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.

4 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

This appliance's packaging material is recyclable. Help recycle it and protect the environment by dropping it off in the municipal receptacles provided for this purpose.

Your appliance also contains a great amount of recyclable material. It is marked with this label to indicate the used appliances that should not be mixed with other waste. This way, the appliance recycling organised by your manufactu

rer will be done under the best possible conditions, in compliance with European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. Contact your town hall or your retailer for the used appliance collection points closest to your home.

We thank you doing your part to protect the environment.

1/ INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCEEN

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, the hob's thermal safety measures forbid the simultaneous use of the hob and the pyrolysis 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 that is available from the Post-Sales Service Department.

Warning

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

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

1 INSTALLING YOUR APPLIANCE EN

- HOOK-UP

• 220-240 V monophase hook-up 32- amp fuse.

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.

- 400 V 2N triphase hook-up

16-amp fuse.

Separate the two phase wires (L1 and L2) before hooking up.

For a 400 V 2N triphase hook-up, if your hob malfunctions, check that the neutral conductor is properly connected.

IMPERATIVE canning with pressure pads.

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 Cozone*	okware 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

• depending on the model

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.

2 USING YOUR APPLIANCEEN

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL PANEL

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

- POWERING ON

Press the start/stop touch control for the zone you want to use. A flashing "0" indicates that the zone is on. You can then choose the desired power level.

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

ADJUSTING THE POWER

Press the + or - power touch controls.

Tip

For simultaneous use, favour the use

of cooking zones located on opposite sides 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 TIMER

The timer functions when the cooking zone in question is in use.

To turn on the timer, press the - or + timer touch controls.

To adjust the timer setting, press the - or + touch controls.

To manually stop the timer, press until "0" is displayed.

When cooking is complete, "0" is displayed and a beep notifies you; to cancel these indications, press any touch control for the cooking zone in question.

Otherwise, these indications will automatically stop after approximately one minute.

- USING THE "CHILD SAFETY DEVICE"

Your cooking hob is equipped with a child safety device that locks its operation after use (e.g. so the hob can be cleaned) or during cooking (e.g. to guard your settings).

For safety reasons, the "off" touch control is always active and allows you to shut off a heating zone, even if it is locked.

How do you lock the control panel?

Identify the touch controls used for locking (- + + ) located above a padlock icon.

Press both of these touch controls simultaneously (-12 +12) until the symbol is displayed.

The display disappears after a

few seconds.

Any attempt to adjust the touch control reactivates this display.

How do you unlock the control panel?

Simultaneously press the - and + touch controls for locking until the locking icon disappears from the display.

Warning

Remember to unlock your hob before it again (See the "Using the Child

Safety Device" section).

27 USING YOUR APPLIANCE EN

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 cooking zone may be detected as cookware.

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 turn off a cooking zone, your hob is equipped with an "Auto-Stop system" safety measure that will automatically shut off the forgotten cooking zone after an amount of time pre-set at the factory (see the table below).

Power level used	The cooking zone automatically shuts off after
between 1 and 4	8 hours
between 5 and 7	2 hours
for 8 and 9	1 hour

In the event that this safety measure is triggered, the powering off of the cooking zone is indicated by an "A" displayed in the control panel. Simply pressing on any of the touch controls will cancel this display.

37 DAILY CARE OF YOUR APPLIANCEEN

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.

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.
