IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR INDUCTION COOKTOP
Know which knob or key controls each sur-
face heating area. Place the cookware con-
taining food on the cooking area before
turning it on. Turn the cooking area off
before removing the cookware.
Cookware handles should be turned inward
and not extend over adjacent surface ele-
ments. — To reduce the risk of burns, igni-
tion of flammable materials and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the uten-
sil, the handle of the cookware should be
positioned so that it is turned inward and
does not extend over other cooking areas.
Use proper pan size — This appliance is
equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select cookware with flat
bottoms 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 properly on the induction zones.
Check the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions for cooktop use to ensure that the
cookware is compatible with induction
cooking.
Improper cookware may break due to sud-
den changes in temperature. Check the
cookware manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions for cooktop use.
Do not place metallic objects such as
knives, forks, spoons and lids on the cook-
top 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
When you are flaming foods under a venti-
lating hood, turn on the fan.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR GLASS
AND CERAMIC COOKTOPS
Clean cooktop glass with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam
burns. Some cleaners can produce harmful
fumes if applied to a hot surface. Avoid
scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
• Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting
or hanging garments should never
be worn while using the appliance.
Do not let clothing or other flamma-
ble materials come into contact with
hot surfaces.
• Do not attempt to operate the appli-
ance during a power failure. If the
power fails, always turn off the appli-
ance. If the appliance is not turned
off, electric surface elements may
resume operation when power is
restored. Once the power is restored,
reset the clock and the oven func-
tion.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil,
aftermarket oven liners, or any other mate-
rials or devices to line oven bottom, oven
racks, or any other part of the appliance.
Only use aluminum as recommended for
baking, such as lining cookware or as a
cover placed on food. Any other use of pro-
tective liners or aluminum foil may result in
a risk of electric shock, fire or a short circuit.
Take care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some mod-
els). Stand to the side of the appliance
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let
hot air or steam escape before you remove
food or place it back in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Touch-
ing surfaces in this area when the oven is on
may cause severe burns. Do not place plas-
tic or heat-sensitive items on or near the
oven vent. These items can melt or ignite.
Placement of oven racks - Always place
oven racks in required position while the
oven is cool. If a rack has to be moved while
the oven is hot, do not let the potholder
come into contact with a hot burner or ele-
ment in oven. Use potholders and grasp the
rack with both hands when repositioning it.
Remove all cookware and utensils before
moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert.
Broiler pans and inserts allow dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the
broiler. Do not cover the broiler insert with
aluminum foil; exposed fat and grease
could ignite.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom.
Always cook in proper cookware and
always use the oven racks.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEAN-
ING YOUR APPLIANCE

When setting the clock or a timer, depending on
how you turn the knob, you can set a different
increase / decrease speed for the settable minutes.
• Turn and release: minutes increase / decrease
one by one.
Example: 00:00 > 00:01 > 00:02 > 00:03 > etc.
• Hold turn: minutes increase / decrease one by
one for the first 3 minutes, then the timer
switches directly to the nearest multiple of 15,
increasing or decreasing in 15 minute steps.
Example: 00:00 > 00:01 > 00:02 > 00:03 > 00:15 >
00:30 > 00:45 > 01:00 > 01:15 > etc.
When setting the minutes you will only see the
icon. Once 60 minutes have been exceeded
the icon will also appear.
Blackout management
After a blackout, there can be two scenarios
depending on how long the appliance has been
without power.
1. A few seconds to a few minutes: the appli-
ance restores the settings and features set
before the power loss event.
2. A few minutes to hours: The appliance does
not save the previous settings and will have
to be reprogrammed.
First power on
When the range is first plugged in, or when the
power supply has been interrupted “12:00 PM” will
flash on the timer display.
It will stop flashing once the current time is set up

The instructions to adjust the clock in detail are the
same as for setting the clock in the case of the first
power on (see “Setting the display clock”) starting
from point no. 2.
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 cook-
top knobs.
• Cooktop knobs can only be pressed when
they are in the OFF position (zone deacti-
vated).
• Once a zone has been activated (knob not in
the OFF position), simply turn the relative
knob to change the power level or to deacti-
vate 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 cook-
ing 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 set-
ting 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 con-
ventional 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,
especially 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 click-
ing sounds from the electronic switches that main-
tain the desired cooking temperature. You may also
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 pro-
duce 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.
USING THE COOKTOP

15
hear a fan that cools the electronics inside the
cooktop.
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
suitable 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 bot-
tom 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 induc-
tion cooktop. 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
temperature is reached.
• Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating charac-
teristics 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.
NOTE
Be sure to read detailed instructions for induction
cooktop cleaning in the “Care and Cleaning” sec-
tion and “Before You Call” checklist section of this
Use and Care Guide.
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
generated 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 cooking.
CAUTION
Proper cookware on an operating induction cook-
ing zone will heat up very quickly. If an empty
piece of cookware is left on an operating induc-
tion cooking zone, the rapid change in tempera-
ture may warp or damage the cookware.
Do NOT place hot cookware on the control panel.
The heat may damage the electronic parts.
USING THE COOKTOP

16
The magnet test
To see if a piece of cookware will work on your
induction cooktop, try to stick a magnet to it. If the
magnet clings firmly to the bottom of the cook-
ware, the cookware will work on your induction
cooktop. If the magnet clings weakly or not at all,
the cookware will not heat up on your induction
cooktop.
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
location. We recommend using cookware with a
diameter that allows efficient cooking.
Below is a summary table showing the recom-
mended diameter of the cookware for each cook-
ing zone.
Example of correct pan arrangement on cooking
zones 1 - 2 - 4 - 5:
*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 180 mm - 7” 1/16.
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 manage-
ment module which optimizes or limits energy con-
sumption.
If the total power levels set exceed the maximum
allowed limit, the electronic board automatically
manages the power supplied to the cooking zones.
The levels set by the automatic management sys-
tem are shown on the display.

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
activated, the cooking zone switches off, a short
signal is emitted and if hot the symbol appears on
