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 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.

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. Place a pan full of water on each of the
front cooking zones and switch them on
to the maximum power setting for at least
30 minutes.
4. After 30 minutes, switch off the front
cooking zones and repeat this operation
for the rear cooking zones and any
central cooking zone.
5. If after carrying out the above operations
the controls do not work properly, it
might be necessary to extend the
operations until the moisture has
completely evaporated.
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. The buzzer will sound to confirm
every effective touch.
On/Off: turns the hob on or off.
Increase: increases the power level or
cooking time.
Decrease: reduces the power level or
cooking time.

EN
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. If
the symbol appears on the display, it
means the pan is not suitable.
Use only cookware with a
perfectly flat bottom and 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 hot plate.

Use
36
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.

4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Instructions
4.2 Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the surfaces in good condition,
they should be cleaned regularly after use.
Let them cool first.
4.3 Ordinary weekly cleaning
Clean and maintain the hob once a week
using an ordinary glass cleaning product.
Always follow the manufacturer's
instructions. The silicon in these products
creates a protective, water-repellent
membrane which also resists dirt. All marks
stay on the membrane and can therefore be
removed easily. After cleaning, dry the
surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that
there is no detergent left on the cooking
surface as it will undergo a corrosive
reaction when heated up and could modify
the structure of the cooking surface.
4.4 Food stains or residues
Smudges from aluminium-based pans can
be easily cleaned off with a cloth
dampened in vinegar.
Remove any burnt-on residue after
cooking; rinse with water and dry
thoroughly with a clean cloth.
Dirt which may have fallen on the hob
while cleaning lettuce or potatoes can
scratch the hob when moving pans.
Consequently, remove any dirt from the
cooking surface immediately.
Improper use
Risk of damage to surfaces
• Do not use steam jets to clean the
appliance.
• Do not spill sugar or sweet mixtures on
the hob during cooking.
• Do not place materials or substances
that could melt (plastic or aluminium foil).
• Keep sensor keys clean at all times and
do not rest any object on them.
• Do not use cleaning products containing
chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel
parts or parts with metallic finishes on the
surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or
chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive
detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder
products, stain removers and metallic
sponges). Use wooden or plastic
utensils.

Cleaning and maintenance
44
Changes in colour do not affect the
operation and stability of the glass. These
are not alterations to the material of the hob
but just residues which have not been
removed and have then carbonised.
Shiny surfaces can form due to the bases
of pans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing
on the surface, and due to the use of
unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to
remove using conventional cleaning
products. It may be necessary to repeat the
cleaning process several times. Use of
corrosive detergents or rubbing of pan
bases can wear away the decoration on
the hob over time and contribute to the
formation of stains.
4.5 What to do if...
The hob does not work:
• Make sure that the hob is connected
and that the main switch is turned on.
• Make sure that there is no power failure.
• Make sure that the fuse has not blown. In
this case replace the fuse.
• Make sure that the circuit breaker of the
residential electrical system has not
tripped. In this case, re-activate the circuit
breaker.
The cooking results are unsatisfactory:
• Make sure that the cooking temperature
is not too high or too low.
The hob smokes:
• Let the hob cool down and clean it once
cooking is complete.
• Make sure that the food has not spilled
out of the pan and use a larger cooking
vessel, if needed.
The fuses blow or the circuit breaker of the
residential electrical system trips repeatedly.
• Call Technical Support or an electrician.
There are cracks or fissures in the hob:
• Turn off the appliance immediately,
disconnect the power supply and
contact Technical Support.
