Child safety device Your hob is equipped with a child safetydevice that locks its operation after use orduring cooking (See "Using the ChildSafety Device" section).Do not forget to unlock it before using thehob again. ••

For users of pacemakers and

active implants The functioning of the hob conforms to cur-rent electromagnetic interference standardsand thus is in total compliance with legalrequirements (89/336/CEE directives).In order to avoid interference between yourcooking hob and a pacemaker, your pacema-ker must be designed and programmed incompliance with the regulations that apply to it. Consequently, we can only guarantee that ourown product is compliant.With regard to the compliance of the pacema-ker or any potential incompatibility, you canobtain information from the manufacturer oryour attending physician. Electrical Danger

Ensure that the power cables of any

electrical appliances plugged in close to

the hob are not in contact with the cooking

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 cir-

Do not use your hob until you have repla-

ced the glass worktop.

PROPER POSITIONING Your appliance should be positioned so thatthe plug-in unit is accessible.The distance between the edge of yourappliance and the side and rear walls (or par-titions) must be at least four centimetres (area A). Your appliance can be easily integrated abovea cabinet, an oven or a build-in-ready house-hold appliance. You must simply ensure thatthe 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 applianceby following the outline of the worktop uponwhich your appliance will rest. This will allowyou to achieve an airtight seal with the work- top. Attach the clips to the hob.***depending on the model

Tip If your oven is located below yourhob, the hob's thermal safety measures for-bid the simultaneous use of the hob and thepyrolysis program of your oven.Your hob is equipped with an anti-overhea-ting safety device.This safety can be activated, for example,when the hob is installed over an oven thatis not sufficiently insulated. If this occurs, aseries of small lines appear in the controlpanel. In this case, we recommend that youincrease the ventilation of your hob by crea-ting an opening in the side of your cabinet(8 cm x 5 cm) and/or that you install theoven insulation kit that is available from thePost-Sales Service Department. Warning You must ensure that the air intakeslocated under your cooking applianceremain clear at all times.For all types of installation, your inductionhob needs proper ventilation.52/51 •

32 - amp fuse. Warning If the power cable is damaged, itshould be replaced by the manufacturer, itsafter-sales service department or by a per-son with similar qualifications to avoid dan- ger. For a 400 V 2N triphase hook-up, if your hobmalfunctions, check that the neutral conduc-tor is properly connected.These hobs must be connected to the powergrid via an electrical outlet that complies withEIC publication 60083 or an all-pole cut-offdevice that complies with installation regula-tions in effect.When power is first supplied to your hob, orafter an extended power outage, an indicatorlight will appear on the control panel. It auto-matically disappears after approximately 30seconds, or as soon as any touch control onthe control panel is pressed. This display isnormal and, if needed, serves as an indicationto the after-sales service staff. In all cases, theuser of the hob should disregard it. HOOK-UP

Tip To check the suitability of your cook-ware:Place the vessel on a cooking zone atpower level 4.If the display remains on, your cookware iscompatible.If the display flashes, your cookware cannotbe used with induction cooking.You can also use a magnet to test the cook-ware.If a magnet "sticks" to the bottom of thecookware, it is compatible with induction. •

WHICH COOKING ZONE SHOULD YOU USE BASED ON YOUR COOKWARE?

COOKWARE FOR INDUCTION •• The induction principle The principle of induction is based on amagnetic phenomenon.When you place your cookware on a cookingzone and you turn it on, the electronic boardsin your cooking hob produce "induced" cur-rents in the bottom of the cookware and ins-tantly raise its temperature. This heat is thentransferred to the food, which is simmered orseared depending on your settings.•• Cookware Most cookware is compatible with induction.Only glass, terra cotta, aluminium without aspecial finish on the bottom, copper andsome non-magnetic stainless steels do notwork with induction cooking.We recommend that you select cookwarewith a thick, flat bottom. The heat will be dis-tributed better and cooking will be more uni-form.

USING THE "CHILD SAFETY DEVICE" Your cooking hob is equipped with a childsafety device that locks its operation after use(e.g. so the hob can be cleaned) or duringcooking (e.g. to guard your settings).For safety reasons, the "off" touch control isalways active and allows you to shut off a hea-ting 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 touchcontrols simultaneously (-++)until the symbol is dis-played.The display disappears after afew seconds.Any attempt to adjust the touch control reactiva-tes this display. ••

SAFETY DURING OPERATION

•Residual heat After intensive use, the cooking zone that youhave just used can remain hot for several min-utes. An "H"is displayed during this period.Avoid touching the hot areas during this time. •Temperature limiter Each cooking zone is equipped with a safetysensor that constantly monitors the tempera-ture of the bottom of the cookware. In theevent that an empty vessel is left on a cookingzone that is on, this sensor automaticallyadjusts the power output of the hob, therebyavoiding any risk of damage to the cookwareor 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 apiece of cookware.The display flashes and no heat is produced. Warning

Several small objects together on a

cooking zone may be detected as cook-

If the display remains on: power may be

supplied and the objects may be heated.

•Protection against overflows The hob may shut down (withthe adjacent symbol in thedisplay) automatically in anyof these three situations: - Overflow that spills onto the touch controls.- Damp towel placed over the touch controls.- Metallic object placed on the touch con-trols.Clean the hob or remove the object, thenbegin cooking again. •Auto-Stop system If you forget to turn off a cooking zone, yourhob is equipped with an "Auto-SStop ssystem" safety measure that will automatically shut offthe forgotten cooking zone after an amountof time pre-set at the factory (see the tablebelow).In the event that this safety measure is trig-gered, the powering off of the cooking zoneis indicated by an "A"displayed in the controlpanel. Simply pressing on any of the touchcontrols will cancel this display. • Power level used The cooking zone automatically shuts off after between1 and
