Do not use abrasive cleaners, hard objects such as brushes or scrapers, or sharp metal tools to clean
the ceramic top. Scratches could cause the glass to shatter.
Wait until the appliance is completely cool before using any aerosol-type cleaners. Many of these
cleaners use flammable propellants which could ignite in the presence of heat. Some cleaners can
produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
PROPER USAGEPROPER USAGE
Do not heat unopened containers (cans) on the rangetop. Pressure may build up causing the
container to explode, resulting in damage to the appliance or personal injury.
Only certain types of metallic cookware will work with the surface elements. They must be
magnetic-based materials, such as magenetic stainless steel, or fully clad cookware. See COOKWARE
RECOMMENDATIONS on page 11.
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, etc. should not be used on the surface
elements. Elongated pans that span across 2 elements should be used with care and on medium to
low settings. This “Bridge” feature is available only on the 36” model and is described in detail later
in this manual.
Always position the handles of pot and pans so they do not extend over adjacent work areas or over
the edge of the rangetop. This is to avoid knocking over hot contents which could burn you, or
result in a fire.

HOW INDUCTION HEATING WORKSHOW INDUCTION HEATING WORKS
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 almost 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 rangetops using natural or propane gas technology and allows energy
savings of up to 25%.
If liquid overflows from the container, it does not stick to the surface of the rangetop, because this is
just slightly warm.
OPERATING PRINCIPLEOPERATING 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.

FIRST TIME OPERATION - INDUCTION RANGETOPFIRST TIME OPERATION - INDUCTION RANGETOP
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. Ensure there are no remaining
packaging materials and remove any labels or plastic film from the outside of the appliance.
If present, remove all packing and literature from the rangetop surface.
Clean your ceramic 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. See
COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS on page 11.
• 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 rangetop.
• Do not slide cookware across cooking surface, it may scratch the glass
• Using cast iron cookware on the glass rangetop is not recommended. Cast iron retains heat and
may result in rangetop damage.
POWER SHARINGPOWER SHARING
Four element rangetops are divided into two separate generator zones. Five element rangetops are
divided into 3 generator zones. One generator controls 2 elements. Power Sharing is activated when
both elements in the same generator 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 and
is intended for safety reasons to prevent an overload of the main power coming into the appliance.
COOKWARE “NOISE”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.

COOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONSCOOKWARE RECOMMENDATIONS
As previously stated on page 6 of the SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS section of this manual,
bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie
sheets, etc. should not be used on the surface
elements. Elongated pans that span across
2 elements should be used with care and on
medium to low settings.
Do not cook on aluminum foil or thin,
disposable aluminum pans. These can melt.
Never let a pot boil dry. If left too long, the
pan could melt, or damage the appliance.
Use only high-quality pans with metal handles.
Some plastic handles could melt from the
intense heat.
Compatible pots and pans are frequently
labeled as “Induction-Ready” on the bottom of
the pan. If a magnet clings to the bottom of
your pan, it will work on an induction cooktop.
If it clings softly, it may not work very well.
Multi-layer or fully clad pans, and non-stick
pans with a magnetic base will also work. The
magnet test will help you choose.
Cast iron pans will work, but are not
recommeneded as they retain a lot of heat
even when the element is off, and can easily
scratch the glass ceramic surface. However,
porcelain coated cookware may be acceptable.

TURNING OFF A COOKING ZONETURNING OFF A COOKING ZONE
A single cooking zone can be turned off directly by touching the selector key (5) 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 (9). See PAUSE
function on page 12 for details.
POWER LEVELPOWER 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. See
BOOSTER AND POWER MANAGEMENT for more information.
When the automatic preheating function is active, the power level shows a numeric value alternating
with the letter “A”. See AUTOMATIC HEATING for more information.
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 DETECTIONPAN DETECTION
The rangetop 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. If a pan is not detected in the cooking
zone, the display for that zone will alternate between the selected power level and the “missing pan”
symbol.
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORRESIDUAL 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 related
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]. This feature exists for obvious safety reasons.
PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL SWITCHING ONPROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL SWITCHING ON
If a key is continuously activated for about 10 seconds, it switches off automatically. A buzzer
begins sounding warning the user of the presence of an object on the sensors. The displays show the
permanent error code, which will be displayed as long as the electronic control senses the error. If
the cooking zone “burns”, an “H” will appear on the display, alternating with the error signal.
• 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.
PRECAUTIONSPRECAUTIONS
• If there is even the tiniest crack in the ceramic glass surface, immediately disconnect the rangetop
from the electricity supply. DO NOT COOK on a cracked or broken ceramic glass surface.
Cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
Hestan Customer care to arrange for service.
• 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 rangetop.
USER INSTRUCTIONS - INDUCTION RANGETOP (CONT.)

• Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids must not be rested on the surface of the
rangetop to prevent them from heating up and possibly burning you when touched.
• 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.
PANSPANS
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 best. Any
concave or convex bottoms
will not make effective
contact with the induction
coils and result in poor performance. Proper relationship of utensil to induction element will also
improve efficiency.
• Always use a pan of roughly the same diameter as the element on the induction surface.
• An 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
rangetop.
• Containers made of glass, ceramic, terracotta, aluminium, copper or non-magnetic stainless steel
(austenitic) are not recommended and are unsuitable.
SPECIAL FUNCTIONSSPECIAL FUNCTIONS

• 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 cooking zone with a diameter of 10-1/4” [260 mm], the power goes from a level 9 of 2600
W to the Booster level of 3700 W for 10 minutes.
• For a rectangular cooking zone 7-1/2” x 8-3/4” [185 mm x 220 mm], the power goes from a level 9
of 2100 W to the Booster level of 3700 W for 10 minutes.
For safety reasons, the Booster function has a limited duration (10 minutes) for all zones. After 10
minutes 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.
Note: Due to the high temperatures, do not use the Booster function for
rapidly heating oil or fat, as it may start to burn.

• An independent timer (similar to an egg timer) with a range of 1 min. to 9h 59 min. OR from 1 h
59 min. At less than 10 min., the display will countdown accurate to the second. After the time
has run out, a signal tone will be emitted.
