USE OF THE APPLIANCE
Sensitive touch
Your ceramic hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger
presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a
controllight,aletteroranumberinthedisplayand/ora“beep”sound.
In the case of a general use press only one key at a time.
Display
Display Designation Description
0. Zero The heating zone is activated.
1…9 Power level Selection of the cooking level.
U No pan detection No pan or inadequate pan.
A Heat accelerator Automatic cooking.
E Error message Electronic failure.
H Residual heat The heating zone is hot.
P Power The boosted power is activated.
L Locking Control panel locking.
U Keep warm Maintain automatically of 70°C.
II Stop&Go The hob is in pause.
Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automated. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories
brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts its high speed
when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces its speed and stops automatically
when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.
STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Before the first use
Clean your hob with a damp cloth and dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which
risks causing blue-tinted colour on the ceramic glass surface.
Induction principle
An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable
electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the
pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be magnetic:
All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify by using a small manget): cast
iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms.
Exclusions: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware.
The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. If the diameter is too
small, thepandoesn’twork.Thisdiameterwill vary the function of the heating zone diameter.
If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].

case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol
disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone.
If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows
[ U ]. The symbol [ U ] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The
cooking continues with the power level set before.
