Safety instructions
Installation
Warning! Only a qualified person
must install this appliance.
• Remove all the packaging.
• Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
• Obey the installation instruction supplied with
the appliance.
• Keep the minimum distance from the other
appliances and units.
• Always be careful when you move the
appliance because it is heavy. Always wear
safety gloves.
• Seal the cut surfaces with a sealant to prevent
moisture to cause swelling.
• Protect the bottom of the appliance from
steam and moisture.
• Do not install the appliance adjacent to a
door or under a window. This prevents hot
cookware to fall from the appliance when the
door or the window is opened.
• If the appliance is installed above drawers
make sure that the space, between the
bottom of the appliance and the upper
drawer, is sufficient for air circulation.
• Make sure that the ventilation space of 2 mm,
between the worktop and the front of the
below unit, is free. The warranty does not
cover damages caused by the lack of an
adequate ventilation space.
• The bottom of the appliance can get hot. We
recommend to install a non-combustile
separation panel under the appliance to
prevent access to the bottom.
Electrical connection
Warning! Risk of fire and
electrical shock.
• All electrical connections must be made by a
qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be earthed.
• Before carrying out any operation make sure
that the appliance is disconnected from the
power supply.
• Use the correct electricity mains cable.
• Do not let the electricity mains cable tangle.
• Make sure the mains cable or plug (if
applicable) does not touch the hot appliance
or hot cookware, when you connect the
appliance to the near sockets
• Make sure the appliance is installed correctly.
Loose and incorrect electricity mains cable or
plug (if applicable) can make the terminal
become too hot.
• Make sure that a shock protection is installed.
• Use the strain relief clamp on cable.
• Make sure not to cause damage to the mains
plug (if applicable) or to the mains cable.
Contact the Service or an electrician to
change a damaged mains cable.
• The electrical installation must have an
isolation device which lets you disconnect the
appliance from the mains at all poles. The
isolation device must have a contact opening
width of minimum 3 mm.
• Use only correct isolation devices: line
protecting cut-outs, fuses (screw type fuses
removed from the holder), earth leakage trips
and contactors.

Helpful hints and tips
INDUCTION COOKING ZONES
For induction cooking zones a strong electro-
magnetic field creates the heat in the cookware
very quickly.
Cookware for induction cooking
zones
Important! Use the induction cooking
zones with correct cookware.
Cookware material
•correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-layer
(with correct mark from a manufacturer).
•not correct: aluminium, copper, brass, glass,
ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob
if …
• ... some water boils very quickly on a zone set
to the highest heat setting.
• ... a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as possible.
Cookware dimensions: induction cooking
zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of
the cookware automatically to some limit.
Use of the cooking zones
Important!
IMPORTANT
Put the cookware on the cross which is on the
surface that you cook. Cover the cross fully. The
magnetic part of the bottom of the cookware
must be 125 mm minimum. Induction cooking
zones adapt to the dimension of the bottom of
the cookware automatically. You can cook with
the large cookware on two cooking zones at the
same time.
The noises during operation
If you can hear
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (Sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use one or more cooking
zones with high power levels and the
cookware is made of different materials
(Sandwich construction).
• humming: you use high power levels.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer
to appliance malfunction.
Energy saving
How to save energy
• If it is possible, always put the lids on the
cookware.
• Put cookware on a cooking zone before you
start it.
• Use the residual heat to keep the food warm
or to melt it.
Hob user manual 13

The cooking zone efficiency
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a
smaller diameter than the minimum receives
only a part of the power generated by the
cooking zone. For the minimum diameters see
the Technical Information chapter.
The Examples of cooking
applications
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.
It means that the cooking zone with the medium
heat setting uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance
only.

Care and cleaning
Clean the appliance after each use.
Always use cookware with clean bottom.
Scratches or dark stains on the glass-
ceramic cause no effect on how the
appliance operates.

plastic foil, and food with sugar. If not,
the dirt can cause damage to the
appliance. Use a special scraper for the
glass . Put the scraper on the glass
surface at an acute angle and move the
blade on the surface .
–Remove after the appliance is
sufficiently cool: limescale rings , water
rings, fat stains, shiny metallic
discolorations. Use a special cleaning
agent for glass ceramic or stainless steel.
2. Clean the appliance with a moist cloth and
some detergent.
3. At the end rub the appliance dry with a
clean cloth.

because a cookware boils dry. The
overheating protection for the
cooking zones and the Automatic
Switch Off operate.
Deactivate the appliance. Remove
the hot cookware. After,
approximately 30 seconds, activate
the cooking zone again. If the
cookware was the problem, the
error message goes out of the
display, but the residual heat
indicator can stay. Let the cookware
become sufficiently cool and refer
to “Cookware for the induction
cooking zone” to see if your
cookware is compatible with the
appliance.
If you tried the above solutions and cannot
repair the problem, speak to your dealer or the
customer service. Give the data from the rating
plate, three digit letter code for the glass
ceramic (it is in the corner of the glass surface)
and an error message that comes on.
Make sure, you operated the appliance
correctly. If not the servicing by a customer
service technician or dealer will not be free of
charge, also during the warranty period. The
