STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Before the first use
Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent
which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
Induction principle
An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a
variable electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom
plate of the pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be adapted:
• All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it thanks a little magnet): cast
iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic
bottoms…
• Are excluded: cupper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic,
stoneware,…
The induction heating zone adapts automatically the size of the pan. With a too small
diameter the pans doesn’t work. This diameter is varying in function of the heating zone
diameter. If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].
Starting-up
The cooktop is switched On by touching the [ON/OFF] key for 1 sec. A beep sounds and all
the heater displays show the digit point. If the selection of a heater is not done in 10 seconds,
the cooktop will be turned off automatically. The cooktop is switched Off by touching the
[ON/OFF] key for 1 sec. A beep sounds and all the heaters are switched Off.
The [ON/OFF] key will be locked to switch On the cooktop:
- if the key lock is activated (KEYLOCK LED on);
- or if there is any appliance error.
Switching On a Heater
To switch on a heater it is necessary to actuate every cooking zone by means of two
operations:
1-Select a heater
2-Select the desired cookset
1-Selecting a heater
A heater is selected by touching the heater [HEATER_SELECTION] key for 1 second, a beep
sounds and the heater display shows the power level with normal brightness. The heaters
that are not selected are dimmed.
If more than one heater is on, the heater selection will finish 10 seconds after the last touch of
the [-], [+] key or if another heater is selected. If only one heater is on, the heater selection will
finish if another heater is selected. When the heater selection is finished after 10 seconds, a
beep sound and all the heater displays that were dimed show the power levels with normal
brightness.
When the heater selection finishes, if the selected cookset is 0, the heater display will be
switched off.
2-Selecting a power level for a heater
