Ventilation

The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts his high speed when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.

STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT

Before the first use

Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.

Induction principle

An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.

Of course the pan has to be adapted:

• All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it thanks a little magnet): cast iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms...
• Are excluded: cupper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware.... The induction heating zone adapts automatically the size of the pan. With a too small diameter the pan doesn't work. This diameter is varying in function of the heating zone diameter.

If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [] .

Starting-up

You must first switching on the hob, then the heating zone:

• Start-up / switch off a heating zone:

Action

To set

To stop

Control panel

Turn the knob to the right

Turn the knob to [0]

Display

[1]to [9]

[0] or [H]

Pan detection

The pan detection ensures a perfect safety. The induction doesn't work:

• If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not adapted to the induction. In this case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ ] . This symbol disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone.
• If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows [ ] . The symbol [ ] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The cooking continues with the power level setted before.

After use, switch the heat element off: don't let the pan detection [ ] active.

Residual heat indication

After the switch off of a heating zone or the complete stop of the hob, the heating zones are still hot and indicates [H] on the display.

The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched without danger.

As far as the residual heat indicators are on light, don't touch the heating zones and don't put any heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.

Booster function

Booster [P] grant a boost to the heating zone.

When this function is activated, the heating zone work during 10 minutes at an ultra- high speed. This is meant to be used for heating up big quantities of water very quickly (for e.g. pasta).

• Start-up / Stop the Power:

Action	Control panel	Display
Start up the Booster	Turn the left knob to the right until the stop	[P]
Stop the Booster	Turn the knob	[9] to [0]

Control panel locking

To avoid modification of the setting of the cooking zone, the control panel can be locked.

Action	Control panel	Display
Lock the hob	Turn the two knobs to the left of position [ A ] during 3s	[L]
Unlock the hob	Turn the two knobs to the left of position [ A ] during 3s

Automatic cut-off

The table has a time limit of operation depending on the power level selected. Between 1 and 5, it switches off automatically after 60 minutes, and between 6 and 9 it switches off after 30 minutes.

Pan quality

Adapted materials:

steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, ferromagnetic stainless-steel, aluminium with ferromagnetic bottom.

Not adapted materials:

aluminium and stainless-steel without ferromagnetic bottom, cupper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.

The manufacturers specify if their products are compatible induction.

To check if pans are compatibles:

• Put a little water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [ 9]. This water must heat in a few seconds.
• A magnet stucks on the bottom of the pan.

Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise doesn't mean any failure on the appliance and doesn't influence the cooking operating.

Pan dimension

The cooking zones are, until a certain limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan. However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according to the corresponding cooking zone.

To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan well in the centre of the cooking zone.
