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.

The ceramic cooktop is tted with induction cooking zones.
These zones, shown by painted disks for the single zones or by a painted rectangle for the
“Bridge” area, are controlled by a touch control system.
INDUCTION COOKING SYSTEM
When your induction hob is switched on and a cooking zone has been selected, the
electronic circuits produce induced currents that instantaneously heat the bottom of the
pan which then transfers this heat to the food.
Cooking takes place with hardly any energy loss between the induction hob and the food.
Your induction hob operates only if a correct pan with the right features is placed on a
cooking zone. Please refer to “COOKWARE/COFFEE POT FOR INDUCTION COOKING”.
COOKWARE/COFFEE POT FOR INDUCTION COOKING
The induction cooking system OPERATES ONLY if using correct cookware suitable for
induction cooking (normally identied by an induction symbol on the bottom of the cookware/
coffee pot). The use of not suitable cookware may cause damage to the appliance.
The bottom of the pan/coffee pot has to be ferromagnetic to generate the electromagnetic
eld necessary for the heating process (meaning a magnet has to stick to the bottom of the
pan/coffee pot).
Pans/coffee pots made from the following materials are not suitable:
• glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, stoneware;
• pure stainless steel, aluminium or copper without magnetic bottom.
To check if a pan/coffee pot is suitable or not:
• Test the bottom of the pan/coffee pot with a magnet: if the magnet sticks, the pan is
suitable.
• If a magnet is not available pour a small amount of water inside the pan/coffee pot
and place the pan on a cooking zone. Switch on the cooking zone: if the cooking
zone display shows alternately the set power level and “ ”, the pan/coffee pot is not
suitable (then after 1 minute, the power level automatically returns to “0”).
Important: Do not use pots/coffee pot adaptors; this could cause an overheating and
possible damage to the appliance.
Important note: the cooking zones will not operate if the pan/coffee pot diameter is too
small. To correctly use the cooking zones follow the indications given in the following table.
Induction cooking
zone
Minimum pan diameter recommended
(referred to the bottom of the pan/coffee pot)
Cooking zone Ø 145 mm 90 mm
Cooking zone Ø 210 mm 130 mm
Cooking zone Bridge
Rectangular pan: 250x145 mm (DxW)
Oval pan: 280x145 mm (DxW)
Recommended measures for grill pan: 325x220 mm (DxW)
IMPORTANT: Some cookware available on the market is not of good quality or 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.

Pay attention: The pan/coffee pot shall always be centred over the middle of the cooking
zone.
Pay attention: If using a grill pan do not select the maximum level for a too long time, the
pan may become deformed due to the excessive heat. Always use pans with thick bottom.
It is possible to use oversized pans/coffee pots but its bottom shall not touch the other
cooking zone.
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.
Note: Some types of pans/coffee pots could cause noise when used on an induction
cooking zone.
The noise does not mean any failure on the appliance and does not inuence the cooking
operation.
