• To set the power to maximum, hold down the button briefly.

Booster function

The booster function may be used to shorten heating-up times. It is activated by pressing the ⑥ button. This function boosts the power of the relevant zone to 3000 W.

It stops automatically after 4 minutes. While the booster is activated, the relevant front or rear cooking zone has a maximum power of 600W (e.g. if the right rear hotplate booster is activated, the power of the right front hotplate decreases). Higher power levels are indicated by the flashing of the excess power levels, which will be restored after the booster function has stopped.

! Oval cooking zones: may only be overheated if the entire oval is switched on.
! Do not place two small pans on the oval cooking zones.

Extending the cooking zones

A button allows the user to extend the relevant cooking zones (these may be concentric or oval).

1. Press the button to activate the hotplate, then set the power to the required level using the and buttons.
2. Press the or button to switch on the entire, fully-extended cooking zone.

3. The hob will now operate normally.

Switching off the hob

Press the (1) button to switch the appliance off. If the control panel lock has been activated, the controls will continue to be locked even after the hob is switched on again. In order to switch the hob on again, you must first remove the lock function.

Practical advice on using the appliance

! Use cookware made from materials that are compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic material). We especially recommend pans made from: cast iron, coated steel or special stainless steel adapted for induction. Use a magnet to test the compatibility of the cookware.

In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:

• Use pans with a thick, flat base to fully utilise the cooking zone.

• Always use pans with a diameter that is large enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available heat.

• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always dry and clean, to fully utilise and extend the life of both the cooking zones and cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware that has been used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere correctly.

Safety devices

Pan sensor

Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor device. The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with suitable measurements for the cooking zone is placed on it. If the indicator light is flashing, it may indicate:

• An incompatible pan
  A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.

Residual heat indicators

After the pan has been removed from one of the cooking zones, part of the power level indicator will flash while the temperature of that particular zone remains above 60^ . This reduces the risk of burns and scalds.

Overheating protection

If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches off automatically and “—” appears on the display. When the temperature has reached an appropriate level, this message disappears and the hob may be used again.

Safety switch

The appliance has a safety switch that automatically switches off the cooking zones when they have been in operation for a certain amount of time at a given power level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the display shows "0".

For example: the right rear hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after 3 hours of continuous operation, while the front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 10 hours.

Buzzer

Can also indicate several irregularities:

• An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on the control panel for more than 10 seconds.
• Something has been spilt on the control panel.
• A button has been pressed for too long. All of the above situations may cause the buzzer to sound. Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the buzzer. The control panel locks automatically in the above situations. To unlock it press the [key icon] button; the settings will have been maintained. If the cause of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will switch off.

This appliance has been designed and manufactured in compliance with international safety standards. The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully.

General safety

! Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is never obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be provided with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the electronic components used in the appliance.

! We advise against the installation of an induction hob above an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above a washing machine (vibrations). In fact, there would be insufficient space for the ventilation of electronic components.

• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the appliance exposed to rain and storms.
• Do not touch the appliance with bare feet or with wet or damp hands and feet.
• The appliance must be used by adults only for the preparation of food, in accordance with the instructions provided in this booklet. Do not use the hob as a worktop or chopping board.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a sharp object such as a tool. If this happens, disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains immediately and contact a Service Centre.
• If the surface of the hob is cracked, switch off the appliance to prevent electric shocks from occurring.
• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical appliances do not come into contact with the hot parts of the hob.
• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively hot for at least thirty minutes after they have been switched off. An indicator light provides a warning when residual heat is present (see Start-up and use).
• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob, for example plastic and aluminium objects, or products with a high sugar content. Be especially careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or

packaging: if placed on surfaces that are still hot, they may cause serious damage to the hob.

• Always make sure that pan handles are turned towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid accidental burns.
• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work without having disconnected the appliance from the electricity mains.
• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids, etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.
• Warning for people who have been fitted with pacemakers or other active internal medical devices:

The hob conforms to all current legislation relating to electromagnetic interference.

This product therefore fully conforms with all legal requirements (directive 89/336/EEC). It was designed not to create interference with other electrical equipment used nearby, provided that the other equipment also conforms fully with all the above legislation.

The induction hob generates short range electromagnetic fields.

To avoid all risks of interference between the hob and the pacemaker, the pacemaker should be made in accordance with all current legislation.

We can only guarantee the conformity of our product in this matter. For further information on conformity or any incompatibility problems, please contact your G.P. or the pacemaker manufacturer.

Disposal

• When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that household appliances should not be disposed of using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection.

For further information relating to the correct disposal of exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the public service provided or their local dealer.

Switching the appliance off

Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.

Cleaning the appliance

! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for example, products in spray cans for cleaning barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust products, powder detergents or sponges with abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface beyond repair.

! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on the appliance.

• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent kitchen roll.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well and dry thoroughly.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use the scraper provided. Remove spills as soon as possible, without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid residues forming crusty deposits. You can obtain excellent results by using a rust-proof steel wire sponge - specifically designed for glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.

The scraper provided is sharp: be careful when using it.

• If the plastic or sugary substances are accidentally melted on the hob, remove them immediately with the scraper, while the surface is still hot.
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a special protective maintenance product: the invisible film left by this product protects the surface from drips during cooking. This maintenance should be carried out while the appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can become encrusted during subsequent cooking processes.

Stainless steel frame

(only in models with outer frame)

Stainless steel can be marked by hard water that has been left on the surface for a long time, or by cleaning products containing phosphorus. After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.

! Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or degreasing products which are not suitable for use with aluminium.

Disassembling the hob

If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:

1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on each side.
2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in each corner.
3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.

! Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If the appliance breaks down, contact a Service Centre.
