Overview
The following table presents the most common damage caused:
Protecting the environment
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Energy-saving advice
Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking without a lid
uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use a lot
more energy.
The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the
hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan base.
Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large pan which
is not full uses a lot of energy.
Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and
preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the
power level is too high, energy is wasted.
Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking represents a radical change from the traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages:
Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated
directly.
Energy is saved.
Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not
burn as quickly.
Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power as
soon as the control knob is turned on. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having previously switched it off.
Cookware
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking; these may be made from:
enamelled steel
cast iron
special stainless steel induction pans.
To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a magnet will stick to its base.
There are other types of cookware for induction whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic.
Unsuitable pans
Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:
common thin steel
glass
earthenware
copper
aluminium
Damage Cause Measure
Stains Food spillage Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning products Only use cleaning products specifically designed for glass-ceramic hobs.
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a tray or working surface.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the glass ceramic
Check pans.
Fading Unsuitable cleaning products Only use cleaning products specifically produced for glass-ceramic hobs.
Contact with pans Lift pots and pans before moving them around.
Chips Sugar, substances with a high sugar
content
Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.
When using large cookware on a smaller ferromagnetic area, only the ferromagnetic zone heats up, so heat might not be uniformly distributed.
Pans with aluminium areas inserted in the base reduce the ferromagnetic area, so less heat may be supplied and the pan may be difficult to detect or not be detected at all.
For good cooking results, the diameter of the cookware's ferro­magnetic area should match the size of the hotplate. If cookware is not detected on a hotplate, try it on the next smaller hotplate down.
Page 6

Characteristics of the pan base
The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and energy.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the diameter of your pan.
Getting to know your appliance
On page 2, you will find information on the dimensions and power of the hotplates.
The control panel
Control panels
Pressing a symbol activates its corresponding function.
Note: Always keep the control surfaces dry. Moisture can affect proper working.
The hotplates
Residual heat indicator
The hob has a residual heat indicator for each hotplate to show those which are still hot. Avoid touching them when this indicator is lit.
Although the hob is switched off, the indicator
œ or will
remain on for as long as the hotplate is hot.
If the pan is removed before the hotplate is turned off, the indicator

Fixing malfunctions
Malfunctions are usually due to small details. Before calling the Technical Assistance Service, you should consider the following advice and warnings.
Normal noise while the appliance is working
Induction heating technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields that generate heat directly at the base of the pan. Depending on how the pan has been manufactured, certain noises or vibrations may be produced such as those described below:
A deep humming sound as in a transformer
This noise is produced when cooking with a high power level. It is caused by the amount of energy transferred from the hob to the pan. The noise disappears or becomes faint when the power level is lowered.
A low whistling sound
This noise is produced when the pan is empty. The noise disappears when water or food is added to the pan.
A crackling sound
This noise occurs in pans which are made from different materials superimposed on one another. It is caused by the vibrations that occur in the adjoining surfaces of the different superimposed materials. The noise comes from the pan. The amount of food and cooking method can vary noise intensity.
A high-pitched whistling sound
This noise is produced mainly in pans made from different materials superimposed on one another, and it occurs when such pans are heated at maximum power on two hotplates at the same time. The whistling disappears or becomes fainter as soon as the power level is lowered.
Noise from the fan
For proper use of the electronic system, the temperature of the hob must be controlled. To do this, the hob has a fan which turns on when a high temperature is detected. The fan may also work by inertia after the hob has been switched off, if the temperature detected is still too high.
The noises described are normal, they are part of induction heating technology and not a sign of malfunction.
Indicator Malfunction Solution
none The electric power supply has been cut off. Use other electrical appliances to check whether there has been a
power cut.
The appliance has not been correctly con­nected following the connection diagram.
Check that the appliance has been connected correctly according to the connection diagram.
