SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - RECOMMENDATIONS
• It is strongly recommended to keep children away from the cooking zones while they
are in operation or when they are switched off, so long as the residual heat indicator is
on, in order to prevent the risks of serious burns.
• When cooking with fats or oils, take care always to watch the cooking process as
heated fats and oils can catch fire rapidly.
• Aluminium foil and plastic containers must not be placed on the hot surfaces.
• The cooking heat zone equipping the ceramic hob gives off a strong light, do not stare
at the heat source lamps.
• After every use, some cleaning of the top is necessary to prevent the build up of dirt
and grease. If left, this is recooked when the hob is used and burns giving off smoke
and unpleasant smells, not to mention the risks of fire propagation.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR HOB.We recommend you keep
theinstructions forinstallationand use forlater reference, and before installingthehob,
note its serial number below in case you need to get help from the after sales service.
. Identification plate (located under the hob’s bottom casing)
• The hob’s control area is sensitive, do not place hot containers on it.
• Never cook directly on the hob surface, use pots and pans.
•Always centre the pan well on the cooking zone used.
• Do not use the hob surface as a cutting board, or work top.
• Do not slide pans on the hob: risk of scratching.
• Do not store heavy objects above the hob, they can fall and damage it.
• Do not store any objects whatever on the hob.
•Inthe unlikely eventof a crack appearing onthe glass, immediatelydisconnect the unit
from the mains and contact the after-sales service directly.

CHOOSING UTENSILS
You should use high quality utensils to obtain good cooking results:
• Use high quality utensils with flat and thick bottoms: a very flat bottom eliminates
hot spots causing food to stick, and the thickness of the metal gives excellent heat
distribution.
• Make sure that utensil bottoms are dry: when you fill the container or use a pan
straightout of the fridge,forexample, make surethatit is dry;thischeck will stop anydirt
getting on the cooking surface.
• Use pans big enough to fully cover the heat source: it is best to make sure that
the bottom is at least as large as the cooking zone. If the bottom is slightly larger, the
energy is used most efficiently.
The high light cooking zone
A metal conducting strip is uniformly distributed over the entire surface area of the
cooking zone. Effective in three seconds and is for regular uniform cooking, but also
sustained cooking.

The control panel tells the user when the surface temperature of the cooking zones
exceeds about 60°C, by the following displaying: .
For ending the cooking, we advise switching off the cooking zone and using the
residual heat of the zone to finish cooking gently.
When the temperature goes back below 60°C, the display goes off.
N.B.After a cut in the current, the residual heat indicator disappears completely, even
if the surface temperature exceeds 60°C.
• PAN DETECTOR
The pan detector is only fitted to hobs with double cooking zones.
When the hob is operating, the pan detector provides the advantage of automatically
stopping or starting the heat of the cooking zone in contact with or on removal of the
pan. It therefore offers energy savings. It also adapts the surface area of the cooking
zone according to the size of the pan.
If the cooking zone is used with a suitable pan*: the display shows the heat level. If the
additional cooking zone is live (according to the size of the pan), a LED displays near
the zone selection button.
* the material of the pan’s bottom must be suitable, see table on page 9.

• It is important to wait for the ceramic hob surface to cool completely before cleaning it.
• Only use special products for cleaning ceramic surfaces, cream and scraper. You can
find them easily in the shops.
•Avoid spills; messes that fall onto the cooking surface burn fast and are then harder to
clean off.
• It is recommended to keep away from the cooking surface anything likely to melt like
plastic articles, sugar or products with a high sugar content.
CLEANING:
. Sprinkle a few drops of special ceramic surface cleaner.
. Rub, working hard on any stained parts, using slightly damp soft cloth or kitchen roll.
. Rinse if necessary.
. Wipe with dry soft cloth or kitchen roll until the surface is clean.
If stains remain after this usual cleaning:
. Sprinkle a few more drops of special cleaner.
. Use a scraper, keeping it at an angle of 30°
to the hob, until the difficult marks go.
Rinse if necessary.
. Wipe with dry soft cloth or kitchen
roll until the surface is clean.
. Repeat if necessary.
ADVICE:
Regular cleaning leaves an protective layer that is essential to prevent scratches and
wear.
Make sure that the surface is clean before using the hob again.
To remove traces of water and scale, use a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice.
Rinse and dry off using absorbent paper, and then apply a few drops of special cleaner
and wipe.
