SAFETY ADVICE
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO BE READ CAREFULLY AND KEPT FOR FUTURE
USE.
This guide can be downloaded from the brand web site.
This appliance may be used by children aged 8 years and over and by persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or persons without
experience and knowledge, if they have been properly informed or trained in
the safe use of the appliance and understand the resulting risks.
Children must not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and maintenance by the user must not be carried out by unsupervised
children.
Children under 8 years of age should be kept away unless they are supervised
at all times.
The appliance and its accessible parts become hot during use. Precautions
should be taken to avoid touching the heating elements.
Metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be placed on
the surface as they can become hot.
Your hob has a child lock which locks the hob when it is switched off or
during cooking (see chapter: using the child lock).
Your appliance complies with the European Directives and regulations to which
it is subject.
These hobs must be connected to the mains supply via an omni polar
disconnecting device that complies with the installation rules in force. A
disconnecting device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
Your cooktop is designed to operate at 50Hz or 60Hz (50Hz/60Hz) without any
special intervention on your part.
After use, switch off the hob by means of the control unit and do not rely on
the pot sensor.
In order to prevent interference between your cooktop and a pacemaker, the
pacemaker must be designed and adjusted in accordance with the relevant
regulations. Ask the manufacturer or your doctor about this.
Unattended cooking with oil or fat on a hob can be dangerous and may result
in a fire. NEVER attempt to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the
appliance before covering the flame with e.g. a lid or fire blanket.
CAUTION: Cooking must be supervised. Short cooking times require
continuous supervision. Risk of fire: Do not store objects on the cooking
areas. If the surface is cracked, disconnect the appliance to avoid the risk
of electric shock.
Do not use the hob again until the glass top has been replaced.
Avoid shocks to the cookware: the glass-ceramic surface is very resistant, but
not unbreakable.
Do not place a hot lid flat on your cooktop. A “suction cup” effect could
damage the glass-ceramic top. Avoid rubbing the cookware, as this may cause
damage to the glass-ceramic top in the long run.
Never use aluminium foil for cooking. Never place products wrapped in
aluminium or in aluminium trays on your hob.
The aluminium will melt and permanently damage the appliance.
Do not store cleaning agents or flammable products in the cabinet under the
cooktop.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service centre or similarly qualified persons to avoid danger.
Make sure that the power cable of an electrical appliance connected in the
vicinity of the cooktop does not come into contact with the cooking zones.
Never use a steam cleaner to clean your hob.
The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or
a separate remote control system.
CAUTION: Only use hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking
appliance, referred to in the operating instructions as suitable, or
incorporated into the appliance. The use of unsuitable guards may cause
accidents.

IDENTIFICATION
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
For future use, remove all protective elements.
Check and respect the appliance’s characteristics that appear on the
nameplate.
Note in the boxes below the service and standard references shown on this
plate.
Service : ……………………………………………………………….
Type : ……………………………………………………………………
ENCLOSURE
Check that the air intake and outlet are free of obstruction Comply with the
information concerning the fitting dimensions (in millimeters) of the work top
destined to receive the hob. Check that air circulates correctly between the
front and the back of your hob
If you are installing the hob above a drawer, or above a built-in oven, comply
with the dimensions provided on the illustrations to ensure a sufficient air
outlet at the front.
Carefully glue the sealing joint to the entire surround of the glass hob
insert the table into the cabinet
Important
If your hob is located above your oven, the hob’s thermal safety devices can
impede the simultaneous use of the hob and the oven’s pyrolysis programme,
display code “F7” in the control zones. In such circumstances we recommend
that you increase the hob’s ventilation by creating an opening in the side of
the cabinet (8 x 5 cm).
Electric connections
These hobs must be connected to the power grid via an all-pole cut-off device
that complies with installation regulations in effect. A disconnection device
must be incorporated into the fixed wiring.
Identify the type of cable of your hob according to the number of wires and
colours.
When switching your hob on or after a lengthy power cut, a code is shown on
the control pad (this display is reserved for your after-sales service, where
applicable. The user of the hob does not need to take notice of it).
This information disappears after around 30 seconds.
USE
CHOICE OF COOKWARE
Most cookware is compatible with induction. Only glass, earthenware, aluminium
without a special bottom, copper and some non-magnetic stainless steel do not
work with induction cooking.
Tips
We suggest that you choose cookware with a thick and flat bottom. The heat
will be distributed better and cooking will be more uniform.
Advice on how to save energy Cooking with the correctly sized lid saves
energy.
If you use a glass lid, you can control
BURNER SELECTION
Select the burner which is the right size for the bottom of your cookware (see
table). If the base or the cookware is too small, the power indicator will
start to flash and the burner will not work, even if the cookware’s material
is recommended for induction.
Do not use containers with a smaller diameter than that of the fireplace (see
table).
Diameter of burner (cm)| Maximum power of burner (Watts)| Diameter of bottom
of cookware
---|---|---
16| 2500| 10 – 18
18| 3600| 11 – 22
21| 3600| 12 – 24
Horizone| 4000| 18 – Oval Fishmonger
Tips
When using the two hobs simultaneously, the hob manages the power distribution
so as not to exceed the total power of the hob.
When using the maximum power (Ultra Boost) on several hobs at the same time,
make sure that you use the best position for your containers according to the
model of your hob as shown in the illustrations.
This will avoid automatic power limitation on one of the hobs if the
positioning is not optimal:
= Recommended positioning
= positioning to be avoided
Power management

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Residual heat:
After intensive use, the cooking zone that you have just used can remain hot
for several minutes.
The symbol H is displayed during this period.
Avoid touching the areas concerned during this time.
Anti-overheat protection:
Each cooking zone has a safety sensor that constantly monitors the temperature
of the bottom of the cookware. In the event that empty cookware is left on a
cooking zone that is switched on, the hob automatically lowers the power
output and thus limits any risk of damage.
Protection against overflows
A special display (symbol ), a sound signal, followed with the hob switching
off, may be triggered in the following cases:
– Overflow that spills onto the buttons
– Damp towel placed over the buttons.
– Metallic object placed on the buttons
Remove the object or clean and dry the touch controls, then restart cooking.
Auto-Stop :
Your hob has an auto-stop device, which automatically stops any cooking zone
which remains switched on for an excessive length of time (between 1 and 10
hours depending on the power used).
If this safety system is triggered, the cut-off to the cooking zone is shown
with the “A” display on the control panel and a beep sounds for about 2
minutes. Simply press any of the buttons to stop this.
Tips
Sounds which are similar to those of a clock mechanism may be given off.
These noises occur when the hob is working. They disappear or reduce depending
on the heating configuration. There may also be whistling sounds depending on
the model and quality of your cookware. The noises described are normal.
They are related to induction technology and do not indicate a problem.
Tips
We do not recommend a protective device.
MAINTENANCE
For light dirt, use a disinfectant sponge. Thoroughly moisten the zone to be
cleaned with hot water, then wipe off.
For a build-up of baked-on dirt or sweet overflows, use a disinfectant sponge
and/or a special glass scraper.
Thoroughly moisten the zone to be cleaned with hot water.
Use a scraper for glass to remove the large bits, finish off with a
disinfectant sponge, and then wipe off.
For rings and hard water residue, apply warm white vinegar to the stain, leave
on, then wipe with a soft cloth.
For shiny metal streaks or weekly maintenance, use a special vitroceramic
glass product.
Important note: do not use any powders or abrasive sponges. Use creams
and special delicate glassware sponges.
