POWER MANAGEMENT At the time of purchase, the hob is set to the maximum possible power. Adjust the setting concerning the limits of your home's electrical system as described in the following paragraph. N.B: Depending on the power selected for the hob, some of the cooking zone power levels and functions (e.g. boil or fast heating) could be automatically limited to prevent the selected limit from being exceeded. To set the power of the hob: Once you have connected the device to the mains power supply, you can set the power level within 60seconds. Press the “+“ button for at least 3seconds. The display shows “PL“. Press the button to conrm. Use the “+“ and “−“ buttons to select the desired power level. The power levels available are: 2.5 kW – 4.0 kW – 6.0 kW – 7.2 kW. Conrm by pressing

The power level selected will stay in the memory even if the power supply is interrupted. To change the power level, disconnect the appliance from the mains for at least 60 seconds, plug it back in, and repeat the above steps. If an error occurs during the setting sequence, the “EE“ symbol will appear, and you will hear a beep. If this happens, repeat the operation. If the error persists, contact the After-Sales Service.

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL ON/OFF

To switch the acoustic signal on/o:

• Connect the hob to the power supply;

• Wait for the switch-on sequence;

• Within 60seconds, press the buttons “+“ and simultaneously for at least 5seconds. DEMO MODE reheating deactivated, see the section on ”Troubleshooting”) To switch the demo mode on and o:

• Connect the hob to the power supply;

• Wait for the switch-on sequence.

• Within 60seconds, press the cooking zone selection buttons in the top left and top right simultaneously for at least 3seconds (as shown below);

• “DE“ will show on the display. 3 sec. ACCESSORIES Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic material suitable for induction hobs. Check for the symbol (generally stamped on the bottom) to determine whether a pot is suitable. A magnet may also be used to check whether the cookware base is magnetic.

COOKWARE MATERIAL PROPERTIES

Recommended cookware Base is made of stainless steel with sandwich design, enamelled steel, cast iron. Ensures optimum efficiency, heats up quickly, and distributes heat evenly. Suitable cookware Base is not fully ferromagnetic (magnet sticks only in a portion of the cookware base). Only the ferromagnetic area heats up. As a result, may heat up less quickly and heat may be distributed less evenly. Suitable cookware Ferromagnetic base contains areas with aluminium or has a recessed area in the centre. The ferromagnetic area is smaller than the actual cookware base area. As a result, less power may be delivered and cookware may not heat suciently. Cookware may not be detected. Not suitable Normal thin steel, glass, clay, copper, aluminium and other non-ferromagnetic materials, cookware with rubber feet Cookware is not detected and will not heat up. NOTE: All cookware must have a at base. Periodically check the base for any sign of warping, as some cookware may undergo deformation due to high heat. ADAPTERS FOR POTS/PANS UNSUITABLE FOR INDUCTION The use of adapter plates aects eciency and therefore increases the time required to heat water or food. Make sure that the ferromagnetic diameter of the cookware base aligns with both the diameter of the adapter plate and the diameter of the cooking zone. If these measurements don't match, it can signicantly decrease eciency and performance. Not following these guidelines could lead to heat build up that is not eectively transferred to the pot or pan, potentially causing blackening of the plate and hob.

The hob is equipped with an internal safety system that activates the “Automatic o” function when too high temperature is detected. The use of empty pots and pans with a thin base is not recommended. However, when doing so, the temperature might rise quicker than the time needed for the “Automatic o” to be triggered promptly, with the risk of damaging the pan or the hob surface. If this occurs, do not touch the pan nor the hob surface and wait for all components to cool down. If any error message is displayed, call the Service Centre. SUITABLE SIZE OF PAN/POT BASE FOR THE DIFFERENT COOKING ZONES To ensure that the hob works properly, use pots of a suitable base diameter for each zone (refer to the table below). Please note that cookware manufacturers often provide the size of the upper diameter of the cookware, rather than the base diameter. To ensure that the hob works with the expected performance, always use a cooking zone with a size matching the ferromagnetic size of the cookware base. Place the pan/pot making sure it is well centred on the cooking zone in use. It is recommended not to use pots larger than the size of the cooking zone.

Pancakes Test according to EN 50304/EN60350 § 7.3 Boiling Test according to EN 50304/EN60350 § 7.1DAILY USE

SWITCHING THE HOB ON/OFF

To turn the hob on, press the power button for around 1 second. To turn the hob o, press the same button again, and all cooking zones will be deactivated. POSITIONING Locate the desired cooking zone by referring to the position symbols. Do not cover the control panel symbols with the cooking pot. Please note: In the cooking zones close to the control panel, it is advisable to keep pots and pans inside the markings (taking both the bottom of the pan and the upper edge into consideration, as this tends to be larger). This prevents excessive overheating of the keypad. When grilling or frying, please use the rear cooking zones wherever possible.

ACTIVATING/DEACTIVATING COOKING ZONES AND ADJUSTING

POWER LEVELS To activate the cooking zones: Select the pre-selected cooking zone by pressing the corresponding zone selection button. The display will show level “0“. Each cooking zone has dierent power levels that can be adjusted using the “+“/“−“ buttons, from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 9. Some cooking zones have a fast heating function (Booster), shown on the display with the letter “P“. Power indicator display Selected cooking zone indicator To deactivate the cooking zones: Select the cooking zone to be switched o by pressing the corresponding zone selection button (a dot will light up on the display, to the power level indicator's bottom right). Press the “−“ to set the level to “0“. To switch o immediately, press and hold the zone selection button for 3seconds. The cooking zone is deactivated and the residual heat indicator “H“ appears on the display.

Sense/Key lock button for 3seconds. A beep and a warning light above the symbol indicate that this function has been activated. The control panel is locked except for the switching o function ( ). To unlock the controls, repeat the activation procedure. TIMER The timer enables a cooking time to be set for all of the zones. To activate the timer: Select and activate the cooking zone for which you wish to set the timer. Press the button with the clock icon and set the desired time, using the “+“ and “−“ buttons. The timer LED for the zone in use will be illuminated. A few seconds after the last touch, the timer will start the countdown and the dot on the display that indicates that the seconds are passing will ash. When the set time is up, an acoustic signal will sound and the cooking zone will switch o automatically. After selecting the zone and the clock icon, the time can be changed at any point, and several timers can be activated simultaneously. The timer always shows the time set for the selected area, or the shortest remaining time. When more than one timer is active, the ashing LED indicates the zone for which the cooking time is visible on the display. To set the timer for another zone, repeat the above steps. To deactivate the timer: Select the cooking zone for which you wish to deactivate the timer. Press the button with the clock icon ( ) for 3seconds. Alternatively, press the button with the clock icon and then press and hold the “−“ button until the display shows “0:0“. FUNCTIONS EXTENDIBLE ZONE (DOUBLE ZONE) Depending on the container's diameter, the zone adapts itself automatically, turning on partially (inner zone) or completely (outer zone). For more information, refer to the minimum diameter table. IMPORTANT: Place the pot making sure that its center corresponds to the center of the cooking zone in use (as shown below).

Sense“ button activates the special functions. Place the pot in position and select the cooking zone. Press the “6

Sense“ button. The display of the selected area will show “A“. To deactivate the special function and return to manual mode, select the cooking zone and press the “6

Sense“ button again. The power level when using special functions is pre-set by the hob and cannot be modied. MELTING This function allows you to bring food to the ideal temperature for melting and maintain the food condition without the risk of burning. This method is ideal, as it does not damage delicate foods such as chocolate and prevents them from sticking to the pot. KEEP WARM This feature allows you to keep your food at an ideal temperature, usually after cooking is complete or reducing liquids very slowly. Ideal for serving foods at the perfect temperature. BOILING This function allows you to bring water to the boil and keep it boiling, with lower energy consumption. About 2 litres of water (preferably at room temperature) should be placed in the pan. In all cases, users are advised to monitor the boiling water closely and check the amount of water remaining regularly. If the pots are big and the water quantity is higher than 2 litres, we recommend using a lid to optimize boiling time. Owner's manual ENINDICATORS RESIDUAL HEAT If “H“ appears on the display, this means that the cooking zone is hot. The indicator lights up even if the zone has not been activated but has been heated due to the adjacent zones' use or because a hot pot has been placed on it. When the cooking zone has cooled down, the ”H” disappears.

POT INCORRECTLY POSITIONED OR MISSING

This symbol appears if the pot is not suitable for induction cooking, is not positioned correctly or is not of an appropriate size for the cooking zone selected. If no pot is detected within 30seconds of making the selection, the cooking zone switches o. COOKING TABLE

• Do not use steam cleaning equipment.

• Before cleaning, make sure the cooking zones are switched o and that the residual heat indicator (”H”) is not displayed. Important:

• Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads as they may damage the glass.

• After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits and stains from food residue.

• A surface that is not kept suitably clean may reduce the sensitivity of control panel buttons.

• Use a scraper only if residues are stuck to the hob. Follow the scraper manufacturer's instructions to avoid scratching the glass.

• Sugar or foods with high sugar content can damage the hob and must be immediately removed.

• Salt, sugar and sand could scratch the glass surface.

• Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a special hob cleaner (follow the Manufacturer’s instructions).

• Spills of liquid in the cooking zones can cause the pots to move or vibrate.

• After cleaning the hob, dry thoroughly. If the iXelium™ logo appears on the glass, the hob has been treated with iXelium™ technology, an exclusive Whirlpool finish which ensures perfect cleaning results, as well as keeping the surface of the hob shiny for longer. To clean iXelium™ hobs, follow these recommendations:

• Use a soft cloth (microbre is best) dampened with water or with everyday glass cleaning detergent.

• For best results, leave a wet cloth on the glass hob surface for a few minutes. The cooking table oers an example of the cooking type for each power level. The actual delivered power of each power level depends on the cooking zone dimension. Induction hobs may whistle or creak during normal operation. These noises actually come from the cookware and are linked to the pan bottoms' characteristics (for example, when the bottoms are made from dierent layers of material or are irregular). These noises may vary according to the type of cookware used and the amount of food it contains and not the symptom of something wrong.
