ACCESSORIES

POTS AND PANS

Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic material which are suitable for use with induction hobs. To determine whether a pot is suitable, check for the symbol (usually stamped on the bottom). A magnet may be used to check whether pots are magnetic. The quality and

the structure of the pot base can alter cooking performance. Some indications for the diameter of the base do not correspond to the actual diameter of the ferromagnetic surface.

EMPTY POTS OR POTS WITH A THIN BASE

Do not use empty pots or pans when the hob is on.

The hob is equipped with an internal safety system that constantly monitors the temperature, activating the "automatic off" function where high temperatures are detected. When used with empty pots or pots with thin bases, the temperature may rise very quickly, and the "automatic off" function may be triggered with a slight delay, damaging the pot or pan. If this occurs, do not touch anything, and wait for all

FIRST TIME USE

The hob settings can be changed at any time. To change the settings, click on the Ⓞ symbol that appears on the manage functions display.

From the settings menu, you can:

• select the language;
• adjust the brightness;
• adjust the volume of the sound alerts;
• adjust the button tones;
• adjust the power of the hob;

components to cool down.

If any error messages appear, call the service centre.

MINIMUM DIAMETER OF POT/PAN BASE FOR THE DIFFERENT COOKING AREAS

To ensure that the hob functions properly, the pot must cover one or more of the reference points indicated on the surface of the hob, and must be of a suitable minimum diameter.

120 220 240 100

- restore the factory settings of the hob;

- check the software version installed.

If a power failure occurs, the settings are maintained.

ADJUSTING THE POWER OF THE HOB

The maximum power level of the hob can be set from the settings menu, in accordance with requirements, or with the timer duration.

The power levels available are: 4,0kW - 6,0kW - 7,4kW - 11,0kW.

To divide a flexible area:

Press and hold the pane corresponding to the zone that you want to separate for 3 seconds. Alternatively, press the "divide zone" button that appears in the manage functions display.

When the cooking zone is divided, the same level of power is set for each of the separate zones.

MAIN COOKING METHODS

(Each method may include additional options)

MELTING

To bring food to the ideal temperature for melting and to maintain the condition of the food without risk of burning.

This method does not damage delicate foods such as chocolate, and prevents them from sticking to the pot.

The rate of cooking can be adjusted at any time using the "+" and "-" buttons on the right-hand display.

SIMMERING

For slow-cook dishes and for slowly evaporating liquid, maintaining the condition of the food without risk of burning. This method does not damage food, and prevents it from sticking to the pot.

The quality and type of pot can affect performance or cooking times.

The rate of cooking can be adjusted at any time using the "+" and "-" buttons on the right-hand display.

BOILING\*

To efficiently heat water and alert the user when it begins to boil, via an audible and visual signal.

While awaiting confirmation from the user, the system keeps the water at a controlled simmer, preventing spills and wasted energy. Whilst this function is active, an audible alarm warns the user if the pot is empty (no water) or if it has boiled dry.

Only add salt after the boiling alert has sounded.

PAN FRYING\*

To preheat or season an empty pot or pan. An audible and visual signal indicates that the ideal temperature has been reached for food to be added to the pot or pan. While awaiting confirmation from the user, the system keeps the accessory at a controlled heat, preventing the pan from reaching damaging temperatures and avoiding energy wastage.

For optimum conditions, use this function with pots and seasoning at room temperature.

Dedicated accessories must be used for this function.

Do not use the lid - to protect against splashes, a splash guard is recommended. It is advisable to use oils that are suitable for frying when cooking with this function, such as seed oils of various types. When using different oils, always take extra care to supervise cooking during first use.

GRILLING\*

This function allows for optimum grilling of a range of foods, according to their thickness. When the ideal temperature has been reached for food to be added, the hob beeps. The hob then stabilises the temperature throughout cooking, keeping it constant. Once the user has confirmed that food has been added, cooking begins.

It is advisable to prepare the food during the heating stage, adding it as soon as you hear the beep.

For optimum conditions, use this function with pots and seasoning at room temperature.

If you are not using the wire rack designed for this purpose, take extra care when first using the grill function, as the quality of the base may affect heating times. Accessories with very thin bases can reach very high temperatures in a short time.

MOKA\*

This function allows "moka" stove-top coffee makers to be heated automatically. The heating cycle can be activated by selecting the function in the menu, and a beep will sound when the coffee is ready. The function is programmed to switch off automatically, preventing spills. When using for the first time, always check that the conditions described are met. For optimum conditions, use this function with the coffee maker and water at room temperature.

\* For these functions, the use of dedicated accessories is recommended:

• for boiling: WMF SKU: 07.7524.6380
• for pan frying: WMF SKU: 05.7528.4021
• for grilling: WMF SKU: 05.7650.4291
