Before the first use
Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface
thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing bluetinted
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 suitable:
- All ferromagnetics pans are recommended (please verify it
thanks a little magnet): cast iron and steel pans, enamelled
pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…
- Are excluded : copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium,
glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware,…
The induction heating zone adapts automatically the size of
the pan. With a too small diameter the pans doesn’t work. This
diameter is varying in function of the heating zone diameter.If
the pan is not suitable to the induction hob the display will show
[ U ].

IMPORTANT
The ceramic hob remains hot for a long time after use. Do
not touch the hob with your hands or let children near it. The
residual heat indicator will remain lit until the hob has cooled
down.
If any cracks appear in the ceramic hob, disconnect the
appliance immediately from the mains and call an authorized
technical service centre.
The hob has cooking areas with different power values and
diameters. The positions are clearly indicated by the rings
during operation, heat is located exclusively within these rings
and the remaining area stays cold. Each
cooking area is designed to operate with specific pans for
induction cooking, having a diameter just smaller than the
diameter of the chosen cooking area. The bottom of the pan
must be thick and flat. Its diameter must be as similar as
possible to that of the cooking ring. The surface of the hob and
the bottom of the pan must be kept clean.
Do not wet or overheat the plates.
Avoid sudden changes of temperature on the ceramic hob. For
example, do not pour cold water onto the hot hob.
- Do not leave the pan handles sticking out as they could be
ipped accidentally.
- It is preferable not to cook on the ceramic hob with pans
that have been used on gas burners The ames will have
deformed the bottom of the pans.
WARNING
The glass ceramic cooking zone is warmed up from the heat of
the pan. To avoid injuries (burning) do not touch this area.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BRIDGE function for the induction hob:
Place the pan in the middle of the two heating zones that will be
connected (the two equal-sized zones).
Turn the knobs of the two affected zones clockwise and until
the end of the stroke.
Hold them for 3 seconds to activate the function.
Adjust the power of the bridge with the front left area knob.
BOOSTER function
The purpose of the booster function is to give more power to
a determined area in order to reduce the necessary cooking
time.
This function is activated by pushing and turning the knob
clockwise from position 0 (off) to the fi nal position. The symbol
[P] appears on the display, meaning that the booster function
is activated.
The Booster function has a maximum duration of 10 minutes.
The area concerned then returns to level [9].
The Booster function ends before this time when:
- a lower power level is set
- the pan is removed
- there is overheating of the appliance or of the heating area
The Booster function has precedence over the “Heat-up”
function. This means that, if the heat-up function has been
activated in an area at the time of activating the Booster
function, the heat-up function will be interrupted.
Recognizing the presence of a pan
Each cooking area is designed to operate with specic pans for
induction cooking, having a diameter just smaller than the dia-
meter of the chosen cooking area. If the pan is not suitable, the
display for the area shows the symbol indicating absence of the
pan (U) and the appliance does not start up. This prevents the
appliance being switched on until a container is placed on the
coo king area, or until a container suitable for induction is used.
If the container used on the cooking area is removed during
this time, the area is switched o.
Residual heat indication
If the cooking area is still very hot, even though it is switched o,
the symbol H appears on the display.
“HEAT-UP” FUNCTION
The Heat-up function, or quick heating, is available on each
cooking area. This means that for a well defined time the
cooking area works at maximum power and at the end of
this time the power is automatically brought to the set level.
In this case the duration depends on the set power level. The
Heat-up function is activated by pushing and turning the knob
anticlockwise from position 0 to the final position. As soon
as the control is turned to the left, a letter [A] is shown on the
display for the area. After it has been activated you must set a
power level to continue cooking within 3 to 5 seconds; if this is
not done, the Heat-up function is interrupted.
KEY-LOCK FUNCTION
The Key-lock function is useful if there are children at home.
However, it is always advisable for an adult to be present
when the appliance is in operation. When the Key-lock function
is activated all the cooking areas are switched off and they
cannot be switched on accidentally.
The Key-lock function is activated, with the knobs in position
0, by turning the controls 1 and 2 simultaneously in an
counterclockwise direction.
Heating function 108°F AND 149°F
Turn the knob (A) clockwise. Between the off position (0) and
the power position (1) there is the position (u) which identifies
the function for heating food at 108°F. Only for 5 and 6-zone
models: turn the knob (A) clockwise again.
Between the (u) position and the power position (1) there is the
position (U) which identifies the function for heating food at
149°F. The maximum time of use for both functions is limited
to 120 minutes. Both functions are prioritized over the ‘HEAT-
UP’ mode.
The Key-lock function is activated, with the knobs in position 0,
by turning the controls 2 and 3 in a counterclockwise
direction. The letters [L][L][L][L] appear on the display. The
Key-lock function is deactivated by repeating the same
operation. The letters [O][F] appear on the display. If a knob is
turned when the key-lock function is active, the letters [L][L][L]
[L] appear on the disp.
