• 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 omnipolar 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.

ENCLOSURE

Check that the air intake and outlet are free of obstruction Comply with the information concerning the fitting dimensions (in millimetres) 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
28| 3750| 15 – 32
Horizone| 3750| 18 – Oval

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:

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.
