The touch control panel switches on, an acoustic signal sounds and the displays light up. If one of the cooking zones is hot, the characters “H” and “0” alternate on the corresponding display. To switch off, press the same button until the hob switches off. All the cooking zones are deactivated Activation and adjusting cooking zones After switching the hob on and placing the pot on the chosen cooking zone, adjust the power level using the + button. Upon activation, the display shows level 5. Each cooking zone has various power levels, adjustable with the +/- buttons, going from “1”: min. power level, to “9”: max. power level. Some cooking zones have a fast boil function (Booster), shown on the display with the letter “P”. For quick activation at max. power: with the cooking zone set to 0, touch the - button once. The cooking zone switches on directly at level 9. If one of the two + or - buttons is kept pressed, the action is repeated every half a second, without having to press repeatedly. Power limitation This hob model has a max. power limitation carried out by means of software. Therefore, to activate a cooking zone at a power higher than that allowed, the system emits an acoustic signal and automatically adjusts the power to the max. permissible. E.g. Assuming the user has set the following levels, utilising all the permissible power: If the + button is pressed to increase the power level of the diam. 145 zone, the system emits an acoustic signal and will not increase the power level. By reducing the power level of one of the other zones, the diam. 145 zone can be adjusted, increasing the power. Deactivation of cooking zones Press the “-” button of the cooking zone to be switched off, until bringing the level to “0”. The cooking zone can also be switched off by touching the “+” and “-” buttons at the same time. The cooking zone is deactivated. Switching off the hob The hob can be switched off by pressing the button . An acoustic signal sounds and the power level indicators go off, with the possible exception of the residual heat indicator “H”, which remains on if the cooking zone is hot. The hob automatically switches off if no function is selected within 10 seconds of switching on. The cooking zone switches off and, if the zone is still hot, the letter “H” appears in the circle. “H” is the residual heat indicator. The hob has such an indicator for each cooking zone; it signals which zones are still hot. When the cooking zone cools down, the display goes off.

Button Button Power indicator display Selected cooking zone indication Cooking zone positioningGB9 Clock The hob has a clock which can be used for two functions: as a timer for switching off the hotplate or as a countdown timer. Countdown timer This function allows the setting of a time period, at the end of which an acoustic signal sounds. To activate this function, proceed as follows: 1. With the touch panel on and the switch-off timer function deactivated for all the hotplates, touch one of the + or - buttons corresponding to the clock.

2. The display switches on and shows 00.

3. Touch the + or - buttons again to set the required time. After a few seconds the decimal point of the clock starts blinking to indicate that the countdown has begun. Be careful not to touch any other button different from + or - as this could stop the switch-off timer of a hotplate instead of programming the countdown timer. Several beeps sound when the countdown reaches zero. To silence the buzzer, touch either of the clock's + or - buttons. If, during clock operation as a countdown timer, the induction plates are at power level 0, the touch panel switches off after a few seconds, but th timer will continue working until completing the countdown or until cancellation of the setting. To cancel the countdown timer setting, set the remaining time to 00. Switch-off timer function This function is very handy since the individual cooking zones can be programmed to switch off automatically when the specified time has elapsed. The appliance offers the possibility of timing each cooking zone separately. The function is controlled by means of the increase/decrease + and - buttons associated with the clock. Timer for single hotplate To activate the timer for a single hotplate, proceed as follows:

1. With the hotplate on and the clock off, touch one of the + or - buttons corresponding to the clock.

2. The display switches on and shows 00. At the same time, a blinking appears for each of the activated hotplates.

3. Within the next 5 seconds, touch one of the + or - buttons corresponding to the hotplate for which the timer is to be activated. The is set on the display of that hotplate and the digits on the clock display start blinking. 4. Within the next 2 seconds, select the required time by means of the clock's + or - buttons. After a few seconds the digits stop blinking on the clock display. The decimal point of the clock and the timed hotplate start blinking to indicate that the countdown has begun. After setting the required time, make sure not to activate other buttons, as this could cancel the timer function. When the digits of the clock blink, the value can be modified using only the + or - buttons without touching other buttons. At the end of the countdown, the timed hotplate switches off and several beeps sound. To silence them, touch either of the + and - buttons associated with the clock. Setting the timer for more than one hotplate / Modifying the programmed time During the countdown it is possible to modify the remaining time or set the timer for another hotplate.

1. With the touch panel activated and a hotplate timed, touch one of the + and - buttons corresponding to the clock.

2. The countdown stops and 00 appears on the display. A blinking appears on the display of each activated hotplate.

3. It is now possible to time another hotplate or modify the remaining time of a previously timed hotplate. To identify them, observe the decimal point appearing at the bottom right on the display, which appears only if the hotplate is timed. Within the next 5 seconds, touch one of + or - buttons corresponding to the hotplate for which timer activation or modification is required. The stops blinking on the display of that hotplate and all the digits on the clock display start blinking. 4. Touch the + or - buttons again to set the required time. After a few seconds the decimal point starts blinking on the display, to confirm that the countdown has begun. To cancel an already set time, set the required time in step 4 to 00, or switch off the corresponding hotplate. When more than one hotplate is timed, by default setting the time display blinks. The time corresponds to the hotplate on whose display the decimal point is blinking. The decimal point on a powered display indicates that the hotplate is timed. If the decimal point blinks concurrently with a on the hotplate display, it means the countdown time remaining for that specific hotplate is shown on the clock display (at that precise moment). Remember, the countdown is cancelled if the touch panel is deactivated with the on/off sensor button during the countdown. Control panel lock This function locks the hob controls to prevent accidental switching on (e.g. during cleaning operations). Press the button for three seconds: a beep sounds and an indicator lights up above the padlock button to signal activation. The control panel is locked except for the deactivation function. To deactivate the control lock, repeat the activation procedure. The luminous dot goes off and the hob is active again. In case of hob deactivation with the control panel lock activated (luminous dot above the padlock button lit) the hob can be switched on again only after deactivating the control lock function. IMPORTANT: The presence of water, liquid spilled from pots or any kind of objects resting on the button under the symbol can accidentally activate or deactivate the control panel lock function. Melting function The melting function maintains a low and even temperature in the cooking zone. After placing the pot/accessory on the chosen zone, switch the hob on and select the required cooking zone, setting power level 1. Press the - button; the indicator will show the symbol . Just press the - button to deactivate the function.GB10 Max. operation time If the user forgets to switch the hob off, it switches off automatically after a given period of time from when the last hotplate was switched on. See the following table. When this occurs, if the glass is hot enough, the residual heat indicator “H” appears on the corresponding zone power display. IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads. Their use could eventually ruin the glass.

• After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits and stains due to food residuals.

• Sugar or foods with a high sugar content damage the hob and must be immediately removed.

• Salt, sugar and sand could scratch the glass surface.

• Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a specific hob cleaner (follow the Manufacturer's instructions).

• Read and follow the instructions given in the section “Instructions for use”.

• Make sure there is not a power outage.

• Dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning it.

• If the hob cannot be switched off after using it, disconnect it from the power supply. Before contacting the After-sales Service:

1. See if you can solve the problem yourself with the help of the “Troubleshooting guide”.

2. Switch the appliance off and then on again it to see if the problem has been eliminated.
