Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the heat
created by the electronic system reaches a certain level. The ventilation starts its high speed
when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces its speed and stops automatically
when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.
STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Before the first use
Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent
which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
Induction principle
An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable
electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the
pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be suitable:
•All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please test to see if it attracts a magnet): cast
iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…
•NOT suitable: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware,…
The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. Pans with too small
diameter may not work. This diameter is varying in relationship to the heating zone diameter.
If the pan is not suitable to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].
Sensitive touch
Your induction hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your
finger presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a
control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound.
For normal use, press only one key at any time.
In the case of a general use press only one key at the same time.

If no action is made within 20 second the electronics returns in waiting position.
Pan detection
The pan detection ensures perfect safety. The induction doesn’t work:
•If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not suitable to the induction. In this
case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol
disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone.
•If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows [
U ]. The symbol [ U ] disappears when the pan is put back on the heating zone. The
cooking continues with the power level set before.
After use, switch the heat element off: don’t let the pan detection [ U ] active.

Residual heat indication
After the switching off of a heating zone or the complete stop of the hob, the heating zones are
still hot and indicates [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched safely.
As long as the residual heat indicators are on, don’t touch the heating zones and don’t put any
heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.
Power and Super Power function
Power [ P ] and Super Power [ ] grant a boost of Power to the selected heating zone.
If this function is activated the heating zones work during 10 minutes with an ultra high Power.
This is foreseen for example to heat up rapidly big quantities of water, like nuddles

•Power management:
The hole cooking hob is equipped with a maximum of Power. When the Power function is
activated, and in order to exceed the maximum Booster, the electronic system orders to reduce
automatically the power level of an other heating zone. The display is blinking on [ 9 ] during a
few seconds and then shows the maximum of power allowed:
