BEFORE USE
IMPORTANT: The cooking zones will not switch on if pots are not the right size. Only use pots bearing the
symbol “INDUCTION SYSTEM” (Figure below) or enameled pots. Place the pot on the required cooking
zone before switching the hob on.
EXISTING POTS AND PANS
Use a magnet to check if the pot is suitable for the induction hob: pots and pans are unsuitable if not
magnetically detectable.
Make sure pots have a smooth bottom, otherwise they could scratch the hob. Check dishes.
Never place hot pots or pans on the surface of the hob’s control panel. This could result in damage.
The bottom diameter of pots or pans should be at least 10cm.

CONTROL PANEL WARNINGS
Residual heat indicator
The hob is fitted with a residual heat indicator for each cooking zone. These indicators alert the user
when cooking zones are still hot.
If the display shows , the cooking zone is still hot. If the residual heat indicator of a given cooking zone is
lit, that zone can be used, for example, to keep a dish warm or to melt butter.
When the cooking zone cools down, the display goes off.
Incorrect or missing pot indicator – Error code “E0”
If you are using a pot that is not suitable, not correctly positioned or not of the correct dimensions for
your induction hob, the symbol ”E0” mean “no pot” will appear in the display (see figure at side). If

Note: The data in the table is for guidance only. The relation between the heat setting and the
cooking zone consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting it is not
proportional to the increase of the cooking zone consumption of power.
The power of the cooking zones can be different in some small range. It changes with the material and
dimensions of the cookware.

NOISES MADE BY THE HOB
Induction hobs can make whistling or crackling sounds during normal operation, these actually come from
the pots and pans as a result of the characteristics of the bottoms (for example, bottoms made of several
layers of material, or uneven bottoms). These noises vary depending on the pots and pans used and the
amount of food they contain, and are not indicative of a defect of any kind.
In addition, the induction hob is equipped with an internal cooling system to control the temperature of
electronic parts; as a result, during operation and for several minutes after the hob has been switched off,
the noise of the cooling fan will be audible. This is perfectly normal and indeed essential for proper
functioning of the appliance.
AFTER-SALES SERVICE
Before contacting the After-sales Service:
1. See if you can solve the problem yourself with the help of the “Troubleshooting guide”.
2. Switch the appliance off and then on again it to see if the problem has been eliminated.
If the problem persists after the above checks, contact the nearest After-Sales Service.
Always specify:
a brief description of the fault
the product type and exact model
your full address
your telephone number
If any repairs are required, contact an authorized After-Sales Service Centre (to ensure the use of original
spare parts and correct repairs). Spare parts are available.
Energy saving
For optimum results, it is advisable to:
Use pots and pans with bottom width equal to that of the cooking zone.
Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans.
When possible, keep pot lids on during cooking.
Use a pressure cooker to save even more energy and time.
Place the pot in the middle of the cooking zone marked on the hob.
