Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories
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.
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 thanks 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 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 ].
Sensitive touch
Your ceramic 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.
In the case of a general use press only one key at the same time.

•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 setted before.
After use, switch the heat element off: don’t let the pan detection [ U ] active
Residual heat indication
After the switch off of a heating zone or the complete stop of the hob, the heating zones are still
hot and indicates [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched without danger.
As far as the residual heat indicators are on light, don’t touch the heating zones and don’t put any
heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.

His installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.
Fitting - installing:
•The cut-out sizes are:
Reference Cut-size
BIC32 495 x 270 mm
•Ensure that there is a distance of 50 mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
•The hobs are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed
with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall
at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than
the hob.
•The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of
furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist
temperatures of up to 100 °C.
•The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
•Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
•To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 mm to ensure a good air
circulation of the electronic device.
•If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects
(for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.
•Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect
the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given
to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the
supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with
smooth work top surfaces.
•The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the
indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a distance
minimum of 600 mm.
