Important Notes
•After use, turn off the hob at the switch and do not rely on the pan detector.
•Prevent liquids from boiling over, so turn the heat down when boiling or heating
liquids.
•Do not leave the heating elements turned on with empty pots and pans or with
no pans.
•Switch off the relevant hot plate when you have finished cooking.
•Never use aluminium foil for cooking and never place products packaged in
aluminium on the hob. The aluminium would melt and irreparably damage your
device.
•Never heat a tin or can containing foods without opening it first: it might explode!
This warning also applies to all other types of hobs.
•High power levels such as the Booster function should not be used to heat
certain liquids, such as oil for frying. Excessive heat may be dangerous. In these
cases, we recommend the use of a lower power level.
•Containers must be placed directly on the hob and in the centre.
•Under no circumstances may any other objects be placed between the pan and
the hob.
•If the temperature becomes high, the device automatically decreases the power
level of the cooking zones.
•Before doing any cleaning or maintenance work, disconnect the device from the
mains power supply by removing the plug or turning off the mains switch. Wear
protective gloves for all installation and maintenance operations. The device can
be used by children over the age of eight and by people with impaired physical,
sensory, or mental abilities or lacking in experience or the necessary knowledge
provided that they are supervised or after they have received instruction about
how to safely use the device and understand the inherent dangers. Children
must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the device. Cleaning and
maintenance must never be performed by children unless they are properly
supervised. The room must be properly ventilated when the device is used at the
same time as other gas-powered devices or powered by other fuel. The device
must be regularly cleaned both internally and externally (AT LEAST ONCE A
MONTH), in strict accordance with the maintenance instructions. Failure to follow
the rules for device cleaning and filter replacement and cleaning may result in a
fire hazard. Food must never be cooked flambe. Using a naked flame may
damage the filters and cause a fire hazard; it must, therefore, be avoided under
all circumstances. Extra care must be taken when frying to prevent the oil from
overheating and catching fire.

Instructions for Use
Using the hob: The induction cooking system uses the physical principle of magnetic
induction to directly transfer energy from the generator to the pot.
Advantages: When compared to electric hobs, your induction hob is:
•Safer: lower temperature on the glass surface.
•Faster: shorter food heating times.
•More accurate: the hob immediately reacts to your commands.
•More efficient: 90% of the absorbed energy is converted into heat.
Moreover, once the pot is removed from the hob, heat transmission is immediately
interrupted, avoiding unnecessary heat losses.
Cooking Containers
Only use pots marked with induction symbol.
To prevent scratching, do not use:
•containers with less than perfectly flat bottoms,
•metal containers with enamelled bottoms,
•containers with a rough base, to avoid scratching the hob surface,
•do not place hot pots and pans on the control panel surface.
Preexisting containers
Induction cooking generates heat through the use of magnetism. Therefore, containers
must be made of a magnetic material, such as iron. To determine if a pot is suitable, test
its material with a magnet. If a pot does not respond to a magnet, it is not suitable for
induction cooking.
Recommended pan bottom diameters
IMPORTANT: If the pot size is incorrect, the cooking zones will not activate.
For details of the minimum pot diameter that needs to be used on each zone, see the
illustrated part of this manual.

7
Energy Saving
Recommendations for best results:
•Use pots and pans with a bottom diameter equal to that of the cooking zone.
•Use only pots and pans with flat bottoms.
•Keep the lid on the pot whenever possible during cooking.
•Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with a minimal amount of water to reduce
cooking time.
•Use a pressure cooker, as it further reduces energy consumption and cooking
time.
•Centre the pot within the cooking zone indicated on the hob.

Choice of the Right Cookware
Cookware for induction hobs
Cookware for induction cooking zones must be made of metal and have magnetic
properties. The base must be sufficiently large. Only use pots with a base suitable for
induction.
This is how to establish the suitability of a pot:
Suitable cookware
Unsuitable cookware
Enamelled steel pots with a thick base.
Cast iron pots with an enamelled base.
Pots made of multi-layer stainless steel,
rustproof ferrite steel or aluminium with
a special base.
Pots made of copper, stainless steel,
aluminium, ovenproof glass, wood,
ceramic, and terracotta.
Conduct the magnet test described below or make sure that the pot bears the symbol
for suitability for cooking with induction current.
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with the
operation of the overheating protection, so that the appliance becomes too hot. This

14
may lead to the glass top cracking and the pan base melting. Damage arising from the
use of unsuitable pans or boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
If the base of the cookware is only partially ferromagnetic, only the ferromagnetic area
will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly. The non-
ferromagnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.
NOT SUGGESTED: The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the material from
which the base of the cookware is made contains aluminium, for example. This may
mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even that it will not be
detected.
NOT SUGGESTED: The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made can
affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans made from materials that distribute heat
evenly through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer base, saves time
and energy. Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the cookware is uneven, this
may impair the heat supply.
Magnet test: Move a magnet towards the base of your cookware. If it is attracted, you
can use the cookware on the induction hob.

15
Note: When using pans suitable for induction from certain manufacturers, noises may
occur which are attributable to the design of these pans. Take care when using
simmering pans as simmering water may dry up unnoticed, resulting in damage to the
pot and to the hob for which no liability will be assumed.
Dimensions of cookware: To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic area on
the base of the pan should match the size of the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect
an item of cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a smaller diameter.

for 30 seconds, and the timer indicator will show “--“ when the time is up.
Using the timer to switch off one or more cooking zones:
First, touch the timer key, “30” will show on the timer display and blink. The default
setting is 30 minutes. Set the time by touching the (+) or (-) control. Short touch for
skipping by the minute, long touch for skipping by 10 minutes. When the time is set, it
will begin to count down immediately. The display will show the remaining time.
Note: There will be a red dot in the right bottom corner of the power level indication
which indicates that the zone is selected.

19
When the cooking timer expires, the corresponding cooking zone will be switched off
automatically.
Note: Other cooking zones will keep operating if they are turned on previously.
If the timer is set on more than one zone:
When you set a timer for several cooking zones, red dots of the relevant cooking zones
are indicated. The timer will show the time that comes first. The dot of the
corresponding zone blinks. Once the countdown timer expires, the corresponding zone

Maintenance and Care
•Before cleaning, switch off the hob and let it cool down.
•Do not use steam cleaners or high-pressure cleaners to clean the cooking hob, as
this may result in an electric shock.
•When cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly over the on/off sensor. The
hob may otherwise be accidentally switched on!

20
Glass ceramic hob
Important! Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as rough scouring agents,
abrasive saucepan cleaners, rust and stain removers etc.
Cleaning after use
Always clean the entire hob when it has become soiled. It is recommended that you do
so every time the hob is used. Use a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid for
cleaning. Then dry the hob with a clean dry cloth to ensure that there is no detergent left
on the surface of the hob.
Weekly clean
Clean the entire hob thoroughly once a week with commercial glass ceramic cleaning
agents. Please follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. When applied, the
cleaning agent will coat the hob in a protective film which is resistant to water and dirt.
All dirt remains on the film and can be removed easily. Then rub the hob dry with a
clean cloth. Make sure that no cleaning agent remains on the surface of the hob since
this will react aggressively when the hob is heated up and will change the surface.
Specific soiling Heavy soiling and stains (limescale and shiny, mother-of-pearl type
stains) can best be removed when the hob is still slightly warm. Use commercial cleaning
agents to clean the hob. First, soak food which has boiled over with a wet cloth and then
remove the remaining soiling with a special glass scraper for glass-ceramic hobs. Then
clean the hob again as described above.
Burnt sugar and melted plastic must be removed immediately, when they are still hot,
with a glass scraper.
Grains of sand which may get onto the hob when you peel potatoes or clean lettuce may
scratch the surface of the hob when you move pots around. Make sure that no grains of
sand are left on the hob.
Changes in the colour of the hob will not affect the function and the stability of the glass
ceramic material. These colour changes are not changes in the material but food
residues which were not removed, and which have burnt into the surface.
Shiny spots result when the base of the cookware rubs on the surface of the hob,
particularly when cookware with an aluminium base or unsuitable cleaning agents are
used. They are difficult to remove with standard cleaning agents. You may need to
repeat the cleaning process several times. In time, the decoration will wear off and dark
stains will appear as a result of using aggressive cleaning agents and faulty pan bottoms.
In case a large amount of liquid is accidentally poured into the machine, take off the
silicone plug on the bottom case to release the liquid.
