SAFETY GUIDELINES

We have designed this cooking hob for use by private persons in their homes.

These cooking hobs are meant to be used exclusively for cooking beverages and foodstuffs and do not contain any asbestos-based materials.

- Residual heat

A cooking zone can remain hot for several minutes after use.

An "H" is displayed during this period.

Avoid touching the hot areas during this time.

- Child safety device

Your hob is equipped with a child safety device that locks its operation after use or during cooking (See "Using the Child Safety Device" section).

Do not forget to unlock it before using the hob again.

- For users of pacemakers and active implants

The functioning of the hob conforms to current electromagnetic interference standards and thus is in total compliance with legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives).

In order to avoid interference between your cooking hob and a pacemaker, your pacemaker must be designed and programmed in compliance with the regulations that apply to it.

Consequently, we can only guarantee that our own product is compliant.

With regard to the compliance of the pacemaker or any potential incompatibility, you can obtain information from the manufacturer or your attending physician.

Electrical Danger Ensure that the power cables of any electrical appliances plugged in close to the hob are not in contact with the cooking zones.

If a crack appears in the glass worktop, immediately disconnect your appliance to avoid the risk of electric shock.

To do this, remove the fuses or use the circuit breaker.

Do not use your hob until you have replaced the glass worktop.

PROPER POSITIONING

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

Tip

If your oven is located below your hob, job's thermal safety measures forbid simultaneous use of the hob and theysis 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.

Warning

You must ensure that the air intakes ed under your cooking appliance in clear at all times.

For all types of installation, your induction hob needs proper ventilation.

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.

- HOOK-UP

These hobs must be connected to the power grid via an electrical outlet that complies with EIC publication 60083 or an all-pole cut-off device that complies with installation regulations in effect.

When power is first supplied to your hob, or after an extended power outage, an indicator light will appear on the control panel. It automatically disappears after approximately 30 seconds, or as soon as any touch control on the control panel is pressed. This display is normal and, if needed, serves as an indication to the after-sales service staff. In all cases, the user of the hob should disregard it.

Warning

If the power cable is damaged, it should be replaced by the manufacturer, its after-sales service department or by a person with similar qualifications to avoid danger.

COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION

The induction principle

A Inductor
Electronic board
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 temperature. This heat is then transferred to the food, which is simmered or seared depending on your settings.

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.

- WHICH COOKING ZONE SHOULD YOU USE BASED ON YOUR COOKWARE?

Cooking zone	Cookware to use
16 cm	10 .... 18 cm
18 cm	12 .... 22 cm
21 cm	18 .... 24 cm
23 cm	12 .... 26 cm
28 cm	12 .... 32 cm

Tip

To check the suitability of your cook

ware:

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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL PANEL

A Start/stop touch control.
B Power - + touch controls.
Power - + touch controls.

- POWERING ON

Press the start/stop button for the cooking zone you want to use. A flashing 0 and a bip indicate that the cooking zone is on. You can then choose the desired power level.

If you do not select a power level, the cooking zone will automatically turn itself off.

STOP

Press the start/stop button for the cooking zone used or the power " button until 0 is displayed.

ADJUSTING THE POWER

Button B00S Boost

boiling

Tip

For simultaneous use, favour the use of looking zones located on opposite side of the hob.

On the same side, the use of a cooking zone at maximum power results in an automatic limitation of the other cooking zone on that side, which is indicated in the power level display.

- SETTING THE TIMERS

Each cooking zone has its own timer. It can be used as soon as the cooking zone is turned on.

To turn it on or change the timing, press the ^+ or - buttons on the timer.

When setting longer cooking times, you can get to 99 very quickly by pressing the " - " button straight away.

When the cooking is finished, "0" is displayed and a beep sounds. To cancel this information, press any button for the particular cooking zone being used. Otherwise, the information will disappear after a few moments.

To stop the timer manually, press "+" and "-" at the same time or return to 0 using the "-" button.

- USING THE MEMO BUTTON

This button allows you to programme the full cooking cycle for a particular preparation.

Only one memory cycle can be carried out at a given time on the hob.

- To programme a cooking cycle:

1 Place your receptacle on the cooking zone.

4 Set the first power level

Each new power level setting is then saved as well as how long it will run for.

5 Stopping and confirming the programme

The dot flashes while your are programming

Using a programmed cooking cycle:

1 Place your receptacle on the cooking zone. 2

A fixed dot appears and the saved power levels scroll down.

The power level and timer display locks set and the cooking begins.

- NB

• When the cooking is finished, the display shows a 0 and a beep sounds roughly every 5 seconds for a few moments. To cancel this information, press any button from the "MEMO" cooking zone.
• When using MEMO you can return to the normal function (not MEMO) at any time by pressing on the “-”, “+” “pre-selection” buttons to modify your setting or “stop” to stop the cooking.
• To replace an existing saved programme, use the procedure detailed in the paragraph: "To programme a cooking cycle".

Operation:

• From 1 to 5 successive cooking phases can be saved in the same "MEMO" cooking cycle. Beyond 5 phases, "no" displays, and the programming finishes.
• The duration of each phase must be at least 10 seconds for it to be entered into the programme.
• The timer can only be used during the last phase of programmed cooking.
• The pre-heating function is not available in "MEMO" mode
• Using the "MEMO" function takes priority if you are using both cooking zones on the same side of your hob. At high power, the cooking zone on the other side may have its power reduced. A BEEP will alert you if this happens.

PREHEATING

This feature allows you to raise the temperature rapidly in the preparation phase, so that you can proceed with your cooking at the power level you have chosen.

To use it:

• After having set the power to 12, choose the "PC" pre-heating function by pressing the "+" button a second time.
  The display will show "PC".
• As long as this is displayed, you can change your cooking power level.
• A Beep confirms the setting.
• The display flashes alternately between "PC" and your cooking power level: you are in the "pre-heating" phase.
• At the end of the automatic pre-heating phase, your hob now only displays the cooking power level that you had selected originally. You have now come back to normal cooking mode.

WARNING

• When the display shows "PC" (pre-heating), if you do not set the cooking power level, the cooking zone will turn off.

• The pre-heating time is calculated automatically by your hob depending on the cooking power level chosen.

• The pre-heating function cannot be used if the cooking power level is less than 6.
• If you press the power buttons while pre-heating is underway, the "pre-heating" will be cancelled. You come back to normal power setting mode.

Tip

If you are using several receptacles on the

hob at the same time, try to use cooking zones located on opposite sides.

On the same side, using the booster in one zone automatically limits the cooking power level of the other zone visible in the display. This automatic limitation also applies when the pre-heating function is used.

CHILD SAFETY"USE

Your hob has a child safety device which locks the controls when the hob is not in use (when cleaning for example) or when it is being used for cooking (to

maintain your settings). Due to safety reasons, only the "stop" control is always active. It authorises a heating zone to be switched off even when the hob is locked.

How do you lock your hob?

Maintain pressure on the lock key until the led on top lights up and a beep confirms your maneuver.

- Hob locked when in operation

The display of cooking zones in operation alternately indicates power and the locking symbol

When you press the power or timer controls for the zones in operation, the lock led lights up. It will switch off after a few seconds.

Only the "stop" control remains on at all times.

For cooking zones that are not in operation, the 7 symbol and the led light up when you press the "start/stop" controls

This display will switch off after a few seconds.

The hob is locked when switched off

The led above the lock key is switched off. Press this control briefly to switch on the led. The led displays when you press the start / stop key in any zone.

How do you unlock your hob?

Press the lock control until the led switches off and a double beep confirms your maneuver.

Tip

Remember to unlock your hob

before using it again (see chapter on "child safety use").

- SAFETY 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.

- 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.

"Small Items" safety

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.

Warning

Several small objects together on a ring zone may be detected as cook

If the display remains on: power may be supplied and the objects may be heated.

- Protection against overflows

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

• 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.

- Auto-Stop system

If you forget to switch off a cooking zone, your hob has an "Auto-Stop system" safety function which automatically 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 cooking zone is displayed as "AS" or "A" on the control panel and a "bip" sounds for about 2 minutes. Simply press any of the control buttons to stop this.

A double bip will confirm your action.

PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE

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.

MAINTAINING 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.
