Advantages of induction cooking

The appliance is equipped with an

Max. power absorbed

Power absorbed in

Power function (W)*

induction generator for each
cooking zone. Each generator
located under the glass ceramic
cooking surface creates an
electromagnetic field which
induces a thermal current in the
base of the pan. This means the
heat is no longer transmitted from
the hob to the pan but created
directly inside the pan by the
inductive current.

Useful when using a wok.

The accessories intended to come
into contact with food are made of
materials that comply with the
provisions of current legislation.

• Energy saving thanks to the direct
transmission of energy to the pan
(suitable magnetisable cookware is
required) compared to traditional
electric cooking.

• Improved safety as the energy is only

• High level of energy transmitted from the
induction cooking zone to the base of
the pan.

• Rapid heating speed.

• Reduced danger of burns as the cooking
surface is only heated under the base of
the pan; foods which overflow do not
stick.

Improper use

Danger of burns

• Make sure that the flame-spreader
crowns are correctly positioned in their
housings with their respective burner
caps.

If you smell gas or there are faults in the gas
system:

• Immediately turn off the gas supply or
close the valve on the gas cylinder.

• Extinguish all naked flames and
cigarettes.

• Do not turn on power switches or
appliances and do not remove plugs
from power sockets. Do not use phones
or mobile phones inside the building.

14

Use

3.4 Using the gas burners

All the appliance’s control and
monitoring devices are located together
on the front panel. The burner controlled
by each knob is shown next to the knob.
The appliance is equipped with an
electronic ignition device. Simply press
the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the
maximum flame symbol, until the burner
ignites. If the burner does not light in the

first 15 seconds, turn the knob to and
wait 60 seconds before trying again.

After lighting, keep the knob pressed in
for a few seconds to allow the
thermocouple to heat up.

The burner may go out when the knob is
released: In this case, the thermocouple has
not heated up sufficiently. Wait a few
moments and repeat the operation. Keep
the knob pressed in longer.

In case of an accidental switching
off, a safety device will be tripped,
cutting off the gas supply, even if
the gas cock is open. Return the

knob to and wait at least 60
seconds before lighting it again.

Correct positioning of the flame­spreader crowns and burner caps

Before lighting the hob burners, make sure
that the flame-spreader crowns are
correctly positioned in their housings with
their respective burner caps. Make sure that
the holes in the burners are aligned with the
igniters and thermocouples. Also ensure that
the flame-spreader crowns are correctly
engaged in the burner holes.

EN

15

Use

Correct positioning of the grids

Under the grids there are silicone rests with
a hole that must be centred onto the
matching fixing pins on the surface.

Make sure that the grids are simply centred
on their respective burners, without forcing
the burners to be raised or tilted. If this is the
case, repeat the positioning procedure.

If you find that a pan is particularly unstable,
make sure that the grids have not been
positioned incorrectly.

Cookware diameters

• UR*: from 20 to 30 cm.

Ring reducers

The ring reducers must be rested on the hob
grid. Make sure they are properly
positioned.

Using a griddle

A few precautions are necessary if you wish
to use a griddle:

• The griddle can be pre-heated with the
burner on maximum power for no more
than 10 minutes.

• It is recommended you reduce the
power during cooking;

• Do not allow the burner flames to extend
beyond the edge of the griddle;

• Leave a gap of at least 150 mm
between the edge of the griddle and the
side wall;

• Do not place the griddle over more than
one burner at the same time.
