Description 2 Description 2.1 General Description 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. This means the heat is no longer transmitted from the hob to the pan but created directly inside the pan by the inductive current.

Accelerator setting Using this setting the accelerator function of the cooking zone activates. Cooking zones Turn the knob clockwise or anti-clockwise to increase or decrease the power for the cooking zone whose value is shown on the displays.
Use 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 3.1 Preliminary operations 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.
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.
Use Limiting the cooking duration The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use. If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation for each zone depends on the power level selected. When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert sounds and, if the zone is hot, the symbol appears on the display.
Use Power level Suitable for: 0 OFF setting Cooking small amounts of food 1-2 (minimum power) 3-4 Cooking Cooking large quantities of 5-6 food, roasting larger portions 7-8 Roasting, slow frying with flour 9 Roasting Roasting / browning, cooking P* (maximum power) * see booster function Residual heat 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.
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 (the zone is switched on at the highest setting and then continues at the selected power level). 1. Turn the knob anti-clockwise to position and release it. The display shows the symbol. 2. Select the required heating power (1 - 8) within 3 seconds.
Use The controls lock is a device that protects the appliance from accidental or inappropriate use. 1. When all the cooking zones are turned off, simultaneously turn the two cooking zone control knobs anti-clockwise to the left (position ). In order to remove the control lock repeat the same operations described previously.
Use 2. Turn and hold the front left and front right cooking zone control knobs anticlockwise (position time. ) at the same The rear left and rear right cooking zone displays will indicate “7.” and “4”. 3. Release the knobs. 4. Turn and hold both knobs anti-clockwise again. The rear left and rear right cooking zone displays will indicate the power levels “4.” and “5”. 5. Release the knobs. 6. Turn and hold both knobs anti-clockwise again.
Use To reset the product to its original power setting (or to a different power level), repeat the configuration procedure.

Cleaning and maintenance 4 Cleaning and maintenance 4.1 Cleaning the surfaces Instructions To keep the surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first. 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).
Cleaning and maintenance Knobs Do not use aggressive products containing alcohol or products for cleaning steel and glass when cleaning the knobs, as these products could cause permanent damage. The knobs should be cleaned with a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water, then dried carefully. They can be removed by pulling them out from their housings. After cleaning, dry the appliance thoroughly to prevent any water or detergent from interfering with its operation or creating unsightly marks.
Cleaning and maintenance 4.4 What to do if... The hob does not work: • Make sure that the hob is connected and that the main switch is turned on. • Make sure that there is no power failure. • Make sure that the fuse has not blown. In this case replace the fuse. • Make sure that the circuit breaker of the residential electrical system has not tripped. In this case, reset the circuit breaker. The cooking results are unsatisfactory: • Make sure that the cooking temperature is not too high or too low.
Installation 5.2 Section cut from the countertop 5.1 Safety instructions 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). Heat production during appliance operation Risk of fire • Check that the carcase material is heat resistant.
Installation Hob seal 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. Hobs with a 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. Do not use silicone to secure the hob. This would make it impossible to remove the hob, if necessary, without damaging it. L 600 A min. 50 54 X 555-560 B min.
Installation Spring clips 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. Fixing brackets • Screw the mounting brackets into the holes on the sides of the bottom casing to fasten the hob correctly to the structure.
Installation 5.3 Mounting Over built-in oven unit 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. On top of an empty kitchen unit or drawers If there are other pieces of furniture (lateral walls, drawers, etc.
Installation Power voltage Danger of electrocution • 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. • The tightening torque of the screws of the terminal supply wires must be 1.5 2 Nm.
Installation The diagram below illustrates the power supply terminal from below, with no cables connected. Terminals 4 and 5 must be connected at all times. Connection with plug and socket Make sure that the plug and socket are of the same type. Avoid using adapters and shunts as these could cause overheating and a risk of burns. Run the power cable in the rear part of the unit. Make sure that it does not come into contact with the lower part of the hob or a builtin oven below it.
