Using your Appliance
Tip
To check the suitability of your cookware:
Place the pan on a cooking zone at
power level 4.
If the display remains on, your cookware
is compatible.
If the display flashes, your cookware
cannot be used with induction cooking.
You can also use a magnet to test the
cookware.
If a magnet “sticks” to the bottom of the
cookware, it is compatible with induction.

Which cooking zone should I use
with which receptacle?
Induction receptacles
The induction principle
The principle of induction is based on a
magnetic effect.
When you place your cookware on a
cooking zone and you turn it on, the
electronic boards in your cooking hob
produce “induced” currents in the bottom
of the cookware and instantly raise its
temperature. This heat is then transferred
to the food, which is simmered or seared
depending on your settings.
Cookware
Most cookware is compatible with
induction. Only glass, terra cotta,
aluminium without a special finish on the
bottom, copper and some non-magnetic
stainless steels do not work with induction
cooking. We suggest you choose
cookware with thick flat bottoms. The heat
will be distributed better and cooking will
be more uniform.
By choosing cookware that
displays this logo on its bottom or
on its packaging, you can be certain that it
is perfectly compatible with your hob under
normal operating conditions.
To help you choose, a list of cookware is
provided with this guide.

Operating safety
Residual heat
After intensive use, the cooking zone that
you have just used can remain hot for
several minutes.
A “H H” is displayed during this period.
Avoid touching the hot areas during this
time.
Temperature limiter
Each cooking zone is equipped with a safe-
ty sensor that constantly monitors the tem-
perature of the bottom of the cookware. In
the event that an empty vessel is left on a
cooking zone that is on, this sensor auto-
matically adjusts the power output of the
hob, thereby avoiding any risk of damage to
the cookware or the hob.
“Small Items” safety
A small object (such as a fork, a spoon, a
ring, etc.) left alone on the hob is not
detected as a piece of cookware.
The display flashes and no heat is
produced.
Protection against overflows
The hob may shut down (with
the adjacent symbol in the
display) and a beep (depending
on the model) may sound in any
of these 3 situations:
Overflow that spills onto the buttons.
Damp cloth placed over the buttons.
Metallic object placed on the buttons.
Clean the hob or remove the object, then
begin cooking again.
Auto-Stop system
If you forget to turn off a preparation, your
cooking hob has an “Auto-Stop system”
safety function which automatically turns
off the forgotten cooking zone after a
predefined time (between 1 and 10 hours,
depending on the power used).
If this safety function is activated, the
disconnection of the cooking zone is
signalled by the display “AS” or “A” in the
control zone and a beep is emitted for
approximately 2 minutes. Simply press any
of the buttons to stop it.
A double beep will confirm your action.

Tip
If your oven is located below your hob, the
hob’s thermal safety measures forbid the
simultaneous use of the hob and the
pyrolysis program of your oven.
Your hob is equipped with an anti-
overheating safety device.
This safety can be activated, for example,
when the hob is installed over an oven that
is not sufficiently insulated. If this occurs, a
series of small lines appear in the control
panel. In this case, we recommend that
you increase the ventilation of your hob by
creating an opening in the side of your
cabinet (8 cm x 5 cm) and/or you can also
install the oven insulation kit that is
available from the After-Sales Service
Department.

Caring for and cleaning your hob
Caring for your appliance
Avoid hard shocks from cookware:
The vitroceramic glass surface is highly resistant, but not unbreakable.
Do not place any hot lids flat on your cooking hob. A “suction” effect might damage the
vitroceramic top.
Avoid rubbing cookware: in the long term this might cause damage to the decoration of the
vitroceramic top.
Do not place cookware on your frame or trimmings (depending on model).
Avoid using cookware with rough or bumpy bottoms: they can capture and transfer
particles that may produce stains or scratches on your hob.
These faults, which do not prevent operation or unsuitability for use, are not covered by the
guarantee.
Do not store cleaning products or flammable products in the cabinet underneath your
cooking hob. Do not reheat an unopened tin: it might explode.
Of course, this precaution applies to all types of cooking. For cooking, never use aluminium
foil. Never place items wrapped in aluminium foil or packaged in aluminium dishes on your
cooking hob.
The aluminium will melt and permanently damage your cooking appliance.
Objects not intended for cooking should never be placed on the hob (risk of powering on,
scratches, etc.).
Steam cleaning should never be used. The steam jet could damage your hob.
Maintaining your appliance
TYPES OF STAINS/SPOTS USE WHAT TO DO?
