Hob Control Panel
! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of grease
on the glass. Before using the appliance, we recommend
you remove these with a special non-abrasive cleaning
product. During the first few hours of use there may be a
smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly.
! A few seconds after the hob is connected to the electricity
supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may now be switched
on.
Types of noise during normal hob operation:
• Buzz: due to the vibration of the metallic parts that
make up the induction element and the pot; it is
generated by the electromagnetic field required for
heating and increases as the power of the induction
element increases.
• Soft whistle: heard when the pot placed on the heating
zone is empty; the noise disappears once food or water
is placed into the pot.
• Crackle: produced by the vibration of materials on the
bottom of the pot due to the flow of parasitic currents
caused by electromagnetic fields (induction); can be
more or less intense depending on the material making
up the bottom of the pot, and decreases as the pot
dimensions increase.
Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, make
sure that:
• The appliance is earthed and the plug is compliant with
the law.
• The socket can withstand the maximum power of the
appliance, which is indicated on the data plate located
on the appliance itself.
• The voltage falls within the range of values indicated on
the data plate.
• The socket is compatible with the plug of the appliance. If
the socket is incompatible with the plug, ask an authorised
technician to replace it. Do not use extension cords or
multiple sockets.
! Once the appliance has been installed, the power supply
cable and the electrical socket must be easily accessible.
! The cable must not be bent or compressed.
! The cable must be checked regularly and replaced by
authorised technicians only.
! The manufacturer declines any liability should these
safety measures not be observed.
! Do not remove or replace the power supply cable for any
reason. Its removal or replacement will void the warranty
and the CE marking. INDESIT does not assume liability for
accidents or damage arising from replacement/removal
of the original power supply cable. Replacement can only
be accepted when carried out by personnel authorised
by INDESIT and using an original spare part.

To switch the hob on, press and hold the button for
approximately one second.
The cooktop is switched On when a beep sound is
emmited and all the cooking zones displays show
the digit point.
When the cooktop is OFF, after 5 sec the control
.
switches off the KEYLOCK LED to reduce the power
consumption.
As soon as we touch a key, the KEYLOCK LED goes
ON and we can continue to use the cooktop, unlocking
the keyboard.
Switching off the cooktop is signalled by 3 beep sound
.
Switching on the cooking zones
Each cooking zone is switched on and controlled using the
(-) and (+) POWER buttons, which at the same time
are used for power adjustment.
• To begin operating a cooking zone, set the desired
power level (between 0 and 9) using the (-) and (+)
POWER buttons
Press and hold the (-) POWER button to set the power
level immediately at “9”
Press and hold (+) and (-) POWER buttons simulta
neously to return to power level “0”
• Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements of
the same group function simultaneously at maximum
power and/or when the booster function is set on
the larger element while the other is auto-adjusted.
Noise is reduced by decreasing the power level of the
auto-adjusted induction element; pot bottom layers
made of different kinds of materials are among the
main causes of this noise.
• Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob functions
correctly and to safeguard the electronic unit from
possible overheating. The fan functions at maximum
power when the large induction element is at maximum
power or when the booster function is on; in all other
cases, it works at average power depending on the
temperature detected. Furthermore, the fan may continue
to work even after switching the hob off, if the temperature
detected is high.
The types of noise listed above are due to induction
technology and are not necessarily operational faults.
!
If the (-) or (+)button is pressed for an extended period
of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power
levels and timer minutes.
Initial Light Conditions
When power is initially applied to the Cooktop, the to-
uch control conducts a calibration process for the to-
uch keys, which requires a low level of ambient light in
the area of the touch keys.
If during this calibration process excessive ambient
lighting is detected the User Interface displays „FL”
(Infrared Ambient Light Error) and the control cali-
bration process is suspended. In order to rectify the
process any lighting that could effect the calibration
process should be switched off (e.g. halogen cooker
hood lighting). The error will disappear when satisfac-
tory ambient lighting is detected and the touch control
calibration procedure will now complete satisfactorily.
-The „FL” error can only be generated within approx 3s
of initial power being applied to the cooktop.
-We recommend that the user switches off all cooker
hood lighting and lighting directed towards the cook-
top when power is initially applied to the cooktop.
-After the touch control has conducted its initial cali-
bration process, (approx 3s) any cooker hood or other
lighting can be switched on as normal and will not af-
fect the operation of the touch control.
Switching on the hob
After connecting the hob to the electricity mains, the
touch pannel might be automatically locked. To un-
clock the pannel press and hold the Control Panel
Loock button .
Using the Ceramic Hob
Setting the Power Management

Using the Ceramic Hob
Practical advice on using the appliance
! Use cookware made from materials which 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.
*
SUITABLE
UNSUITABLE
Cast iron
Enamelled steel
Special stainless steel
Copper,
Aluminium, Glass, Earthenware,
Ceramic, non magnetic Stainless steel
In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the
cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter which 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 clean
and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both
the cooking zones and the cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which 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.
The “u” sign on the display appears if after
selecting the cooking zone the pan is not placed on a
heater , or in case of:
• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.
After 10 sec. with no pan on the heating zone, a warning
beep signal is emmited.
After 60 sec. with no pan on the heating zone,, the heater
switches off.
Overheating protection
If the electronic elements overheat, the number signalizing
the power level starts flashing, and the letter “c” appears
on the display. When the temperature has reached a
suitable level, this message disappears and the hob may
be used again.
Safety switch
The appliance has a safety switch which automatically
switches the cooking zones off after they have been in
operation for a certain amount of time at a particular 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 5 hours of continuous operation, while the
front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 8 hours.
When one or more keys are activated for more than
10 sec. the touch control. switches off
A warning beep sounds is emmited every 10
sec., while the key/s is/are activated.
With all heaters at zero power during 10 sec. the
Cooktop is switched off.
If the switching off is due to an accidental activa-
tion of keys, the touch control actuates as above.
Buzzer
This 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. If the cause of
the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep sounding
and the hob will switch off.
Errors and Alarms
When an error is detected, the whole appliance or the
heater/s are switched off, a beep sounds (only if one or
more heaters are active) and all displays show a ‘F’
letter and the error code (an index number or a letter)
alternately.
If the problem does not disappear by itself, please
contact the Technical Service.
Switching off the hob
Press the button to switch off the appliance - do not
rely solely on the pan sensor.
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.

The Working of the Heating Zones
Heating only occurs within the marked circular cooking
zones. The zones heat up and cool down quicker,
providing greater controllability for sensitive foods. Each
heating zone is equipped with a thermal limiter which is
a safety cut-out which prevents the ceramic glass from
overheating. After several minutes at full power without
a pan on the heating zone the thermal limiter will switch
the heating elements off and on automatically to avoid
any damage to the ceramic glass.
Choice of saucepan’s
It is essential that the saucepan’s you use on the ceramic
hob are suitable.
ALWAYS USE:
Good quality pans with smooth, flat, heavy bases.
saucepan's manufactured from aluminium (enamelled
or machined) or stainless steel.
Correct size saucepan's. The base of the pan must
cover the heating zone completely.
saucepan's with lids which are well fitting to reduce
cooking time and energy use.
NEVER USE:
Pans with thin, distorted or uneven bases as these
will extend cooking times, waste electricity and cause
damaging, local hotspots on the glass surface.
Pans with ridged or recessed bases.
Pans with damaged or rough bases which could
scratch the glass surface.
Glass or glass ceramic utensils.
Do Not
In order to keep your ceramic hob in good condition,
follow these simple guidelines:
Do not stare at halogen heating units.
Do not cook directly on the hob surface without a
cooking utensil, as this will result in damage
to the surface of the hob.
Do not use the hob as a worktop surface as damage
may occur to the smooth surface of the hob.
Do not drag or slide utensils on the hob surface, as
this will cause scratches in the surface of the
hob.
Do not allow a cooking utensil to come into contact
with the hob surround.
Do not place anything between the base of the utensil
and the ceramic hob, e.g. do not use asbestos
mats, aluminium or wok stand.
Do not leave any utensils, food or combustible items
on the hob when it is not in use.
Do not place aluminium or plastic foil, or plastic
containers on the hob.
Do not leave the hotplates or cooking areas switched
On unless they are being used.
Do not leave heating zones uncovered when they
are switched On. We recommend not to place
large preserving pans or fish kettles across two
heating areas.
Do not leave utensils partly covering the heated areas.
Always ensure that they are placed centrally
over the heated areas and have the same
diameter as the heating area used.
Do
Always ensure that the bottom of the pan is both clean
and dry. Dirt or moisture between the pan and
the hob can cause pitting of the surface of the
glass.
We do not recommend the use of utensils with a base
diameter greater than 25cm (l0ins).
Pressure cookers or other large pans should be used on
the front cooking areas.
Always ensure that saucepan handles are positioned
safely.
Always take extra care when cooking foods with a high
sugar content eg. jam, as spillage will cause
damage to the surface of the glass.
Always clean spills immediately (see Care and
Cleaning).
IMPORTANT As with any cooking appliance there could
be some fire risk attached to the heating of oil, particularly
for deep fat frying, cooking utensils containing oil must
not be left unattended (e.g. to answer the telephone)
on or in close proximity to the patterned cooking areas.
1. Use a deep pan, large enough to completely cover the
appropriate heating area.
2. Never fill the pan more than one-third full with fat or oil.
3. Never leave oil or fat unattended during the heating or
cooking period.
4. Do not try to fry too much food at a time, especially
frozen food. This only lowers the temperature of the
oil or fat too much, resulting in greasy food.
5. Always dry food thoroughly before frying, and lower it
slowly into the hot oil or fat. Frozen foods, in particular,
will cause frothing and spitting, if added too quickly.
6. Never heat fat, or fry, with a lid on the pan.
7. Keep the outside of the pan clean and free from
streaks of oil or fat.
8. Never allow excessive splashing of oil onto the hob.

Safety requirements for deep fat frying
In the unfortunate event of a chip pan fire:
1. Switch Off the electricity supply.
NEVER attempt to move the pan - burns and injuries
are caused almost invariably by picking up the burning
pan and rushing outside with it.
2. Smother flames with a fire blanket or damp cloth.
NEVER use a fire extinguisher to put out a pan fire, as
the force of the extinguisher is likely to tip the pan over.
NEVER use water to extinguish oil or fat fires.
When smothering the flames DO ENSURE that you
FACE and ARMS are WELL PROTECTED from the
flames to save you from becoming hurt.
3. After the fire has been extinguished LEAVE THE PAN
TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES BEFORE
MOVING IT.
4. If you fail to put the fire out, call the fire brigade
immediately.

Grill
Using the grill pan kit
The grill pan handle is detachable from the pan to
facilitate cleaning and storage. Fix the pan handle
securely before use:
1. Fit the handle to the grill pan so that the external ‘hooks’
embrace the edge of the pan (fig. 1)
2. Make sure that the middle part of the handle fits exactly
the protruding support of the pan (fig .2) and holds the
pan from the bottom.
The food must be placed on the rack in the grill pan.
Position the grill pan on top of the oven rack. The best
results are achieved by placing the oven rack on the
uppermost shelves. Pouring a little water into the grill pan
will make the collection of grease particles more efficient
and prevent the formation of smoke.

Grill
The top heating element will come on. On this setting,
food is cooked by the thermal radiation given off in the
downward direction by the electric heating element. The
very high temperature and direct heat of the grill make
it possible to brown meats on the surface while locking
in the juices to keep them tender.
The power of grill can be increased or reduced by means of

The top oven should be used to cook small quantities
of food.The oven is designed so that the grill element
operates at a reduced heat output, this is combined with a
heating element situated underneath the floor of the oven.
To ensure even cooking of the food it is important that
cooking utensils are positioned correctly on the oven shelf
so that the element is directly above.
There are two cooking positions, the shelf placed on
runner 1 or 2 (from the base), do not use shelves upside
down.
Food/utensils must not be placed directly on the
oven floor.
There should always be at least 25mm (1in) between the
top of the food and the grill element.
Warning: Items stored in top oven will get hot when main
oven is in use.
Operation
To heat the oven, turn the control knob clockwise.The
top oven pilot light will come on and remain on until the
oven reaches the required temperature.The pilot light
will automatically go on and off during cooking as the
thermostat maintains the correct temperature.
Cooking meat/poultry
Small joints of meat up to 1.5kg (3 lbs), or poultry, up to
3.6kg (8 lbs) (60cm cookers) in weight can be roasted in
a small meat pan in the top oven. Larger joints of meat/
poultry weighing more than 3.6kg (8 lbs) (60cm cookers)
should be roasted in the main oven.
Do not use the grill pan as a meat pan in the top oven
as air circulation will be seriously restricted.
Top oven as a warming compartment for plates
Place the plates/dishes on the shelf, positioned on runner
1, turn top oven control to 100°C for 10-15 minutes.Never
use grill control.

TURN OFF THE MAIN SWITCH AND ENSURE THE
COOKER IS COLD BEFORE CLEANING.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON AGAIN, ENSURE THAT ALL
CONTROLS ARE IN THE OFF POSITION.
NEVER USE BIOLOGICAL WASHING POWDER,
HARSH ABRASIVES, SCOURING PADS, AEROSOL
CLEANERS OR OVEN CHEMICAL CLEANERS OF ANY
KIND, UNLESS SPECIFIED BELOW.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
the appliance.
!
Clean the glass part of the oven door using a sponge
and a non-abrasive cleaning product, then dry thoroughly
with a soft cloth. Do not use rough abrasive material or
sharp metal scrapers as these could scratch the surface
and cause the glass to crack.
! The accessories can be washed like averyday crockery
(even in your dishwasher).
Cleaning materials to avoid:
1. Plastic or nylon pads
2. Household abrasive powders and scourers.These
may scratch the surface.
3. Oven chemical cleaners, aerosols and oven pads.
Caustic cleaners such as these will etch the surface
and attack the metal frame.
4. Bath and sink cleaners may mark the surface.
ALWAYS SWITCH OFF AT THE MAINS SWITCH
BEFORE CLEANING.
Ceramic hotplates:
Clean your Ceramic hob top regularly and avoid repeated
burning of encrusted contamination.
Your choice of cleaner will depend on the degree of
soiling involved (see below).
minor soiling, where the contamination has not burnt
hard, can be wiped off with a clean wet cloth
major soiling and strongly-adhering burnt encrustation
can be quickly and easily removed with a razor-blade
scraper
hard water stains, grease spots and discolouration
having a metallic sheen can be removed with 'Easy
Do Cleaner Powder'
always condition hob after cleaning by using 'Easy Do
Conditioner' or 'Hob Brite'. Apply a small amount of
conditioner with a clean damp cloth or paper towel.
Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean damp
cloth or paper towel. Polish with a clean cloth or paper
towel before the conditioner dries.
Care and Cleaning
Detergent residues must always be completely removed
with a clean wet cloth, (even if the instructions for use
suggest otherwise), as they can have an etching effect
when reheated. Then wipe dry.
To maintain hob in good condition, we would recommend
regular use of the ‚Easy Do Powder Cleanser’.
Sprinkle Powder Cleanser on a clean damp cloth or paper
towel and rub vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove all
residue with a clean damp cloth or paper towel.Then use
conditioner to protect the hob.
For more stubborn marks, mix a small amount of the
powder cleanser with ‚Jif Lemon Juice’ (from a bottle)
and carefully spread over the affected area. Cover with
a damp paper towel and leave for a minimum of 15
minutes.Rub vigorously. Remove excess with a clean
damp cloth or paper towel before the conditioner dries.
Polish with a clean cloth or paper towel. Easy Do products
are available from many electrical retailers, our Parts
Department (see Key Contacts, back page) and our
Spares Distributors. Homecare ‚Hob Brite’ is available
from leading Supermarkets.
Oven shelf supports
The shelf supports are removable and dishwasher safe.
To remove hold the support at the front and pull away
from the oven side, this can then be cleaned in a sink or
a dishwasher.
When removed it allows access to the oven side, which
can be cleaned with warm soapy water.
To refit the support, insert the longer leg into the rear
fixing hole and push in the front leg.
Decorative trims
It is advisable to clean the decorative trims regularly to
prevent any build up of soiling which may detract from the
appearance of the cooker.The recommended method of
cleaning is to wipe over the trims with a soft cloth wrung
out in warm water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. (If in
doubt try the cleaner on a small area of trim which is not
noticeable in normal use).Then, after wiping with a cloth
wrung out in clear water, dry with a soft clean cloth.
Never use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners/powders
which may scratch the surface.
Take care during cleaning not to damage or distort the
door seals.Do not lift the door seal from the oven chassis,
if necessary remove the seal by carefully unhooking the
corner clips.
Take care that the rating label edges are not lifted during
cleaning, and furthermore that the lettering is not blurred
or removed.

Care and Cleaning
STAY CLEAN’Oven interior pannels
Refer to the instructions below for cleaning the ‚Stay
clean’ panels.
How „STAY CLEAN” works:
The surfaces of the ‚Stay clean’ oven liners are treated
on the mottled face with a special vitreous enamel which
absorbs cooking soils. At temperatures of 220°C (425°F)
or above, the special surface enables these soils to be
slowly destroyed. The higher the temperature the more
effective it is. In most cases normal cooking operations
at this temperature will permit this cleaning operation
to proceed during cooking. However if higher cooking
temperatures are not used regularly it may be necessary
in order to prevent heavy soiling, to run the oven without
a meat pan at maximum setting for a couple of hours.
Main Oven Liners - side and rear panels.
Top Oven Liners - sides
It should not normally be necessary to clean the ‚Stay
clean’ panels in water. If the user feels it is desirable
to do so, wash them in warm soapy water, followed by
rinsing in clean water. Do not use enzyme/biological
washing powder, harsh abrasives or oven chemical
cleaners of any kind.

Something Wrong with
your Cooker?
Before contacting your nearest Service Centre/Installer, check the problem guide below; there may be nothing
wrong with your cooker.
Problem
Slight odour or small amount of
smoke when grill / oven used for
first time
This is normal and should cease after a short period.
Nothing works
If you find that the timer display is blank, then it is likely that there is no elec-
tricity supply to your oven. Check:
(i) That the main cooker wall is switched on
(ii) Other appliances, to see if you have had a power cut
(iii) The main circuit breaker for the property
Grill / Top Oven do not work.
Main oven works
(a) Grilling with the door closed - Always grill with the door fully open
(b) Grilling for an excessively long period at maximum setting - see Grilling
guide. Switch off appliance and allow to cool for approx 30 mins.
Switch the cooker back on and check that the Grill / Top oven (as applica-
ble) is now operating.
Oven temperatures too high or
low
Check temperature and shelf positions are as recommended in the Oven
Temperature Charts.
It may be necessary to increase or decrease the recommended temperature
slightly to suit your taste.
Oven lamp does not work
The oven lamp is not covered by the guarantee. The part is easily changed
(see the section on oven lamp replacement). A new lamp may be obtained
from our Parts department, see Key Contacts, back page.
Grill does not work Ensure that the top oven control is turned fully off.
Grill keeps turning on and off
When the Grill control is operating at less than its maximum setting, the Grill
will cycle on and off, this is normal and not a fault.
Draught from beneath control
panel
A gentle flow of air will be blown from beneath the control panel when the
appliance is used. If the appliance is still warm, this cooling fan may run on,
or restart itself when all controls have been turned off. The fan will stop once
the appliance has been cooled.This is normal and not a fault.
Condensation on the wall at the
rear of the cooker
Steam and / or condensation may appear from the vent at the rear of the ap-
pliance when using an oven particularly for foods with a high water content
e.g. frozen chips, roast chicken etc.This is normal, and any excess should
be wiped off.
Steam / Condensation in the
oven after use
Steam is a by - product of cooking any food with a high water contact.
To help minimise always:
a) Try to avoid leaving food in the oven to cool after being cooked.
b) Use a covered container, wherever possible.
Main Oven Fan
keeps turning on
and off
This is normal operation.The main oven fan switches on
and off at regular intervals during
the cooking cycle.

Spare Parts
Please remember your new appliance is a complex piece
of equipment.
‚DIY’ repairs or unqualified and untrained service people
may put you in danger, could damage the appliance and
might mean you lose cover under the Parts Guarantee.
If you do experience a problem with the appliance don’t
take risks, call in our Service Engineer. Our Parts are
designed exclusively to fit your appliance. Do not use
them for any other purpose as you may create a safety
hazard.
If it Still Won’t Work
Disposal of your product
To minimise the risk of injury to children please dispose of
your product carefully and safely. Remove all doors and
lids. Remove the mains cable (where fitted) by cutting
off flush with the appliance and always ensure that no
plug is left in a condition where it could be connected to
the electricity supply.
To help the environment, Local Authority instructions
should be followed for the disposal of your product.
Disposal of old electrical appliances
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old
household electrical appliances must not be disposed
of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to
optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they
contain and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment.
The crossed out „wheeled bin” symbol on the product
reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of
the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.
Respecting and conserving the
environment
Whenever possible, avoid pre-heating the oven and
always try to fill it. Open the oven door as little as possible
because heat is lost every time it is opened. To save
a substantial amount of energy, simply switch off the oven
5 to 10 minutes before the end of your planned cooking
time and use the heat the oven continues to generate.
Keep gaskets clean and tidy to prevent any door energy
losses
If you have a timed tariff electricity contract, the “delay
cooking” option will make it easier to save money by
moving operation to cheaper time periods.
Make the most of your hot plate’s residual heat by
switching off cast iron hot plates 10 minutes before the
end of your cooking time and glass ceramic hot plates 5
minutes before the end of cooking time.
The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate.
If it is smaller, precious energy will be wasted and pots
that boil over leave encrusted remains that can be difficult
to remove.
Cook your food in closed pots or pans with well-fitting lids
and use as little water as possible. Cooking with the lid
off will greatly increase energy consumption
Use purely flat pots and pans
If you are cooking something that takes a long time, it’s
worth using a pressure cooker, which is twice as fast and
saves a third of the energy.
