4. Use of the cooking HOB
To operate the panel of the hobs equipped with touch-controls,
press the icons printed on its surface.
On first connection to the electrical mains, an operating check
will be carried out automatically and all the indicator lights will
come on for a few seconds.
Under each cooking zone there is a coil called an inductor which is
powered by an electronic system and which creates a variable
magnetic field. When a pan is positioned within this magnetic field,
the high frequency currents are concentrated directly onto the pan
producing the heat required for cooking the food.
After use, switch off the hotplates using the controls described
in paragraph “4.3.1 Switching off the hotplate”. Never rely on the
cookware detector.
4.1 Operating power settings
Below, we provide a table with the maximum power consumptions
of the cooking zones that are on.

4.2 Cookware
Appliances of this type require special pans to be able to work.
In fact, the pan must have an iron bottom to generate the magnetic
field necessary for it to be heated up.
Recipients made of the following are not suitable:
1 glass;
2 ceramics;
3 earthenware;
4 steel, aluminium or copper without a magnetic bottom.
To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the
bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If
you do not have a magnet, you can put a small amount of water in
the recipient, place it on a cooking zone and start the hotplate. If the
power symbol on the display starts to flash, it means that the pan
you are using is not suitable for your appliance.
The pans used for cooking must have a minimum diameter to
guarantee proper functioning.
Metal objects such as cutlery or lids must not be left on the hob
as they risk being overheated without the user realising it.
Each cooking zone has an inner circle. This printed circle
indicates the minimum permissible diameter on that cooking
zone. Pans with smaller diameters risk not being detected and
therefore not activating the inductor.
Pans that are larger than the cooking zones can also be used, but
care must be taken that the bottom of the pan does not come into
contact with other cooking zone and that it is always centred on the
cooking zone perimeter.
Instructions for User
13
Use only recipients with a perfectly flat bottom and which are
suitable for induction cooking or, if pans of this type are not
available, recipients whose bottom is not crowned (concave or
convex).
Using a pan with an irregular bottom could jeopardise the efficiency
of the heating system so that the pan is not detected on the
hotplate.

By means of this function, present on some models only, it is
possible to program the switching off of the hotplate after a
variable operating time: from 1 to 99 minutes.
1. Select the desired power level at which to use the hotplate;
2. Using the keys and the cooking duration can be set.
At the end of the time the hotplate will be deactivated and a
buzzer will sound temporarily. To interrupt the signal before
time, press any button for the cooking plate used.
4.3.3 Residual heat
Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat warning
device. After any zone is switched off, a flashing “ ”may
appear on the display. This warns that the cooking zone
concerned is still very hot.
Cooking can be restarted while the is flashing: in this case,
proceed as described in paragraph “3”.
4.3.4 Cooking hob lock-out
When the hob is on, it can be locked to avoid accidental
modifications to the cooking values set. The lock remains on

4.3.5 Power management
To optimise the energy consumption, the groups made up of two
hotplates (see figure above) are prevented from supplying more than
a determined maximum operating power. If the value set for the two
hotplates exceeds the permitted power, the electronic circuit board
will automatically maintain the maximum level permitted modifying
the power supplied by the hotplates. The power level selected by the
electronic circuit board will still be visible on the display.
4.3.6 Control circuit board thermal protection
If the cooking zones cause overheating of the internal electronic
circuit board, the heat will be switched off automatically. This switches
off power to the hotplates and F7 will light up on the power LEDs.
4.4 Limitations to the operating duration
The electronics of this appliance limit the cooking duration
according to the power selected. After the maximum time period
has gone by, the cooking zone switches off, the appliance emits an
audible signal and AS(automatic stop) appears on the display.
Power level set Maximum cooking duration in hours
Levels 1 to 9 8 hours' cooking at most
4.5 Error messages from the electronic circuit board
The electronic circuit board has been designed to protect the hob
components from malfunctions that can damage them. For this
purpose, some error messages have been provided, visible through
the power display. If error codes from F1 to F9 , should appear on
the display, call the authorised service centre and tell them the error
code you have read.
If the display appears in this way and an acoustic BEEP is
heard, it means that a metal object has been left inadvertently on
the hob and that it could become hot if the hob is switched on.
17
4.6 Safety functions against accidental operations
To provide the user with the utmost safety, this appliance has been
equipped with various safety devices.
1) if two keys are accidentally pressed, no function is switched on.
After 10 seconds, the electronic circuit board will deactivate the
product and some signs will appear on the power displays;
2) in the case in which the electronic circuit board continues to
register a key being pressed after the maximum power level
has been reached, a safety device will automatically deactivate
the hob;
3)
after a drop in current the appliance is not automatically restarted;
Points 1) and 2) can occur, for example, in the case in which a pan
has been badly positioned on the cooking hob and it covers the
hotplate ON/OFF keys.
