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.
CORD INSTRUCTIONS
! Short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
! Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
! If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance;
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled
on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
modify the plug in any way.

following:.
! Read all instructions.
! Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
! To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plugs, or the cover in water or other liquid.
! Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off
parts.
! Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has
been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
! The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause
injuries.
! Do not use outdoors.
! Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
! Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand hazards involved. Children shall not play
with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
! If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of electric shock.
! The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control
system.
! WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire.
NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then cover flame e.g. with a
lid or a fire blanket.
! WARNING: Danger of fire: do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
! Do not use steam cleaners.
! Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on the hob surface since
they can get hot. !!! Don't use the cooktop on metal base !!!
! After use, switch off the hob element by its control and do not rely on the pan detector.

! CAUTION! Surface remains hot after use! Do not touch the top plate right after removing the
pot or the pan, as the top plate will still be very hot.
! Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top – If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock.
! Clean Cook-Top with Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,
be careful to avoid steam burn, some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

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
no pot is detected within 180 seconds, the hob switches off.

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.
