Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the heat
created by the electronic system reaches 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 then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent: this
may cause blue-tinted colour on the 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 suitable:
•All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it thanks a little magnet): cast iron
and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…
•NOT suitable: cupper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware…
The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. Cookwares with too small
diameter may not work. This diameter is varying in relationship to the heating zone diameter.
If the pan is not suitable to the induction hob, the display will show [ U ] symbol.
Sensitive touch
Your induction hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your
finger presses the key during 1 second, 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.
For normal use, press only one key at any time.

25
“SLIDER” zone: to set power and timer values
Select the cooking zone. The display corresponding to the selected zone will be highlighted.
While the zone is activated (for a few seconds), you can adjust the power, either by sliding your
finger on the slider, or by direct access.
To adjust the power of another cooking zone, wait until the previous zone is no longer activated
(the highlighted display becomes normal).

Pan detection
The pan detection ensures perfect safety. The induction doesn’t work:
•If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not suitable to the induction. In this
case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol
disappears when a suitable 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 on the heating zone. The
cooking continues with the power level set before.
After use, make sure that the heating elements have been switched off: don’t leave the pan
detection [ U ] active.
Residual heat indication
After the switching off of a heating zone or the complete stop of the hob, the heating zones are
still hot. This is indicated by displaying [ H ] symbol.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched safely.
As long as the residual heat indicators are on, don’t touch the heating zones and don’t put any
heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.
Booster function
The Power function [ P ] grants a boost of power to the selected heating zone.
If this function is activated the heating zones work during 5 minutes with an ultra high power.

COOKING ADVICES
Pan quality
Suitable materials: steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, ferromagnetic stainless-steel,
aluminium with ferromagnetic bottom
Not suitable materials: aluminium and stainless-steel without ferromagnetic bottom,
cupper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain
The cookware manufacturers usually specify whether their products are suitable to induction.
To check if pans are compatible:
•Put a little water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [ 9 ].This water
must heat in a few seconds.
•A magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan.
Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise
doesn’t mean any failure of the appliance and doesn’t influence the cooking operation.
Pan dimension
The cooking zones are, within a certain limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan.
However the bottom of the pan must have a minimum diameter according to the corresponding
cooking zone.
To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the centre of the cooking zone.
