Product description

Cooking surface layout

The cooking surface has two cooking areas:

1. Single cooking area (160 mm) 1400W, with Booster 2100W.
2. Single cooking area (160 mm) 1400W, with Booster 2100W.
3. Control panel.

Cooking surface layout diagram: Illustrates the two cooking zones (1 and 2) and the control panel (3) on the hob surface.

Indicators

Pot detection

Each of the cooking areas is equipped with a system to detect the presence of a pan. The pan presence detection system recognises pans with a magnetisable base suitable for use with induction hobs. If the pan is removed during operation, or if an unsuitable pan is used, the display shows the symbol [pan-not-detected].

Residual heat indicator

The residual heat indicator is a safety feature, indicating that the surface of the cooking area is still at a temperature of 50° C or above, which may cause burns if touched by a naked hand. The digit for the corresponding cooking area displays 'H'.

Control panel

Control panel diagram: Shows the control panel with numbered buttons and displays: 1. On/Off button, 2. Power level indicator, 3. Button to select cooking area, 4. Power level / Timer control, 5. Cooking time indicator.

Functions

Power limitation

When first connecting to the domestic power supply, the installer must set the power of the hob cooking areas based on the actual abilities and capacity of the power supply itself. If this is not necessary, the hob can be turned on directly using the [On/Off] button, otherwise, follow the operations below to access the menu.

• Connect the hob to the domestic mains power.
• All the digits light up for a few seconds.
• As soon as the digits go out, press the hob selection buttons [select cooking area] and hold for 5 seconds until the current setting appears in the timer digits.
• Use " + " and " - " to select a suitable power absorption, following the table provided below.
• Press the hob selection buttons again and hold them for 5 seconds to confirm selection.

Cooking Table

Cookware guidance

What pots to use

Only use pots and pans with bottom made from ferromagnetic material which are suitable for use with induction hobs:

• cast iron
• enamelled steel
• carbon steel
• stainless steel (although not all)
• aluminium with ferromagnetic coating or ferromagnetic plate

To determine if a pot or pan is suitable, check for the [magnet-symbol] symbol (usually stamped on the bottom). You can also hold a magnet to the bottom. If it clings to the underside, the cookware will work on an induction hob.

To ensure optimum efficiency, always use pots and pans with a flat bottom that distributes the heat evenly. If the bottom is uneven, this will affect power and heat conduction.

How to use

Minimum diameter of pot/pan base for the different cooking areas

To ensure that the hob functions properly, the pot must cover one or more of the reference points indicated on the surface of the hob, and must be of a suitable minimum diameter. Always use the cooking area that best corresponds to the diameter of the bottom of the pan.

Empty or thin-based pots/pans

Do not use empty or thin-based pots/pans on the hob as it will not be able to monitor the temperature or turn off automatically if the temperature is too high, damaging the pan or the hob surface. If this occurs, do not touch anything and wait for all components to cool down. If an error message appears, refer to “Troubleshooting”.

Hint/Tips

Noise during cooking

When a cooking area is active, it may hum briefly. This is a characteristic of all induction cooking zones and does not impair the function or life of the appliance. The noise depends on the cookware used. If it causes considerable disturbance, it may help to change the cookware.

Normal operating noises of the induction hob

Induction technology is based on the creation of electromagnetic fields to generate heat directly on the bottom of cookware. Pots and pans may cause a variety of noises or vibrations depending on how they are manufactured. These noises are described as follows:

• Low humming (like a transformer): This noise is produced when cooking at a high heat level. It is based on the amount of energy transferred from the cooktop to the cookware. The noise ceases or quiets down when the heat level is reduced.
• Quiet whistling: This noise is produced when the cooking vessel is empty. It ceases once liquids or food are placed in the vessel.
• Crackling: This noise occurs with cookware comprised of various materials layered one upon the other. It is caused by the vibrations of the surfaces where different materials meet. The noise occurs on the cookware and can vary depending on the amount of food or liquid and the cooking method (e.g., boiling, simmering, frying).
• Loud whistling: This noise occurs with cookware comprised of different materials layered one upon the other, and when they are additionally used at maximum output and also on two cooking zones. The noise ceases or quiets down when the heat level is reduced.

These sounds are normal.

Fan noises

For proper operation of the electronic system, it is necessary to regulate the temperature of the cooktop. For this purpose, the cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan, which is activated to reduce and regulate the temperature of the electronic system. The fan may also continue to run after the appliance is turned off if the detected temperature of the cooktop is still too hot after turning it off.

Rhythmic sounds, similar to the ticking sound of a clock

This noise occurs only when at least three cooking zones are operating and disappears or weakens when some of them are switched off. The noises described are a normal element of the described induction technology and should not be regarded as defects.

Care and cleaning

• Never use abrasive sponges, wire wool, hydrochloric acid or other products that might scratch or mark the surface.
• Food that falls accidentally or builds up on the surface, the functional or aesthetic elements of the Hob must not be eaten.
• Switch off or unplug the appliance from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work.
• Clean the appliance after every use, to prevent any residual food from burning on. It is much harder work to remove crusted and burned-on dirt.
• For day-to-day dirt, use a soft cloth or sponge and a suitable detergent. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding detergents to be used. The use of protective detergents is recommended.
• Remove crusted dirt, for example milk that has boiled over, using a scraper pad suitable for vitreous ceramic, while the cooke-hob is still hot. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding scraper pads to be used.
• Remove food containing sugar, for example jam that has spilled during cooking, using a scraper pad suitable for vitreous ceramic, while the Hob is still hot. If you do not, the residue may damage the vitreous ceramic surface.
• Remove any melted plastic using a scraper pad suitable for vitreous ceramic, while the Hob is still hot. If you do not, the residue may damage the vitreous ceramic surface.
• Remove limescale using a small amount of limescale remover solution, for example vinegar or lemon juice, once the Hob has cooled down. Then clean again with a damp cloth.
• Do not cut or prepare foodstuffs on the surface, and do not drop hard objects onto it. Do not drag pans or plates over the surface.
• Do not use steam cleaning equipment.

Troubleshooting

Maintenance and repairs

• Make sure that maintenance on electrical components is only carried out by the manufacturer or by the service technicians.
• Make sure that damaged cables are only replaced by the manufacturer or by the service technicians.
