different sizes. Select cookware with flat bot-
toms that match the surface unit size. Using
the proper cookware on the cooking area will
improve efficiency.
Glazed cooking utensils — Only certain types
of cookware are suitable for cooktop service
and must be magnetic in order to work prop-
erly on the induction zones. Check the manu-
facturer’s recommendations for cooktop use
to ensure that the cookware is compatible
with induction cooking.
Improper cookware may break due to sudden
changes in temperature. Check the cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop
use.
Do not place metallic objects such as knives,
forks, spoons and lids on the cooktop surface
since they can become hot.
Never leave surface elements unattended.
Boil-overs may cause smoking and greasy
spills that may ignite. A pan that has boiled
dry could be damaged and may damage the
cooktop

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

14
Cooking with the induction cooktop
Preliminary information
• Each zone of the induction cooktop has its own
dedicated display, where the power level and
the function symbols are indicated.
• Each zone of the cooktop can be activated by
pressing and then turning the relative cooktop
knobs.
• Cooktop knobs can only be pressed when they
are in the OFF position (zone deactivated).
• Once a zone has been activated (knob not in the
OFF position), simply turn the relative knob to
change the power level or to deactivate the
zone.
What is Electromagnetic induction?
Induction cooking uses electromagnets to create heat
in compatible cookware.
Below each cooking zone on an induction cooktop,
there is a copper coil. When the cooking zone is
turned on, the electricity turns the coil into a type of
magnet that heats metal cookware in the cooking
zone.
Induction features
Because heat starts in the cookware instead of the
cooktop, induction offers several advantages.
Fast Heating: Cookware will heat up faster than on a
conventional electric cooktop. Pay close attention to
avoid scorching food when starting to cook. You may
need to use a lower setting for cooking food than you
are used to.
Precise Control: The heat going into the cookware will
change immediately when you change the setting of
the cooking zone.
Even Heating: Cookware will typically heat more
evenly on an induction cooktop, so you are less likely
to have hot or cool spots in the cookware.
Cooler Cooktop: An induction cooktop will be cooler
when you remove the cookware than a conventional
electric cooktop would be. Because the cooktop
doesn’t get as hot, you are not as likely to get burned.
Spills are also less likely to cook onto the surface,
making clean-up easier.
Energy Efficiency: Induction cooking wastes less
energy than a conventional cooktop, so it uses less
electricity.
Sounds
The magnetic field over the induction cooking zone
may cause cookware to vibrate, creating a buzzing or
humming noise. These sounds are not unusual, espe-
cially at high settings.
Cookware that is not perfectly flat on the bottom may
vibrate slightly against the cooktop.
A loose handle may vibrate in its socket.
Multi-material cookware may allow small vibrations in
its structure.
Sounds are less likely to occur with heavier, higher
quality cookware.
An induction cooktop may also produce faint clicking
sounds from the electronic switches that maintain the
desired cooking temperature. You may also hear a fan
that cools the electronics inside the cooktop.
IMPORTANT
To avoid damaging the appliance, do not force the
knobs to turn if you have not pressed them first.
CAUTION
Although induction cooking zones do not produce
heat, they can become hot from contact with hot
cookware. Burns may occur if a cooking zone or the
surrounding area is touched before it has cooled to
a safe temperature.
NOTE
Be sure to read detailed instructions for induction
cooktop cleaning in the “Care and Cleaning” section
and “Before You Call” checklist section of this Use
and Care Guide.
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

15
Use the correct cookware type
The magnetic cooking zone sensors located below the
cooktop surface require the use of cookware made
with magnetic material in order to start the heating
process on any of the cooking zones.
Use only cookware with a perfectly flat bottom suit-
able for induction cooking. The use of cookware with
an irregular bottom could affect the efficiency of the
heating system and even prevent the pan from being
detected on the cooking zone.
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom
of the cookware. Cookware should have fl at bottoms
that make good contact with the entire surface of the
heating element.
Cookware material types
Cookware material is especially important when using
an induction cooktop. The cookware must contain
magnetic iron or steel to work on an induction cook-
top. Common materials for induction cookware
include the following:
• Stainless Steel - Slow heat conductor with
uneven cooking results. Durable, easy to clean,
and resists staining. Some types of stainless steel
will not work on an induction cooktop. Use the
magnet test to check stainless steel cookware.
• Cast Iron - A slow heat conductor that retains
heat very well. Cooks evenly once cooking tem-
perature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating character-
istics will vary depending on the base material.
Porcelain-enamel on a compatible metal will
work on an induction cooktop. Use the magnet
test to check porcelain-enamel cookware.
Cookware sold as induction-ready will often have a
symbol printed on the bottom by the manufacturer.
The magnet test
To see if a piece of cookware will work on your induc-
tion cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it. If the magnet
clings firmly to the bottom of the cookware, the cook-
ware will work on your induction cooktop. If the mag-
net clings weakly or not at all, the cookware will not
heat up on your induction cooktop.
IMPORTANT
• Each cooking zone is fitted with a magnetic
sensor that distinguishes between suitable and
unsuitable cookware.
• If unsuitable cookware is used, no heat is gen-
erated and no cooking will be performed.
• The alternating symbols and appear
when improper cookware is used, with missing
pan or when you remove the pan during cook-
ing.
CAUTION
Proper cookware on an operating induction cooking
zone will heat up very quickly. If an empty piece of
cookware is left on an operating induction cooking
zone, the rapid change in temperature may warp or
damage the cookware.
Do NOT place hot cookware on the control panel.
The heat may damage the electronic parts.
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

16
Minimum pan size requirements
USE THE CORRECT SIZE COOKWARE - The
cooking zones available on the Induction cooktop
require a MINIMUM pan size to be used at each loca-
tion. We recommend using cookware with a diameter
that allows efficient cooking.
Below is a summary table showing the recommended
diameter of the cookware for each cooking zone.
Example of correct pan arrangement on cooking
zones 1 and 2:
*In the (3) case, the measurement refers to the length
of a an elongated pan. For the width of this pan keep
a maximum of 200 mm - 7” 7/8.
First power on
When the range is first plugged in, or when the power
supply has been interrupted, all the symbols on the
cooktop display light up for one second.
Cooktop power management
The cooktop is equipped with a power management
module which optimizes or limits energy consumption.
If the total power levels set exceed the maximum
allowed limit, the electronic board automatically man-
ages the power supplied to the cooking zones.
The levels set by the automatic management system
are shown on the display.
A flashing a power level icon indicates that it will be
automatically limited to a new value selected by the
power management module.

USING THE COOKTOP

17
Cooktop operation time limitation
The cooktop is equipped with an automatic device
that limits its duration of use.
If you do not change the cooking zone settings, the
maximum operating duration of each individual zone
depends on the power level selected.
When the device for limiting the operating time is acti-
vated, the cooking zone switches off, a short signal is
emitted and if hot the symbol appears on the display.
Switching on the cooking zones
To switch on a cooking zone, press and then turn the
corresponding knob clockwise. A short beep will be
emitted.
The corresponding display shows the selected power
level, “ON” appears below the central cooking zone
display and all the other cooking zone displays briefly
display “0” and then go off. (the example shows the
front left cooking zone at level 3).
Turning off the cooking zones
To switch off a cooking zone, simply turn the corre-
sponding knob to “OFF”. All the cooking zone displays
show flashing red dots at their lower right corner and
the word “ON” below the central cooking zone display
for 10 seconds.
Induction cooktop residual heat
After the cooking zones have been switching off, if
they are still hot the corresponding displays shows the
flashing symbol . When the temperature drops
below the safety threshold, the symbol disappears.

period of time, the internal electronics may
have difficulty cooling if the room temperature
is high.
• To prevent excessively high temperatures from
forming inside the cooktop, the power of the
cooking zone is automatically lowered.
