Electromagnetic hazards!
This appliance complies with safety
and electromagnetic compatibility
standards. However, people with
pacemakers or insulin pumps must
refrain from using this appliance. It
is impossible to ensure that all of
these devices available on the
market comply with current
electromagnetic compatibility
standards, and that interference
which may prevent the device from
working correctly will not occur. It is
also possible that people with other
types of devices, such as a hearing
aids, could experience some
discomfort.
Malfunction risk!
The hob is equipped with a fan in
the lower section. If there is a
drawer under the hob it should not
be used to store small objects or
paper, since they could damage
the fan or interfere with the cooling
if they are sucked into it.
There should be a minimum of
2 cm between the contents of the
drawer and fan intake.
Risk of injury!
■When cooking in a bain marie, the
hob and cooking container could
shatter due to overheating. The
cooking container in the bain
marie must not directly touch the
bottom of the water-filled pot. Only
use heat-resistant cookware.
Risk o f i njury!
■Saucepans may suddenly jump
due to liquid between the pan
base and the hotplate. Always
keep the hotplate and saucepan
bases dry.
Elements that may damage the appliance
Caution!
■Rough pan bases may scratch the hob.
■Avoid leaving empty pots and pans on the hotplate. Doing so
may cause damage.
■Do not place hot pans on the control panel, the indicator
area, or the hob frame. Doing so may cause damage.
■Hard or pointed objects dropped on the hob may damage it.
■Aluminium foil and plastic containers will melt if placed on the
hotplate while it is hot. The use of laminated sheeting is not
recommended on the hob.

Overview
The following table presents the most common damage
caused:
Protecting the environment
Unpack the appliance and dispose of its packaging in such a
way that no damage is caused to the environment.
Environmentally-friendly disposal of waste
products
Energy-saving advice
■Always place the correct lid on cookware. Cooking with an
uncovered pan will result in a four-fold increase in energy
use. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to
lift the lid.
■Use cookware equipped with a solid, flat bottom. Curved pan
bases increase energy consumption.
■The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the
hotplate. If not, energy may be wasted. Note: The
manufacturer normally indicates the pan's upper diameter.
This is normally greater than the diameter of the pan's base.
■Choose cookware of a size suited to the amount of food you
are going to cook. A large pan that is only half full will use a
lot of energy.
■Use a small amount of water when cooking. This saves
energy, and vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals.
■Select a lower power level.
Induction cooking
Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking represents a radical change from the
traditional method of heating; the heat is generated directly in
the pan. It therefore offers a number of advantages:
■Time savings for cooking and frying; since the pan is heated
directly.
■Energy is saved.
■Care and cleaning are simpler. Foods that have spilt do not
burn as quickly.
■Heat and safety control; the hob supplies or cuts off power
immediately when the control knob is turned on. The
induction hotplate stops supplying heat if the pan is removed
without having previously switched it off.
Suitable pans
Ferromagnetic pans
Only ferromagnetic pans are suitable for induction cooking,
these may be made from:
■enamelled steel
■cast iron
■special cutlery for stainless steel induction pan
To determine whether a pan is suitable, check to see if a
magnet will stick to it.
Damage Cause Measure
Stains Food spillage Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
Unsuitable cleaning products Only use cleaning products specifically designed for glass-ceramic hobs.
Scratches Salt, sugar and sand Do not use the hob as a tray or working surface.
Pans with rough bottoms may scratch
the glass ceramic Check pans.
Fading Unsuitable cleaning products Only use cleaning products specifically produced for glass-ceramic hobs.
Contact with pans Lift pots and pans before moving them around.
Chips Sugar, substances with a high sugar
content Immediately remove spilt food using a glass scraper.
This appliance conforms to the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Directive WEEE 2002/96/EC.
This directive defines the framework for recycling used
appliances within European territory

6
Other suitable cookware for induction
There are other types of cookware especially made for
induction whose base is not entirely ferromagnetic.
Unsuitable pans
Never use pans made from:
■common thin steel
■glass
■earthenware
■copper
■aluminium
Characteristics of the pan base
The characteristics of the pan base may affect the uniformity of
the cooking results. Pans made from materials which help
diffuse heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, distribute
heat uniformly, saving time and energy.
Absence of pan or unsuitable size
If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of
unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level
displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable
pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than
90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.
Empty pans or those with a thin base
Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The
hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an
empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch
off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach
very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and
damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the
pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has
cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.
Pan detection
Each hotplate has a minimum limit for detecting pans, which
varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You
should therefore use the hotplate that is most suitable for the
diameter of your pan.
Familiarise yourself with the appliance
These instructions for use are applicable to other hobs. On
page 2 an overview of the models is provided, along with
information on measurements.
The control panel
When using large cookware on a
smaller ferromagnetic zone, only
the ferromagnetic zone heats up,
so heat might not be uniformly
distributed.
Cookware with aluminium on the
base reduce the ferromagnetic
zone, so less heat may be sup-
plied or be difficult to detect.
For good cooking results, the
diameter of the cookware's ferro-
magnetic area should match the
size of the hotplate. If cookware
is not detected on a hotplate, try
it on the next smaller hotplate
down.

Control surfaces
Pressing a symbol activates its corresponding function.
Notes
■The settings will not change if several symbols are pressed at
the same time. This enables the programming zone to be
cleaned when food is spilt.
■Always keep the control surfaces dry. Moisture can affect
proper functioning.
The hotplates
Residual heat indicator
The hob has a residual heat indicator •on each hotplate,
which lights up when they are hot. Avoid touching them when
this indicator is lit.
The •light will remain on while the hotplate is hot, even after
the hob has been turned off.
If the pan is removed before the hotplate is switched off, the •
will appear and alternate with the selected power level.
Programming the hob
This section will show you how to program the hotplates. The
table contains power levels and cooking times for several
dishes.
Switching the hotplate on and off
The range is turned on and off using the main switch.
To switch on: press the %symbol. The indicator next to the
main switch and the ‹indicators light up. The range is ready
for use.
To switch off: press the %symbol until the indicators go out. All
hotplates are turned off. The residual heat indicator will remain
lit until the hotplates have cooled down sufficiently.
Note: The range switches off automatically when all the
hotplates have been turned off for more than 20 seconds.
Set the hotplate
Select the required power level with the +and -symbols.
Power level 1 = minimum power.
Power level 9 = maximum power.
Each power level has an intermediate setting. This is marked
with a dot.

3. To change the power level: select the hotplate and press the
+or -symbol until the required power level appears.
To switch off the hotplate
Select the hotplate and then press the +or -symbol until ‹
symbol appears.
The hotplate turns off and the residual heat indicator appears.
Note: If no pan has been placed on the induction hotplate, the
selected power level flashes. After a certain time, the hotplate
switches off.
