Start-up and use

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.

• 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 auto-adjusted. 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.

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 calibration 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

Switching off the cooktop is signalled by 3 beep sound

Power Management for ECO Cooktop

For ECO power cook tops, each time the user tries to increase the power, the total power level of the Cooktop is calculated. If this total power level is greater than the Cooktop power limit, the power increase is not allowed. An error beep sounds and the heater display shows an ‘r’ for 3 seconds .

Switching on the cooking zones

Each cooking zone is controlled using a selector button

and a power adjustment device consisting of a
