Residual heat indicator
•The hob is fitted with a residual heat indicator for each cooking zone. These indicators alert
the user when cooking zones are still hot.
•If the display shows , the cooking zone is still hot. If the residual heat indicator of a given
cooking zone is lit, that zone can be used, for example, to keep a dish warm or to melt butter.
When the cooking zone cools down, the display goes off.
Incorrect or missing pot indicator –Error code "E0"
•If you are using a pot that is not suitable, not correctly positioned or not of the correct
dimensions for your induction hob, the symbol "E0" will appear in the display. If no pot is
detected within 180 seconds, the hob switches off.

•Note: The data in the table is for guidance only. The relation between the heat setting and
the cooking zone consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting it is
not proportional to the increase of the cooking zone consumption of power.
•The power of the cooking zones can be different in some small range. It changes with the
material and dimensions of the cookware.
8.Cleaning
•Do not use steam cleaners.
•Before cleaning, make sure the cooking zones are switched off and that the residual heat
indicator (“H”) is not displayed.
•Important! Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads. Their use could eventually ruin the
glass.
•After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits and stains due to food
residuals.
•Sugar or foods with a high sugar content 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 specific hob cleaner.
9.Troubleshooting
•Check that the electricity supply has not been shut off.
•Dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning it.
•If, when the hob is switched on, alphanumeric codes appear on the display, consult the
following table for instructions.
•If the hob cannot be switched off after using it, disconnect it from the power supply.

•C / C-C-C-C error: Automatic safety shutdown in case of liquid overflow.
This means that the touch panel was poured with liquid.
10. Noises made by the hob
•Induction hobs can make whistling or crackling sounds during normal operation, these
actually come from the pots and pans as a result of the characteristics of the bottoms (for
example, bottoms made of several layers of material, or uneven bottoms). These noises vary
depending on the pots and pans used and the amount of food they contain, and are not
indicative of a defect of any kind.
•In addition, the induction hob is equipped with an internal cooling system to control the
temperature of electronic parts; as a result, during operation and for several minutes after
the hob has been switched off, the noise of the cooling fan will be audible. This is perfectly
normal and indeed essential for proper functioning of the appliance.
