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.

The appliance 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.
The accessories intended to come
into contact with food are made of
materials that comply with the
provisions of current legislation.
Original supplied and optional
accessories can be requested to
Authorised Assistance Centres.
Use only original accessories
supplied by the manufacturer.

during operation or when the residual
heat indicator lights are still on.
• Do not put empty pans or frying pans on
switched on cooking zones.
• Do not allow children younger than 8
years old to come near the appliance
when in operation.
• Activate the key lock when you have

3.2 Preliminary operations
In order to remove any moisture that could
have accumulated during the manufacturing
process and for the electronic circuits and
control keypad to work properly:
1. Remove the protective films from the
external surfaces of the appliance and
accessories.
2. Remove any labels (apart from the
technical data plate).
3.3 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. A beep will sound to confirm every
effective touch.
List of symbols
On/Off key: turns the hob on or off.
Pause key: pauses cooking.
Control lock key: prevents accidental
operation of controls.
Increase key: increases the cooking
time or timer.
Decrease key: decreases the cooking
time or timer.
Scroll bar: increases or decreases the
power level.
Special functions key: activates the
appliance’s special functions.
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.
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
39
EN
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.
Minimum pan diameter
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.
Use only cookware with a
perfectly flat bottom which is
suitable for induction hobs. Using
cookware with an irregular bottom
could jeopardise the efficiency of
the heating system and prevent
cookware from being detected on
the cooking zone.

Advice on energy-saving
• The diameter of the base of the pan must
not exceed the width of the printed
cooking zone.
• Pans must not be positioned beyond the
perimeter of the hob or above the
controls on the front.
• 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.

The power in the cooking zone can be
adjusted to various levels. The table shows
the levels suitable for various types of
cooking.
