5 - Element and Control Setting
Melting function
If the knob is turned clockwise from zero position the first “power level” reached is the melting function.
The according 7 segment display unit shows this “u” symbol. The melting function is used to heat up
the bottom of the pot (40°C inside the pot). This function is used to melt food. The maximum time for
using the melting function is limited to 2 hours.
Warming function
The warming function is the second “power level” which will be selected when turning the knob
clockwise. The according 7 segment display unit shows this “U” symbol. The warming function is used
to heat up the bottom of the pot to 70°C (65°C inside the pot). Using this function the food can be kept
warm or it can be used to warm up food gently.
The maximum time for using the warming function is limited to 2 hours.
Automatic Heat Up time function
To activate the heat up time automatic press and turn the knob counterwise in overwind position “A”
until and the “A” symbol on the display starts blinking waiting for an input. Within the next 10s a valid
cooking level has to be selected from 1 to 8.
This will be the cooking level after a defined time of higher power output at level 9. The 7 segment
display alternates between “A” and the selected cooking level.
If the knob is turned clockwise by selecting level 0, level 9, (warming, melting) or in any position
counterwise the automatic heat up function will be turned off.
Booster function
To activate the boost function press and turn the knob clockwise in overwind position “P” until a beep
sounds. The symbol is as shown “P” and will be displayed. After 10 minutes the boost function will be
automatically switched off and the “P” is not shown on the display anymore and the induction control
will be set automatically at level 9.
Cookware recognition function
The cooking level of cooking zone can be selected by turning the knob to the according position even
if no pot is in place. The output of power starts automatically as soon as an appropriate pot is put on
the cooking zone. If no pot is being detected the display changes to the shown “pot missing” symbol
after a short time. This symbol will be shown until a appropriate pot is put on the cooking zone or the
maximum time of 10 minutes expired. The same applies if the pot is removed during normal cooking.
After 10 minutes without detected pot the cooking zone switches off automatically and can only be
activated again after returning the knob into the OFF position.
Control Lock function
The control lock is a device that protects the appliance from accidental or inappropriate use. With all
cooking zones turned off, simultaneously press and turn the first two left knobs counterwise in overwind
position “A”. They need to be hold in that position for a least 2s until the symbols “L” appear on the
displays, then release the knobs.
In order to deactivate the CL function repeat the same procedure as for activating.
After unlocking all knobs have to be turned back in the zero position (if any knob was in a position
different from zero). The control is than off and can be operated as expected.
NOTE: If the knobs are not hold in the OWL position for long enough the CL will not be enabled /
displayed. If the knobs are hold in that position for more than 30 seconds the input is considered to be
invalid and a error message “Permanent use of key” will be displayed (flash symbol ).
Residual Heat indication
Cooking zones which are already switched off can still have a hot glass surface. In order to warn and
protect users from burning themselves this condition is visualized, the residual heat measurement is
done from the temperature sensor of each inductive cooking zone..
When the measured temperature drops below 60°C on the glass the symbol indicating the hot surface
disappears.

6 - Advice on cooking
Some traditional methods of cooking, such as double boiler
(bain-marie) for creams, sauces, chocolate, etc. are no longer
necessary, because now you can cook these directly in the
pan, thanks to perfect power regulation and even temperature
distribution of the induction system.
You can use the “Booster” function with water and soups until
they boil, then use a lower level immediately to avoid too much
steam and to save energy.
When frying heat the oil to the highest power level, then turn
down if needed to a medium level when adding food to the
pan.
Always use pots and pans with a proper lid.
Reduce the selected power in the cooking area in time, in the
case of water do not let it boil unnecessarily for too long.
Always choose containers of an adequate size for the amount
of food to be cooked. A large pot which is not completely full
consumes a lot of energy.
For the best cooking results, metal pots and pans with a flat
bottom are recommended. Make sure the bottom of the pan
corresponds with the cooking area indicated on the glass.
To save energy cook vegetables and potatoes in a small
amount of water. Do not heat empty pans otherwise they may
be damaged and can also ruin the glass cooking area.

7 - Induction Cooktop Operation
Before using the cooktop for the first time
• All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to
remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may
have remained from the manufacturing process.
• Clean your glass top before the first time you use it. A
thorough cleaning with a glass top cleaner is recommended.
It only takes a minute and puts a clean, shiny coating on the
glass top before its initial use.
• There may be a slight odour during the first several uses: this
is normal and will disappear.
• Optimum cooking result depends on the proper cookware
being selected and used.
• The cooking surface will hold the heat and remain hot over
20 minutes after the elements have been turned off.
• The glass ceramic cooking surface is a durable material
resistant to impact but not unbreakable if a pan or other
object is dropped on it.
• Do nor allow pans to boil dry. This can damage the pan,
element and /or cooktop.
• Do not slide cookware across cooking surface it may scratch
the glass
Power Sharing
One generator controls 2 elements, or two/three cooking
zones within a heating section share the power of one
generator. Power Sharing is activated when both elements in
the same cooking zone are activated and one element is set for
Boost (P). The element that is not set for Boost will change to a
lower power level. This is called Power Sharing: The latest set
cooking level has priority.

INDUCTION
36”
IMPORTANT
Automatic Switch OFF
The induction hob has an automatic device which limits the
duration of use.
Depending on the chosen cooking level a maximum
operation time limitation is defined, the safety device will be
activated only if no change of cooking level is done. If this
maximum operating time is exceeded on a cooking zone
this cooking zone is being switched off, a short beep sounds
and if the zone is hot the “residual heat” symbol is showed.
In order to reactivate this cooking zone the control knob has
to be turned back into OFF position.

EN
12
IMPORTANT
Overheating status of cooking zone
If the hob is used on full power for a long period, the
electronics could have trouble cooling down if the room
temperature is high. To avoid excessively high temperatures
forming in the electronics, the power to the cooking zone is
managed automatically to protect itself.
Permanent use of keys
FAULT MESSAGE
If the knobs have been kept rotated in the “A” or “P” positions
for more than 30 seconds a fault message will appear on the
display.
Cookware “noise”
When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power
level settings, magnetic fields may interact and produce a low
whistle or intermitted “hum”. Pans that completely cover the
element ring will produce less noise. A low “humming” noise
is normal particularly on high settings. These noise can be
reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level
settings of one or both of the elements.

How INDUCTION heating works
There is an electronic circuit inside the induction hob which
powers and commands a coil. This creates a magnetic field
which activates when it comes into contact with suitable pots
and pans (magnetic material).
The pan on the hob warms up instantly, while the hob remains
cold.
There is no loss of heat. The heat generated in the pan lets you
cook quickly, saving time and emergy.

Pots and pans and how to use them
ATTENTION
There is an electronic circuit inside the induction hob must
be made of ferromagnetic material. They can be made of
enamaled steel, cast iron or special pans of stainless steel
for induction.
To make sure a pan is suitable, try using a magnet to see
if it sticks to the bottom of the pan. Never use normal thin
steel nor anything containing even just an amount of glass,
terracotta, copper or aluminum.
The display of the cooking area will show if the pan is
suitable, if the power Indicator flashes the pan is not suitable
or the diameter of the bottom is too small for the diameter of
the cooking area.
The pots and pans must be placed precisely in the middle of
the cooking area.
In some cooking areas an internal diameter is indicated,
with a lighter outline.
