Use 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.
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.
Advice on energy-saving Power levels • The diameter of the base of the pan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone. 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 • 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.
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. 1. Turn the knob anti-clockwise to the position and release it. The display shows the symbol . 2. Select the required heating power (1...8) within 3 seconds. The selected power and symbol will flash alternately on the display. The power level can be increased at any moment.
Use The hob is fitted with a power management module that optimises/limits consumption. If the overall set power levels surpass the maximum limits permitted, the electronic circuit board manages automatically the power supplied by the hot plates. The module tries to maintain the maximum deliverable power levels. The levels set by the automatic management will appear on the display.
