1 / INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE

• PROPER POSITIONING If your oven is located below your hob, the hob's thermal safety measures forbid the simultaneous use of the hob and the pyrolysis program of your oven. Your hob is equipped with an anti-overheating safety device. This safety can be activated, for example, when the hob is installed over an oven that is not sufficiently insulated. If this occurs, a series of small lines appear in the control panel. In this case, we recommend that you increase the ventilation of your hob by creating an opening in the side of your cabinet (8 cm x 5 cm) and/or that you install the oven insulation kit (reference 75X1652) that is available from the Post-Sales Service Department. Your appliance should be positioned so that the plug-in unit is accessible. The distance between the edge of your appliance and the side and rear walls (or partitions) must be at least four centimetres (area A). Your appliance can be easily integrated above a cabinet, an oven or a build-in-ready household appliance. You must simply ensure that the air intakes and air outlets are clear (See "Description of Your Appliance" section).

• BUILD-IN Follow the diagram above. Glue the foam seal underneath your appliance by following the outline of the worktop upon which your appliance will rest. This will allow you to achieve an airtight seal with the worktop. Attach the clips to the hob.*
• depending on the model For models and 80cm, make sure that the cross member of the unit does not block the flow of air. If necessary, use a bevel. Warning You must ensure that the air intakes located under your cooking appliance remain clear at all times. For all types of installation, your induction hob needs proper ventilation.

• COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION
• The induction principle

A Inductor B Electronic board C Induced electric current The principle of induction is based on a magnetic phenomenon. When you place your cookware on a cooking zone and you turn it on, the electronic boards in your cooking hob produce "induced" currents in the bottom of the cookware and instantly raise its température. This heat is then transferred to the food, which is simmered or seared depending on your settings. Tip To check the suitability of your cookware: Place the vessel on a cooking zone at power level 4. If the display remains on, your cookware is compatible. If the display flashes, your cookware cannot be used with induction cooking. You can also use a magnet to test the cookware. If a magnet "sticks" to the bottom of the cookware, it is compatible with induction.

• Cookware Most cookware is compatible with induction. Only glass, terra cotta, aluminium without a special finish on the bottom, copper and some non-magnetic stainless steels do not work with induction cooking. We recommend that you select cookware with a thick, flat bottom. The heat will be distributed better and cooking will be more uniform.

2 / USING YOUR APPLIANCE

• VITROCERAMIC COOKWARE
• Cookware They must be designed for electric cooking. They must have flat bases. Preferably use the following types of cookware: - Stainless steel with thick trimetal or "sandwich" base. - Aluminium with smooth, thick base. - Enamelled steel Tip Use cookware of appropriate size.The diameter of the cookware base must be equal or superior to the printed zone Do not leave an empty pan on a cooking. Do not leave a pan containing hot fat or oil unattended on a cooking zone.

• Use A higher setting is necessary in the event of: - abundant quantities - cooking with uncovered cookware - use of a glass or ceramic pot. A lower setting is necessary in the event of: - cooking food that tends to burn easily (begin with a low setting, as it can be increased if necessary). - overflow (remove the cover or the pot then lower the setting).

• Energy economy: To end cooking, place on position 0, leaving the cookware in place to use the heat accumulated (this way you will save energy). Use a cover as often as possible to reduce heat loss through evaporation.

• Automatic cooking zone setting The cooking zones set automatically, they switch on and off to maintain the selected power. This way, the temperature remains consistent and suited to the food you are cooking. The setting frequency varies according to selected power.

2 / USING YOUR APPLIANCE

• Protection against overflows The hob may shut down (with the adjacent symbol in the display) automatically in any of these three situations:

• Temperature limiter Each cooking zone is equipped with a safety sensor that constantly monitors the temperature of the bottom of the cookware. In the event that an empty vessel is left on a cooking zone that is on, this sensor automatically adjusts the power output of the hob, thereby avoiding any risk of damage to the cookware or the hob. - Overflow that spills onto the touch controls. - Damp towel placed over the touch controls. - Metallic object placed on the touch controls. Clean the hob or remove the object, then begin cooking again.

• "Small Items" safety

• Auto-Stop system A small object (such as a fork, a spoon, a ring, etc.) left alone on the hob is not detected as a piece of cookware. The display flashes and no heat is produced. If you forget to switch off a cooking zone, Auto-Stop system" safety your hob has an "A function which automaticallty cuts off the power to the cooking zone, after a predefined period (between 1 and 10 hours depending on the power used). If this safety system is used, the cutoff to the AS" or "A A" on cooking zone is displayed as "A the control panel and a "bip" sounds for about 2 minutes. Simply press any of the control buttons to stop this. A double beep will confirm your action. Warning Several small objects together on a cooking zone may be detected as cookware. If the display remains on: power may be supplied and the objects may be heated.

HOB SAFETIES DURING OPERATION

• Residual heat After intensive use, the cooking zone that you have just used can remain hot for several minutes. An "H" is displayed during this period. Avoid touching the hot areas during this time. Warning Do not touch glowing cooking zones, burn risk.

• PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE Do not store cleaning products or flammable products in the cabinet underneath your cooking hob. Do not heat unopened canned goods; they may burst. Of course, this precaution applies to all types of cooking. Never use a sheet of aluminium for cooking. Never place items wrapped in aluminium foil or packaged in aluminium dishes on your cooking hob. The aluminium will melt and permanently damage your cooking appliance. Objects not intended for cooking should never be placed on the hob (risk of powering on, scratches, etc.). Steam cleaning should never be used. The steam jet could damage your hob. Avoid hard shocks from cookware: The vitroceramic glass worktop is very sturdy; however, it is not unbreakable. Do not place any hot lids flat on your cooking hob. A suction effect may damage the vitroceramic surface. Avoid dragging cookware across the surface, which may in the long-term result in the degradation of the decorative finish of the vitroceramic top. Avoid placing cookware on the frame or cover (depending on the model). Avoid using cookware with rough or bumpy bottoms: they can capture and transfer particles that may produce stains or scratches on your hob. These defects that do not result in appliance malfunction or do not make it unsuitable for use are not covered by the warranty.
