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.

Under certain circumstances, if the hob
and the oven are used at the same time,
the maximum power limit of the
electrical system might be exceeded.

How to read the user manual

This user manual uses the following reading
conventions:

Warning/Caution

Information/Advice

To save energy

• The diameter of the base of the pan must not
extend beyond the lines printed on the glass
ceramic surface.

• Pans must not be placed outside the
perimeter of the hob or on the display.

• 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

Advantages of induction cooking

The appliance 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.

• 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

accumulated during the manufacturing process

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.

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.

Priority is given to the last zone set.

The power control module does not
affect the total power consumption of
the appliance.

in order for the electronic circuits and the
controls area to work correctly:

• Remove any protective film from the outside
or inside of the appliance, including any
accessories (if present).

• Remove any labels (apart from the technical
data plate).
