Using the ceramic hob
Before first use
IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see
“Cleaning and maintenance” section).
oYou should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes
at the maximum setting. This will help to eliminate any new
smell that exists and evaporate any humidity that has formed
during transit.
oDo not burn off more than one zone at once.
oYou must place a saucepan filled half full with cold water on
each zone as you burn it off. Otherwise the induction zone will
not operate.
11

Touch controls
oAll operations are performed by means of the touch controls that
can be found on the control panel.
oEach touch control has a visual display that corresponds to it.
oEvery time you press a touch control, an acoustic signal will
sound.
Switching the hob on
oPress the ON/OFF button (9)
oThe cooking zone indicators (3) will all read “0”.
Switching a zone on and setting a power level
IMPORTANT: A zone must be selected within two minutes of
switching the hob on.
oPress the plus button (4) for the zone that you
want to use.
oA number “5” will appear on the relevant
cooking zone indicator (3). Indicating that a
power level of 5 is currently selected.
oAdjust the zone between power levels 1 and 9,
using the plus (4) and minus (2) buttons. By
holding down either of these buttons, the value
on the cooking zone indicator (3) will adjust up
or down every 0.3 seconds.
oIf when holding down the plus (4) or minus (2) buttons the
power level reaches zero. You will need to press either the plus
(4) or minus (2) button again, to continue adjusting the power
level.
12

Switching a zone off gradually
oPress the minus button (2) of the zone that
you wish to switch off, until the number in the
cooking zone indicator (3) reaches “0”. After 3
seconds, the zone will switch off automatically.
oAn “H” will show in the cooking zone indicator
(3) until the temperature of the zone falls
below 60°C (see the section on the “residual
heat indicator” for further information).
Switching a zone off instantly
oSimultaneously press the minus button (2)
and the plus button (4) of the zone that you
wish to switch off.
oThe zone will switch off immediately.
oAn “H” will show in the cooking zone indicator
(3), alternating with “0”. (See the section on
the “residual heat indicator” for further
information).
13
Switching the hob off
Once you have switched off all of the cooking zones, you should switch
the hob off.
oPress the ON/OFF button (9).
oIt is possible to switch off the hob off at any time by
pressing the ON/OFF button (9).

Residual heat indicator
oAfter a zone is switched off, the corresponding
cooking zone indicator (3) will show the letter “H”.
This means that the temperature of the zone is
over 60°C and is therefore still high enough to
cause injury.
oIf the zone falls below 60°C and there are still other zones
switched on, a “0” will appear on the cooking zone indicator (3).
oIMPORTANT: The residual heat indicator will disappear if your
mains supply is cut.
Pan sensor
Each zone has a sensor on it, so it can detect the presence of a pan.
oThe sensor is fine-tuned to detect a pan being placed on it. The
pan should be one size smaller than the nominal diameter of the
zone.
oIf a “U” shaped symbol appears on a cooking zone indicator (3),
after you have placed a pan on that cooking zone and attempted
to set a power level; this means that the pan is either the
incorrect size or shape. Or it could be made from a material that
is inappropriate for use on an induction zone hob.
oThe pan should have a flat bottom and be larger than 120 mm in
diametre.
oIf a cooking zone is selected but no pan is detected, the pan
sensor system will check for the presence of a pan
approximately every 2 seconds.
oYou should check that your pans are suitable for use on an
induction zone hob (see the pan manufacturer’s trademark or
instructions).
oIf a saucepan smaller than 80 mm in diameter or a small object
(such as cutlery) is placed accidentally on a cooking zone. An
audible alarm will sound for approximately 1 minute.
oIf the saucepan or small object is not removed from the cooking
zone, then the hob will enter stand-by mode.
