Start-up and use

The user interface has implemented an initial keyboard calibration focused to adapt the sensibility of the keys, to the final mechanical, environmental and user conditions. Any time the cooktop is plugged or there is a power failure that generates a reset in the user interface, the first time the key lock is touched the sensitivity of the keyboard is readjusted. The first touch of the key lock must be done in certain conditions:

-do not use gloves

-use a clean finger

-touch the glass (smooth touching)

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

• 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 autoadjusted 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.

Switching on the hob

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

Loock button .

To switch the hob on, press and hold the button for approximately one second.

The cooktop is switched On when a beep sound is emitted and the cooking zones display shows the „0”

When the cooktop is off, after 5 sec. without any error/ alarm or residual heat to display, the control switches

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 calibra-

tion process, (approx 3s) any cooker hood or other lighting can be switched on as normal and will not affect the

operation of the touch control.

Only available in certain models.

Switching on the cooking zones

Each cooking zone is switched on and controlled using the

(-) and (+) POWER buttons, which at the same time are used for power adjustment.

• To begin operating a cooking zone, set the desired power level (between 0 and 9) using the (-) and (+) POWER buttons

Press and hold the (-) POWER button to set the power level immediately at “9”

Press and hold (+) and (-) POWER buttons simulta neously to return to power level “0” If the power level is “0” press and hold the (+) button to increase the power level quickly.

Fast Boil- “Booster” function

The booster function for some of the cooking zones may be used to shorten heating-up times. It may be activated by pressing the (+) POWER button over level 9. This function boosts the power to 1600 W or 2000 W, depending on the size of the relevant cooking zone. The activation of of the booster is signalled by a beep sound, and the letter ‘P’ appearing on the display corresponding to the selected cooking zone

The booster works for max 10 minutes. After these 10 minutes a beep sounds and the cooking zone will return to level “9”

With the heater at Booster level, if the [+] key is Touched an error beep sounds and the cookset doesn’t change. With the heater at Booster level, if the [-] key is Touched a beep sounds and the cookset is reduced to 9.

Practical advice on using the appliance

SUITABLE

UNSUITABLE

Cast iron

Enamelled steel

Special stainless steel

Copper,

Aluminium, Glass, Earthenware,

Ceramic, non magnetic Stainless steel

! 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.

! Do not use adapters, diffusers, or metal plates on the cooking zones .They may have a detrimental effect upon the hob’s performance, and might damage the hob’s aesthetics.

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.

• An incompatible pan

• A pan whose diameter is too small

• The pan has been removed from the hotplate. After 10 sec. with no pan on the heating zone, a warning beep signal is emmited. After 60 sec. with no pan on the heating zone,, the heater switches off.

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 emitted 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.

• ! Do not leave an empty pot on any cooking zone, while the zone is active, as it might damage the hob.

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.
