Zone 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.
Description 2.2 Symbols 2.3 Available accessories OFF setting Scraper EN The cooking zone is OFF. Increase/decrease setting Useful for cleaning the hob. Turn the knob clockwise or anti-clockwise to increase or decrease the power for the cooking zone whose value is shown on the displays. Booster setting The accessories intended to come into contact with food are made of materials that comply with the provisions of current legislation.
Use 3 Use 3.1 Instructions High temperature Danger of burns • Protect your hands by wearing heatproof gloves during use. • Do not touch or clean the hob surface during operation or when the residual heat indicator lights are still on. • Do not put empty pans or frying pans on switched on cooking zones. • Keep children under the age of 8 away from the appliance when it is in use. • Activate the controls lock when you have children or pets which could reach the hob.
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 Limiting the cooking duration 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. Booster function The booster function allows you to activate the cooking zone at maximum power as long as 5 minutes. It can be used to bring a large quantity of water to a boil rapidly or to broil meat. 1. Turn the knob anti-clockwise to the setting and release it.
Use 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.
