The ventilation will run at high speed when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces speed and stops automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.
STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Before Using Your New Induction Hob
Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent, as this risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
How Induction Works
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. As a result, the pan will heat up.
Of course, the pan has to be adapted:
- All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (this can be verified with a magnet): cast iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms …
- Are excluded: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware, …
The induction heating zone is able to automatically detect the size of a pan.
If the base diameter of the pan is too small and therefore fails to adapt to the induction hob, the display will show [ U ].
Touch Control
Your induction hob is equipped with electronic controls with touch control keys. When your finger presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound.
For general use, ensure only one button is pressed at any time.
Power selection zone “SLIDER” and timer setting zone
To select the power with the slider, slide your finger on the “SLIDER” zone. You can also select the power by placing your finger directly on the chosen level.
Pan detection
The pan detection feature ensures safety. The induction doesn’t work:
- If there is no pan on the heating zone or if the pan is not adapted to the induction. In this case, it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol disappears when a suitable pan is put on the heating
- If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows [ U ]. The symbol [ U ] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The cooking continues with the power level set
After use, switch the heat element off: don’t let the pan detection [ U ] active.
Residual heat indication
After a heating zone or the entire hob is switched off, the heating zones are still hot and indicate [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched without danger. While the residual heat indicator light is on, don’t touch the heating zones and don’t put any heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.

COOKING ADVICE
Choosing the Right Cookware
Adapted materials: steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, ferromagnetic
stainless-steel, aluminium with ferromagnetic bottom.
Non-adapted materials : aluminium and stainless-steel without
ferromagnetic bottom, copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
To check if pans are compatible:
- Put some water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [ 9 ]. If [ U ] does not appear and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
- Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted and sticks to the pan, the pan is suitable.
Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise is normal and does not affect the cooking operation, nor does it mean a failure in the appliance.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
To avoid scratching the glass, always lift pans off the hob – do not slide
Pan dimension
The cooking zones are, up to a limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of
the pan. However, the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter
according to the corresponding cooking zone (see table on page 9 for the
minimum pan diameter for each cooking zone).
To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan in the centre
of the cooking zone.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.
The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforced in
their country.
How to stick the gasket:
The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the
cabinet. Installation has to be done carefully, in conformity with the
following drawing.
Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from the external edge of the glass, after removing the protection sheet (3).
Fitting – installing
The cut-out sizes and flush mounting:
Glass| Cut size| Rear| Side| Radius| Cut size|
Deep
---|---|---|---|---|---|---
A1| B1| C| D| E| F| H| A2| B2| G
520| 780| 490| 560| 50| 40| 8| 526| 786| 5
- Ensure that there is a distance of 50mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
- The hobs are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than the hob.
- The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist temperatures of up to 100°C.
- The wall or splashback behind the hob must be heat-resisting.
- Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
- There must be a space of 20mm beneath the bottom of the hob casing to ensure a good air circulation of the electronic device. (See page 20 for full ventilation information)
- If a drawer is placed under the worktop, avoid placing flammable objects (for example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects inside.
- Materials which are often used to make worktops, expand on contact with water. To protect the cut-out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with smooth work top surfaces.
- The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions, use a minimum distance of 600mm.
- After installation, make sure the connection cord is not being constrained e.g. by the drawer.
- WARNING: Only use hob guards designed by the manufacturer, indicated as suitable in the manufacturer’s instructions for the appliance, or those that have been incorporated into the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.
Ventilation requirements
To ensure adequate ventilation of your induction hob, please ensure the
installation requirements shown in this diagram are followed.
A 5mm gap at the front of the unit must be left, and a minimum 10mm gap must
be cut out at the back of the cabinet to allow air to circulate.
A minimum distance of 20mm must be left between the underside of the hob and
the appliance directly below. If a drawer is intalled below the hob, a minimum
distance of 40mm must be left between the underside of the hob, and the
contents of the drawer.
Over filling the drawer may effect the airflow. If the drawer is overfilled or
the ventilation requirements not followed, this will void the guarantee.
