•Congratulations on choosing an induction hob, a system which is
revolutionising cooking. With your hob, because the heat required to cook the
food is produced directly in the interior of the pan, the ceramic top barely
becomes hot for it receives ONLY the heat from the pan placed on it.
Compared to a standard hob your induction hob is:
MORE ECONOMICAL: when a pan is removed the heating zone switches off
instantly.
FASTER: output of 2800 W available instantly on the heating zone
MORE PRECISE: the hob reacts instantly to the controls
SAFER: the temperature of the ceramic top remains low
•Operating principle:
The “induction” currents instantly heat the pan* which transfers its heat to the
food it contains.
*Enamelled steel, cast iron or stainless steel pans suitable for induction
cooking.

For the user

To use a touch control...
Place your finger flat on the touch control selected.
Turning on a cooking zone
Locate the touch controls on the keypad which correspond to the cooking
zone on which you have placed your pan.
•Press the touch control.
•Set the power level required
- For quick setting, keep your finger on one of the touch controls.
- The touch control enables MAXIMUM setting to be obtained directly
- The touch control enables HIGH setting to be obtained directly
- The touch control enables MEDIUM setting to be obtained directly
Once you have pressed the touch control, if you do not select a power
level, the instruction will be cancelled automatically after 10 seconds.
•Adjust the power level during cooking
You can adjust the power level from 1 to 12 (from 50 W to 2800 W) at any
time
during cooking using the touch controls.
Turning off a cooking zone
•Press the touch control of the zone concerned.

Check regularly that there are no objects (tea towel, paper, etc.) which might block the air
inlet located below your hob (see Building in).
•“Overheat” safety feature
A sensor constantly monitors the temperature of your hob’s components. If their
temperature becomes too high the power supplied by the hob will be reduced.
•“Empty pan” safety feature
Each heating zone is fitted with a sensor which constantly monitors its tempe-
rature, so no more danger of overheating caused by empty pans.
•Detection of an object or a pan on a heating zone
A small object such as a fork, a spoon or even a ring left on the hob is not
detected as a saucepan. The display flashes and no heating power is produced.
The safety system acts in the same way when it detects a pan which is not sui-
table for cooking by induction.
IMPORTANT: If an oven is located under your hob (see installation options) the
thermal safety devices on the hob will prevent its simultaneous use when the
oven is in pyrolysis mode.
For the attention of wearers of pacemakers
and active implants:
The functioning of the hob is in conformity with current standards on electro-
magnetic interference.
Your induction hob also fully complies with the legal requirements (EC directives
89/336/EEC). It has been designed not to interfere with the operation of other
electrical appliances as long as these comply with the same legislation.
Your induction hob generates magnetic fields in its immediate area.
So that there is no interference between your hob and a pacemaker, the latter
must be designed in conformity with the relevant regulations.
In this respect, we can only guarantee the conformity of our own product.
Insofar as the conformity of the pacemaker or any incompatibility is concerned,
you should consult its manufacturer or your doctor.
Using the timers
Both rear cooking zones are equipped with a timer (maximum duration
99 minutes). However, they can operate without the timer.
•Select a cook setting (from 1 to 12)
•Press the touch control for the timer
As soon as you press this touch control, the timer switches on and the cook
time selected (in minutes) appears on the display . Keep your finger on the
touch control until the required cook time
appears.
NB
The illuminated display shows the cook time remaining.
When the time has run out, the cooking zone turns off, the power indicator goes
out and the timer flashes at “0”. You will then hear some intermittent "beeps".
Press any touch control for the cooking zone to turn them off.
•Changing the cook time
You can alter the cook time at any point during cooking by pressing
the touch control.
•Switching off the timer during cooking
To switch off the timer press the minus ( -) sign on the touch control until
0appears.
The heating zone continues to function without the timer.
Using 2 cooking zones simultaneously
These two zones have a total of 2800 W of power available, distributed
automatically between the front and rear zones.
This means that when one zone is being used at maximum, the power of the other
is automatically reduced.
The most recent instruction always takes priority.

Precautions for use
•
The ceramic surface is very strong, however, it is not unbreakable: do not
drop pans onto it.
•
Saucepans with damaged bases may trap and transfer materials which
could cause staining or scratching of the hob.
•
Do not drag saucepans across the hob surface as in the long term this will
damage the design on the ceramic top.
These faults, which do not prevent operation or use of the hob, are
not covered by the guarantee.
The hob must not be used as a storage area.
•
Do not store CLEANING products or any products which might be INFLAM-
MABLE in the unit located under your hob.
•
When plugging electrical appliances into a socket nearby, make sure that
the power cable does not come into contact with the cooking zones.
If a crack appears in the ceramic top,
disconnect the appliance
from the power supply immediately
by removing the fuses or activating the circuit breaker.
Do not use any part of the hob until the ceramic top has been

Advice on cooking
•
Do not leave an empty pan on a heating zone.
•
The pan should be centred on the heating zone.
•
Never heat up an unopened tin, it may explode; this advice applies to all
cooking systems.
•
When you use a pan with a non-stick lining (Teflon type) to cook with no
fat or very little, preheat it at setting 9 or 10 for a moment.
Never use setting 12:
you may damage your saucepan
•
You are advised not to place metal cooking utensils, cutlery, knives and
similar metal objects on the hob. They may become hot if they are near a
functioning cooking zone.
•
Using a pan which is smaller than the size of the cooking zone indicated
on the ceramic top is quite acceptable and does not result in a loss of
energy, unlike other, standard hobs (electricity, gas).
When cooking, never use aluminium foil
and never place products wrapped in aluminium foil
directly on the induction hob.
The aluminium will melt and damage your appliance irreparably.

Which types of pan are most suitable?
You probably already have some suitable pans.
•
PANS MADE OF ENAMELLED STEEL WITH OR WITHOUT NON-STICK COATING.
•
CAST IRON PANS WITH OR WITHOUT ENAMELLED BASE
To prevent the ceramic top on your hob from being scratched you are advised
to choose a pan with an enamelled base.
•
STAINLESS STEEL PANS DESIGNED FOR INDUCTION COOKING
Most stainless steel pans are suitable for induction cooking (casseroles, sauce-
pans, frying pan, deep fryer, etc.).
•
ALUMINIUM PANS WITH SPECIAL BASE
C HOOSE PANS WITH A HEAVY BASE , WHICH WILL ENSURE MORE EVEN COOKING RESULTS ( THE HEAT IS
BETTER DISTRIBUTED
).
•
NB. E VEN PANS WHICH DO NOT HAVE A COMPLETELY FLAT BASE MAY BE SUITABLE , HOWEVER , THEY
MUST NOT BE TOO MISSHAPEN
.
This hob carries the symbol.
By choosing a pan bearing the same symbol, you will be assured of its complete com-
patibility with your hob, under normal conditions of use.
To help you in your choice, a list of utensils is supplied with this instruction book.
Which materials are incompatible?
P ANS MADE OF GLASS , CERAMIC OR EARTHENWARE , OR OF ALUMINIUM WITHOUT A SPECIAL BASE OR OF COPPER
,
OR OF CERTAIN TYPES OF NON - MAGNETIC STAINLESS STEEL .
The “pan” test
Your induction hob is capable of recognising most types of pan.
Place your pan on a heating zone at power setting 4; if the display does not
flash your pan is compatible, if it flashes then your pan cannot be used for
induction cooking.
You can also use a magnet: if it does not “stick” to the pan, then the pan is not
suitable for induction cooking.

Precautions
Please comply scrupulously with the following points:
●The walls above the worktop and immediately next to the hob must be heat-resistant.
●
Laminated surfaces and the adhesives used to fix them must be heat-resistant to avoid any deterioration.
●The cool air gap located underneath and to the rear of the hob is there to increase its
reliability by ensuring that it remains cool in all types of fitting arrangement.
● The hob must not be installed above a dishwasher, washing machine, refrigerator or
freezer.
●Protection from heating is Type Y in accordance with IEC 335-2-6
Fitting the hob into the worktop
●Make a cut-out in the worktop with the dimensions required.
The minimum distance of 40 should be measured from the wall and any side
walls (rear and/or sides).
Protecting the cut-out
The chipboard used in the manufacture of worktops swells relatively quickly when in
contact with humidity. Apply a varnish or a specialist glue to the edge of the cut-out to
protect it from any steam or condensation which may originate from under the top of the
hob.
Call your After Sales Service.
Check the connections and the mains
connection are correct.
This is quite normal
The electronic circuit is malfunctio-
ning.
Your hob has been wrongly connec-
ted.

Your oven carries the BRANDT label, it has an upper ventilation system and the hob
can therefore be fitted directly into the worktop above the oven in the higher position.
●It is essential that an air inlet of 30 cm

be made in the left or right wall of the oven
housing unit.
Reminder: the hob’s thermal safety devices prevent its simultaneous use with an oven
in pyrolysis mode.

Electrical Connection
These hobs are supplied with an 05 VVF power supply cable (cross-section 1.5 mm2),
with 5 cores (of which one for the earth: yellow/green) and should be connected to the
mains by a socket which complies with the EEC 7 regulations or by using a double-pole
circuit breaker with a contact gap of at least 3 mm.
If this power supply cable is damaged, or if you wish to change it, it can only be repla-
ced by your After Sales Service as this requires specialist tools.
