TABLE OF

386672
Induction cooking is extremely safe. Various safety devices
have been incorporated in the hob such as a residual heat
indicator and a cooking time limiter. There are nevertheless
a number of precautions you should take.
• This appliance may only be connected by a qualified
installer.
• Never open the casing. The casing may only be opened
by the service technician.
• Disconnect the electricity from the appliance before
starting any repair work Preferably unplug the
appliance, switch the (automatic) fuse(s) o or, in the
event of a permanent connection, set the switch in the
power supply lead to zero.
• Do not use the hob in temperatures below 5°C.
• This cooking appliance is designed for household use. It
is to be used for food preparation only.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice
a “new smell”. This is normal. If the kitchen is well
ventilated the smell will soon disappear.
• Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting
the heating time will be incredibly short. Do not leave
the hob unattended if you are using a zone on a high
setting.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation while the hob is in
use. Keep all natural ventilation openings open
• Do not allow pans to boil dry. The hob itself is protected
against overheating but the pan will get very hot indeed
and could be damaged. The guarantee does not cover
any damage caused by a pan boiling dry.
• Do not use the cooking area as storage space
• Ensure that there is several centimetres clearance
between the hob and the contents of the drawer.
• Do not keep anything combustible in the drawer under
the hob.
• Make sure that flexes of electrical appliances, such as a
mixer, cannot touch the hot cooking zone.
• The zones heat up during use and stay hot for a while
afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob
during and immediately after cooking.
• Grease and oil are inflammable when overheated. Do
not stand too close to the pan. Should oil catch fire,
never try to extinguish the fire with water. Put a lid on
the pan immediately and switch the cooking zone o.
• Never flambé food under the cooker hood. The high

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

flames could cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is
switched o.
• The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not
unbreakable. A spice jar or pointed utensil falling on it,
for example, could cause it to break.
• Stop using the hob if a break or crack appears. Switch
the appliance o immediately, unplug it to avoid electric
shocks, and call the service department.
• Never put any metal objects such as baking trays,
biscuit tins, saucepan lids or cutlery on the cooking
zone. These can heat up extremely quickly and cause
burns.
• Keep magnetizable objects (credit cards, bank cards,
floppy disks, etc.) away from the appliance. We advise
anyone with a pacemaker to consult their cardiologist
before using an induction hob.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean
the hob.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the
cooking zone automatically stops. Accustom yourself
to stop the cooking zone or hob manually to avoid
unintended switching on of the induction hob.
• A small object like a pan that is too small (diameter of
bottom smaller than 12 cm), a fork or a knife will not be
recognised by the appliance. The display continues to
flash and the hob will not switch on.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means
of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
• A sensor continuously measures the temperature of
certain parts of the hob. Every cooking zone is equipped
with a sensor that measures the temperature of the
bottom of the pan to avoid any risk of overheating when
a pan boils dry. In case of temperatures rising too high,
the power is reduced automatically.
The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your
cooking appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch
o your hob.
Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking
time will be limited as follows:

Description

386672
Using touch sensors
The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a
fingertip.
You do not have to apply any pressure. Do not operate the
controls with any other objects. The hob will not switch on
when your pet walks over it.
Induction cooking
• Induction cooking is fast
- To start you will be surprised by the speed of
induction cooking. Especially at higher settings, foods
and liquids will boil very rapidly. It is best not to leave
pans unattended to avoid them boiling over or boiling
dry.
• The power will be adjusted
- In the case of induction cooking, it is only the part of
the zone on which the pan stands that is used. If you
use a small pan on a large zone, the power will be
adjusted to the diameter of the pan. The power will
thus be lower and it will take longer before the food in
the pan comes to the boil.
Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot
be removed. Only put pans with a clean base on
the cooking surface and always pick pans up to
move them.
Do not use the hob as a worktop. Always keep
the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid
energy loss.
No heat loss and cold handles
with induction cooking.
