Description 2.2 Control panel 1 On/Off button 2 Scroll bar 3 Booster function button 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.
Description 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. List of symbols On/Off button: turns the hob on or off. Booster function button: activates maximum power.
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 Suitable cookware: • Enamelled steel cookware with thick bases. • Cast iron cookware with an enamelled base. • Cookware in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel and aluminium with a special base. 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.
Advice on energy-saving Power levels • The diameter of the base of the pan must not exceed the width of the silk-screened cooking zone. • Pans must not be placed outside the perimeter of the hob or above the front control panel. • 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.

Cleaning and maintenance 4.1 Instructions Improper use Risk of damage to surfaces • Do not use steam jets to clean the appliance. • Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures on the hob during cooking. • Do not place materials or substances that could melt (plastic or aluminium foil). • Keep sensor buttons clean at all times and do not rest any object on them. • Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on parts made of steel or that have metallic surface finishes (e.g.
Cleaning and maintenance Changes in colour do not affect the operation and stability of the glass. These are not alterations to the material of the hob but just residues which have not been removed and have then carbonised. Shiny surfaces can form due to the bases of pans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing on the surface, and due to the use of unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to remove using conventional cleaning products. It may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process several times.
Installation 5 Installation 5.1 Electrical connection The appliance can be connected as follows: • 220-240 V / 380-415 V 2N~ • Have the electrical connection performed by authorised technical personnel. • Use personal protective equipment. • The appliance must be connected to earth in compliance with electrical system safety standards. • Disconnect the mains supply. • Do not pull the cable to unplug the appliance. • Use cables withstanding a temperature of at least 90°C.
Installation Be careful when connecting additional electrical appliances. Connection cables must not come into contact with hot cooking zones. 5.3 Section cut from the countertop The following operation requires building and/or carpentry work and must therefore be carried out by a competent tradesman. Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (>90°C).
Installation Hob seal EN To prevent leakage of liquid between the frame of the hob and the countertop, place the adhesive seal provided along the entire outer edge of the hob before assembly. Do not use silicone to secure the hob. This would make it impossible to remove the hob, if necessary, without damaging it. Mounting dimensions (models with straight edge) For this kind of hobs additional milling is needed in the recessed hole if you wish to install the hob flush with the work surface.
Installation 5.4 Mounting Over built-in oven unit If installed on top of an oven, the latter must be equipped with a cooling fan. The clearance between the hob and the kitchen units or other built-in appliances must be enough to ensure sufficient ventilation and air discharge. If installed above an oven, a space must be left between the bottom of the hob and the top of the appliance installed below.
Ventilation Spring clips The illustrations below show two examples of installation suitable for proper ventilation and one example of incorrect installation to be avoided. To ensure the hob is fixed and centred as accurately as possible, the clips provided must be positioned as described below: 1. Fit the clips by gently pressing them horizontally into the appropriate space. 2. Then turn them upwards to fix them in place. 5.5 Instructions for the installer • Do not bend or trap the power cable.
