediately . The end of programmed cooking is signalled by a beep (one minute long) and the cooking zone concerned is turned off.
T urning off the hob
Press the key; the appliance has been turned off. If you have locked the hob controls (see paragraph be-
low), the same will still be locked when you turn the hob back on. Unlock the controls in order to operate the cook­ing zones.
The booster
To speed up the rise in temperature of the cooking zones (see cooking zone table on the previous page), press the
Booster
key.
The power display will indicate “P”. The booster function comes to an automatic stop after 4 minutes. When the booster function is on, certain cooking zones (see the cooking zone table on the previous page) are limited to a maximum power of 600W.

The safety devices
Pan recognition
Each induction cooking zone is fitted with a pan recogni­tion device. The cooking zone only provides heat in the presence of a pan which is suitable for the cooking zone.
A blinking pan recognition indicator could signal:
• that the pan is made of unsuitable material, which is not ferromagnetic,
• that the diameter of the pan is too small,
• that the pan has been removed.
Always match the diameter of the pan with that of the
cooking zones.
Warning: oval cooking zones
Oval cooking zones can only be boosted if the full oval is enabled. Do not place two small saucepans on oval cooking zones.
What cookware to use
Given that induction only exists when the magnetic field is sealed by a metallic recipient, the pan stops being heated as soon as it is taken off the cooking zone. Use cookware made of material which is compatible
with induction (ferromagnetic material). Cast iron, enamelled steel or special induction stain­less steel saucepans are ideal.
Copper, cer amic, earthenware, glass, terracotta, aluminium and non magnetic stainless steel cookware is incompat­ible with induction cooking.
The easiest way to find out whether the pan is suitable is with a magnet. If the magnet is attracted by the pan
bottom and stays “stuck” to the same, the pan is made of ferromagnetic material and can be used on your induction hob. We recommend you use pans with a very flat and thick bottom and avoid at all costs all cookware with irregular rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.

Acoustic signal
Anomalies such as:
• an object (such as a saucepan or a lid, etc.) placed for more than 10 seconds on the control zone,
• boiled-over liquids or food spilled on the control zone,
• prolonged pressure on a key,...
could cause a beep to sound and the hob to turn off. T o stop the beep from sounding, remo ve the cause of the
malfunction. To use the hob, turn it back on and re-select the cooking zone(s) you wish to use. Set the desired heating pow er .
Safety cut out
Your appliance is fitted with a safety cut out which inter­venes after a certain amount of time (see table below) depending on the power setting. When the safety cut out has intervened, the power display indicates “0”.
for example: the back right cooking zone is set to 5 and the front left zone is set to 2. The bac k right zone will turn off after 3 hours of operation and the front left zone will turn off after 10 hours of operation.
To unlock the controls, turn the hob off by pressing the
key.

Maintenance and care
Advice on using your appliance
To get the best from your hob, it is vital that you follow a few fundamental rules during cooking and when preparing food.
• Use pans with a flat bottom so they adhere fully to the heating zone.
• Always use pans whose diameter covers the cooking zone fully so that all the available heat can be used.
• Make sure the pan base is always clean and dry, to guarantee good contact and long life for the cooking zones and pans alike.
• Avoid using pans used normally on gas burners. The concentration of heat on gas burners can warp the bottom of the pan, consequently you would never obtain the desired result when using the pan on the glass ceramic hob.
• Never leave a cooking zone on without a pan on it as the maximum heat lev el would be reached very quickly , which could damage the heating elements.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a shock caused by a sharp object. In this case, unplug the appliance immediately and contact an authorised after-sales service centre to have it repaired.
Always keep your hob clean. Before proceeding with main­tenance operations, check that all the cooking zones are turned off and have cooled down completely.
Stainless steel frame (only on some models) Stainless steel can stain as an effect of enduring contact with limescale in water or as an effect of highly aggres­sive detergents (containing phosphorus). W e recommend you rinse and dry it thoroughly after maintenance. It is preferable to remo ve an y water spills immediately.
Hob care
The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is smooth and poreless and it is also resistant to thermal shocks and to mechanical shocks under normal condi­tions of use. In order to preserve these properties, we rec­ommend you care for your hob as follows:
• for ordinary maintenance, just wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper towels.
• If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry thor­oughly .
• food residue and dirt can be removed using a special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait for the hob to cool down in order to avoid incrustations. For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic glass cleaning soaked in soapy water .
• When the hob is clean, y ou can apply a special prod­uct for the care and protection of the same: this type of product leaves an invisible film on the surface of the hob to protect the same against any spills and boiled-over food. It is best if you do this when the hob is lukewarm or cold.
• Make sure you always rinse the hob with clean water and dry it thoroughly: otherwise the cleaning prod­ucts could become encrusted onto the hob during subsequent cooking.
Recommendations
• Never use abrasive or corrosive substances, such
as aerosol cleaners for grills and ovens, stain remov-
ers or rust removers, scouring powders and abrasive sponges: even the delicate ones could scratch the hob surface irre versibly.
• W e recommend you keep all items which could melt
away from the hob, such as plastic utensils, sugar or products with a high sugar content. Should liq-
uid boil over onto the hob surface, remove it immedi­ately (while the hob is still hot) using a razor blade scraper, in order to a void damaging the surf ace.
• Use this hob exclusively for cooking. Do not place
items on the hob when the same is not in use. Do not use the hob as a work surface (by placing lids, sauce­pans or dishcloths on it, for example), nor as a chop­ping board.
• Never leave aluminium wrappers, aluminium foil and
plastic cookware on the hob when hot or still warm.
• Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners
to clean your appliance.
• Do not place metal items on the hob (such as knives,
spoons, lids, etc.).
• Never heat up unopened tins: they could burst.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the hob caused by incorrect use.
