USE OF THE APPLIANCE

Sensitive touch

Your ceramic hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch 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.
In the case of a general use press only one key at the same time.

Display
Display Designation Description
0. Zero The heating zone is activated.
1…9 Power level Selection of the cooking level.
U No pan detection No pan or inadequate pan.
A Heat accelerator Automatic cooking.
E Error message Electronic failure.
H Residual heat The heating zone is hot.
P Power The boosted power is activated.
L Locking Control panel locking.
U Keep warm Maintain automatically of 70°C.
II Stop&Go The hob is in pause.
Ventilation

The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts his high speed when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.

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 pan 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 ].

Power selection zone “SLIDER” and timer setting zone

Select the cooking zone. The display corresponding to the selected zone will be highlighted. While the zone is activated (for a few seconds), you can adjust the power, either by sliding your finger on the slider, or by direct access.
To adjust the power of another cooking zone, wait until the previous zone is no longer activated (the highlighted display becomes normal).

Pan detection

The pan detection ensures a perfect safety. The induction doesn’t work:

  • If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this 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 pan is put on the heating zone.
  • 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 before.

After use, switch the heat element off: don’t let the pan detection [ U ] active.

Residual heat indication

After switching off of a heating zone or the complete stop of the hob, the heating zones are still hot and indicates [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched without danger.
