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.
2.4 Other parts
Shelves
The appliance features shelves to position
trays and racks at different heights. The
insertion heights are indicated from the
bottom upwards (see 2.1, “General
Description”).
Cooling fan
The fan cools the oven and comes into
operation during cooking.
The fan causes a steady outflow of air that
exits from the rear of the appliance and
which may continue for a brief period of
time even after the appliance has been
turned off.
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.
Do not obstruct ventilation
openings and heat dispersal slots.

Description

•Multifunction oven: turn the function
knob to any function.
•Auxiliary oven: turn the variable grill

Use
68
3.2 First use
1. Remove any protective film from the
outside or inside of the appliance,
including accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the
technical data plate) from the
accessories and from the oven cavity.
3. Remove and wash all the appliance
accessories (see 4, “Cleaning and
maintenance”).
4. Heat the empty appliance at the
maximum temperature to burn off any
residues left by the manufacturing
process.
3.3 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.
Improper use
Danger of burns
• Do not touch or clean the hob surface
during operation or when the residual
heat indicator lights are still on.
• Activate the controls lock when you
have children or pets which could reach
the hob.
• After use the cooking zones remain hot
for a certain period of time after they
have been turned off. Do not touch the
hob surfaces.
• Oils and fats could catch fire if
overheated. Be very careful.
High temperatures during use
Danger of fire or explosion
• Do not spray any spray products near
the appliance.
• Do not use or leave flammable materials
near the appliance or the storage
compartment.
• Do not use plastic cookware or
containers for cooking.
• Do not put sealed tins or containers in
the oven.
• Never leave the appliance unattended
during cooking operations where fats or
oils could be released.
• Remove all trays and racks which are
not required during cooking.

Use
69
EN
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 removed
accidentally must face downwards
towards the back of the oven cavity.
Plate rack
1. Insert the plate rack without plates in the
first shelf of the vertical oven cavity.
2. Position the plates as shown in the figure.
3. Heat the oven to a temperature no
greater than 50 °C for no more than
15 minutes.
4. After heating, extract the support slightly,
leaving it on the rails.
5. Ensure that the support is stable and
balanced, then remove the plates.
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.
Use oven gloves when handling
cooking zones.

Use
70
3.4 Using the hob
All the appliance’s control and monitoring
devices are located together on the front
panel. The relevant cooking zone is
indicated next to each knob.
Just turn the knob clockwise to the required
power setting.
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 is shown on the
display, this means that the pan is not
suitable.
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.
After use, turn off the hot plates
used by returning the appropriate
knob to the Oposition. Never rely
solely on the cookware detector.
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
71
EN
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).
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 pans with a
suitable lid.
• Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of
food to be cooked. A large, half-empty
pan leads to a waste of energy.
Power levels
The power in the cooking zone can be
adjusted to various levels. The table shows
the levels suitable for various types of
cooking.
* see booster function
Under certain circumstances, if the
hob and the oven are being used
at the same time, the maximum
power limit that can be used by the
electrical system might be
exceeded.
