•Be careful not to burn yourself while or after using the appliance.
•Make sure no cable of any fixed or moving appliance contacts with the glass or the hot
saucepan.
•Magnetically objects (credit cards, floppy disks, calculators) should not be placed near to the
engaged appliance.
•Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob
surface since they can get hot.
•In general do not place any metallic object except heating containers on the glass surface.
In case of untimely engaging or residual heat, this one may heat, melt or even burn.
•Never cover the appliance with a cloth or a protection sheet. This is supposed to become
very hot and catch fire.
•This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.

22
Precautions not to damage the appliance
•Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots,) may damage the
ceramic glass.
•Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
•Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
•Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
•Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
•Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
•Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not contact with the heating zones.
These may cause breaks or other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch on
the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating zone (be careful: do not
burn yourself).
•Never place any hot container over the control panel.
•If a drawer is situated under the embedded appliance, make sure the space between the
content of the drawer and the inferior part of the appliance is large enough (2 cm). This is
essential to guaranty a correct ventilation.
•Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer situated under the
vitroceramic hob. The eventual cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.
Precautions in case of appliance failure
•If a defect is noticed, switch off the appliance and turn off the electrical supplying.
•If the ceramic glass is cracked or fissured, you must unplug the appliance and contact the

•Repairing has to be done by specialists. Do not open the appliance by yourself.
•WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
Other precautions
•Make sure that the cookware is always centred on the cooking zone. The bottom of the pot
should cover as much as possible of the cooking zone.
•For the users of cardiac pacemakers, the magnetic field may influence the operation. We
recommend getting information from the retailer or the doctor.
•Do not place aluminium or synthetic material containers on the hob: they could melt on
residual hot cooking zones.

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
The slider works like a touch key. Once your finger is placed onto the slider, you can slide to the
right hand or to the left hand side, in order to adjust the displayed value. As soon as the expected
value has been reached, you can remove your finger from the slider.
To select the power, you can either slide your finger on the slider zone, or directly access a
particular level if you put your finger directly on the chosen level.
Starting-up
•Start up / switch off the hob:
Action Control panel Display
To start press key [ ] (1 sec) [ 0 ]
To stop press key [ ] nothing or [ H ]
•Start up / switch off a heating zone:
Action Control panel Display
To set slide on the “SLIDER“ [ 1 ] to [ 9 ]
(adjust the power) to the right or to the left
To stop slide to [ 0 ] on “SLIDER“ [ 0 ] or [ H ]
If no action is made within 20 second the electronics return to the waiting position.
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.
slidepress

26
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 Booster function [ P ] and the Double Booster [ ] add a boost of power to the selected
heating zone.
If this function is activated the heating zones work for 10 minutes with an ultra high power.
Booster is needed for example to heat up rapidly big quantities of water, like rice, pasta or
noodles.

•Power management:
When it comes to the power, the cooking zones are running by pairs and cannot exceed an
overall maximum of power. If the selected heating levels for both zones exceed the maximum
available amount of power, the power management function is automatically reducing the power
from one of these zones. The display of this zone is first blinking; the level is then automatically
reduced to the highest suitable position.

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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The installation must be performed by a qualified electrical contractor. This contractor will take
the entire responsibility of the installation. The installation has to comply with the legislation and
the standards in force in your country.
How to stick the gasket:
The gasket supplied with the hob prevents the intrusion of liquids into the cabinet below.
Its installation has to be done carefully, as described below.
Fitting - installing:
•Cut out sizes of the worktop:
A B E F H
EKIF9960.1 898 mm 518 mm 750 mm 490 mm 48 mm
EKI9960.1F 900 mm 520 mm 750 mm 490 mm 48 mm
•Ensure that there is a distance of 40 mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
•The hobs are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed
with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall
at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than
the hob.
Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters
from the external edge of the glass,
after removing the protection tape (3).

•Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect
the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given
to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the
supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with
smooth work top surfaces.
•The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the
indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a distance
minimum of 760 mm.
•The connection cord should not be subjected, after building-in, to any mechanical
constraint (for instance constraint given by a drawer installed below).
Ventilation
•The cooktop ventilation can be improved by adding an opening in kitchen furniture back
wall, just under the cut out of the worktop.
•The front cross member of the furniture must be fined down on the whole width of the cut
out, in order to allow an air passage under the worktop.
•Any cross beneath the worktop must be removed if it is located partly or totally into the cut
out area .
•When building-in the cooktop, make sure not to obstruct the openings foreseen in the
casing of the hob. These holes are necessary for an efficient ventilation of the appliance.
•Avoid any excessive heating under the cooktop, eg related to a poorly ventilated and/or
insulated oven.
•If the induction hob is installed over a pyrolytic oven, it cannot be used as long as the
pyrolytic function is activated.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
•The installation of this appliance and the connection to the electrical network should be
entrusted only to an electrician perfectly to the fact of the normative regulations and which
respects them scrupulously.
•Protection against the parts under tension must be ensured after the building-in.
•The data of connection necessary are on the stickers place on the hob casing near the
connection box.
•The connection to the main must be made using an earthed plug or via an omnipolar
circuit breaking device with a contact opening of at least 3 mm.
•The electrical circuit must be separated from the network by adapted devices, for example:
circuit breakers, fuses or contactors.
•If the appliance is not fitted with an accessible plug, disconnecting means must be
incorporated in the fixed installation, in accordance with the installation regulations.
•The inlet hose must be positioned so that it does not touch any of the hot parts of the hob
or even.
