INSTALLATION

1.1 UNPACKING
Remove all the protective packing pieces. Check and respect the appliance’s characteristics that appear on the nameplate (1.1.1).
Note the service and standard references shown on this plate in the boxes below for future reference.
Service:….Type:
1. 2 BUILDING INTO A BASE UNIT
Check that the air intakes and outlets are free of obstruction (1.2.1). Comply with the information concerning the fitting dimensions (in millimetres) of the base unit destined to receive the hob.
– Fitting into the worktop See diagram (1.2.2)
– Fitting flush with the worktop See diagram (1.2.3
Except for models

Check that air circulates correctly between the front and the back of your hob.
If you are installing the hob above a drawer (1.2.4) or above a built-in oven (1.2.5), comply with the dimensions provided on the illustrations to ensure a sufficient air outlet at the front. Apply the seal all around the edge of the hob (1.2.6), before fitting.
Fit the hob into the base unit (1.2.7).
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. Your hob is equipped with an overheating prevention safety system. This safety device can trigger, for example, when the hob is installed over an oven that is not sufficiently insulated. The code «F7» then appears in the control zone. In such circumstances we recommend that you  increase the hob’s ventilation by creatingan opening in the side of the cabinet (8 x 5 cm).
1. 3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
These hobs must be connected to the mains via an all-pole cutoff device that complies with current installation regulations. 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: – 5-wire cable (1.3.1) :
a) green/yellow, b) blue, c) brown, d) black, e) grey.
When power is first supplied to your hob, or after an extended power outage, an indicator light will appear on the control panel. Wait approximately 30 seconds or press any key on the control panel to make the information disappear and use your hob (this display is normal and is reserved for use by After-Sales Service, where applicable).

2.1 POWER MANAGEMENT
The total power consumed by your hob must be consistent with the power of your electrical installation.

**** Ensure that the power selected is compatible with the hob’s fuses.
Depending on the power level selected, the division of power between the cooking zones will be affected.

2.2 CHOICE OF COOKWARE
Most cookware is compatible with induction. Only glass, terracotta, aluminium without a special base, copper and some non-magnetic stainless steels do not work with induction cooking.
We suggest that you choose cookware with a thick, flat bottom. The heat will be distributed better and cooking will be more uniform.
Never leave an empty pan to heat unattended.
**** Avoid putting cookware on the control panel.

2.3 COOKING ZONE SELECTION
There are several cooking zones available. Select one which is suitable, based on the size of the pan. If the base of the cookware is too small, the power indicator will start to flash and the cooking zone will not work, even if the cookware’s material is recommended for induction. Take care not to use pans which are smaller in diameter than the
cooking zone (see table)

Diameter of cooking zone| Max. power of cooking zone (Watts)| Diameter of bottom of cookware
---|---|---
16 cm| 2400| 10 to 18 cm
18 cm| 2800| 11 to 22 cm
23 cm| 3700| 12 to 24 cm
28 cm| 5000| 15 to 32 cm
Horizone| 5000| 18 cm, oval fish kettles
1/2 zone| 2800| 11 to 22 cm

When several cooking zones are used at the same time, the hob manages the power distribution, so as not to exceed its total power.

2.16 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Residual heat
After intensive use, the cooking area you have just used will remain hot for several minutes.
An “H” is displayed during this time (2.16.1). So, avoid touching the zones concerned.

Temperature limiter
Each cooking area is fitted with a safety sensor that continuously monitors the temperature of the bottom of the pan. In the event that an empty pan is left on a zone that is switched on, the sensor automatically adapts the power delivered by the hob and limits the risk of damaging the cookware or the hob.
Spillage protection
The hob may be switched off in the following three cases:
– A spillage in the touchkey area (2.16.2). – Damp cloth placed over the touchkeys.
– A metal object placed on the touchkeys (2.16.3) .
Remove the object or clean and dry the touchkeys and then continue cooking.
In these cases, the symbol is displayed accompanied by an audible signal.
«Auto-Stop» system
If you forget to switch off a pan, your hotplate has an “Auto-Stop” safety function that automatically switches off the forgotten cooking zone after a preset time (between 1 and 10 hours based on the power level setting).
If the safety system is triggered, the cooking zone is shown as cut off with “AS” displayed on the control panel and a beep sounds for about 2 minutes. To stop it, simply press any of the control buttons.
Sounds similar to the ticking of a clock may be heard.
These sounds occur when the hob is in operation and disappear or decrease according to the heating configuration.
Low whistling or humming may also occur depending on the model and on the quality of your pan. These noises are a normal part of induction technology and do not indicate a fault.
We do not recommend using any hob protection mechanisms.

CARE

For light soiling, use a kitchen sponge.
Use hot water to wet the area to be cleaned and then wipe dry.
For burnt on food deposits, sugary spills, melted plastic, use a scouring sponge and/or a special glass cleaning scraper. Use hot water to wet the area to be cleaned, use a special glass cleaning scraper to remove the dirt, finish off with a scouring sponge and then wipe dry.
For rings and limescale marks, apply warm white vinegar to the dirt, leave to work and then wipe dry using a soft clean cloth.
To keep metal shining brightly and for weekly cleaning, use a special glass and ceramic hob cleaning product. Apply the special product (which contains silicone and has a naturally protective effect) to the vitroceramic hob.
Important note: Do not use power or abrasive sponges. Use cleaning creams and special gentle washing up sponges.
Care of the chopping block
Some precautions must be taken to maintain your product’s quality and effectiveness. Before you use your chopping block for the first time, it should be oiled with cooking oil (one or two soup spoons rubbed over all surfaces with a clean cloth). This will maintain its appearance and ensure that it gives long service.
Care: Oil the block once a month. If the chopping board is only used for decoration, you are strongly advise to varnish it to prevent it from expanding or contracting.
NEVER wet the chopping board when cleaning it; scrape it with a knife blade or scraper to remove any excess dampness from cutting meat and keep the wood in perfect condition. What you must never do to your chopping board:
– place it in contact with pans or very hot dishes.
– keep it too close to pulsed air heating or air conditioning, since these systems dry the air.
– over-exposure to sunlight in front of a window.
– excessive temperature differences.
– clamp it between two materials without allowing for expansion, if building it in.
– fitting it on a surface which is not yet dry during construction (plaster or cement which is still damp).
