PROCEDURE TO START PARBOILING - INDUCTION
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Automatic parboiling is activated by turning the knob anti clockwise briefly, the `A` symbol will appear. The required on-boiling stage is selected by
turning knob clockwise which is shown on the display. The `A` symbol appears after 1 second upon releasing the knob.
The on-boiling stage can be adjusted within 15 seconds after activation without cutting off the parboiling boost. If another selection is made after 15
seconds the knob can be used to select an even lower on-boiling stage which however cuts off the Automatic parboiling function at the same time.
Turning the knob higher on boiling stage (even after the above 15 seconds) can be selected. This leads to the parboiling time being automatically
brought in line with the currently selected on-boiling stage.
Once the parboiling has ended only the selected cooking stage is indicated on the display.
BOOSTER FUNCTIONS - INDUCTION
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The `Booster` function for the burner is enabled by turning the knob clockwise. When this function is enabled, the display shows the letter `P`.
By means of this function the cooking zone is enabled to receive power > 100%.
The Boosting time is limited to 10 minutes to protect cooking utensils. After the booster is switched off automatically, the cooking zone continues
operation on nominal power. The booster can be reactivated provided that the temperature sensors in the electronics and if the coils have the
capacity.
When a pan is removed from the cooking zone during boosting, the no pan symbol is displayed and boosting time continues to count down. When a
pan is replaced within the boost time it will reactivate.
If the booster temperature limit of the electronics or coil on the boosted cooking zone is exceeded, the booster is cut off automatically and reset to
nominal power. While one of the two temperature limits remains exceeded the booster cannot be activated. In this case the booster is indicated when
the knob is turned clockwise which is followed by an automatic reduction on the display.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Child lock function on FIXG905B1 is activated by turning control knob anti-clockwise until an “L” symbol appears. Repeat this process to unlock.
This process is the same for the FIXG903B2 using the far right control knob.
PAN DETECTION - INDUCTION
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This feature is able to recognise the presence of a pan that according to the scale of the EN standards is one size smaller than the nominal diameter
of the burner. If no pan is detected or if an unsuitable pan is detected the no pan symbol is displayed. If the no pan symbol appears when a pan is
actually on the burner this generally means that the size or shape of the pan concerned is unsuitable. In this case check whether the type of pan is
suitable for induction cooking.

STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT (FIXG9041B2)
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Clean your cooktop with a damp cloth and dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass
surface.
INDUCTION PRINCIPLE
An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable electromagnetic field which produces inductive
currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be magnetic:
• All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify by using a small magnet): cast iron and steel pans, enameled pans, stainless-steel
pans with ferromagnetic bottoms.
• Exclusions: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminum, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware. The induction heating zone adapts automatically to
the size of the pan. If the diameter is too small, the pan doesn’t work.
This diameter will vary the function of the heating zone diameter. If the pan is not adapted to the induction cooktop the display will show
[ U ].
SENSITIVE TOUCH
Your ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger presses the key, the corresponding
command is activated. This activation is validated by a control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound. In the case of a
general use press only one key at a time.
VENTILATION
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed. The ventilation starts with a high speed when the cooktop is
intensively used. The cooling fan reduces speed and stops automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled.

19
POWER SELECTION ZONE “SLIDER” AND TIMER SETTING ZONE
To select the power with the slider, slide your finger on the “SLIDER” zone. You can directly access if you put your finger directly on the chosen
level.
STARTING-UP
Start up/switch off the cooktop:
Action Control panel Display
To start press key [ 0/I ] [ 0 ]
To stop press key [ 0/I ] nothing or [ H ]
Start up/switch off the cooktop:
Action Control panel Display
To set slide on the “SLIDER” [ 1 ] to [ P ]
(adjust the power) to the right or to the left
To stop slide to [ 0 ] on “SLIDER” [ 0 ] to [ H ]
If no action is made within 20 second the electronics return to the waiting position.
PAN DETECTION
This cooktop is fitted with an interactive control system that makes it very easy and comfortable to use. After switching on the cooktop, when you
put a cookware on the glass, the control system automatically detects it. This system also automatically indicates you which slider control to use
by displaying a [ 0 ] over it. You then just have to set the expected cooking level.
The pan detection ensures perfect performance. The induction will not work if:
• There is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not adapted to the induction. In this case it is impossible to increase the power and
the display shows [ U ]. This symbol disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone that is compatible.
• The pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows [ U ].
The symbol [ U ] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The cooking continues with the power level set before.
After use, switch the heat element off : don’t leave the pan detection [ U ] active.

20
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATION
After the heating zone is turned off, or the complete stop of the cooktop, the heating zones are still hot and
indicates [ H ] on the display. The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched without danger.
When the residual heat indicators are on, don’t touch the heating zones and don’t put any heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn
and fire.
BOOSTER FUNCTION
The Booster function [ P ] grants a boost of power to the selected heating zone.
If this function is activated the heating zones work for 10 minutes with an ultra high power. Booster is needed for example to heat up large
quantities of water rapidly, like for noodles
Start up/stop the booster function:
Action Control panel Display
Start up the Booster slide to the end of the “SLIDER” [ P ]
or press directly on the end of
the “SLIDER”
Stop the Booster slide on the “SLIDER” [ 9 ] to [ 0 ]
If the selected heating levels for both zones exceed the maximum available amount of power, the power management function is automatically
reducing the power from one of these zones. The display of this zone is first blinking; the level is then automatically reduced to the highest
suitable position.
Heating zone selected The other heating zone: (example: power level 9)
[ P ] is displayed [ 9 ] goes to [ 8 ] and blinks
It is possible to activate the booster function on several cooking zones at the same time, for this it is necessary to use the zones in a discriminant
way (A-B).
