How induction hobs work
Induction hobs work very di󰀨erently from
traditional hobs or metal plate cookers. The
induction coil located under the vitreous ceramic
surface quickly creates a highly variable magnetic
eld, which heats the magnetisable bottom of the
pan directly. The vitreous ceramic surface is only
heated by the hot pan. When the pan is removed
from the cooking area, the current supplied is cut
o󰀨 immediately.
Pan presence detection
Each of the cooking areas is equipped with a
system to detect the presence of a pan. The
pan presence detection system recognises pans
with a magnetisable base suitable for use with
induction hobs.
If the pan is removed during operation, or if an
unsuitable pan is used, the display alongside the
bar graph ashes with the symbol .
If there are no pans positioned on the cooking
area during the 20 second pan presence
detection period:
- The cooking area switches o󰀨 automatically
after 20 seconds.
- The display for each cooking area will indicate
.
Power management function
This product has an electronically controlled power management function. The Power management
function detects when the maximum power level of 3.7 kW/16 A is being delivered for the combined
cooking elements (right and left hand side phases), optimising power distribution and avoiding any
overloading of the induction system.
To do this, the total power is monitored continuously, and reduced when necessary. If it is not possible
to supply the total power required, a control element reduces by a predened amount the power in
another cooking element so that it is at a level immediately below its respective power curve. This
ensures that the current absorption of 16 A is not exceeded.
In this case the generator detects the last command with the highest priority sent by the user interface
and, if necessary, reduces the previous settings activated for another cooking element.
The Power management function is rst activated when the presence of a pan is detected on the
cooking element.
Example:
If the power boost level (boost) (P) is selected in the same phase (right and left hand phase) in a

This aspect is variable according to the limits set for the product (See paragraph 7.6).
Pans
Suitable pans
Only pans with a fully magnetisable base are
suitable to cook on induction hobs.
A magnet is able to stick to every point on the
whole bottom of the pan.
Pans suitable for use with induction
hobs
The pans to be used on induction cooking
surfaces must be made of metal, with magnetic
properties and with a su󰀩ciently wide base.
Suitable pans:
- Enamelled steel pans with a thick bottom.
- Cast iron pans with an enamelled bottom.
- Multi-layer stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel
and aluminium pans with a special bottom.
Unsuitable pans:
- Brass, stainless steel, aluminium, refractory
glass, wooden, ceramic and terracotta pots and
pans.
- To see whether or not a pan is suitable, bring
a magnet up to its bottom: if the magnet is
attracted, the pan is suitable for induction
cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can
put a small amount of water into the pan, place
it on a cooking area and turn the hob on. If the

41
display shows the symbol , the pan is not
suitable.
Caution: only use pans with a perfectly at
bottom that are suitable for induction cooking.
Using pans with an uneven bottom may detract
from the e󰀩ciency of the heat radiation system,
and may prevent detection of the pan on the
cooking area.
Noises during cooking
Pans may produce noises during cooking. This
does not indicate a malfunction, nor does it have
any inuence on how the device works.
The noise depends on the type of pan being
used. If the noise is particularly annoying, it might
help to change the pan.
Energy saving information
- The diameter of the pan bottom must
correspond with the diameter of the cooking
area.

SAVING
- When purchasing a pan, check whether the
diameter indicated corresponds to the bottom or
the top of the pan, as the latter is usually wider
than the bottom.
- When preparing dishes that require long
cooking times, both time and energy can be
saved by using a pressure cooker. Cooking
in this way also allows more vitamins to be
preserved in the food.
- Make sure that the pressure cooker contains
enough liquid; if there is not enough liquid and it
overheats, this may cause damage both to the
pressure cooker and to the cooking area.
- If possible, always cover pans with a suitable
lid.
- Select a pan that is suitable for the amount of
food to be cooked. Cooking with wide pans that
are only partially used is a waste of energy.

Normal working noises in the hob
Induction technology is based on the creation of
electromagnetic elds. These electromagnetic
elds generate heat directly on the bottom of
the pan. Pots and pans may produce a variety
of noises or vibrations, according to their
construction.
These types of noise can be described as
follows:
Light buzz (like the noise made by a
transformer)
This noise is produced when cooking with a high
level of heat, and it is determined by the amount
of energy transferred by the hob to the pans. The
noise will stop or decrease when the heat level is
reduced.
Light whistle
This noise is produced when the pot or pan is
empty, and stops as soon as it is lled with water
or food.
Crackle
This noise occurs with pans made from layers
of numerous di󰀨erent materials, and is caused
by vibration of the surfaces where the di󰀨erent
materials meet. The noise comes from the pans,
and may vary according to the quantity of food
and preparation method being used.
Loud whistle
This noise occurs with pans made up of layers of
di󰀨erent materials, and also when these are used
at maximum level and on two cooking areas. The
noise will stop or decrease when the heat level is
reduced.

Fan noises
For the electronic system to operate correctly, the
temperature of the cooker hob must be regulated.
To do this, the hob is equipped with a cooling
fan that is activated to reduce and regulate the
temperature in the electronic system. The fan
may continue to operate after the appliance has
been turned o󰀨, if the temperature of the cooker
hob is still detected to be too high.
Rhythmic sounds like a clock ticking
This noise only occurs when at least three
cooking areas are operating, and it disappears or
decreases when some of them are turned o󰀨.
The noises described are a normal feature
of induction technology and are not to be
considered as defects.
Turning the device on
Press and hold to turn the device on.
- All the power level displays will indicate “0“.
- If no other selections are made, the device
will turn o󰀨 after 20 seconds for safety
reasons.
Selecting a cooking area
Press on the reference Digit for one or more of
the cooking areas and set the power level.
