DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY Ç €

This appliance has been designed, manufactured and marketed in conformit with the safety requirements of "Low Voltage” Directive 2006/95/EC (replacing 73/ 23/EECas amended) and protection requirements of"EMC" Directive 2004/108/EC. = This appliance meetsthe eco design requirements of european regulation N. 66/2014, in conformity to the european standard EN 60350-2. BEFORE USE IMPORTANT: The cooking zones will not switch on if pots are not the right size. Only use pots bearing the symbol “INDUCTION SYSTEM" (Figure opposite). Place the pot on the required cooking zone before switching the hob on. Using suitable pots, the cooking zones cannot be used at temperatures below 10°C.

EXISTING POTS AND PANS

Lg > Sd x Use a magnet to check ithe bottom ofthe potis suitable for the induction hob: bottom ofthe pots and pans are unsuitable if ot magneticaly detectable. = ke sure pots have a smooth bottom, otherwise they could scratch the hob. Check dishes. = Never place hot pots or pans on the surface ofthe hobs control panel. This could result in damage.

RECOMMENDED POT BOTTOM WIDTHS

Place the pot on the required cooking zone before switching the hob on. For good cooking results, the diameter ofthe base ofthe pot should match the size ofthe hotplate.

Pan size To determine the size ofthe pot please measure the base ofthe pot (see picture) and refer to recommended pots bottom width table, reported below, for perfect usage and correct pan detection. Each cooking zone has a minimum limit of detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You should therefore use the cooking one that is most suitable for the diameter of Your pan. EN6

For best performance, when you use two pots simultaneously, put them according to the pictures below:

NOISES MADE BY THE HOB

The induction cooktops can generate a set ofnoise and vibration during normal operation, depending on the type of material and the processing ofthe food, such as those described below: + Noise contact: this type of vibration is due to the use of pots made of different materials superimposed + Sounds dickat mid-lower power: this noise is produced in order to achieve the low-mid power required. + Sounds like rhythmic lick: this noise is produced when operating several areas of cooking and / or igh performance. + Hissing weak: this ose is due to the type of container used and the quantity of food contained. + Background noise: the induction cooker is equipped with a fan aimed at cooling the electronic components and fo this reason during operation and also for à few minutes after switching ofthe hob you hear the noise ofthe fan. Increase / decrease the cooking zones activated, the background noise ofthe fan may increase or decrease. These conditions are normal and essential for the proper functioning of the induction system, they are not indication of failure or damage. ENT
