Cooking zone description
Induction is the fastest cooking method available.
Unlike traditional cooking zones, the induction zone
does not heat up the glass surface. The pan itself is
the heating element: the pan evenly transfers heat to
its contents as long as it is made of ferromagnetic
material.
Each zone is controlled:
by a selector key whose silk screen printing
reproduces the cooking zone drawing,
and by a power adjustment set comprising two
parts (+,-).
As long as the temperature of the cooking zones
remains above 60°C, even after use,
heat indicators stay onheat indicators stay on
heat indicators stay on (the power display

The table below features information on how to use
the zones to their full potential.

The safety devices
Pan recognition
Each induction cooking zone is fitted with a pan
recognition device. The cooking zone only provides
heat in the presence of a pan which is suitable for
the cooking zone.
A blinking pan recognition indicator could signal:
that the pan is made of unsuitable material, which
is not ferromagnetic,
that the diameter of the pan is too small,
that the pan has been removed.
Always match the

Do not place two small saucepans on oval cooking
zones.

diameter of the pan with thatdiameter of the pan with that
What cookware to use
Given that induction only exists when the magnetic
field is sealed by a metallic recipient, the pan stops
being heated as soon as it is taken off the cooking
zone.
Use cookware made of material which is
compatible with induction (ferromagnetic
material).
Cast iron, enamelled steel or special induction
stainless steel saucepans are ideal.
Copper, ceramic, earthenware, glass, terracotta,
aluminium and non magnetic stainless steel
cookware is incompatible with induction cooking.
The easiest way to find out whether the pan is
suitable is with a magnet. If the magnet is
attracted by the pan bottom and stays stuck to the
same, the pan is made of ferromagnetic material
and can be used on your induction hob.
We recommend you use pans with a very flat and
thick bottom and avoid at all costs all cookware
with irregular rough bases which could scratch the
glass surface.
SUITABLE
UNSUITABLE
Acoustic signal
Anomalies such as:
an object (such as a saucepan or a lid, etc.)
placed for more than 10 seconds on the control
zone,
boiled-over liquids or food spilled on the control
zone,
prolonged pressure on a key,...could cause a
beep to sound and the hob to turn off.
To stop the beep from sounding, remove the cause
of the malfunction.
To use the hob, turn it back on and re-select the
cooking zone(s) you wish to use. Set the desired
heating power.
Safety cut out
Your appliance is fitted with a safety cut out which
intervenes after a certain amount of time (see table)
depending on the power setting. When the safety
cut out has intervened, the power display indicates
0.
for example: the back right cooking zone is set to 5
and the front left zone is set to 2. The back right
zone will turn off after 4 hours of operation and the
front left zone will turn off after 6 hours of operation.
To unlock the controls, turn the hob off by pressing
the

Precautions and tips
GB
This appliance has been designed and
manufactured in compliance with international safety
standards. The following warnings are provided for
safety reasons and must be read carefully.
Practical advice on using the appliance
To obtain the best results from your hob:
Use flat-bottomed pans to ensure that they adhere
to the cooking zone perfectly.
Always use pans with a diameter that is large
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use
all the available heat.
Make sure that the bottom of the cookware is
always dry and clean to guarantee correct
adherence and durability, not only for the cooking
zones but also for the cookware itself.
Avoid using the same cookware that is used on
gas burners: the heat concentration on gas
burners may have warped the base of the pan,
causing it not to adhere to the surface correctly.
Never leave a cooking zone on without cookware
placed on it because it heats up and rapidly
reaches the maximum level, which could damage
the heating elements.
General safety
The appliance should not be operated by people
(including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capacities, by inexperienced
individuals or by anyone who is not familiar with
the product. These individuals should, at the very
least, be supervised by someone who assumes
responsibility for their safety or receive
preliminary instructions relating to the operation of
the appliance.
The appliance was designed for domestic use
inside the home and is not intended for
commercial or industrial use.
The appliance must not be installed outdoors,
even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous
to leave the appliance exposed to rain and
storms.
Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with
wet or damp hands and feet.
The appliance must be used by adults only for the
preparation of food, in accordance with the
instructions provided in this booklet. Do not use
the hob as a worktop or chopping board.
The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical
shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with
a sharp object such as a tool. If this happens,
disconnect the appliance from the electricity
mains immediately and contact a Service Centre.
If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the
appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.
Ensure that power supply cables of other
electrical appliances do not come into contact
with the hot parts of the hob.
Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively
hot for at least thirty minutes after they have been
switched off. An indicator light provides a warning
when residual heat is present (see Start-up and use).
Keep any object which could melt away from the
hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects,
or products with a high sugar content. Be
especially careful when using plastic film and
aluminium foil or packaging:
if placed on surfaces that are still hot, they may
cause serious damage to the hob.
Always make sure that pan handles are turned
towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid
accidental burns.
When unplugging the appliance, always pull the
plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the
cable.
Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work
without having disconnected the appliance from
the electricity mains.
Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids,
etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.
For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or
other active implants:
The hob complies with all current standards on
electromagnetic interference.
Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in
keeping with legal requirements (89/336/CEE
directives). It is designed not to create
interference on any other electrical apparatus
being used on condition that the apparatus in
question also complies with this legislation.
Your induction hob generates short-range
magnetic fields.
To avoid any interference between your induction
hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be
designed to comply with relevant regulations.
In this respect, we can only guarantee our own
product conformity. Please consult the pacemaker
manufacturer or your doctor concerning its
conformity or any possible incompatibility.
8
Care and maintenance
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity
supply before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for
example, products in spray cans for cleaning
barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust
products, powder detergents or sponges with
abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface
beyond repair.
Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob
using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent
kitchen roll.
If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special
glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well
and dry thoroughly.
Food residue and dirt can be removed using a
special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do
not wait for the hob to cool down in order to avoid
incrustations. For excellent results, use a special
stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic glass
cleaning soaked in soapy water.
Stainless steel frame *
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
cleaning products containing phosphorus.
After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface
well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the
surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.
Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is
similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or
degreasing products which are not suitable for use
with aluminium.
Disassembling the hob
If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:
1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on
each side.
2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in
each corner.
3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.
Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If
the appliance breaks down, contact a Service
Centre.
GB
If any plastic or sugary substances are
accidentally melted on the hob, remove them
immediately with the scraper, while the surface is
still hot.
Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a
special protective maintenance product: the
invisible film left by this product protects the
surface from drips during cooking. This
maintenance should be carried out while the
appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
Always remember to rinse the appliance well with
clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can
become encrusted during subsequent cooking
processes.
Only available on certain models.
