Start-up and use
The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of
grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we
recommend you remove these with a special non-
abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours
of use there may be a smell of rubber which will
disappear very quickly.
A few seconds after the hob is connected to the
electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may
now be switched on.
If the - or + button is pressed for an extended
period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the
power levels and timer minutes.
Switching on the hob
To switch the hob on, press and hold the button
for approximately one second.
Switching on the cooking zones
Each cooking zone is controlled using a selector
button and a power adjustment device
consisting of power level selector buttons between
the values of 0 and 9.
To begin operating a cooking zone, press the
corresponding control button and set the desired
power level using the power level selector buttons
between 0 and 9.
Switching off the cooking zones
To switch off a cooking zone, select it using the
corresponding selector button and:
Press power level selector button 0: this
immediately returns the power setting to 0 and the
cooking zone switches off.
ower function
The power function for the cooking zones may be
used to shorten heating-up times. Activate and set
the power level for the desired cooking zone as
described in the previous paragraph. Press and hold
the selector button corresponding to the desired
cooking zone for at least 2 seconds. The
display, the power level indicator, will alternately
show the letter P and the power level set
previously until the desired power level has been
reached. Once this level has been reached, the
display will revert to showing the set power level. To
deactivate this function, press and hold for at least
2 seconds - the selector button corresponding to the
cooking zone on which the function has been
activated; alternatively, select a different power level
between 0 and 9 using the power level selector
buttons.
Heating elements
Two types of heating element may be installed,
depending on the appliance model: halogen and
radiant elements.
Halogen elements emit heat via radiation from the
halogen lamps they contain.
They have similar properties to gas burners: they are
easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly,
allowing you to see the power level instantly.
Radiant elements consist of a series of coils which
allow heat to be distributed evenly at the base of the
cookware, so that all slow-flame cooking may be
performed successfully, for example stews, sauces
or reheated dishes.

All the cooking zones may be programmed
simultaneously, for a duration between 1 and 99
minutes.
1. Select the cooking zone using the corresponding
selector button.
2. Adjust the temperature.
3. Press the programming button.
4. Set the cooking duration using the - and +
buttons.
5. Confirm by pressing the button.
The timer begins counting down immediately. A
buzzer sounds for approximately 1 minute and the
cooking zone switches off when the set programme
