PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Attention:

Before any maintenance on the appliance disconnect it from the electrical power supply.

The distance between the lower face of the glass

•

ceramic hob and the cupboard or separating panel must be at least 40 mm. If the glass ceramic surface should break or crack,

•

do not use it, but call the After-sales Service immediately. This cooktop is designed solely for use as a

•

domestic appliance for cooking food. No other type of use is permitted. The manufacturer declines all liability for improper use or incorrect use of the controls. Avoid exposing the cooktop to atmospheric

•

agents. Any repairs or maintenance work on the

•

appliance must be carried out exclusively by a qualified technician. Never touch the cooktop with any wet part of

•

the body and do not operate it with bare feet. This appliance is not intended for use by persons

•

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given initial supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Prevent children from coming into contact with:

•

- the cooktop in general in order to avoid injury.

- While it is on and after it has just been switched off, the cooktop reaches very high temperatures;

- packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, metal parts, etc.);

- an old cooktop to be scrapped.

Make sure that the electrical wires of other

•

electrical appliances near the cooktop do not come into contact with hot parts. Never leave the cooktop unattended if you are

•

using a lot of fat or oil: risk of oil or fat overheating and catching fire! Do not use the cooktop surface as a work surface.

•

Do not switch on the hotplates/cooking zones

•

without pots. Do not place plastic, aluminium foil, cloths, paper

•

etc. on the hotplates/cooking zones while they are still hot. The cooktop features hotplates/cooking zones of

•

different sizes. Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is equal to, or slightly larger than, that of the hotplates/cooking zones.

Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks,

•

spoons or lids on the surfaces of the hob as they can become hot. The glass ceramic induction hob has good

•

mechanical resistance and is designed to withstand minor accidents and incorrect usage; however, if an object falls on it and damages the surface, do not use the hob. Disconnect it from the electrical power supply and call the nearest After Sales Service. When the hob is in use, the surfaces of the cooking

•

zones may heat up due to transfer of heat from foods being cooked to the pot and subsequently to the glass.

To obtain the best cooking results, it is advisable

•

to use flat-bottomed metal pots and pans whose bottom diameter corresponds to that of the induction cooking zones, so that the magnetic sensor detects them. To check that pots and pans are made of ferrous metal, use a magnet. The diameter of the pots and pans must correspond to the diameter of the induction cooking zone. When using pots and pans with a non-stick surface

•

(such as Teflon) without any oil or grease, pre-heat by setting to number 7 or 8.

Never heat canned foods without first having opened the can: they can explode! This warning also applies to all other types of cooktops.

Do not use aluminium foil for cooking and do not

•

place food wrapped in aluminium foil on the glass ceramic induction hob. Never place metal utensils on the hob.

: the cooking zones will not go on if the pots

Note

and pans are not of the correct dimensions or cannot be magnetically detected. If a pot or pan is removed from the hotplate, it will go off.

The hotplate will remain switched off until

•

another pot or pan is placed on it.

TO OBTAIN THE BEST RESULTS:

Make sure you place the pot or pan in the centre

•

of the cooking zone outlined on the glass ceramic induction hob.

COOKING TIPS

1-2

2 3-4 4-5

5 6-7

Melting butter, chocolate, etc. Keeping food warm and reheating small quantities of liquid Heating larger quantities, making custards and sauces Gentle simmering, for example: boiled vegetables, spaghetti, soups, pot roasts, stews For all fried food, cutlets, steaks, cooking without use of lid, for example: risotto Browning meats, roast potatoes, fried fish and to boil large quantities of water Brisk frying, griddling steaks, etc.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is equal to, or

•

slightly larger than, that of the cooking zones.

• Only use magnetic pots and pans with a flat bottom.

Induction cooktops only work when used with pans and pots

•

made of magnetic material. Suitable pans can be enamelled and made of cast iron or special steel: cookware manufacturers mark their products with the word “INDUCTION” on the base to indicate that they are compatible with induction cooktops. Ind uc ti on cooktops DO NOT W OR K w ith cookware mad e o f

•

normal stainless steel, glass, ceramics, copper or aluminium. To check that pots and pans are made of ferrous (magnetic)

•

material, use a magnet. The cooktop will provide optimal performance when used

•

with induction-cooking compatible pans of a size that is the same a s or sli ghtly l arger than the cooking area marked on the glass-ceramic hob. Make sure you place the pot or pan in the centre of the cooking

•

zone outlined on the glass-ceramic induction cooktop. If possible, keep pot lids on when cooking.

•

Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with little water in order to

•

cut down cooking time. A pressure cooker allows you to save even more energy and

•

time.

Safety

After use, when a hotplate or the entire hob is turned off, a

residual heat indicator goes on displaying an H (hot), indicating that the corresponding cooking zone is still dangerously hot. The H stays on until the cooking zone has reached a safe level (around 60 °C). An automatic switch off device activates if a cooking zone is

accidentally left on for a long time. It can be turned back on immediately if necessary by using the controls. To prevent damage to the electronic circuits, the hob is

equipped with a sensor which constantly monitors the temperature of these circuits. In cases of overheating, the hob turns off automatically until a safe temperature is reached. To prevent children and others from improperly using the

appliance and to prevent it from being accidentally switched on during cleaning operations, the hob is equipped with a safety lock, the key button. By pressing this button the hob is locked and the red LED turns on.

NO!

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Important:

or steam cleaning equipment.

Clean the cooktop, when it is cool, after each use. This will

•

prevent the build-up of dirt and make cleaning easier. Use a clean cloth, absorbent kitchen wipes and a mild washing up

•

liquid or a specific glass ceramic cleaner. Remove baked-on dirt with the scraper tool (if supplied) and

•

specific cleaning products. Food spills should be cleaned off before they bake onto the glass-

•

ceramic surface. Do not use abrasive products, corrosive chlorine-based cleaners,

•

oven-sprays or pan scourers. The cooktop should be treated periodically with a proprietary

•

brand of protective cleaner, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Important

Periodically check for dust under the appliance, near the cooling air inlet or the outlet openings. This could hinder the ventilation and cooling of the electronic module and decrease the effectiveness of the hob.

never clean the appliance with high pressure water
