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

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 set 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

The booster function [ P ] available on the rear cooking zone grants a boost of power to the selected heating zone.

If this function is activated the heating zones work during 5 minutes with an ultra-high power.

The booster is foreseen for example to heat up rapidly big quantities of water, like noodles cooking.

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.

Failure to respect these conditions results in loss of warranty.

Installation

How to stick the gasket:

The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet. Its installation has to be done carefully, in conformity with the following drawing.

Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from the external edge of the glass, after removing the protection sheet (3).

Built-in:

• Refer to the diagram below for cut out sizes from work plan. Ensure that there is a distance of 50~mm minimum between the hob and the wall or sides. The work plan must have a minimum thickness of 30mm and must be heat resistant.

• The hobs are classified as "Y" class for heat protection. Ideally during the built-in step, the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or appliance must stand higher than the hob.

• The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob has to be fitted, as well as the edges of furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist temperatures of up to 100^ .

• The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
• Do not install the hob to the top of a non ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
• If a drawer is below the hob, to guarantee a good air circulation and good cooling system of the appliance, maintain a gap of 30 ~mm minimum between the bottom of the drawer and the inferior part of the hob.

• WARNING: The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions, respect a distance minimum of 760~mm .
• If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects (for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.
• The connection cord should be subjected, after built-in step, to no mechanical constraint, such for example of the fact of the drawer. Materials which are often used to make worktops can expand on contact with water. To protect the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant.

• WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.

• The installation of this appliance and the connection to the electrical network should be entrusted only to an electrician perfectly to the fact of the normative regulations and which respects them scrupulously.
