Cooking zone description

Induction zones

Induction is the fastest cooking method available.

Unlike traditional cooking zones, the induction zone does not heat up the glass surface. The pan itself is the heating element: the pan evenly transfers heat to its contents as long as it is made of ferromagnetic material.

Radiant zones

This type of burner consists of several coils that guarantee the even distribution of heat over the bottom of the pan and ensure the success of all cooking on low heat: simmering, sauces or reheating.

Each zone is controlled:

• by a selector key whose silk screen printing reproduces the cooking zone drawing,
• and by a power adjustment set comprising two parts (+, -) .

As long as the temperature of the cooking zones remains above 60^ C, even after use, the residual heat indicators stay on (the power display indicates H) to prevent the risk of burns.

• press the programming key 🕒,
• set the desired cooking time using the “ ④ ” and “ ” keys,
• confirm your programming by pressing the programming key 🤕 again.

The countdown begins immediately.

The end of programmed cooking is signalled by a beep (one minute long) and the cooking zone concerned is turned off.

The safety devices

Pan recognition

(only for inductions zones)

Each induction cooking zone is fitted with a pan recognition device. The cooking zone only provides heat in the presence of a pan which is suitable for the cooking zone.

A blinking pan recognition indicator could signal:

• that the pan is made of unsuitable material, which is not ferromagnetic,
  • that the diameter of the pan is too small,
  • that the pan has been removed.

Always match the diameter of the pan with that of the cooking zones.

What cookware to use

Given that induction only exists when the magnetic field is sealed by a metallic recipient, the pan stops being heated as soon as it is taken off the cooking zone.

Use cookware made of material which is compatible with induction (ferromagnetic material).

Cast iron, enamelled steel or special induction stainless steel saucepans are ideal.

Copper, ceramic, earthenware, glass, terracotta, aluminium and non magnetic stainless steel cookware is incompatible with induction cooking.

The easiest way to find out whether the pan is suitable is with a magnet. If the magnet is attracted by the pan bottom and stays “stuck” to the same, the pan is made of ferromagnetic material and can be used on your induction hob.

We recommend you use pans with a very flat and thick bottom and avoid at all costs all cookware with irregular rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.

SUITABLE * Cast iron Enamelled steel Special stainless steel

UNSUITABLE Copper, Aluminium, Glass, Earthenware, Ceramic, non magnetic Stainless steel

For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other active implants:

The hob complies with all current standards on electromagnetic interference.

Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping with legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It is designed not to create interference on any other electrical apparatus being used on condition that the apparatus in question also complies with this legislation.

Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic fields. To avoid any interference between your induction hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply with relevant regulations.

In this respect, we can only guarantee our own product conformity. Please consult the pacemaker manufacturer or your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible incompatibility.

Acoustic signal

Anomalies such as:

• an object (such as a saucepan or a lid, etc.) placed for more than 10 seconds on the control zone,
• boiled-over liquids or food spilled on the control zone,
  • prolonged pressure on a key,...

could cause a beep to sound and the hob to turn off.

To stop the beep from sounding, remove the cause of the malfunction.

To use the hob, turn it back on and re-select the cooking zone(s) you wish to use. Set the desired heating power.

Safety cut out

Your appliance is fitted with a safety cut out which intervenes after a certain amount of time (see table below) depending on the power setting. When the safety cut out has intervened, the power display indicates "0".

for example: the back right cooking zone is set to 5 and the front left zone is set to 2. The back right zone will turn off after 3 hours of operation and the front left zone will turn off after 10 hours of operation.

To unlock the controls, turn the hob off by pressing the

key.

Overheating protection device

Should your appliance's electronic components overheat, the hob will turn off automatically and “—” will come up on the power level display.

The letter will disappear as soon as the temperature drops back down to an acceptable level.

Maintenance and care

Advice on using your appliance

To get the best from your hob, it is vital that you follow a few fundamental rules during cooking and when preparing food.

- Use pans with a flat bottom so they adhere fully to the heating zone.

• Always use pans whose diameter covers the cooking zone fully so that all the available heat can be used.

• Make sure the pan base is always clean and dry, to guarantee good contact and long life for the cooking zones and pans alike.
• Avoid using pans used normally on gas burners. The concentration of heat on gas burners can warp the bottom of the pan, consequently you would never obtain the desired result when using the pan on the glass ceramic hob.
• Never leave a cooking zone on without a pan on it as the maximum heat level would be reached very quickly, which could damage the heating elements.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a shock caused by a sharp object. In this case, unplug the appliance immediately and contact an authorised after-sales service centre to have it repaired.

Always keep your hob clean. Before proceeding with maintenance operations, check that all the cooking zones are turned off and have cooled down completely.

Stainless steel frame

Stainless steel can stain as an effect of enduring contact with limescale in water or as an effect of highly aggressive detergents (containing phosphorus). We recommend you rinse and dry it thoroughly after maintenance. It is preferable to remove any water spills immediately.

Hob care

The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is smooth and poreless and it is also resistant to thermal shocks and to mechanical shocks under normal conditions of use. In order to preserve these properties, we recommend you care for your hob as follows:

• for ordinary maintenance, just wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper towels.
• If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry thoroughly.
• food residue and dirt can be removed using a special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait for the hob to cool down in order to avoid incrustations. For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic glass cleaning soaked in soapy water.
• When the hob is clean, you can apply a special product for the care and protection of the same: this type of product leaves an invisible film on the surface of the hob to protect the same against any spills and boiled-over food. It is best if you do this when the hob is lukewarm or cold.
• Make sure you always rinse the hob with clean water and dry it thoroughly: otherwise the cleaning products could become encrusted onto the hob during subsequent cooking.

Recommendations

• Never use abrasive or corrosive substances, such as aerosol cleaners for grills and ovens, stain removers or rust removers, scouring powders and abrasive sponges: even the delicate ones could scratch the hob surface irreversibly.
• We recommend you keep all items which could melt away from the hob, such as plastic utensils, sugar or products with a high sugar content. Should liquid boil over onto the hob surface, remove it immediately (while the hob is still hot) using a razor blade scraper, in order to avoid damaging the surface.
• Use this hob exclusively for cooking. Do not place items on the hob when the same is not in use. Do not use the hob as a work surface (by placing lids, sauce-pans or dishcloths on it, for example), nor as a chopping board.
• Never leave aluminium wrappers, aluminium foil and plastic cookware on the hob when hot or still warm.
• Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners to clean your appliance.
• Do not place metal items on the hob (such as knives, spoons, lids, etc.).
• Never heat up unopened tins: they could burst.

The guarantee does not cover damage to the hob caused by incorrect use.
