WELCOME

Thank you for choosing our product. To ensure your safety and get the best results, please read this manual carefully, including the safety instructions, and keep it for future reference. Before installing the hob, note the serial number, which you might need for repairs. Check for any damage during transportation and consult a technician if you're unsure before using it. Keep packaging materials away from children.

NOTE: Please note that the hob's accessories may vary depending on the model you purchased.

1. BEFORE STARTING

1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Before you begin, it is important to know: all functions of this hob are designed in order to comply with the most stringent safety regulations.

For this reason:

• Some functions will be activated, or will be automatically deactivated in absence of pots on the burners or when they are not correctly positioned.
• In other cases, functions will be automatically deactivated after a few seconds when they require more than one step (e.g., "Turn the hob on" without "selecting the cooking zone").
• In case of long-term use, the appliance may not immediately shut down, even with all cooking zones off, because it is in the cooling phase; the H symbol appears on the cooking zone display until it is cooled.

Safe activation: the product is activated with the presence of pots on the cooking zone. The heating process does not start or is interrupted if there are no pots or if these are removed.

Safety shut down: for safety reasons, each cooking zone has a maximum operating time, which depends on the maximum power level set.

1.2. POWER MANAGEMENT

When the product is first used, the hob is set to maximum reachable power. Different power limits can be chosen according to the home main supply system by using the power management function.

How to set the power management

It is possible to set a maximum power absorption level for the induction hob, choosing up to different power ranges.

Induction hobs are able to limit themselves automatically in order to work at a lower power level, to avoid the risk of overloading.

To enter the Power Management Function:

• Turn on the hob, then press at the same time and
• The timer indicator will show "P8" which means power level 8. The default mode is on 7.4kW.

To switch to another level

• Scroll left and right on the slider to change the power management level.
• There are 8 power levels, from "P1" to "P8". The timer indicator will show one of them:

P1 P2	P3 P4	P5 P6	P7 P8
2kW	2,5kW	3kW	3,5kW	4,5kW	5,5kW	6,8kW	7,4kW

Confirmation and Exit Power Management Function

For confirmation, turn off the hob. The power level will be saved automatically. The selected value is permanently stored and remains even after power down of the main supply. To change the power level, repeat the operations described above.

NOTE: depending on the power management selection, some power levels and functions of the cooking zones could be automatically limited so as not to exceed the selected value. In particular, in case of a power management level set less than 4.5 kW, the Boost function, Varycook, and some cooking preparations with the app could not be selected.

In particular, the last power level selection can be refused or adjusted according to the available amount of residual power from the previous setting.

1.3. CHOOSING THE RIGHT COOKWARE

1.3.1. Characteristics of the cookware

Use only pots with the induction symbol.

- Only pots with a perfectly flat bottom. Otherwise, the following situations may occur:

• No pot detection;
• Low performance;
• Unwanted noise.

- Only pots with a smooth base, to avoid scratching the hob surface;

NOTE: avoid as much as possible moving pot operations on the glass surface just to minimize scratches.

Magnet test

Induction cooking uses magnetism to generate heat; pots must therefore contain iron. If you already have a cookware, you can check if the material is magnetic by using a magnet. Pots are suitable if they are magnetically attracted by the magnet.

Cookwares made from the following materials are not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, earthenware.

1.3.2 Higher quality cookwares

All cookwares with the induction symbol are generally accepted. Depending on the type of bottom, however, the behavior may vary. When using large cookware with a smaller ferromagnetic element, only the ferromagnetic element heats up. Consequently, heat might not be uniformly distributed.

1.3.3. Dimension & placement

Always use the cooking zone that best matches the bottom diameter of the pan. Place the pot making sure it is well centered in the cooking area.

NOTE: it's recommended not to use pans that exceed the perimeter of the cooking zone.

For the correct working of the hob, it's necessary to use pots with the bottom diameter inside the range described in the following table.

	min.	90 mm	160 mm	160 mm	185 mm	90 mm
	max.	180 mm	220 mm	200 x 380 mm	210 mm	150 mm

NOTE: by using a cookware smaller than the minimum required, it could not be detected. While using one bigger than the maximum required, malfunctions or low performances may occur.

ATTENTION: do not put the pot on/near the control panel during cooking or cooling down.

2.3. COOKING PREPARATIONS WITH THE APP

Preci Probe as thermometer

Set the target temperature you want to reach in the hOn App, insert the Preci Probe inside the food or with its accessory inside liquids, and you will see the temperature rising in the app until it reaches the target temperature.

It will help you to accurately maintain the temperature for all kinds of food. You cannot use it when the Assisted Cooking function operates.

Assisted Cooking: "Cook with me" function

Choose from the hOn App recipes or special programs, follow the preparation step by step, and then the hob will automatically set the parameters for the chosen cooking method.

Sous Vide

Type of cooking in which the food is placed in a vacuum bag and cooked in a low-temperature water bath.

The food prepared in this way will be more juicy and tender and will keep the nutritional properties intact, making it healthier and tastier.

Go to the hOn App, select the category of food, select this type of cooking, insert the bag with the food in the pot with water, and the induction hob will set the correct cooking temperature for a perfect result.

Grill

Select the category of food from the hOn App, select this type of cooking, and the induction hob will automatically bring the grill to the correct temperature in a predetermined time.

Simmering

The simmering function is ideal for cooking sauces, stews, braised dishes, and all preparations with an average long cooking time.

The automatic function you find in the hOn App will gently bring the food to a slightly boiling temperature, keeping it for the entire duration of cooking.

Steaming

With the steaming function you can steam food such as vegetables, meat, or fish in pots equipped with a steamer basket. Steam cooking is faster than boiling, and since the food is not immersed in a liquid, it disperses fewer nutrients and preserves its vitamin content, improving its taste and structure, which will be more compact and pleasant.

If necessary, contact the authorized service center.

2.4 CULINARY SENSOR (available depending on the model)

This function is available for three cooking methods: Grilling, Pan frying, and Deep frying. All accessible in the Everyday Cooking section (HoN app).

Utility

Thanks to Culinary Sensor technology, the pan or the oil automatically reaches and maintains the ideal temperature based on the selected cooking method.

Directions for Use

• Cooking performance may vary because of cookware quality: please refer to Paragraph 3.3. Optimized cookware bottom diameter is 18 cm.
• Cookware must be placed centered on the cooking zone and not moved during the initial cooking phase (preheating phase). The function must be started only when the hob is cold.

Grilling and Pan-frying

Please use empty cookware before activating the function.

Deep Frying

Please fill the cookware with 1.5 liters of frying oil (around 5 cm frying oil depth) before activating the function.

3.1. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Regular cleaning can extend the lifecycle of your appliance.

• Clean the hob after each use; • Always use cookware with a clean base; • Scratches on the surface have no effect on how the hob operates; • Use a special cleaner suitable for the surface of the hob; • Use a special scraper for the glass.

3.2. CLEANING THE HOB

Before proceeding with the cleaning, make sure that the cooking zones are turned off. Always remember to follow the recommended cleaning instructions and avoid using abrasive products that could damage the surface of the cooktop.

a) FATTY SOIL

This procedure is recommended for these kinds of scenarios: splatters caused by frying or grilling meat.

• Let the hob cool down.
• Absorb any excess liquid around the pot with kitchen paper, then remove the pot.
• Clean the cooking surface with a cloth and detergent solution.
• If necessary, clean the hob a second time using hot water and cleaner for induction hob glasses.

b) SUGARY SOIL

This procedure is recommended for foods that, due to their high sugar content, need to be promptly removed to prevent damage to the hob surface (syrups, jams, or preserves).

• When the hob is still warm, absorb any excess liquid around the pot with kitchen paper, then remove the pot.
• If necessary, we recommend using a scraper at an acute angle to remove any remaining residue.
• Clean the cooking surface with a detergent solution and dry it with the kitchen paper. • If necessary, clean the hob a second time using hot water and cleaner for induction hob glasses.

c) STARCHY SOIL

This cleaning procedure is recommended for these kinds of foods: pasta, rice and potatoes.

• Absorb any excess liquid around the pot with kitchen paper, then remove the pot.
• Let the hob cool down.
• Use a damp cloth to moisten any starch residues. Allow it to sit for a couple of minutes.
• Clean the cooking surface with a cloth and detergent solution. After cleaning, wipe the hob dry with a soft cloth.
• If necessary, clean the hob a second time using hot water and cleaner for induction hob glasses.
