2.1 General Description
Advantages of induction cooking
The hob is equipped with an
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.
2.2 Cooking zones
• 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
transmitted to the pan placed on the hob.
• 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.

3.1 Preliminary operations
In order to remove any moisture that could
have accumulated during the manufacturing
process and for the electronic circuits and
control keypad to work properly:
1. Remove the protective films from the
external surfaces of the appliance and
accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the
technical data plate).
3. Place a pan full of water on each of the
front cooking zones and switch them on
to the maximum power setting for at least
30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, switch off the front
cooking zones and repeat this operation
for the rear cooking zones and any
central cooking zone.
5. If after carrying out the above operations
the controls do not work properly, it
might be necessary to extend the
operations until the moisture has
completely evaporated.
3.2 Using the hob
On first connection to the electrical
mains, an automatic check will be
carried out that will switch on all
indicator lights for a few seconds.
All the appliance’s control and monitoring
devices are located together on the front
panel. The relevant cooking zone is
indicated next to each knob.
Just turn the knob clockwise to the required
power setting.
Cookware suitable for use in induction
cooking
Cookware used on the induction cooking
surface must be made of metal, with
magnetic properties and a sufficiently large
base.
Suitable cookware:
• Enamelled steel cookware with thick
bases.
• Cast iron cookware with an enamelled
base.
• Cookware in multilayer stainless steel,
ferritic stainless steel and aluminium with
a special base.
42
Page 13
Use
Unsuitable cookware:
• Copper, stainless steel, aluminium,
fireproof glass, wood, ceramic and
terracotta cookware.
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 pan, place it
on a cooking zone and start the hot plate. If
the symbol appears on the display, it
means the pan is not suitable.
Use only cookware with a
perfectly flat bottom which is
suitable for induction hot plates.
Using cookware with an irregular
bottom could jeopardise the
efficiency of the heating system
and prevent cookware from being
detected on the hot plate.
Cookware recognition
When there is no saucepan on a cooking
zone or if the saucepan is too small, no
energy will be transmitted and the
symbol will appear on the display.
If there is a suitable saucepan on the
cooking zone, the recognition system
detects it and switches on the hob to the
power level set using the knob. Energy
transmission is also interrupted when the
saucepan is removed from the cooking
zone (the symbol will be shown on the
display).
If the cookware recognition function is
activated in spite of the saucepan or frying
pan on the cooking zone being smaller
than the zone itself, only the necessary
energy will be transmitted.
Cookware recognition limits: The minimum
diameter of the pan base is indicated by a
circle or a cross on the cooking zone
(depending on the model).
Pans with smaller diameters risk not being
detected and therefore not activating the
inductor.
EN
43

Use
Limiting the cooking duration
The hob has an automatic device which
limits the duration of use.
If the cooking zone settings are not
changed, the maximum duration of
operation for each zone depends on the
power level selected.
When the device for limiting the duration of
use is activated, the cooking zone turns off,
a short alert sounds and, if the zone is hot,
the symbol appears on the display.

Protection from overheating
If the hob is used on full power for a long
period, the electronics will have trouble
cooling down if the room temperature is
high.
To avoid excessively high temperatures
forming in the electronics, the power to the
cooking zone is reduced automatically.
Advice on energy-saving
• The diameter of the base of the pan must
correspond to the diameter of the
cooking zone.
• When buying a pan, check whether the
diameter indicated is that of the base or
the top of the pan, 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 helps to retain vitamins
contained 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 pans with a
suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, half-empty
saucepan leads to a waste of energy.
44
Under certain circumstances, if the
hob and the oven are being used
at the same time, the maximum
power limit that can be used by the
electrical system might be
exceeded.

minutes. It can be used to bring a
large quantity of water to a boil
rapidly or to broil meat.
• Turn the knob clockwise to position
for two seconds and then release it. The
display shows the symbol.
(Only for cooking zones 2 and 4): After 5
minutes the booster function will
automatically be disabled and cooking will
continue at power level 9.
The Booster function has priority
over the heating accelerator
function.
EN
• Supervise children carefully as they
cannot easily see the residual heat
indicator. 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.
If the cooking zone is still hot after being
switched off, the symbol will be
displayed on the display. The symbol clears
once the temperature drops below 60°C.
45
Page 16
Use
Heating accelerator
Each cooking zone is equipped
with a heating accelerator that
allows the maximum power to be
delivered for a time that is
proportional to the selected power
(the zone is switched on at the
highest setting and then continues
at the selected power level).
1. Turn the knob anti-clockwise to
position and release it. The display
shows the symbol.
2. Select the required heating power (1 - 8)
within 3 seconds. The selected power
and the symbol will flash alternately
on the display.
The power level can be increased at any
moment. The “maximum power” period will
automatically be modified.
Turn the knob to power level 9 to
disable the heating accelerator.
Then set the knob to the required
heating level (1...8).
If the heating accelerator has been
set to 9, turn the knob anticlockwise.
Power control
The hob is fitted with a power control
module that optimises/limits consumption. If
the overall set power level exceeds the
maximum limit permitted, the electronic
circuit board will automatically manage the
power supplied by the hot plates.
The module tries to maintain the maximum
deliverable power levels. Levels set by the
automatic control will appear on the
display.
The flashing of a power level indicates that
it will be automatically limited to a new level
selected by the power control module.
Priority is given to the first zone that
is set.
The power control module does
not affect the total power
consumption of the appliance.
46
Page 17

Cleaning and maintenance
4 Cleaning and maintenance
Instructions
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures on
the hob during cooking.
• Do not place materials or substances
that could melt (plastic or aluminium foil).
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on parts
made of steel or that have metallic
surface finishes (e.g. anodizing, nickelor chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents (e.g. scouring powders, stain
removers and metallic sponges) on
glass parts. Use wooden or plastic
utensils.
We recommend the use of
cleaning products distributed by
the manufacturer.
4.1 Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the surfaces in good condition,
they should be cleaned regularly after use.
Let them cool first.
4.2 Ordinary weekly cleaning
Clean and maintain the hob once a week
using an ordinary glass 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
removed easily. 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 a corrosive
reaction when heated up and could modify
the structure of the cooking surface.
4.3 Food stains or residues
Light coloured marks from pans with
aluminium bases can be easily cleaned off
with a cloth moistened in vinegar.
Remove any burnt-on residues after
cooking; then rinse with water and dry
thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Dirt which may have fallen on the hob
while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can
scratch the hob when moving pans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the
cooking surface immediately.
50
Page 21
Cleaning and maintenance
Changes in colour do not affect the
operation and stability of the glass. 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 pans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing
on the surface, and due to the use of
unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to
remove using conventional cleaning
products. It may be necessary to repeat the
cleaning process several times. Use of
corrosive detergents or rubbing of pan
bases can wear away the decoration on
the hob over time and contribute to the
formation of stains.
After cleaning, dry the appliance
thoroughly to prevent any water or
detergent from interfering with its
operation or creating unsightly
marks.
Knobs
Do not use aggressive products
containing alcohol or products for
cleaning steel and glass when
cleaning the knobs, as these
products could cause permanent
damage.
The knobs should be cleaned with a soft
cloth dampened with lukewarm water, then
dried carefully. They can be removed by
pulling them out from their housings.

4.4 What to do if...
The hob does not work:
• Make sure that the hob is connected
and that the main switch is turned on.
• Make sure that there is no power failure.
• Make sure that the fuse has not blown. In
this case replace the fuse.
• Make sure that the circuit breaker of the
residential electrical system has not
tripped. In this case, reset the circuit
breaker.
The cooking results are unsatisfactory:
• Make sure that the cooking temperature
is not too high or too low.
The hob smokes:
• Let the hob cool down and clean it once
cooking is complete.
• Make sure that the food has not spilled
out of the pan and use a larger cooking
vessel, if needed.
The fuses blow or the circuit breaker of the
residential electrical system trips repeatedly.
• Call Technical Support or an electrician.

5.1 Safety instructions
Heat production during appliance
operation
Risk of fire
• Check that the carcase material is heat
resistant.
• Check that the carcase has the required
openings.
•
WARNING: The temperature of the
surface is more than 95°C. Access to
the lower part of the hob must be limited
in order to avoid hazards.
Veneers, adhesives or plastic coatings on
adjacent furniture should be temperatureresistant (>90°C), otherwise they might
warp over time.
The minimum clearance between exhaust
hoods and the cooking surface must be at
least the distance indicated in the exhaust
hood installation instructions.
The minimum clearances must also be
respected for the edges of the hob on the
back as indicated in the mounting
illustrations.
5.2 Section cut from the countertop
The following operation requires
building and/or carpentry work
and must therefore be carried out
by a competent tradesman.
Installation can be carried out on
various materials such as masonry,
metal, solid wood or plastic
laminated wood as long as they
are heat resistant (>90°C).
Make a hole in the countertop of the unit
according to the dimensions shown in the
figure (mm).

Hob seal
To prevent leakage of liquid between the
frame of the hob and the countertop, place
the adhesive seal provided along the entire
outer edge of the hob before assembly.
Do not use silicone to secure the
hob. This would make it impossible
to remove the hob, if necessary,
without damaging it.
Hobs with a straight edge
For this kind of hobs additional milling is
needed in the recessed hole if you wish to
install the hob flush with the work surface.

After laying the adhesive seal (A) on the
glass surface and after positioning and
securing the hob, fill the edges with
insulating silicone (B) and wipe away any
excess.
In the event the hob needs to be removed,
cut the silicone using a cutter before
attempting to remove it (C).
Spring clips
To ensure the hob is fixed and centred as
accurately as possible, the clips provided
must be positioned as described below:
1. Fit the clips by gently pressing them
horizontally into the appropriate space.
Fixing brackets
• Screw the mounting brackets into the
holes on the sides of the bottom casing to
fasten the hob correctly to the structure.

5.3 Mounting
Over built-in oven unit
The clearance between the hob and the
kitchen units or other built-in appliances
must be enough to ensure sufficient
ventilation and air discharge.
If installed above an oven, a space must be
left between the bottom of the hob and the
top of the appliance installed below.
If installed on top of an oven, the
latter must be equipped with a
cooling fan.
On top of an empty kitchen unit or
drawers
If there are other pieces of furniture (lateral
walls, drawers, etc.), dishwashers or fridges
under the hob, a double-layer wooden
base must be installed at least 20 mm from
the bottom of the hob to avoid any
accidental contact. It must only be possible
to remove the double-layer base using
suitable equipment.
