INDICATORS
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 30seconds of making the selection, the
cooking zone switches o.
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
dierent 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 are not the symptom of something wrong.
SOUNDS PRODUCED DURING OPERATION
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
!
WARNING
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.
