HOW INDUCTION HEATING WORKS
INDUCTION
Heating by induction is the most efficient form of cooking available.
The heat is generated by an electromagnetic field, directly on the bottom of the pan or pot used.
The surface which is free from contact remains virtually cold.
When the cooking time is up and the container is removed, there is no residual heat. It is
efficient because there is no waste of energy due to dispersion, as happens with gas burners. It is
30 to 50% faster than normal cooktops using HGL technology and allows energy savings of up to
25%.
If liquid overflows from the container, it does not stick to the surface of the cooktop, because
this is just slightly warm.
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
This is based on the electromagnetic properties of most cooking containers.
The electronic circuit governs the operation of the coil (inductor), creating a magnetic field.
The heat is transmitted by the container to the food.
The cooking process takes place as follows:
• Minimum dispersion (high performance);
• Removing of the pan (simply lifting it) automatically stops the system;
• The electronic system allows maximum flexibility and precision of regulation.

EN
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.
If present, remove all packing and literature from the cooktop surface.
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 odor during the first several uses - this is normal and will disappear.
• Optimum cooking results depend on the proper cookware being selected and used.
• The cooking surface can get hot from the cookware and remain hot for some time after
cooking zones 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 not 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
• Using cast iron cookware on the glass cooktop is not recommended. Cast iron retains heat
and may result in cooktop damage.
POWER SHARING
Four burner cooktops are divided into two separate heating zones.
Five burner cooktops are divided into 3 zones. One generator controls 2 elements, or two
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.
COOKWARE “NOISE”
When using adjacent elements that are set at certain power level setting, 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 noises can be reduced or eliminated by lowering or raising the power level
settings of one or both of elements.

USING THE INDUCTION COOKTOP
To begin, position the pan in the chosen cooking zone. The control will indicate that a pan is
detected. If no pan is detected, the system cannot start.
PAN DETECTION
The cooktop will detect a pan in any of the cooking zones. The system will only apply power to
a cooking zone where a pan is detected.

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
This warns the user that the glass is hot in the cooking zone. The temperature is determined
using a mathematical model and any residual heat is indicated with an “H” on the corresponding
display.
Heating and cooling are calculated from the power level selected (from “0“ to “9“) and the relay
activation period.
After switching a cooking zone off, its display shows an “H” until the computed temperature in
the zone falls below 140°F [60°C].
USER INSTRUCTIONS

EN
PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL SWITCHING ON
If a key is activated for about 10 seconds, the buzzer begins sounding until the key is released.
The display shows an error code, which remains until the selector key for that zone is touched
and released.
• If no cooking zone is activated within 10 seconds of switching on the touch control, the
control returns to stand-by mode.
The ON/OFF key takes priority over all other keys, so the touch control can be switched off at
any time, even in the case of multiple or continuous activation of the keys.
In stand-by mode, continuous activation of the keys will have no effect. However, before the
electronic control can be switched on again, it must acknowledge that no key is active.
If the cooking zone has been in use and is hot, an “H” will appear on the display after the zone
is turned off. It turns off after the zone has cooled.
PRECAUTIONS
• If there is even the tiniest crack in the ceramic glass surface, immediately disconnect the
cooktop from the electricity supply;
• during operation, move any magnetic materials such as credit cards, computer disks,
calculators, etc., away from the zone;
• never use cooking foil or rest products wrapped in foil directly on the cooktop;
• metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids must not be rested on the surface of
the cooktop to prevent them from heating up;
• when cooking with non-stick cookware, without using water or oil, limit any preheating
time to one or two minutes;
• when cooking foods which tend to stick to the bottom of the pan, start at minimum power
and gradually increase the heat, stirring frequently;
• after use, turn off element manually (decreasing to “0”) rather than relying on the pan
detection sensor.
PANS
If a magnet is attracted to the bottom of your cookware then it is suitable for induction
cooking.
• Try to use pans declared as suitable for induction cooking;
• flat, thick-bottomed pans will perform most effectively;
• a 8” [20 cm] diameter saucepan can benefit from maximum power;
• a small saucepan reduces the power but will not cause energy dispersion. The use of
cookware with a diameter of less than 3” [12 cm] is not recommended;
• stainless steel cookware with multilayer bottom or ferrite stainless steel if the bottom
indicates: for induction;
• cast iron containers, better with an enamelled bottom to avoid scratching the ceramic glass
cooktop;
• containers made of glass, ceramic, terracotta, aluminium, copper or non-magnetic stainless
steel (austenitic) are not recommended and are unsuitable unless using a Hestan-supplied or
approved adapter kit.

MAINTENANCE
Traces of foil, food residues, splashes of fat, sugar or very sugary foods must be removed
immediately from the cooktop using a scraper to avoid damaging the cooktop surface. Then clean
with a proper ceran top cleaner and kitchen paper, rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.
Never use abrasive sponges or clothes and avoid using aggressive chemical cleansers such as OVEN
SPRAYS or STAIN REMOVERS. DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANERS
TURNING THE COOKTOP ON AND OFF
The cooktop is turned on by touching the On/Off key (1), you will hear a short beep and the
corresponding led lights up. After switching on, the touch control remains active for 10 seconds.
If you do not select either a cooking zone or the timer, the touch control automatically returns to
stand-by mode.
ACOUSTIC SIGNAL (BUZZER)
During use, the following activities are signalled by a buzzer:
• Normal touching of the keys with a short beep.
• If a key is held for more than 10 seconds, the buzzer will sound and an error symbol is displayed.
TURNING ON A COOKING ZONE
Position a pot and touch the selector key (8) for the cooking zone. Slide your finger on the power
slider to the right to increase the cooking level (10), or slide your finger to the left to decrease it (9).
If a pot is not detected in the cooking zone, the display for that zone will alternate between the
selected power level and the “missing pan” symbol.
TURNING OFF A COOKING ZONE
A single cooking zone can be turned off directly by touching the selector key (8) for the cooking
zone that is working. Hot cooking zones will be displayed with a letter “H”. You can turn off all
cooking zones immediately at any time using the power On/ Off key (1). If, during cooking, you
inadvertently turn off the surface while using the controls, you can turn it on again with the On/Off
key and you will have 6 seconds to touch the PAUSE key (6) that will be indicated by the (7) flashing
of an indicator light above the key; doing so will turn the surface on again with the same settings it
had before it was accidentally turned off.
POWER LEVEL
The power level of the cooking zone can be set from level 1 to level 9. A further level P (Power
Booster) is available that allows a very rapid heating of food and, therefore, saves you time.
When the automatic preheating function is active, the power level shows a numeric value
alternating with the letter “A”. See next page for more information.
USER INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

EN
BOOSTER AND POWER MANAGEMENT
The power of a cooking zone can be “boosted” for a certain period of time. With Booster
enabled, an individual cooking zone is heated with power that is significantly higher than the
rated power. When the Booster function is active, the display of the selected cooking zone
shows a “P”. The Booster function can be activated by touching at the end of the power slider
of the cooking zone (11). The power increase is different depending on the size of the cooking
zone:
For a cooking zone with a diameter of 5 3/4” [145 mm], the power goes from a level 9 of 1400 W
to the Booster level of 2200 W for 10 minutes.
For a cooking zone with a diameter of 7” [180 mm], the power goes from a level 9 of 1850 W to
the Booster level of 3000 W for 10 minutes.
For a rectangular cooking zone 7 1/2” x 8 1/2” [190 mm x 220 mm], the power goes from a level 9
of 2000 W to the Booster level of 3600 W for 10 minutes.
For a cooking zone with a diameter of 11” [280 mm], the power goes from a level 9 of 2300 W to
the Booster level of 3600 W for 10 minutes.
For safety reasons, the Booster function has a limited duration (10 min), after 10 min the zone is
reduced to level 9.
If the cooking vessel is removed from the cooking zone during the Booster time, the Booster
remains active and the Booster time is not deactivated. With the Booster activated, changing the
value set with your finger in the power slider zone deactivates the Booster. The Booster function
“P” can be activated in all cooking zones, but priority is given to the last Booster activated,
reducing any other cooking levels.

BRIDGE FUNCTION (FOR LARGE PANS)
This function facilitates cooking with elongated pans, and is only available for the 36” cooktop’s
rectangular cooking zones. Activate bridge mode by simultaneously touching the power sliders
of the two cooking zones involved. The icon will light up next to the bridged cook zone
displays.
Once set to bridge mode, both cooking zones are controlled from the left power slider.
To disable bridge mode, touch both slider controls simultaneously at any point along the
adjustment bars.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS (LOW TEMP)
This function is available in each cooking zone and its activation is indicated by one of the two
dedicated icons (17 & 18). It is possible to activate 2 “cooking” levels:
Melting with a temperature of approximately 113°F [45°C].
Simmering with a temperature of approximately 158°F [70°C].
These temperatures are approximate and are greatly dependent
on the pot and the quantity of food. After turning on the desired
cooking zone by touching the selector key (8), touch the initial part
of the power slider zone (9) to activate the MELT function. To switch to the SIMMER function
touch the power slider in the same position for a couple of seconds.
Both low temperature functions operate for a maximum of 2 hours.

CONTROL LOCK (CHILD SAFETY)
It can only be activated when the appliance is on but no cooking zone is in operation.
1. Simultaneously touch the LOCK key (5) and the PAUSE key (6).
2. Touch the LOCK key (5).
• The letter “L” will appear on both displays for 10 seconds and then they will turn off.
When you try to turn on the cooking surface with the On/Off key (1), the letters “L” will be
displayed and it will not be possible to cook.
DEACTIVATING CONTROL LOCK
There are two types of unlocking, as follows:
UNLOCKING FOR ONE TIME ONLY
1. Turn on the cooking surface.
2. Touch the PAUSE (6) and LOCK (5) keys at the same time.
• The letters L disappear and all the zones are enabled.
• If you turn off the cooking surface after use, when it is turned on again, the letters L will
be displayed to indicate that the surface is locked. Essentially, the cooktop will be safety
locked automatically whenever not in use and the special key combination described above
will be needed each time to use.
PERMANENT UNLOCKING:
1. Turn on the cooking surface
2. Touch the PAUSE (6) and LOCK (5) keys at the same time.
3. Then release these two keys and touch the PAUSE key (6) again.
LOCK
To disable the other controls, touch the LOCK key (5). The light above the key illuminates, and
all controls except the cooking zone selector keys (8) and On/Off key (1) are disabled.
• When the LOCK key is active, a cooking zone selector key will only act to turn its zone off.
This may be useful to lock the keypad for cleaning the control zone, or if during operation when
you do not want to change any settings.
PAUSE
This cooking surface allows setting a pause (6) during cooking (which is useful, for example,
when answering a phone call). When this function is touched, an LED lights above the key and
the symbol “II” is displayed in all the cooking zones and the cooking settings and timers are
frozen for a maximum of 10 minutes, after which the cooking surface turns off.
DEACTIVATING PAUSE
Once activated, the function can be deactivated as follows:
1. Touch the PAUSE key (6) again. The LED for the pause setting turns off
2. Within 10 seconds, you must slide your finger along the power slider below the illuminated
zone (from left to right).
This allows the surface to resume cooking and the timer starts from the same point at which it
was stopped.

TIMER FUNCTION
NOTE: the timer is only intended as an acoustic advisor that recalls the attention of the user.
• Timers have no effect on the heating elements. Cooking zones must always be stopped
manually by touching the corresponding [OFF] key.
There are two versions of the timer function:
An independent timer from 1 to 59 minutes: it beeps when the time has run out. This function
is always available and is indicated by the clock symbol (24) which is located between the − and
+ keys (the symbol may be less bright if another cooking zone timer has a remaining time that is
less than that set on the independent timer).
A zone timer from 1 to 59 minutes for each cooking zone: it beeps when the time has run out.
The cooking zones can be programmed independently (the symbol may be less bright if another
cooking zone timer has a remaining time that is less than that set on the independent timer).
There’s a zone timer indicator in each zone display. The timer with the least time is highlighted
and the related clock icon is brighter (13-24). The other timer settings are still active and
running, but the clock icon (13-24) will be less bright. Another icon with the word “min” (23)
appears when you set times longer than 10 minutes. For example 0.11 indicates 0 hours and 11
minutes. The separator dot (21) flashes when the timer is running, while the dot is static while
the timer is selected and thus modifiable.
INDEPENDENT TIMER
If the touch display is on, the independent timer can be used by simultaneously touching the +
and − keys. If all the cooking zones are in position “0”, this is the only timer available. The clock
icon (24) will turn on and the display will show “0.00”. If you do not select any key, the timer
deactivates within 5 seconds.
The time setting (0-1hour 59min) can be changed in increments of one minute with the + key
from 0 to 99.
Holding down the +or − key dynamically increases the rate of change up to a maximum value,
without beeps.
If the + (or −) key is released, the rate of increase (decrease) starts again from the initial value.
The timer can be set by either continuously touching the + or − keys or by touching successively
(with beeps).
After the timer is set, it begins to count down. The completion of the time is signalled by a
beep or by the flashing of the timer display, which will show “00”.
TURNING OFF/CHANGING THE TIMER

PROGRAMMING THE TIMER FOR THE COOKING ZONES
By turning on the touch display, you can program an independent timer for each cooking zone.
At least one cooking zone must be on and set to a certain level.
By touching the +and −keys simultaneously, you can set a countdown for turning off the
cooking zone. There are illuminated clock icons (13) next to the display of the cooking zone.
To set the timer on a cooking zone when there are more than one cooking zone on, you must
touch the +and −keys simultaneously. You will note that the clock icon will light and move to
successive cooking zones each time you simultaneously touch the +and −keys.
When the timer of the cooking zone is selected, the related clock icon near the display becomes
brighter (13). The timers programmed for each cooking zone remain active.
Other functions of the timer are the same as the independent timer. To increase the time, use
the +(plus) key.
The beeping and flashing of the display stops automatically after 2 minutes.
When you touch the +or −keys, the timer display turns off.
