D - Recessed Dimensions

Please follow the cutout dimensions for the recess below to properly install the appliance.

For optimal appliance reliability, the hob should be installed to allow optimal air circulation to dissipate heat during cooking. It is important that the height between the hob and the furniture above it is at least 760 mm. If a hood is installed above the hob, respect the minimum height recommended by the hood manufacturer.

Similarly, if this appliance is installed above an oven or a drawer, the dimensions to respect for optimal air circulation are as follows:

Note: It is important to ensure, in the same way, that on each side of the built-in hob, there is a minimum of 10 cm of free space between the hob and the furniture.

Fixing the hob:

Before placing the fixing brackets, the appliance must be placed on a stable and smooth surface (use the packaging). Do not force the controls that protrude from the hob. Spread and stick the adhesive gasket provided along the bottom edge of the hob, ensuring that the ends overlap. Cut off the excess tape and discard it. Screw the 2 fixing brackets onto the underside of the hob (see diagram) before installing the hob in the recess.

IV - BEFORE USE

A - Advice on Energy Saving

To reduce the overall environmental impact (e.g., energy consumption), please ensure that your product is installed in accordance with the user manual, and that the space where the appliance is installed is sufficiently ventilated.

• A few minutes before the end of cooking, you can benefit from residual heat by inertia from the glass on the cookware. Simply turn off the cooking; the residual heat indicator (H) lights up as long as the zone remains hot.
• Using cookware suitable for the type of cooking and of the correct size optimizes cooking and reduces energy consumption.
• When food starts to boil, reduce the temperature.
• Using a lid reduces cooking time and saves energy by retaining heat.
• Reduce the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking time.
• Start cooking at a high temperature and reduce the temperature when the food is hot.

B - Touch Controls

The touch controls respond to a simple touch; no significant pressure is required. The touch controls are activated when the first phalanx is fully positioned on the touch control (see diagram). Each press emits a 'beep' to indicate that the requested action has been registered. Ensure that the control keys are always clean and dry and that no object obstructs their operation. Note: even a slight film of water can disrupt the proper functioning of the touch controls.

C - Cookware

The cookware used is very important for cooking, especially the base, as it is in direct contact with the hob's heating element. The following precautions will ensure reliable, efficient, and optimal cooking.

• Do not use cookware with irregular edges or a curved base.
• Ensure that the base of the pot is flat, rests flat on the glass, and is the same size as the cooking zone.
• Use cookware whose diameter is as large as the selected cooking zone. Using a slightly larger pot will utilize energy to its maximum. If the pot is smaller, the efficiency may be lower than expected. A pot less than 140 mm may not be detected by the hob. Always center the cookware on the cooking zone.
• Always lift cookware from the hob surface; do not slide them, as they could scratch the glass.

D - Induction Operation

Induction cooking is a safe, advanced, efficient, and economical cooking technology. It works using electromagnetic fields that generate heat directly in the pot, rather than indirectly by heating the glass surface. The glass only becomes hot because the pot eventually reheats it.

Choosing the right cookware for an induction hob. Only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable for induction cooking. Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pot. You can check if your cookware is suitable by performing a magnetic test. Bring a magnet close to the bottom of the pot. If it is attracted, the pot is suitable for induction. If you don't have a magnet:

1. Put water in the pot you want to check.
2. Follow the steps described in the "Start of cooking" section.
3. If the ʹ symbol flashes and the water does not heat up, the pot is not suitable.

Cookware made from the following materials is not suitable: pure stainless steel, aluminum or copper without a magnetic base, glass, wood, porcelain, ceramic, and earthenware. If the base of the cookware is only partially ferromagnetic, only the ferromagnetic zone will heat up. This may mean that the heat is not distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic zone may not reach a sufficient temperature for cooking. The ferromagnetic zone will also be reduced if the cookware base material contains aluminum, for example. This may mean that the cookware will not get hot enough or may not even be detected. The material(s) of the cookware base can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans made of materials that distribute heat evenly, such as stainless steel pans with a three-layer base, saves time and energy. Use flat-bottomed cookware; if the bottom of the cookware is uneven, it can impair heat transfer. It is also important that the diameter of the cookware is sufficient for automatic detection, and therefore for the hob to operate.

The table below shows the minimum diameters of cookware to use.
