• Make sure that electrical cables connecting other appliances in the
proximity of the cooktop cannot come into contact with the hob.
• WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be
dangerous and may result in re. NEVER try to extinguish a re with
water, but switch off the appliance and then cover ame e.g. with a
lid or a re blanket.
• WARNING: Danger of re: do not store items on the cooking surfaces.
• WARNING: If the hob is cracked or otherwise damaged by falling
objects etc., disconnect the appliance from the electrical power
supply to avoid the possibility of electric shock and call Customer
Service.
• WARNING: When correctly installed, your product meets all safety
requirements laid down for this type of product category. However
special care should be taken around the underneath of the appliance
as this area is not designed or intended to be touched and may
contain sharp or rough edges, that may cause injury.
• CAUTION: The cooking process has to be supervised. A short term
cooking process has to be supervised continuously.
• If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced only by an
authorized service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
• INDUCTION HOBS:
– Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not
be placed on the hob surface since they can get hot.
– Do not use metallic kitchen utensils (e.g. ladles). It is preferable to
use plastic or wood kitchen utensils.
– Please use pans of recommended size (see minimum pan
diameter recommended). It is not advisable to use pans smaller
than the cooking zone. The pans have to be placed in the centre
of the cooking zone.

7
– Do not use defective pans or pans with a curved bottom.
– Please use suitable pans marked for induction cooking.
– Please keep your distance from the electromagnetic elds by
standing 5-10 cm from the cooking zones. When possible use the
rear cooking zones.
– Magnetic objects (e.g. credit cards, oppy disks, memory cards)
and electronic instruments (e.g. computers) should not be placed
near the induction hob.
– The heating of magnetic tins is forbidden! Closed tins may explode
by exceeding pressure while heating. There is a burning risk with
open tins as well, because the integrated temperature protection
will not work correctly.
– IMPORTANT WARNING: The induction hob complies with
European Standards for domestic cooking appliances. Therefore
it should not interfere with other electronic units. Persons with
cardiac pacemakers or any other electrical implants must check
with their doctor if they can use an induction cooking system (and
check any possible interferences with the implants).
ENERGY LABELLING/ECODESIGN
• Commission regulation (EU) No 66/2014 (implementing Directive 2009/125/EC of the
European Parliament and of the Council).
Reference to the measurement and calculation methods used to establish compliance with
the above requirements:
• Standard EN 60350-2 (hobs: electric cooking zones and/or areas).
USE OF THE APPLIANCE, ENERGY SAVING TIPS
HOB
INDUCTION COOKING ZONES AND/OR AREAS
• To save electricity, use lids whenever possible.
• When the pan comes to the boil, turn the heat down to the level desired.
• Please use suitable pans marked for induction cooking. Some cookware available
on the market has an effective ferromagnetic area which is much smaller than the
diameter of the pan itself. Avoid using this cookware because the induction cooktop
may not function properly or may be damaged.
• Always use pans/coffee pots with thick, completely at bottom. Do not use pans/coffee
pots with concave or convex bottom; these could cause overheating of the cooking
zone.
• Important: Do not use pots/coffee pot adaptors.

1 - FEATURES AND TECHNICAL DATA

Notes:
• Each selection (by pressing one of the keys) is
indicated by an acoustic signal (beep).
• User interface initial calibration: this feature is for
the keyboard calibration, to adapt the sensibility of
the keys to the nal mechanical, environmental and
user conditions. Any time the cooktop is connected
to the electrical supply or after a power failure (that
generates a reset in the user interface), the rst
time the Key-Lock is touched the sensibility of
the keyboard is readjusted.
 The rst touch of the Key-Lock must be done
in certain condition: do not use gloves, use a clear
nger.
It is also important to consider that the calibration
process requires a low level of ambient light in
the area of the touch keys. If the environmental
light conditions are excessive (e.g. halogen
hood light/s on), the user interface calibration is
suspended (the cooking zones displays show
“F” and “L” alternating - error message “FL”) until
the correct light conditions will be recovered.
In this case the direct environmental light/s must be
switched off before calibrating the cooktop; then,
after completing the process, the light/s can be
switched on again.
• The touch control is switched off automatically (and
a warning beep sounds every 10 seconds):
– if one or more keys are touched for more than
10 seconds;
– if an object is positioned on the touch control
area;
– in the case of spillage of liquids on the control
keys.
• When the touch control reaches an ambient
temperature above a preset temperature the
heating elements are automatically switched off
(the displays show “F” and “ ” alternating - error
message “F”). In this case let the cooktop cool
down before using again.
IMPORTANT: ANY AUDIBLE NOISE WHEN IN USE
(E.G. A CLICKING SOUND) IS DUE TO THE NORMAL
OPERATION OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL
SYSTEM AND IS NOT THEREFORE INDICATIVE OF
AN APPLIANCE MALFUNCTION.
