2.2 Cooking hob
* Power levels are approximate and can vary according to the pan used or the settings made.
Advantages of induction cooking • Energy saving thanks to the direct
transmission of energy to the pan
(suitable magnetisable cookware is
required) compared to traditional
electric cooking.
• Improved safety as the energy is only
transmitted to the pan placed on the hob.
• High level of energy transmitted from the
induction cooking zone to the base of
the pan.
• Rapid heating speed.
• Reduced danger of burns as the cooking
surface is only heated under the base of
the pan; foods which overflow do not
stick.
Zone Dimensions (H x L - mm) Max. power draw (W)* Power draw in booster function
(W) *
1 210 x 210 2300 3000
2 180 x 180 1300 1400
3 210 x 210 2300 3000
4 180 x 180 1300 1400
The hob is equipped with an
induction generator for each
cooking zone. Each generator
located under the glass ceramic
cooking surface creates an
electromagnetic field which
induces a thermal current in the
base of the pan. This means the
heat is no longer transmitted from
the hob to the pan but created
directly inside the pan by the
inductive current.

• Remove all trays and racks which are
not required during cooking.

Use
67
EN
3.1 Using the accessories
Tray rack
The tray rack has to be inserted into the tray.
In this way fat can be collected separately
from the food which is being cooked.
Racks and trays
Racks and trays have to be inserted into the
side guides until they come to a complete
stop.
• The mechanical safety locks that prevent
the rack from being taken out
accidentally have to face downwards
and towards the oven back.
3.2 Using the hob
All the appliance’s control and monitoring
devices are located together on the front
panel. The induction hob is controlled by
means of the Touch Control sensor keys.
Lightly touch a symbol on the glass ceramic
surface. The buzzer will sound to confirm
every effective touch.
Gently insert racks and trays into
the oven until they come to a stop.
Clean the trays before using them
for the first time to remove any
residues left by the manufacturing
process.
On first connection to the electrical
mains, an automatic check will be
carried out that will switch on all
indicator lights for a few seconds.

Use

On/Off: turns the hob on or off.
Increase: increases the power level or
cooking time.
Decrease: reduces the power level or
cooking time.

Front right cooking zone
Cookware suitable for use in induction
cooking
Cookware used on the induction cooking
surface must be made of metal, with
magnetic properties and a sufficiently large
base.
Suitable cookware:
• Enamelled steel cookware with thick
bases.
• Cast iron cookware with an enamelled
base.
• Cookware in multilayer stainless steel,
ferritic stainless steel and aluminium with
a special base.
Unsuitable cookware:
• Copper, stainless steel, aluminium,
fireproof glass, wood, ceramic and
terracotta cookware.
To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a
magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted,
the pan is suitable for induction cooking.
If you do not have a magnet, you can put a
small amount of water in the pan, place it
on a cooking zone and start the cooking
zone. If the symbol appears on the
display, it means the pan is not suitable.
Cookware recognition
When there is no saucepan on a cooking
zone or if the saucepan is too small, no
energy will be transmitted and the symbol
will appear on the display.
If there is a suitable saucepan on the
cooking zone, the recognition system
notices it and turns on the hob to the power
level set using the knob. Energy transmission
is also interrupted when the saucepan is
removed from the cooking zone (the
symbol will be shown on the display).
Use only cookware with a
perfectly flat bottom which is
suitable for induction hot plates.
Using cookware with an irregular
bottom could jeopardise the
efficiency of the heating system
and prevent cookware from being
detected on the cooking zone.

Use
69
EN
If the cookware recognition function is
activated in spite of the saucepan or frying
pan on the cooking zone being smaller
than the zone itself, only the necessary
energy will be transmitted.
Cookware recognition limits: the minimum
diameter of the pan base is indicated by a
circle inside the cooking zone. Pans with
smaller diameters risk not being detected
and therefore not activating the inductor.
Limiting the cooking duration
The hob has an automatic device which
limits the duration of use.
If the cooking zone settings are not
changed, the maximum duration of
operation for each zone depends on the
power level selected.
When the device for limiting the duration of
use is activated, the cooking zone turns off,
a short alert sounds and, if the zone is hot,
the symbol appears on the display.
Protection from overheating
If the hob is used on full power for a long
period, the electronics will have trouble
cooling down if the room temperature is
high. To avoid excessively high
temperatures forming in the electronics, the
power to the cooking zone is reduced
automatically.
Advice on energy-saving
• The diameter of the base of the pan must
correspond to the diameter of the
cooking zone.
• When buying a pan, check whether the
diameter indicated is that of the base or
the top of the pan, as the top is almost
always larger than the base.
• When preparing dishes with long
cooking times, you can save time and
energy by using a pressure cooker,
which also makes it possible to preserve
the vitamins in the food.
• Make sure that the pressure cooker
contains enough liquid as, if there is not
enough and it overheats, this may cause
damage to both the pressure cooker and
the cooking zone.
• If possible, always cover saucepans with
a suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, half-empty
saucepan leads to a waste of energy.

This function allows you to use the
maximum possible power for the
cooking zone.
On the front left and rear right
cooking zones only:
The Power function is available for
10 minutes, after which the power
level drops automatically to 9.
This function is used to set a minute
minder timer, which will sound a
buzzer at the end of the pre-set
time (from 1 to 99 minutes).
Using the minute minder does not
switch off the cooking zones but
rather informs the user when the set
minutes have run out.
The timer can be activated while
the cooking zones are on or off.
To deactivate the minute minder
timer during the countdown, zero
the set time using key . When

Power control
The hob is fitted with a power control
module that optimises/limits consumption. If
the overall set power levels exceed the
maximum limits permitted, the electronic
circuit board controls automatically the
power supplied by the hot plates.
The module tries to maintain the maximum
deliverable power levels. Levels set by the
automatic control will appear on the
display.
The flashing of a power level indicates that
it will be automatically limited to a new level
selected by the power control module.
Control lock
After activating the hob:
1. Press keys and at the same
time.
2. Press the button after the beep.
The controls are now locked and will
appear on the display.
To unlock the controls:
1. Press keys and at the same
time.
2. Press the button after the beep.
If the timer is activated without an
active cooking zone it behaves like
an ordinary minute minder.
Power control priority is given by
the first zone set.
The power control module does
not affect the total power
consumption of the appliance.
In case of a power failure the
control lock will be deactivated.
