Advantages of induction cooking

The appliance is equipped with an induction generator for each cooking zone. Each generator located under the glass ceramic cooking surface creates an electromagnetic field which induces a thermal current in the base of the pan. This means the heat is no longer transmitted from the hob to the pan but created directly inside the pan by the inductive current.
Energy saving thanks to the direct transmission of energy to the pan (suitable magnetizable cookware is required) compared to traditional electric cooking.
Improved safety as the energy is only transmitted to the pan placed on the hob.
High level of energy transmitted from the induction cooking zone to the base of the pan.
Rapid heating speed.
Reduced danger of burns as the cooking surface is only heated under the base of the pan; foods which overflow do not stick.

USE

Basic functions
First power connection
When connected to the power supply for the first time, or after power has been switched back on after a power failure, an automatic check is carried out that control turns on the indicator lights and the displays for a few seconds. Afterwards, the appliance can be used normally.
Preliminary operations
See General safety instructions.
Remove any protective film from the outside or inside of the appliance, including any accessories (if present).
Remove any labels (apart from the technical data plate).

Usable cookware diameters

If you use pans with a diameter less than the one indicated in the column above, the appliance might not detect them.
Bear in mind the following:

Do not exceed the limits of the zones printed on the hob.
Do not cover the control panel.
Do not place the pans next to the edges of the glass.
If you wish to use a griddle or a long pan in zones 1 and 2 in Multizone mode, it is recommended that you use one with a maximum size of 22 x 36 cm and a minimum size of 19 x 19 cm.
Cookware suitable for use in induction cooking
Cookware used on the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, with magnetic properties and a sufficiently large base.

Suitable cookware:

Enamelled steel cookware with thick bases.
Cast iron cookware with an enamelled base.
Cookware in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel and aluminium with a special base.

Unsuitable cookware:

Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta cookware.

Advice on energy-saving
To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a small amount of water in the pan, place it on a cooking zone and start the hot plate. If the symbol appears on the display, it means the pan is not suitable.

Advice on energy-saving
The diameter of the base of the pan must correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.

When buying a pot, check whether the diameter indicated is that of the base or the top, as the top is almost always larger than the base.
The base of the cookware must be thick and completely flat. In addition, the hob should be clean and dry as well.
When preparing dishes with long cooking times, you can save time and energy by using a pressure cooker, which also makes it possible to preserve the vitamins in the food.
Make sure that the pressure cooker contains enough liquid as, if there is not enough and it overheats, this may cause damage to both the pressure cooker and the cooking zone.
If possible, always cover the pans with a suitable lid.
Choose a pan suitable for the quantity of food to be cooked. A large, half-empty saucepan leads to a waste of energy.
Do not use cast-iron cookware or cookware with a rough base.
If hob and oven are being used at the same time, under certain conditions the maximum power limit that can be used by your electrical system might be exceeded.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the glass ceramic hob
See General safety instructions.
Cleaning the surfaces
To keep the surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first.
Ordinary daily cleaning
Always and only use specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids. Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
In case of stubborn dirt, clean when cold using a damp kitchen sponge and neutral detergent; then dry with a microfibre cloth.
Weekly cleaning
Clean and maintain the hob once a week using an ordinary glass ceramic cleaning product. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions. The silicon in these products creates a protective, water-repellent membrane which also resists dirt. All marks stay on the membrane and can therefore be removed easily. After cleaning, dry the surface with a clean cloth. Make sure that there is no detergent left on the cooking surface as it might undergo an aggressive reaction when heated up and could modify the structure of the cooking surface.
Food stains or residues
Light coloured marks from pans with aluminium bases can be easily cleaned off with a cloth moistened in vinegar. Remove any burnt-on residues after cooking; then rinse with water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Dirt, which may have fallen on the hob while cleaning lettuce or potatoes, can scratch the hob when moving pans. Consequently, remove any dirt from the cooking surface immediately. Changes in colour do not affect the operation and stability of the glass. These are not alterations to the material of the hob but just residues which have not been removed and have then carbonised. Shiny surfaces can form due to the bases of pans, especially aluminium ones, rubbing on the surface, and due to the use of
91477B096/B unsuitable detergents. They are difficult to remove using conventional cleaning products. It may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process several times. Use of corrosive detergents or rubbing of pan bases can wear away the decoration on the hob over time and contribute to the formation of stains.
We recommend the use of cleaning products distributed by the manufacturer.
After cleaning, dry the appliance thoroughly to prevent any water or detergent from interfering with its operation or creating unsightly marks.
What to do if…
The hob does not work:
Make sure that the cooking temperature is not too high or too low.
Make sure that the hob is properly ventilated and that the air inlets are unobstructed.
Use cookware that is certified and tested for induction cooking.
The cooking results are unsatisfactory:
Make sure that the cooking temperature is not too high or too low.
Make sure that the hob is properly ventilated and that the air inlets are unobstructed.
Use cookware that is certified and tested for induction cooking.

The hob smokes

Let the hob cool down and clean it once cooking is complete.
Make sure that the food has not spilled out of the pan and use a larger cooking vessel, if needed.

The fuses blow or the circuit breaker of the residential electrical system trips repeatedly.

Call Technical Support or an electrician. There are cracks or fissures in the hob:
Turn off the appliance immediately, disconnect the power supply and contact Technical Support.

Safety instructions for positioning and installation

See General safety instructions.
Installation can be carried out on various materials such as masonry, metal, solid wood or plastic laminated wood as long as they are heat resistant (>90°C).
Veneers, adhesives or plastic coatings on adjacent furniture should be temperature-resistant (>90°C), otherwise they might warp over time.
If the piece of furniture does not have the required recess opening, either it will have to be cut or masonry work carried out by a competent technician.
The minimum clearance between exhaust hoods and the cooking surface must be at least the distance indicated in the exhaust hood installation instructions.
The minimum clearances must also be respected for the edges of the hob on the back as indicated in the assembly instructions.
If the appliance is to be installed above an oven, the oven must be fitted with a cooling fan.

Appliance overall dimensions (mm)

Standard and flush mounting (mm)

Flush mounting
For this type of mounting, you have to make an additional cut at the edges of the recess in the furniture if you wish to install the hob flush with the countertop.

Refer to the measurements in the table above.

Hob seal
To prevent leakage of liquid between the frame of the hob and the countertop, place the adhesive seal provided along the entire outer edge of the hob before assembly.
Do not use silicone to secure the hob. This would make it impossible to remove the hob without damaging it.
In the case of flush mounting, after placing the adhesive seal (A) on the glass surface and after positioning and securing the hob, fill the edges with insulating silicone (B) and wipe off any excess. If for any reason the hob needs to be removed, cut the silicone using a cutter before attempting to remove it (C).
Mounting
On top of oven built-in unit
The clearance between the hob and the kitchen furniture or other installed appliances must be enough to ensure sufficient ventilation and air discharge. If installed above an oven, a space must be left between the bottom of the hob and the top of the appliance installed below.
On top of empty kitchen unit or drawers
If there are other pieces of furniture (lateral walls,
drawers, etc.), dishwashers or fridges under the hob, a double-layer wooden base must be installed at least 20 mm from the bottom of the hob to avoid any accidental contact. It must only be possible to remove the double-layer base using suitable equipment.
opens on rear:
Failure to install the double-layer wooden base exposes the user to possible accidental contact with sharp or hot parts.
If installed on top of an oven, the latter must be equipped with a cooling fan.

Ventilation
The illustrations below show two examples of installation suitable for proper ventilation and one example of incorrect installation to be avoided.

Fixing to the built-in cabinet

The clips should not be installed at the front of the appliance.
To ensure the hob is fixed and centred as accurately as possible, the clips provided must be positioned as described below:

Fit the clips by gently pressing them horizontally into the appropriate space.
Then turn them upwards to fix them in place.

Instructions for the installer

If you use a plug (if present) to connect to the power supply, the plug must be accessible after installation.
