Heating elements

Two types of heating element may be installed, depending on the appliance model: halogen and radiant elements. Halogen elements emit heat via radiation from the halogen lamps they contain. They have similar properties to gas burners: they are easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly, allowing you to see the power level instantly. Radiant elements consist of a series of coils which allow heat to be distributed evenly at the base of the cookware, so that all slow-flame cooking may be performed successfully, for example stews, sauces or reheated dishes.

Practical advice on using the appliance

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.

• 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. If the indicator light is flashing, it may indicate:

• An incompatible pan

• A pan whose diameter is too small

• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.

Residual heat indicators

Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat indicator. This indicator signals which cooking zones are still at a high temperature. If the power display

shows possible, for example, to keep a dish warm or melt butter or chocolate. As the cooking zone cools, the

power display will show when the cooking zone has cooled sufficiently.

, the cooking zone is still hot. It is

. The display switches off

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”.

00 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.

Maximum operating time in hours

Overheating protection

If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches

off automatically and F appears on the display,

followed by a flashing number. When the temperature has reached a suitable level, this message disappears and the hob may be used again.

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.
