• The Principle of Induction Heating:
When you place your cookware on a
cooking zone and you turn it on, the
electronic circuits in your induction
hob produce “induced currents” in the
bottom of the cookware which instantly
raise cookware’s temperature.
• Greater speed in cooking and frying:
As the pan is heated directly and not
the glass, the efciency is greater than
in other systems because no heat is
lost. Most of the energy absorbed is
transformed into heat.

NOTE
• When using only one cooking zone, the diameter of the bottom of the
cookware must be less than 14 cm.
• The hob may take 5-10 seconds to recognize the position of cookware.
• Noises may occur while the hob recognizes the cookware.
• Do not remove cookware during cooking. For safety purposes, the hob
automatically stops if cookware has been removed for more than 5 seconds.
Safety shutoff
If one of the cooking zones is not switched off or the heat setting is not adjusted
after an extended period of time, that particular cooking zone will automatically
switch itself off.
Any residual warmth will be indicated with , (for “hot”) in the digital
displays corresponding to the particular cooking zones.
The cooking zones switch themselves off at the following times.
Heat setting Switch off
1-3 After 6 hours
4-6 After 5 hours
7-9 After 4 hours
10-15 After 1.5 hours
NOTE
If the Hob is overheated because of abnormal operation, will be displayed.
And the Hob will be switched off.
NOTE
If cookware is unsuitable or too small or no cookware has been placed on the
cooking zone, will be displayed.

Parts and features
Residual heat indicator
When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned off, the presence of residual
heat is shown with an , (for “hot”) in the digital display of the appropriate
cooking zones. Even after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual
heat indicator goes out only after the cooking zone has cooled.
You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.
WARNING
As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of burns.
WARNING
If the power supply is interrupted, the , symbol will go out and information
about residual heat will no longer be available.
However, it may still be possible to burn yourself. This can be avoided by always
taking care when near the hob.
Temperature detection
If for any reason the temperatures on any of the cooking zones were to exceed the
safety levels, should this happen then the cooking zone will automatically reduce
to a lower power level.
When you have nished using the hob, the cooling fan will continue to run until
the hob’s electronics has cooled down. And the cooling fan switched itself off
depending upon the temperature of the electronics.
Virtual ame technology
Virtual ame technology creates the
appearance of ames when you turn on an
induction element.
• Virtual ame technology is available only on the right burner.
• As you set the heat setting sensor to adjust the power level, the brightness of
the ames change.
• The virtual ame may look different depending on the appearance, size, or
position of the cookware. (For the best results, use cookware that, matches the
element size. Cookware that is too large can cover the virtual ame. Cookware
that is too small can cause the virtual ame to be ill-formed.
• Impurities on the cookware bottom or the cooktop surface can cause the
virtual ame to be ill-formed of incomplete. Clean up the cookware or the
cooktop surface before using them.
NOTE
If you want to turn off Virtual Flame technology, you must touch keep warm
