• The Principle of Induction Heating: When you place your
cookware on a cooking zone and you turn it on, the electronic
circuits in your induction hob produce “induced currents” in
the bottom of the cookware which instantly raise cookware’s
temperature.
Induced currents
04 PARTS AND FEATURES
Induction coil
Electronic circuits
• Greater speed in cooking and frying: As the pan is heated
directly and not the glass, the eciency is greater than in other
systems because no heat is lost. Most of the energy absorbed
is transformed into heat.
• Ceramic glass cooking surface : The appliance has a ceramic
glass cooking surface and four rapid - response cooking zones.
• Touch control sensors : Your appliance is operated using
touch control sensors.
• Easy cleaning : One advantage of the ceramic glass cooking
surface and the control sensors is their accessibility.
The smooth, flat surface is easy to clean.
• On/O sensor : The “On/O” control sensor provides the
appliance with a separate mains switch. Touching this sensor
switches the power supply on or o completely.
• Control and function indicators : Digital displays and
indicator lights provide information about settings and activated
functions, as well as the presence of residual heat in the various
cooking zones.
• Safety shuto :

• Residual heat indicator : An icon for residual heat appears in
the display if the cooking zone is so hot that there is a risk of
burning.
• Auto Pan-Detection : Each cooking zone incorporates an
automatic pan-detection system, the system is calibrated in
order to recognize pans of a diameter just slightly smaller than
the cooking zone. Pans must always be placed centrally on
each cooking zone. And you should use suitable cookware.

TO AVOID DAMAGING YOUR APPLIANCE
• Do not use the hob as a work surface or for storage.
• Do not operate a cooking zone if there is no pan on the hob or
if the pan is empty.
• Ceramic glass is very tough and resistant to temperature shock,
but it is not unbreakable. It can be damaged by a particularly
sharp or hard object dropping onto the hob.
• Do not place pans on the hob frame. Scratching and damage
to the finish may occur.
• Avoid spilling acidic liquids, for example, vinegar, lemon juice
and descaling agents, onto the hob frame, since such liquids
can cause dull spots.
• If sugar or a preparation containing sugar comes into contact
with a hot cooking zone and melts, it should be cleaned o
immediately with a kitchen scraper while it is still hot. If allowed
to cool, it may damage the surface when removed.
• Keep all items and materials that could melt, for example,
plastics, aluminium foil and oven foils, away from the ceramic
glass surface. If something of this nature melts onto the hob, it
must be removed immediately with a scraper.

qualified service technician. Improperly eected repairs may
result in considerable risk to the user. If your appliance needs
repair, please contact your customer service centre.
What should I do if the cooking zones are not functioning?
Check for the following possibilities:
• The fuse in the house wiring (fuse box) is intact. If the fuses trip
a number of times, call an authorised electrician.
• The appliance is properly switched on.
• The control indicators in the control panel are illuminated.
• The cooking zone is switched on.
• The cooking zones are set at the desired heat settings.
What should I do if the cooking zones will not switch on?
Check for the following possibilities:
• A period of more than 20 seconds has elapsed between when
the On/O button was actuated and the desired cooking zone
switches on (see the section “Switching the appliance on”).
• The control panel is partially covered by a damp cloth or liquid.
What should I do if the display except for
the residual
