Instructions for disposal
3. ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
3.1 Our environmental responsibility
Pursuant to Directives 2002/95/EC, 2002/96/EC and 2003/108/EC relating to the reduction of the use of
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic appliances, as well as to the disposal of refuse, the
crossed out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that the product, at the end of its useful life, must be
collected separately from other refuse. Therefore, the user must consign the product that has reached
the end of its working life to the appropriate selective collection centres for electrical and electronic
refuse, or deliver it back to the retailer when purchasing an equivalent product, on a one for one basis.
Adequate differentiated collection for the subsequent forwarding of the decommissioned product to
recycling, processing and ecologically compatible disposal contributes to avoiding possible negative
effects on the environment and on health, and promotes recycling of the appliance's constituent
materials. The illicit disposal of the product by the user results in the application of administrative
sanctions.
The product does not contain substances in quantities sufficient to be considered hazardous to health
and the environment, in accordance with current European directives.
3.2 Your environmental responsibility
Our product's packing is made of non-polluting materials, therefore compatible with the environment and
recyclable. Please help by disposing of the packing correctly. You can obtain the addresses of collection,
recycling and disposal centres from your retailer or from the competent local organisations.
Do not discard the packaging or any part of it, or leave it unattended. It can constitute a
suffocation hazard for children, especially the plastic bags.
Your old appliance also needs to be disposed of correctly.
Important: hand over your appliance to the local agency authorised for the collection of
household appliances no longer in use. Correct disposal enables intelligent recovery of valuable
materials.
Before disposing of your appliance it is important to remove doors and leave shelves in the same
position as for use, to ensure that children cannot accidentally become trapped inside during play. It is
also necessary to cut the connecting cable to the power supply network, removing it along with the plug.

Instructions for the user
4. GET TO KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE
The hob is equipped with one induction generator per 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 saucepan.
This means the heat is no longer transmitted from the hob to the pan but created directly inside the pan
by the inductive current.
Advantages of an induction hob
- Energy saving thanks to the direct transmission of energy to the pan (suitable magnetisable
cookware is required) compared with traditional electric cooking.
- Improved safety as the energy is only transmitted to the container placed on the hob.
- High level of energy transmitted from the induction cooking zone to the base of the saucepan.
- Rapid heating.
- Reduced danger of burns as the cooking surface is only heated under the base of the saucepan;
foods which overflow do not stick.
4.1 Layout of the cooking zones

Instructions for the user
4.2 Power management
To optimise the energy consumption, the groups made up of two
hot plates (see figure below) are prevented from supplying more
than a determined maximum operating power. If the value set for
the two hot plates exceeds the permitted power, the electronic
circuit board will automatically maintain the maximum level
permitted modifying the power supplied by the hot plates. The
power level selected by the electronic circuit board will still be
visible on the display.
Priority is given to the last zone set.
4.3 Saucepan recognition
If there is no saucepan on a cooking zone or if the saucepan is too small, no energy will be transmitted.
If there is a suitable saucepan on the cooking zone, the recognition system notices it and turns on the
hob to the preset power level. Energy transmission is also interrupted when the saucepan is removed
from the cooking zone. If the saucepan recognition function is activated in spite of the saucepan or frying
pan on the cooking zone being too small, only the necessary energy will be transmitted.
Saucepan recognition limits: The minimum diameter of the saucepan base is indicated by a circle
inside the cooking zone. Pans with smaller diameters risk not being detected and therefore not activating
the inductor.
If the container is not well positioned or is not made of the correct material after a few seconds from the
hot plate's activation, the symbol will appear on the display.
28
Instructions for the user
4.4 Saucepans suitable for use in induction cooking
The containers used on the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, with magnetic properties
and a sufficiently large base.
Only use saucepans with bases suitable for induction hot plates.
Suitable containers Unsuitable containers
• Enamelled steel containers with thick bases.
• Cast iron containers with an enamelled base.
• Containers in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic
stainless steel and aluminium with a special
base.
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 container, place it on a cooking zone and start the hot
plate. If the power symbol starts flashing on the display, it means the pan is not
suitable.
• Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof
glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta.
Use only containers with a perfectly flat bottom. Using a pan with an irregular bottom could jeopardise
the efficiency of the heating system so that the pan is not detected on the hot plate.
4.5 Advice on energy saving
Below you will find advice on how to use your new hob effectively and economically.
• The diameter of the base of the saucepan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.
• When buying a saucepan, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top of the
container, as the top is almost always larger than the base.
• When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure
cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid, as, if there is not enough and it
overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover saucepans with a suitable lid.
• Choose a saucepan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan
leads to a waste of energy.
4.6 Power levels
The power in the cooking zone can be adjusted to various levels. The table shows the levels suitable for
various types of cooking.
Power level Suitable for
0 OFF position
U Plate warmer
1 - 2 Cooking small amounts of food (minimum power)
3 - 4 Continue cooking
5 - 6
7 - 8 Roasting, slow frying with flour
9 Roasting
P Roasting / browning, cooking (maximum power)
Cooking large quantities of food, roasting larger
portions

Instructions for the user
5. USING THE HOB
5.1 General warnings and advice
On first connection to the power supply network, an operating check will be carried out automatically and
all the indicator lights will come on for a few seconds.
5.2 Control panel
All the appliance's control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. The induction
hob is operated using the knobs fitted on it.
5.3 Heating accelerator
Each cooking zone has a heating accelerator. This system lets the hot plate operate at maximum power
for a time that is proportional to the selected power. To start the heating accelerator, turn the knob to the
left, select the “A” position and release. The letter appears on the cooking hob display. At this point
you have 3 seconds to choose the desired heating position. Once the position has been adjusted
between 1 and 9, and the selected position will flash on the display. During the heating accelerator's
operation it is possible to increase the heating intensity at any time. The “full power” period will
consequently be modified. On the other hand, if the power is reduced, turn the knob counterclockwise.
The “A” option is automatically disabled.
5.4 Power Function
The power function can be used to cause each heating zone to operate continuously at maximum power
for a maximum period of 10 minutes. Said function, for example, can be used to bring a large quantity of
water to a boil rapidly or to broil meat. Turn the knob clockwise and set the heating intensity on position
9. Select the position “P” with the knob and release. appears on the hob display of the
corresponding zone.
After 10 minutes the power will be reduced automatically, returning to position 9; disappears. It is
however possible to interrupt the power function by decreasing at any time the heating intensity. When
the power option is selected on a hot plate (e.g. the front left), the power absorbed by the second hot
plate (rear left) could be reduced to provide the maximum energy available to the first. For the same
reason the power function has priority over the heating accelerator. If a container is removed from the
cooking zone while the power function is turned on, the function stops.
5.5 Residual heat
If the cooking zone is still hot after being switched off, the symbol will appear on the display. The
symbol clears once the temperature goes below 60°C.
Beware of children in the vicinity as the warning lights indicating residual heat are out of their line of
sight. The cooking zones remain hot for a certain period of time even after they have been turned off.
Make sure that children never touch the hob.
30
Instructions for the user
5.6 Child lock
When not in use, the hob can be “locked” from being accidently turned on by children.
With the hot plates switched off turn simultaneously the hot plate knobs 2 and 3 completely to the left
until 4 L appear on the display. Then release the knobs. To unlock it repeat the same operation: The hot
plates’ displays will show a 0 that will indicate that the hot plates’ lock has been deactivated.
5.7 Circuit board thermal protection
The appliance is provided with a device that constantly measures the temperature of the electronic
circuit board. If the temperature exceeds certain values, the device will activate certain functions to lower
the temperature and allow the glass ceramic hob to continue to work correctly.
Below is a table with the operations that are activated automatically and the relative start temperature: k
OPERATION ACTIVATING TEMPERATURE
Fan turns on at low speed 50 °C
Fan turns on at high speed 60 °C
Fan returns to low speed 55 °C
Fan turns off 45 °C
Operating power reduced from Power to 9 76 °C
Reduction of power of a point for every cooking zone 85 °C
All cooking zones turn off 90 °C
The cooking zones switch on again at reduced power 85 °C
Normal operation of all the cooking zones 80 °C
Every intervention of this type will be identified on the cooking hob by the power displays flashing.
5.8 Glass ceramic hob thermal protection
Every cooking zone has a device that constantly measures the temperature. If the temperature exceeds
certain values, the device will activate certain functions to lower the temperature and allow the glass
ceramic hob to continue to work correctly. Below is a table with the operations that are activated
automatically and the relative start temperature:
OPERATION ACTIVATING TEMPERATURE
Operating power reduced from Power to 9 250 °C
Reduction of the power of a point 280 °C
The cooking zone switches off 300 °C
Return of the power to the set value 250 °C
31
Instructions for the user
5.9 Cooking guidelines table
The table below shows the power values which can be set, together with the corresponding type of food
to be cooked. Settings may vary depending on the amount of food and consumer taste.
SET LEVEL TYPE OF FOOD
U To melt butter, chocolate or similar products.
1 - 2
3 - 4
5 - 7 To stew meat, fish and vegetables, simmer food, make jams, etc.
8 - 9 To roast meat, fish, steaks and liver; to sauté meat, fish, eggs, etc.
P To deep-fry potatoes, etc., or bring water to the boil rapidly.
For best cooking results and energy saving, only use containers suitable for
electric cooking:
- The bases of containers must be very thick, perfectly flat and clean and dry.
The hob must also be clean and dry.
- Do not use cast iron saucepans or saucepans with a rough base, as they
may scratch the cooking surface.
The diameter of the base of the saucepans must be equal to the diameter of the
circle outlining the cooking zone. If not, energy will be wasted.
To heat food, keep small amounts of water on the boil, and whip up sauces with
egg yolk or butter.
To heat solid or liquid food, keep water on the boil, defrost deep-frozen food, cook
omelettes of 2 or 3 eggs, fruit and vegetables, various cooking operations.

Instructions for the user
6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing any operations requiring access to powered parts, disconnet the appliance from the
power supply.
Do not use a steam jet for cleaning the appliance.
6.1 Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
The glass ceramic hob should be regularly cleaned, preferably after every use, once the residual heat
warning lights have gone off.
Smudges from aluminium-based pans can be easily cleaned off with a cloth dampened
in vinegar.
Remove any burnt residues after cooking with the scraper provided; rinse with water
and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Regular use of the scraper considerably reduces
the need for chemical detergents for the daily cleaning of the hob.
Never use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. cleaning powders, oven sprays, spotremovers and wire sponges).
Dirt which may have fallen on the hob while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can scratch the hob when
moving saucepans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the cooking surface immediately.
Changes in colour do not affect the functioning and stability of the glass ceramic. These are not
alterations to the material of the hob but just residues which have not been removed and have then
carbonised.
Shiny surfaces can form due to the bases of saucepans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing on the
surface, and due to the use of unsuitable detergents. These are difficult to remove with standard
cleaning products. It may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process several times. Using aggressive
detergents, or friction with the base of saucepans, can wear away the decoration on the hob over time
and contribute to the formation of dark marks.
6.2 Weekly cleaning
Clean and maintain the hob once a week using a standard glass ceramic cleaning product. Always follow
the manufacturer's instructions. The silicon in these products creates a protective, water-repellent
membrane which also resists dirt. All marks stay on the membrane and can therefore be easily removed.
After cleaning, dry the surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that there is no detergent left on the cooking
surface as it will undergo an aggressive reaction when heated up and could modify the structure of the
cooking surface.
33
7. SOMETHING NOT WORKING?
