iron pots,) may damage the ceramic glass.
Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not
contact with the heating zones. These may cause breaks or
other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch on
the appliance and remove them immediately out of the hot
heating zone (be careful: do not burn yourself).
WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking
surface
Never place any hot container over the control panel.
If a drawer is situated under the embedded appliance, make
sure the space between the content of the drawer and the
inferior part of the appliance is large enough (2 cm). This is
essential to guarantee a correct ventilation.

5
Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer
situated under the vitroceramic hob. The eventual cutlery
drawers must be resistant to heat.
Precautions in case of appliance failure
If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off the

Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the kilojoules
brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts his high speed
when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops automatically
when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.
Sensitive touch
Your induction hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your
finger presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a
control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound.
For normal use, press only one key at the same time.
STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Before the first use
Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent
which risks causing blue-tinted 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 adapted:
All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it with a little magnet): cast iron
and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…
Are excluded: cupper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware,…
The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. With a too small diameter
the pan doesn’t work. This diameter is varying in function of the heating zone diameter.
If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].
Starting-up
Start up / switch off the hob:
Action Control panel Display
To start press key [ ] 4 x [ 0 ]
To stop press key [ ] nothing or [ H ]
Start up / switch off a heating zone:

Pan detection
The pan detection ensures a perfect safety. The induction doesn’t work:
If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not adapted to the induction. In this
case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol
disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone.
If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows [ U ].
The symbol [ U ] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The cooking
continues with the power level set before.
Booster function
The booster function [ P ] grants a boost of power to the selected heating zone.
If this function is activated the heating zones work during 10 minutes with an ultra high power.
The booster is foreseen for example to heat up rapidly big quantities of water, like noodles
cooking.

COOKING ADVICES
Pan quality
Adapted materials: steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, ferromagnetic stainless-steel,
aluminium with ferromagnetic bottom.
Not adapted materials: aluminium and stainless-steel without ferromagnetic bottom,
cupper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
The manufacturers specify if their products are compatible with induction.
To check if pans are compatibles:
Put a little water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [ 9 ].This water
must heat in a few seconds.
A magnet should stick on the bottom of the pan.
Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise
doesn’t mean any failure on the appliance and doesn’t influence the cooking operating.
Pan dimension
The cooking zones are, until a certain limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan.
However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according to the
corresponding cooking zone.
To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan well in the centre of the cooking
zone.
