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.
Power control
The hob is fitted with a power control
module that optimises/limits consumption. If
the overall set power level exceeds the
maximum limit permitted, the electronic
circuit board will automatically manage 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 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.
• Priority is given to the last zone
that is set.
• The power control module does
not affect the total power
consumption of the appliance.

3.1 Instructions
High temperature
Danger of burns
• Protect your hands by wearing heat-
proof gloves during use.
• Do not touch or clean the hob surface
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.
• Keep children under the age of 8 away
from the appliance when it is in use.
• 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.
High temperature
Danger of fire or explosion
• Do not use or leave flammable materials
near the appliance or directly
underneath the hob.
• Do not cook in closed tins or containers,
plastic kitchenware or containers.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended
during cooking operations where fats or
oils could be released.
• In case you notice cracks or fissures or
you cannot turn off the appliance,
disconnect the power supply and
contact the Assistance Centre.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use the hob if the pyrolytic cycle
is taking place inside any oven installed
below.
• Never place pans with bases which are
not perfectly flat and smooth.
• Avoid hard, solid objects falling on the
cooking surface.
• Do not use the hob as a support surface.

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 buttons.
Lightly touch a symbol on the glass ceramic
surface. A beep will sound to confirm every
effective touch.
Switching on the hob for the first time
When the appliance is used for the first
time, after having been connected to the
mains the flashing symbol appears on
the display. It is used to access the
appliance’s technical menu and is intended
only for Technical Support personnel.
Once the appliance has been switched on,
the icon, the dimly lit button and
the text will appear on the timer
display.

Cooking zones display
The buttons for selecting the cooking zones
and the timer icons above each of them
and the Warming function icon are found in
this zone.
Timer display
The controls for setting the independent
timer and the timer for the cooking zones
are located in this area. The following text is
displayed when it is possible to set an
independent timer .
Pan diameters
Make sure that the minimum diameter of the
pans is that indicated in the following table:
*When using a pan with diameters smaller than
the smallest diameter shown in the “Ø minimum
(cm)” column, it may not be detected.
Bear in mind the following:
• Do not exceed the limits of the zones
printed on the hob.
• Do not cover the control panel.
• Do not place the pans next to the edges
of the glass.
• If you intend to use a griddle or a long
pan in zones 1and 2in Multizone
mode, it is recommended to use one with
a maximum size of 22 x 36 cm and a
minimum size of 19 x 19 cm.
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 hot plate.
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 residual heat symbols appear 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.
If the temperature of the internal electronic
components exceeds the safety threshold,
the appliance will switch off automatically
and “ER21” will be displayed (see “Error
codes”).
Advice on energy-saving
• The diameter of the base of the pan must
not exceed the width of the silk-screened
cooking zone.
• Pans must not be placed outside the
perimeter of the hob or above the front
control panel.
• 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 helps to retain vitamins
contained 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.
