These precautions will reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury to persons. When using kitchen appliances, basic safety precautions must be followed, including those in the following pages.

Examine the appliance after unpacking it. In the event of transport damage, do not plug it in.

Fire Safety

Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic, paper or cloth to come in contact with a hot surface element, burner or grate. Do not allow pans to boil dry.

If the cooktop is near a window, forced air vent or fan, be certain that flammable materials such as window coverings do not blow over or near the burners or elements. They could catch on fire.

Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE:

a) Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings.
b) Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
c) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
d) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the surface element.

In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.

Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the appliance.

Smother flames from food fires other than grease fires with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.

WARNING

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - You may be burned.
c) DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result.
d) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

• You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off.

Cooking Safety

WARNING

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

When using the timer, always supervise the cooktop and do not allow anything to boil over or burn. Boilovers can cause smoke and some foods and oils may catch fire if left on high temperature settings.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

If the frying sensor is not working properly, overheating may result causing smoke and damage to the pan.

WHEN COOKING WITH THE FRYING SENSOR OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

Use a system pan only
Always put the pan in the centre of the heating element
- Do not place a lid on the pan
- Never leave frying fat unattended

Never use the appliance if liquids or foods have spilled around the control panel. Always turn off the cooktop and dry the control panel.

Injury and damage to the appliance may occur if control elements are not used properly.

If the cooktop turns off automatically and can no longer be operated, it may turn itself on unintentionally at a later point. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

Burn Prevention

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambeing food (i.e. Crépes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe).

Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.

Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.

Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.

WARNING

Risk of burns

Metallic objects become hot very quickly on the cooktop. Never set down metallic objects, such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cooktop.

WARNING

Risk of burns

The pan detection may potentially fail to turn off the cooking zone due to spilled food or objects placed upon the cooktop. After each use, turn off the cooktop using the main switch.

If the display does not work when a cooking area is heating up, disconnect the circuit breaker from the fuse box. Contact an authorized servicer.

Child Safety

When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.

Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

WARNING

Danger of injury

Cookware may jump upward due to fluid trapped between the cookware bottom and cooking zone. Always keep cooking zone and cookware bottom dry.

Cleaning Safety

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet clothes and sponges can cause burns from steam.

Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance.

Cookware Safety

Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food. This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.

Use Proper Pan Size.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the heating element or burner to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating unit. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Proper relationship of cookware to heating element or burner will also improve efficiency.

Cookware not approved for use with ceramic cooktops may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only pans that are appropriate for ceramic cooktops.

Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of the cooktop. This reduces the risk of fires, spills and burns.

WARNING

RISK of injury

When cooking with a bain-marie, the cooktop and cooking vessel may crack due to overheating. The cooking vessel in the bain-marie must not come in direct contact with the bottom of the pot filled with water. Use only heat-resistant cookware.

Proper Installation and Maintenance

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. Refer to Installation Instructions for details.

This appliance is intended for normal family household use only. It is not approved for outdoor use. See the Warranty. If you have any questions, contact the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Electromagnetic interference

WARNING

This induction cooktop generates and uses ISM frequency energy that heats cookware by using an electromagnetic field. It has been tested and complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules for ISM equipment. This induction cooktop meets the FCC requirements to minimize interference with other devices in residential installation. Induction cooktops may cause interference with television or radio reception. If interference occurs, the user should try to correct the interference by:

• Relocating the receiving antenna of the radio or television.
• Increasing the distance between the cooktop and the receiver.
• Connecting the receiver into an outlet different than the receiver.

It is the user's responsibility to correct any interference.

CAUTION

Persons with a pacemaker or similar medical device should exercise caution when standing near an induction cooktop while it is in use. Consult your doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker or similar medical device for additional information about its effects with electromagnetic fields from an induction cooktop.

Cooling fan

The cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan on its underside. Should the cooktop lie above a drawer, there must be no objects or paper in it. They may be sucked in and compromise the cooling of the appliance or damage the fan.

There must be a minimum distance of 34 (20mm) between the content of the drawer and the fan input.

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings

WARNING

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Causes of damage

• Scratches on glass ceramic surface: Cookware with rough bottoms will scratch the glass ceramic surface.
  Salt, sugar and sand: Salt, sugar or grains of sand will scratch the glass ceramic surface. Never use the cooktop as a working surface or for setting things down.
  Overheated cookware: Avoid heating pots or pans that are empty.
  Hot cookware: Never set down hot pans and pots on the control panel or frame. This may cause damage.
• Hard and sharp objects: Hard or sharp objects falling on the cooktop may damage it.
  Boiled-over food: Sugar and products containing sugar may damage the cooktop. Immediately eliminate spills of these products with a glass scraper.
• Foils and plastics: Aluminum foil and plastic will melt on the hot cooking zones. Stove protective film isn't suitable for your cooktop.
• Unsuitable cleaning agent: Shimmering metallic discolorations on the glass ceramic surface result from the use of inappropriate cleaning agents and abrasion from cookware.

Protecting the environment

Energy-saving advice

Always place a fitting lid on cookware. Cooking with an uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in energy use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan bases increase energy consumption.
The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the element. If not, energy may be wasted. Note: The manufacturer normally indicates the pan's upper diameter. This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan's base.
- Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a lot of energy.
Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves energy, and vegetables retain a larger percentage of their vitamins and minerals.
- Select a lower power level.

Cooking by induction

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking represents a radical change from the traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages:

• Greater speed in cooking and frying; as the pan is heated directly.
  Energy is saved.
• Greater convenience in care and cleaning. Foods that have spilled on the cooktop surface do not burn as quickly.
• Heat and safety control; the cooktop supplies or cuts off power immediately when the controls are set. The induction cooktop stops supplying heat if the pan is removed without turning off the power first.

Proper cookware

Ferromagnetic pans

Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking, these can be made from:

enamelled steel
cast iron
- special stainless steel utensils for induction cooking

Check that the bases of your pans are attracted by a magnet to find out if they are suitable.

Other suitable cookware for induction

There are other types of cookware with a base not entirely ferromagnetic that are made for induction cooking use.

When using large cookware on a smaller ferromagnetic element, only the ferromagnetic element heats up, so heat might not be uniformly distributed.

Cookware with aluminum on the base reduce the ferromagnetic zone, so less heat may be supplied or problems with detection might occur.

For good cooking results, the diameter of the cookware's ferromagnetic area should match the size of the element. If cookware is not detected on an element, try it on the next smaller element.

Unsuitable pans

Never use pans made of:

thin normal steel
glass
clay
copper
aluminum

Characteristics of the pan base

The characteristics of the pan base can influence the evenness of the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute heat uniformly, saving time and energy.

No pan or improper size

If no pan is placed on the selected element, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the element indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the element to stop the flashing. If you take longer than 90 seconds to place a suitable pan on the element, it will automatically turn off.

Empty pans or pans with a thin base

Do not heat up empty pans, or use pans with a thin base. The cooktop is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The pan base could melt and damage the cooktop glass. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the cooktop off. If the cooktop fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the technical service.

Pan detection

Each element has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan you are using. You should therefore use the element that best matches the diameter of your pan.

Automatic detection on double or triple cooking elements

These elements can detect different pan sizes. Depending on the material and properties of the pan, the element will adapt automatically, and will turn on single zone or the entire element, supplying the proper power to obtain good cooking results.

Getting familiar with the appliance

These instructions apply to more than one cooktop, your appliance might vary slightly.

Use only cookware suitable for induction cooking; see the section on suitable cookware.

Residual heat indicator

The cooktop has a residual heat indicator in each cooking element, to indicate which elements are still hot. You should avoid touching the cooking element that shows this indication.

Even though the cooktop may be switched off, the indicator will be turning and will stay lit while the cooking element is hot.

When the pan is removed before turning off the cooking element, the indicator and the selected heat setting will appear alternating.

Twistpad with removable knob

The Twistpad is the programming zone in which the knob can be used to select the elements and power level.

The knob is automatically centered in the Twistpad area.

The knob is magnetic and is placed over the Twistpad. When the knob is rotated, the corresponding element is switched on. The heat settings are selected by turning the knob.

Removing the knob

The knob can be removed to facilitate cleaning.

The knob can also be removed while the cooking element is on. All the cooking elements turn off after 3 seconds.

CAUTION

If a metallic object is placed on the rotary panel during these 3 seconds, the cooktop may continue heating. Therefore, always turn off the cooktop using the main power switch.

Taking care of the magnetic knob

The knob has a powerful magnet inside. Do not place the knob near magnetic media which contain data such as video tapes, disks, credit cards and cards with magnetic strips. They could be damaged. Additionally, it could cause interference on monitors and television sets.

CAUTION

Electronic implants, such as pacemakers and insulin pumps are likely to be affected by the magnetic fields. Never put the knob in your pocket. It should be kept at least 10 cm away from a pacemaker.

Note: The knob is magnetic. Metal particles sticking to the lower part could scratch the cooktop's surface. Always clean the control knob thoroughly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

Note: Recommended cleaners indicate a type of cleaner and do not constitute an endorsement of a specific brand.

Glass ceramic cooktop

CAUTION

Do not use any kind of cleaner on the glass while the surface is hot, use only the razor blade scraper. The resulting fumes can be hazardous to your health. Heating the cleaner can chemically attack and damage the surface.

Clean the surface when it is completely cool with the following exception: remove dry sugar, sugar syrup, tomato products and milk immediately with the razor blade scraper (see special care chart).

Wipe off spatters with a clean, damp sponge or a paper towel. Rinse and dry. Use white vinegar if smudge remains; rinse.

Apply a small amount of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. When dry, buff surface with a clean paper towel or cloth.

Stainless steel side trim

Wipe with the grain when cleaning. For moderate/ heavy soil, use BonAmi® or Soft Scrub® (no bleach).

Wipe using a damp sponge or cloth, rinse and dry.

Knob

Remove knob from the cooktop. Wipe with warm soapy cloth, rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive products or scrub. Do not place the knob in the dishwasher or in dishwater. Otherwise it might get damaged.

Cleaning guidelines

When using a cleaner, use only a small amount; apply to a clean paper towel or cloth. Wipe on the surface and buff with a clean dry towel.

For best results, use cleaners such as glass ceramic cooktop cleaner, BonAmi®, Soft Scrub® (without bleach), and white vinegar.

Avoid these cleaners

Glass cleaners which contain ammonia or chlorine bleach. These ingredients may damage or permanently stain the cooktop.
- Caustic cleaners - cleaners such as Easy Off® may stain the cooktop surface.
- Abrasive cleaners.
Metal scouring pads and scrub sponges such as Scotch Brite® can scratch and/or leave metal marks.
- Soap-filled scouring pads such as SOS® can scratch the surface.
Powdery cleaners containing chlorine bleach can permanently stain the cooktop.
- Flammable cleaners such as lighter fluid or WD-40.

Cleaning charts

Type of Soil Possible Solution

Hot cooking liquids dripped on surface
Surface scratches:

Dry sugar, sugar syrup, milk or tomato spills. Melted plastic film or foil. All these items REQUIRE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL. Failure to remove these immediately can permanently damage the surface.

Remove these types of spills while the surface is hot using the razor blade scraper. Use a new, sharp razor in the scraper. Remove pan and turn off the element. Wearing an oven mitt, hold scraper at 30^ angle, using care not to gouge or scratch the glass. Push soil off the heated area. After the surface has cooled, remove the residue and apply the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.

WARNING

Risk of injury

The blade is extremely sharp. Risk of cuts. Protect the blade when not in use. Replace the blade immediately when any imperfections are found. Follow manufacturer's instructions.

Burned-on food soil, dark streaks, and specks

Soften by laying a damp paper towel or sponge on top of soil for 30 minutes. Use a plastic scrubber and glass ceramic cooktop cleaner or use the razor blade scraper. Rinse and dry.

Greasy spatters Use a soapy sponge or cloth to remove grease; rinse thoroughly

and dry. Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Metal marks: Iridescent stain

Pans with aluminum, copper or stainless steel bases may leave marks. Treat immediately after surface has cooled with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. If this does not remove the marks, try a mild abrasive (Bon Ami®, Soft Scrub® without bleach) with a damp paper towel. Rinse and reapply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Failure to remove metal marks before the next heating makes removal very difficult.

Hard water spots:

Minerals in some water can be transferred onto the surface and cause stains. Use undiluted white vinegar, rinse and dry. Recondition with glass ceramic cooktop cleaner. Remove boilovers and stains before using the cooktop again.

Small scratches are common and do not affect cooking. They become smoother and less noticeable with daily use of the glass ceramic cooktop cleaner.

Apply glass ceramic cooktop cleaner before using to remove sand-like grains and grit such as salt and seasoning. Scratches can be reduced by using pans with bases that are smooth, clean, and dry before use. Use recommended glass ceramic cooktop cleaner daily.

NOTICE: Diamond rings may scratch the surface.

Maintenance

This appliance requires no maintenance other than daily cleaning. For best results, apply cooktop cleaning cream daily.

Notes

Glass ceramic may have uneven areas on the surface due to the nature of the material itself. Because of the mirror-like finish on the cooking surface, even extremely small bubbles less than 1 mm in diameter may be visible. These bubbles will not have any adverse effect on the operation of the cooktop nor on the durability of the glass ceramic cooking surface.
Depending on the countertop that is present in the kitchen, an uneven gap between the cooktop unit and the countertop can occur. For this reason, a flexible seal is provided around the entire cooktop unit.

Normal operating noises of the cooktop

Induction technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields. They may generate heat directly on the bottom of the cookware. Pots and pans may cause a variety of noises or vibrations depending on the way they've been manufactured. These noises are described as follows:

Low humming (like a transformer)

This noise is produced when cooking at a high heat level. It is based on the amount of energy transferred from the cooktop to the cookware. The noise ceases or quiets down when the heat level is reduced.

Quiet whistling

This noise is produced when the cooking vessel is empty. It ceases once water or food is placed in the vessel.

Crackling

This noise occurs with cookware comprised of various materials layered one upon the other. It's caused by the vibrations of the surfaces where different materials meet. The noise occurs on the cookware and can vary depending on the amount and method of preparation of the food.

Loud whistling

This noise occurs with cookware comprised of different materials layered one upon the other, and when they are additionally used at maximum output and also on two cooking zones. The noise ceases or quiets down when the heat level is reduced.

Fan noises

For proper operation of the electronic system, it is necessary to regulate the temperature of the cooktop. For this purpose, the cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan, which is activated to reduce and regulate the temperature of the electronic system. The fan may also continue to run after the appliance is turned off if the detected temperature of the cooktop is still too hot after turning it off.

The noises described are a normal element of the described induction technology and shouldn't be regarded as defects.
