Doing so may cause damage. - Hard or pointed objects dropped on the hob may damage it. - Aluminium foil and plastic containers will melt if placed on the hotplate while it is hot. The use of laminated sheeting is not recommended on the hob.

Overview

The following table presents the most common damage caused:

Damage Cause Measure

Stains Food spillage Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
	Unsuitable cleaning products Only use cleaning products specifically designed for glass-ceramic hobs.
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a tray or working surface.
	Pans with rough bottoms may scratch Check pans.the glass ceramic

Protecting the environment

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Energy-saving advice

■ Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.

■ Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use a lot more energy. The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan base. ■ Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large pan which is not full uses a lot of energy. ■ Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables. ■ Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the power level is too high, energy is wasted.

Induction cooking

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking represents a radical change from the traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages:

■ Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated directly. ■ Energy is saved. ■ Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not burn as quickly. ■ Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power as soon as the control knob is turned on. The induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without having previously switched it off.

Cookware

Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking; these may be made from:

■ enamelled steel ■ cast iron ■ special stainless steel induction pans.

To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a magnet will stick to its base.

There are other types of cookware for induction whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic.

When using large cookware on a smaller ferromagnetic area, only the ferromagnetic zone heats up, so heat might not be uniformly distributed.

Pans with aluminium areas inserted in the base reduce the ferromagnetic area, so less heat may be supplied and the pan may be difficult to detect or not be detected at all.

For good cooking results, the diameter of the cookware's ferromagnetic area should match the size of the hotplate. If cookware is not detected on a hotplate, try it on the next smaller hotplate down.

Unsuitable pans

Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:

■ common thin steel ■ glass - earthenware copper aluminium

Characteristics of the pan base

The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and energy.

Absence of pan or unsuitable size

If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.

Empty pans or those with a thin base

Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.

Pan detection

Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the diameter of your pan.

Care and cleaning

The advice and warnings contained in this section aim to guide you in cleaning and maintaining the hob, so that it is kept in the best possible condition.

Hob

Cleaning

Clean the hob after each use. This prevents food remains left on the surface from burning. Wait until the hob is cool enough before attempting to clean it.

Only use cleaning products specifically designed for hobs. Follow the instructions provided on the packaging.

Do not use:

■ Undiluted washing-up liquid ■ Dishwasher detergent ■ Abrasive products

■ Corrosive products such as oven sprays or stain removers ■ Sponges that may scratch ■ High-pressure or steam cleaners

The best way to remove stubborn stains is to use a glass scraper. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Suitable glass scrapers can be obtained through the Technical Assistance Service or from our online shop.

Hob frame

In order to avoid damage to the hob frame, follow the indications below:

■ Use only slightly soapy hot water ■ Do not use sharp or abrasive products ■ Do not use a glass scraper

* If the warning persists call the Technical Assistance Service. Do not rest hot pans on the control panel.

Normal noise while the appliance is working

Induction heating technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields that generate heat directly at the base of the pan. Depending on how the pan has been manufactured, certain noises or vibrations may be produced such as those described below:

A deep humming sound as in a transformer

This noise is produced when cooking on a high power level. It is caused by the amount of energy transferred from the hob to the pan. The noise disappears or becomes faint when the power level is lowered.

A low whistling sound

This noise is produced when the pan is empty. The noise disappears when water or food is added to the pan.

A crackling sound

This noise occurs in pans made from different materials superimposed on one another. It is caused by vibrations in the adjoining surfaces of the different superimposed materials. The noise comes from the pan. The amount of food and cooking method can vary the noise intensity.

A high-pitched whistling sound

This noise is produced mainly in pans made from different materials superimposed on one another, and it occurs when such pans are heated at maximum power on two hotplates at the same time. The whistling disappears or becomes fainter as soon as the power level is lowered.

Noise from the fan

For proper use of the electronic system, the temperature of the hob must be controlled. To do this, the hob has a fan which turns on when a high temperature is detected. The fan may also work by inertia after the hob has been switched off, if the temperature detected is still too high.

Rhythmic sounds similar to the hands of a clock

This noise is only produced when the 3 or more left hotplates are working and disappears or is reduced when one of the hotplates is switched off.

The noises described are normal, they are part of induction heating technology and not a sign of malfunction.
