■A defective appliance may cause an electric shock. Never connect a defective appliance. Unplug
the appliance from the mains. Notify the Technical Assistance Department.of electric s hock!
Danger of breakdown!
The plate is equipped with a fan located in the lower part of the same. Drawers under the cooking
plate should not be used to store small objects or paper,
which, if trapped, could damage the fan and compromise the cooling operation.
A space of at least 2 cm should be left between the content of the drawer and the of the fan entrance.
Danger of injury!
■Pans may jump up suddenly due to the presence of liquid between the base of the pan and the
cooking area. Always ensure the cooking area and base of the pans are dry.
Causes of damage
Warning!
■Do not use pans without the TPB elevation ring.
■Never place empty pans on the cooking area. This may cause damage.
■Do not place hot pans on the control panel or the function indicator areas. This may cause damage.
■Dropping hard or pointed objects on to the cooking plate may cause damage.

Protection of the environment
Energy saving tips
■Always use the corresponding lid of each pan. Cooking without a lid requires far more energy. Use
a glass lid to enable you to see the food without removing it.
■Use pans with TPB elevation rings and flat bases. Bases which are not flat consume more energy.
■The diameter of the pan base should be the same as the size of the cooking area.
N.B.: pans manufacturers usually state the diameter of the top of the same, which is generally bigger
than the diameter of the base of the pan.
■Use a small pan for small amounts. A large pan with little content consumes a lot of energy.
■Use as little water as possible when cooking. This saves energy and conserves the vitamins and
minerals of vegetables.
■Select the lowest cooking power level possible. Cooking at excessively high temperatures wastes
energy.
Cooking with TPB tech 75.080.14.242
The advantages of Cooking with TPB tech 75.080.14.242
Cooking with TPB tech 75.080.14.242 involves a radical change in the traditional manner of heating,
as the heat is generated directly in the pan. This ensures a series of advantages:
■Reduced cooking and frying times on heating the pan directly.
■Energy is saved.
■Simpler maintenance and cleaning. Food which has spilled over does not burn as quickly.
■Heat and safety control; the plate supplies or cuts off energy immediately by operating with the
control panel.
The TPB tech 75.080.14.242 worktop cuts off the power supply when you remove the pan without
having turned it off beforehand.
TPB TECH 75.080.14.242 INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL

Pans
Only ferromagnetic pans with a TPB elevation ring are appropriate for induction cooking, such as:
■Enameled steel
■Cast iron
■Special dishes for stainless steel induction.
Check the base of the pan is attracted by a magnet to find out if it is appropriate.
There is another type of pan for induction cooking, the base of which is not totally ferromagnetic.
Inappropriate pans
Never use baffle plates or pans with or without a TPB elevation ring made of:
■Normal fine steel
■Glass
■Clay
■Copper
■Aluminium
Characteristics of the base of the pan
The characteristics of the base of the pan may affect the uniformity of the food cooked. Pans made of
materials which help spread heat, such as stainless steel sandwich pans, spread heat uniformly,
saving both time and energy. The so-called three-layer pans.
Absence of a pan or inappropriate size
If you do not place a pan on the cooking area selected, or if the pan is not of the appropriate material
or size, the cooking level displayed on the cooking area indicator will be U. Use an appropriate pan
and the cooking level will appear.
Empty or thin-based pans
Do not heat empty pans or use pans with a thin base. The cooking plate is equipped with an internal
safety system, but an empty pan can heat up so quickly that the “automatic shutdown" function has no
time to react and can reach an extremely high temperature. The base of the pan may even melt and
damage the TPB tech 75.080.14.242 surface. If this occurs, do not touch the pan and turn off the
cooking area. If the appliance fails to work after cooling down, contact the technical assistance
department.
TPB TECH 75.080.14.242 INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL

Pan sensor
Each cooking area has a minimum pan detection limit, which varies in accordance with the material of
the pan being used. This why the cooking area most suited to the diameter of your pan should be
used.
When using large pans with a smaller ferromagnetic
area diameter, only the ferromagnetic area is heated,
whereby the distribution of heat may not be uniform.
Pans with areas of aluminium inserted in the base
reduce the ferromagnetic area, meaning the power
supplied may be less, the pan may be hard to detect
or may not be detected at all.
To ensure good cooking results, we recommend the
ferromagnetic area of the pans will fit to the cooking
area.
If the pan in a cooking area is not detected, test it on
the next diameter down or use small three-layer
stainless steel pans (which are totally magnetic and
work in any cooking area).
All pans must be fitted with the TPB elevation

* If the defect persists notify the Technical Assistance Department.
Do not place hot pans on the control panel.
Normal operating noise
TPB tech 75.080.14.242 heating technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic
fields which ensure the heat is generated directly in the base of the pan. These pans,
depending on the composition of the same, may emit certain noises or vibrations as
described below:
A deep humming noise like that of a transformer
This noise occurs when cooking at high powers levels. It is caused by the amount of energy
being transferred from the cooking plate to the pan. This noise disappears or diminishes
when the power level is reduced.
A low whistling noise
This noise occurs when the pan is empty. It disappears when water of food is placed in the
pan.
TPB TECH 75.080.14.242 INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL
18
A crackling noise
This noise arises in pans which are composed of different layer materials. It is due to the
vibrations produced in the surfaces joining the different layers of materials. This noise comes
from the pan. The intensity of the noise may vary in accordance with the amount and manner
in which the food is cooked.
A loud whistling noise
This noise occurs above all in pans composed of different layers of materials as soon as they
are placed under maximum heating power and in two cooking areas at the same time.
This whistling noise disappears or diminishes as soon as the power level is reduced.
The noise of the fan
The cooking plate should operate at a controlled temperature to ensure the correct use of the
electronic system. As such, the cooking plate is equipped with a fan which turns itself on
when the temperature read is high. The fan may also work due to inertia, after the cooking
plate has been turned off, if the temperature is still too high.
The aforementioned noises are normal are a part of TPB tech technology, and do not imply a
defect.
