4 Use of the appliance

4.1 Before the first use

Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.

4.2 Induction principle

An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.

Of course the pan has to be adapted:

• All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it thanks a little magnet): cast iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms...
• Are excluded: cupper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware,...

The induction heating zone adapts automatically the size of the pan. With a too small diameter the pan doesn't work. This diameter is varying in function of the heating zone diameter.

If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [U].

4.3 Sensitive touch

Your ceramic hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a "beep" sound.

In the case of a general use press only one key at the same time.

4.3.1 Power selection zone "SLIDER" and timer setting zone

To select the power with the slider, slide your finger on the "SLIDER" zone. You can already have a direct access if you put your finger directly on the chosen level.

If no action is made within 20 second the electronics returns in waiting position.

4.5 Pandetection

The pan detection ensures a perfect safety. The induction doesn't work:

• If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not adapted to the induction. In this case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [U]. This symbol disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone.
• If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows [U]. The symbol [U] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The cooking continues with the power level set before.

After use, switch the heat element off: don't let the pan detection [U] active.

4.6 Residual heat indication

After the switch off of a heating zone or the complete stop of the hob, the heating zones are still hot and indicates [H] on the display.

The symbol [H] disappears when the heating zones may be touched without danger.

As far as the residual heat indicators are on light, don't touch the heating zones and don't put any heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.
