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 magnetisable 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.
Power control The hob is fitted with a power control module that optimises/limits consumption. If the overall set power level exceeds the maximum limit permitted, the electronic circuit board will automatically manage the power supplied by the hot plates. The module tries to maintain the maximum deliverable power levels. Levels set by the automatic control will appear on the display.
Priority is given to the last zone set.
The power control module does not affect the total power consumption of the appliance.

If these errors persist or if other errors appear, make a note of the code and contact Technical Support.

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 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 hob is connected and
that the main switch is turned on. · Make sure that there is no power failure. · Make sure that the fuse has not blown. In
this case replace the fuse. · Make sure that the circuit breaker of the
residential electrical system has not tripped. In this case, reset the circuit breaker.
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
