The manufacturer declares that this product meets all the essential requirements for low voltage electrical material set out in European directive 2014/35/EU and for electromagnetic compatibility as required by European directive 2014/30/EU. PRECAUTIONS - When the hob is in use keep all magnetizable objects away (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators and so on). - Do not use any alluminium foil or place any foodstuffs wrapped in alluminium foil directly on the hob - do not place any metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the hob surface as they will heat up. - When cooking in a non-stick pan without seasoning, do not exceed 1-2 minutes’ pre- heating time. - When cooking food that may easily stick, start at a low power output level and then slowly increase while regularly stirring. - After cooking is finished, switch off using the control provided (turn down to “0”), and do not rely on the pan sensor. - If the surface of the hob is damaged, immediately disconnect the appliance from the mains to prevent the possibility of electric shock. - Never use a steam cleaner to clean the hob. - The appliance and accessible parts may be hot during operation. - Take care to avoid touching the heating elements. - Children less than 8 years of age should be kept at a safe distance unless continuously supervised. - This appliance may be used by children aged 8 or over and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised and have received suitable instructions on safe use of the appliance and understand the dangers involved. Children must not play with the appliance. User maintenance and cleaning should not be carried out by children except under constant supervision. - Cooking with grease or oil may be dangerous and cause a fire if left unattended. NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water. Rather, disconnect the appliance and then cover the flames with a cover or sheet, for example. - The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term cooking process has to be supervised continuously. - Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in a fire. - Fire hazard: do not store elements on cooking surfaces. - Only counter top protectors designed for use with the cooking appliance and listed in the manufacturer’s instructions should be used as suitable protection for the counter top incorporated in the appliance. Use of unsuitable protectors may cause accidents. - WARNING: Accessible parts will become hot when in use. To avoid burns and scalds children should be kept away. Insert in the fixed wiring a mean for disconnection from the supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide full disconnection under overvoltage category ENIII conditions, in accordance with the wiring rules. The plug or omnipolar switch must be easily reached on the installed equipment. This appliance is not intended to be used via an external timer or a remote control system. The manufacturers decline any responsibility in the event of non-compliance with what is described above and the accident prevention norms not being respected and followed. To avoid all risk, if the power cable becomes damaged, it must only be replaced by the manufacturer, by an authorised service centre, or by a qualified electrician. The operating principle (Fig. 1) It operates thanks to electromagnetic properties and can be used with the majority of cooking pans. The electronic circuit governs the operation of the coil (inductor) which creates a magnetic field. Heat is transmitted from the pan to the food contained within. Induction cooking has the following characteristics. - Minimal dispersion (high performance) - Removing (or lifting) the pan from the hob automatically stops the cooking zone. - The electronic system permits flexibility and precision control.

See the part reserved for fitters for specific instructions. Switching the Touch Control on/off After mains voltage is applied, the touch control initialises for approxi- mately one second before it is ready for use. All displays and LEDs flash for approximately one second after resetting. Once this period is complete, all displays and LEDs switch off and the touch control is in standby mode. Press the ON/OFF (1) button to switch the touch control on for 1 second. The Sliding Control Indicator (4) flashes for all cooking zones while awaiting the selection of the required function. If any cooking zone “burns” (high temperature), indicator (7) appears with a flashing “H”. After switching the touch control on, it will remain active for 20 seconds. If neither a cooking zone nor the timer function is selected, the Touch control automatically returns to standby mode. The touch control is only turned on by pressing the power button. If the power button is pressed at the same time as other buttons, no action is taken, and the touch control remains in stand-by mode. The touch control can be switched off at any time using the power but- ton. This is even the case when the control has been locked by the child safety feature. The power button always takes priority in the switching off function. Automatic off Once switched on, the touch control automatically switches off after 20 seconds of inactivity. Switching a cooking zone on/off Place the pan on the appropriate cooking zone. If the pan is not in place, the system will not activate the corresponding zone and the following symbol is shown in the corresponding display, (7). When the Touch Control is turned on, any of the cooking zones can be activated by pressing on the corresponding slide control, (3). By press- ing and sliding the finger across the slide control, (3), it is possible to select a setting level in the range of 0 to 9. The setting level is shown in the corresponding display, (7). To switch off the cooking zone, just select setting level 0 by pressing the corresponding sliding control. If the residual heat of the cooking zone is high, the corresponding display, (7), shows an “H”. Intelligent pan detection The control automatically detects the presence / absence of a pan in every cooking zone. If a pan is detected, display (7) of the corresponding zone will constantly read “0” until the required power level is selected. If no pan is detected, display (7) will remain off and not display anything. If a pan is added / withdrawn, the control will detect it and will turn on/ off the “0” of the corresponding display (7). Cooking zones There are several possible combinations of cooking zone: Individual zone (Fig. 7-A) There are 4 square individual cooking zones (A,B,C,D) which can be used independently, by using the appropriate sliding control for each zone. Approximate diameters of the pan bases: 12-20 cm Double zone (Fig. 7-B) Two individual zones may also be used together to form a single zone controlled by only one sliding control. The possible cooking zone com- binations are A+B or C+D. This is done by simultaneously pressing the sliding control (3) of the zones to be combined. Next the symbol on in- dicator (9) of the selected zones will appear. Only the sliding control (3) and the display (7) located further on the left of the control panel willremain active. This offers a rectangular cooking zone, particularly suited to rectangular or oval-shaped pans. Approximate diameters of the pan bases: 20-25 cm Total zone (Fig. 7-C) Optionally, the 4 cooking zones located further on the left may function as a single zone (A+B+C+D), controlled by a single sliding control. Press button (5) to obtain a large square cooking zone suitable for large square or round pans. Approximate diameters of the pan bases: 30-40 cm Booster Function The Booster function can be selected by pressing the “P” at the far right of the sliding control, (3), for the required cooking zone. With this func- tion, all the cooking zones are able to receive a power supply above the nominal power (the number of zones with booster at the same time will depend on the power provided to the different zones, which must always be less than the maximum power of the hob). If the required zone is able to activate the booster function, the symbol “P” is displayed. The booster activation time is limited to 10 minutes to protect cooking utensils. After the booster has automatically switched off, the cooking zone continues to operate at setting level “9”. The booster can be reac- tivated after a few minutes. If the pan is removed from the cooking zone during boosting, the booster function remains active and the disabling time continues its countdown. Power management is based on the principle that the last modification to the setting level in the different zones has top priority. This means that the setting levels previously configured in the other zones may be automatically decreased - If the induction detects that any of the cooking zones requires a reduc- tion, the display for this zone flashes for 3 seconds to time for correction prior to modification. - If the selected zone is re-adjusted within the correction period, pow- er management analyses the power distribution again. If a reduction in power is not required the flashing stops and the original setting level remains on the corresponding display. - Should power distribution be changed again by the user, the setting level will under no circumstances automatically increase in the zones where it has been automatically reduced. Temperature Functions There are three temperature functions available that allow a given tem- perature level to be chosen for the required cooking zone. This temper- ature will remained fixed without changing over time. To activate this function, simply press the button (13) corresponding to the required cooking zone. The indicator (14) will display the symbol corresponding to the selected temperature level and display (7) will show the following symbol: There are three temperature functions available:

• Level 1: 42ºC Recommended for defrosting or melting (chocolate, for example). Press button (13) once.

• Level 2: 70ºC Recommended for heating food or keeping it hot. Press button (13) twice.

• Level 3: 94ºC Recommended for simmering. Press button (13) three times. To cancel this function, repeatedly press button (13) until the symbol on the indicator (14) disappears, or select a medium power level with the sliding control (3). Residual heat indicator This informs the user that the glass is at a dangerous temperature should the area around the cooking zone be touched. After switching off the cooking zone, the corresponding display (7) will indicate “H” until the temperature in the zone has dropped below the critical level. Automatic disconnection (operating time limit) A maximum operating time is defined for each activated cooking zone. The maximum operating time depends on the selected cooking power. When the maximum operating time has passed, the cooking zone auto- matically switches off. Each time that the cooking zone mode is activated (change in cooking power, etc.) the timer returns to the initial setting. The timer settings take priority over the operating time limits when adjusting the cooking power. Protection against unintentional activation If the Touch Control detects continued pressure on a button for more than 10 seconds: - If it is the ON/OFF button, (1), all the displays flash with the symbol shown below until the pressure is removed and any one of the buttons is pressed again. - If it is the sliding control, the control produces a continuous acoustic signal and the symbol shown below flashes on the corresponding dis- play (7). If the pressure is maintained, Touch Control switches off after a further 20 seconds. Water or food spilt on the glass in the control zone may be detected as a continuous pressure on one or more buttons. If no cooking zone is activated within 20 seconds after switching on the touch control, it will return to standby mode.

• When the control is switched on, the ON/OFF button takes priority over the other buttons, to allow the control to be switched off at any time, in the event of multiple or continuous pressure on the buttons.

• In standby mode, no effect will be caused by buttons being kept held down. In any case, to switch the electronic control back on, the control must have detected that no buttons are pressed down. Button lock (child safety feature) Activating locking button (6) in stand-by or active mode will lock the buttons and the allocated lock LED, (12), will remain lit. The activation times for the lock button should be observed in this case. The hotplate continues operating in the adjusted mode, but it is no longer possible to use any of the buttons, except the lock button or the On/Off button (1). When the buttons are locked, the On/Off button, (1) can be switched off. The allocated button lock LED, (12), goes out when the control is disa- bled. The button lock function LED is reactivated when it is switched on (in stand-by mode 20 s) until it is switched off by repeatedly pressing the lock button. The activation / deactivation of the button lock function is not possible when the unit is switched off. When the programmed tim- ers end, the corresponding timer alarms can be confirmed by pressing buttons (15) or (16) or by turning off the unit with button (1). Repeatedly activating the locking button in stand-by or active mode will unlock the buttons and the allocated lock LED, goes out. All the sensor buttons can be used again in their normal way. Automatic preheating This simplifies the cooking process as it is not necessary to supervise the whole cooking cycle. The function establishes preheating of the cooking zone at maximum power to take the zone to the system tem- perature quickly. After a certain time, the setting level returns to the programmed level. Activation of automatic preheating In the required zone, select the setting level for the cooking on the slidingcontrol (3), and hold down for 3 seconds. The symbol “A” alternates in display (7) with the selected setting level. If a higher setting level is then selected, the preheating function is main- tained, and the preheating time is adapted to the new selected setting. If, on the other hand, a lower setting level is selected, the automatic preheating function is cancelled. Sound signal (buzzer) During use, the following activities are signaled by a buzzer:

• Normal button pressing by a short sound.

• Buttons kept pressed down for more than 10 s by a continuous sound. Timer Function The timer function permits up to a maximum of 7 independent timers. That is, one timer for each individual cooking zone and one stand-alone timer (independent to the cooking zones). Stand-alone timer -If the touch control is turned on but no cooking zones are operating (all the indicators (4) are flashing), the stand-alone timer can be activated by simultaneously pressing buttons (15) and (16) until indicator (17) turns on. If, however, any of the zones is at a power level other than “0”, the stand-alone timer can be activated by simultaneously pressing buttons (15) and (16) several times until indi- cator (17) turns on. The timer display (8) shows “0.00”. Now it is possible to select the required time between 0 and 119 minutes. If no value is selected, the timer is deactivated after 5 seconds. - To select the required time, simply press the More button (16) to in- crease the time or the Less button (15) to reduce it. - After the programmed time, an intermittent sound signal is activated and the display (8) shows an flashing “0.00”. Both “0.00” and the sound signal turn off when any of buttons (15), (16) or (1) are pressed, or after 2 minutes have elapsed. - If it is active, when the Touch Control is switched off using the ON/OFF button (1), the stand-alone timer continues the countdown. Timer for the cooking zones - If at least one cooking zone is operating, the timer can be activated by pressing buttons (15) and (16) at the same time. - The timer display (8) shows “0.00” and the timer symbol (10) corre- sponding to the functioning cooking zone located further to the left turns on. At this point, you now have 5 seconds to select the time for the re- quired cooking zone with the More (16) and Less (15) buttons. During this operation, all of the sliding controls (3) for selecting the power level of the cooking zones remain active. - To change the timer assigned to a cooking zone to the timer assigned to another zone, simply press buttons (15) and (16) repeatedly at the same time until the timer symbol (10) of the required zone lights up. - At the end of the programmed time, an intermittent sound signal is ac- tivated and “0.00” flashes on the display (8), the corresponding cooking zone switches off and its display (7) shows “0” (alternating with “H” if there is any residual heat). Both “0.00” and the sound signal turn off when any of buttons (15), (16) or (1) are pressed, or after 2 minutes have elapsed. Using the timer - The required time value can be selected by using the More (16) and Less (15) buttons. - The maximum time that can be selected is 1 hour 59 min. - To deactivate the timer, the “0.00” value must be selected by pressing the Less (15) button repeatedly or by holding it down. Pans (Fig. 3) - A magnet-attracting pan may be suitable for induction cooking. - Preferably use pans indicated as being suitable for induction cooking. - Flat and thick-bottomed pans. - A pan with the same diameter as the cooking zone ensures the maxi- mum power is used. - A smaller pan reduces the power but will not lead to energy loss. In any case, we do not recommend the use of pans with a diameter of less than 10 cm. - Stainless steel pans with multi-layer or ferritic stainless-steel bases if the base indicates: for induction cooking. - If cast iron pans are used, these should preferably have an enamel bottom to avoid scratching the ceramic hob surface. - The following types of pans are not suitable: glass, ceramic, earth- enware, aluminium, copper or non-magnetic (austenitic) stainless steel. Maintenance (Fig. 4) Pieces of aluminium foil or food, fat splashes, spilt sugar or highly sug- ared foodstuffs should be removed immediately from the cooking sur- face using a spatula to avoid scratching the hob surface. Subsequently clean the surface with a suitable product and kitchen roll, rinse with wa- ter and dry with a clean cloth. Never use abrasive sponges or scourers and avoid the use of aggressive chemical detergents or stain removers. Instructions for the fitter Installation These instructions are to be used by the fitter as a guide to installation, setting and maintenance in line with current regulations and standards. The appliance must be disconnected from the mains before any work is carried out. Installation (Fig. 5) The appliance is designed for fitting into a worktop, as shown in the figure. Place the supplied sealant around the perimeter of the hob. The hob should not be installed over an oven, although if this is the case, check that: - the oven is equipped with an appropriate cooling system - there is no warm-air leakage from the oven towards the hob. - suitable air inlets are provided as shown in the figure. Electrical connection (Fig. 6) Check the following before the electrical connection is made: - the installation characteristics are in line with that indicated on the specifications plate on the base of the hob surface - the installation is fitted with an efficient earthing connection in line with current regulations and law. The earth connection is a legal requirement. Where the appliance is not supplied with a cable or plug, use suitable material for the current indicated on the specifications plate and for the operating temperature. The cable must never reach a temperature of more than 50 °C above the ambient temperature.CE PRODUIT EST CONÇU EXCLUSIVEMENT
