Ventilation

The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts his high speed when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.

STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT

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.

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 with 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 to 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 [] .

Sensitive touch

Your induction 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.

For normal use, press only one key at the same time.

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.

Pan detection

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 [] . 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 [] . The symbol [] 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.

Residual heat indication

After switching 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 don't touch the heating zones and don't put any heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.

How to stick the gasket:

The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.

His installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.

Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from the external edge of the glass, after removing the protection sheet (3).

Fitting - installing:

• For the installation cut-out, refer to the installation manual.
• Ensure that there is a distance of 50 ~mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
• The hobs are classified as "Y" class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than the hob.
• The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist temperatures of up to 100^ .
• The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
• Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
• To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20mm to ensure a good air circulation of the electronic device.
• If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects (for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.
• Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with smooth work top surfaces.
• The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a distance minimum of 760~mm .
• The connection cord should be subjected, after building, with no mechanical constraint, such for example of the fact of the drawer.
• WARNING: Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking appliance or indicated by the manufacturer of the appliance in the instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.
