AWord on Induction Cooking
Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking
technology. It works by electromagnetic vibrations generating heat directly in
the pan, rather than indirectly through heating the glass surface. The glass
becomes hot only because thepan eventually warms it up.
Before using your New Induction Hob
Read this guide, taking special note of the ‘Safety Warnings’ section.
Remove any protective film that may still be on your Induction hob.
Using the Touch Controls
The controls respond to touch, so you don’t need to apply any pressure.
Use the ball of your finger, not its tip.
You will hear a beep each time a touch is registered.
Make sure the controls are always clean, dry, and that there is no object (e.g.
a utensil or a cloth)covering them. Even a thin film of water may make the
controls difficult to operate.

Choosing the right Cookware
•Only use cookware with abase suitable for induction
cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the
packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
•You can check whether your cookware is suitable by carrying out
amagnet test. Move amagnet towards the base of the pan. If it
is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction.
•If you do not have amagnet:
1. Put some water in the pan you want to check.
2. If does not flash in the display and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
•Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or
copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic and earthenware.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth, sits flat against the glass, and is
the same size asthecooking zone. Use pans whose diameter is as large as the
graphic of the zone selected. Using apot aslightly wider energy will be used at
its maximum efficiency. If you use smaller pot efficiency could beless than
expected. Pot less than 140 mmcould be undetected by the hob. Always
centre your pan on thecooking zone.
Always lift pans off the Induction hob – do not slide, or they may scratch the
glass.

FLEXIBLE AREA
• This areacan be usedas a single zone, accordingly to the cooking needs
anytime.
• Flexibl
e area is made of two independent inductors that can be controlled
separately. When workingas a single zone,a cookware is moved from one zone
to the other one within the flexible area keeping the same power level of the
zone where the cookware originally was placed, and the part that is not covered
by cookware is automatically switched off.
•Important ：Mak
e sure
to place the cookwares centered on the single
cooking zone. The ideal recipe isan oval or rectangular saucepan, ora saucepan.

Cautions
1. The induction hotplate must be installed byqualified personnel or
technicians. We have professionals atyour service. Please never conduct the
operation by yourself.
2. The hobwill not be installed directly above a dishwasher, fridge, freezer,
washing machine or clothes dryer, asthe humidity may damage the hob
electronics.
3. The induction hotplate shall be installed such that better heat radiation can
be ensured to enhance its reliability.
4. The wall and induced heating zone above the table surface shall withstand
heat.
5. To avoid any damage, the sandwich layer and adhesive must be resistant to
heat.
Connecting the hob to the mains power supply
This hob must be connected to the mains power supply only by a suitably qualified person.
Before connecting the hob to the mains power supply, check that:
1. the domestic wiring system is suitable for the power drawn by the hob.
2. the voltage corresponds to the value given in the rating plate
3. the power supply cable sections can withstand the load specified on the rating plate.
To connect the hob to the mains power supply, do not use adapters, reducers, or branching
devices, as they can cause overheating and fire.
The power supply cable must not touch any hot parts and must be positioned so that its
temperature will not exceed 75˚C at any point.
Check with an electrician whether the domestic wiring system is suitable without
alterations.Any alterations must only be made by a qualified electrician.
