Cooking zone control
Each cooking zone is controlled by a set comprising two parts:
•
•
a top part,
a lower part.
•
To turn on a cooking zone and turn up the heat, press the top part of the key corresponding to
the chosen zone.The power setting is directly proportional to the amount of time your finger presses
the key itself, and is displayed with the utmost precision on the power level display (15 stages).
To turn down the heat, press the lower part of the key.
To set the maximum power quickly, press the lower part of the key briefly: the 15 temperature
stages are immediately lit (the cooking zone is on 100% power).
•
•
•
•
To turn off the cooking zone, press both the lower and top parts of the key simultaneously: the
zone power goes straight back down to zero and the power level display turns off;
or press the lower part: the cooking zone power decreases gradually, as does the power level
display, until they both turn off.

When the hob is in use, you can lock the control panel to avoid any accidental changes to the settings (by children or when
cleaning, for example). Just touch the
key, and the indicator light beside the key turns off.
To change the power level setting or stop cooking, the controls have to be unlocked: press the
key for 2 seconds:
the controls are enabled again.
Safety devices
Several safety devices have been fitted onto the hob to protect its electronic components.After unlocking the control panel,
if no keys are pressed for 30 minutes, the unlock indicator light turns off: the hob is locked.
Blinking indicators and acoustic signal
Anomalies such as:
•
•
•
an object (such as a saucepan or a lid, etc.) placed for more than 10 seconds on the control zone,
boiled-over liquids or food spilled on the control zone,
prolonged pressure on a key,...
could cause the acoustic signal to sound, followed by the blinking of the 4 power level displays; the control panel
indicator light turns off and the cooking zone(s) in use turn(s) off.
•
•
to stop the beep from sounding, remove the cause of the malfunction,
to put a stop to the blinking, press key

Overheating
Prolonged use of the hob could cause the electronic components to overheat.
A thermal protection device momentarily sets a reduced power (setting 3) on the right-hand cooking zones.The power
level displays blink in sequence to advise you that this safety measure has been taken.
When the temperature has gone back to normal, the power level display sequential blinking stops, the power settings
remains low but the zones can be used at higher power settings if need be.

Using the cooking zones
The "Haloring" cooking zone comprises a circular halogen lamp for the optimum distribution of the heat radiated. Its
properties are similar to those of gas burners, making it ideal for quick frying over a high flame, frying and all other cooking
processes requiring a rapid rise in temperature.
The "Quickring" radiant cooking zone comprises several coils that guarantee the distribution of the heat over the
bottom of the cookware.The stable and homogeneous distribution of heat will guarantee the success of all cooking on low
heat. simmering, sauces or reheating.
Cooking zone control
Halogen zones and radiant zones feature touch controls with 15 stages to ensure the correct supply of energy according
to time: the cooking zones do not heat constantly, but rather in pre-set sequences. Consequently they offer the utmost
reliability, extremely quick temperature rises and accurate control, ideal for cooking over very low heat and for simmering
delicate dishes.
very fierce (steaks, to bring liquids to the boil, etc.),
fierce (fish, omelettes, etc.),
moderate - simmering (pasta and rice on reaching boiling point, potatoes, stews, blanquette, vegetables, fruit,
soups, sauerkraut, hotpots, etc.),
low (to reduce sauces, scrambled eggs, keeping food warm, etc.),
very low (melted butter, melted chocolate, etc.).
What cookware to use
•
•
•
•
Use pans with a very thick flat bottom so they adhere fully to the heating zone.
The diameter of the pans must match the diameter of the cooking zone so that all the available heat can be used.
Avoid at all costs all cookware with irregular rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.
It is preferable that you cover your cookware with a suitable lid to speed up the rise in temperature.

Maintenance and useful tips
Maintenance
Turn the hob off by pressing the
key.
Should you accidentally press the ON/OFF key and turn the hob back on during cleaning, turn it off immediately.
The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is smooth and poreless and it is also resistant to thermal shocks and
to mechanical shocks under normal conditions of use. In order to preserve these properties, we recommend you care for
your hob as follows:
•
•
•
for ordinary maintenance, just wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper towels.
If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry thoroughly.
food residue and dirt can be removed using a special scraper. Do this as soon as possible, do not wait for the hob
to cool down in order to avoid incrustations.For excellent results, use a special stainless steel wool pad for vitroceramic
glass cleaning soaked in soapy water.
•
When the hob is clean, you can apply a special product for the care and protection of the same: this type of product
leaves an invisible film on the surface of the hob to protect the same against any spills and boiled-over food. It is best
if you do this when the hob is lukewarm or cold.
•
•
Make sure you always rinse the hob with clean water and dry it thoroughly: otherwise the cleaning products could
become encrusted onto the hob during subsequent cooking.
Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners to clean your appliance.
Precautions
•
Never use abrasive or corrosive substances, such as aerosol cleaners for grills and ovens, stain removers or
rust removers, scouring powders and abrasive sponges: even the delicate ones could scratch the hob surface
irreversibly.
•
We recommend you keep all items which could melt away from the hob, such as plastic utensils, sugar or
products with a high sugar content.Should liquid boil over onto the hob surface, remove it immediately (while the
hob is still hot) using a razor blade scraper, in order to avoid damaging the surface.
•
•
Use this hob exclusively for cooking. Do not place items on the hob when the same is not in use. Do not use the
hob as a work surface (by placing lids, saucepans or dishcloths on it, for example), nor as a chopping board.
Never leave aluminium wrappers, aluminium foil and plastic cookware on the hob when hot or still warm.
•
If you use small electric appliances near the hob, make sure their power supply cable does not come into contact
with the hot parts of the hob.
Make sure all pan handles are always pointing inwards towards the centre of the hob to prevent any accidental
spills.
•
•
Certain fundamental rules must be followed when using electrical appliances. The following are of particular
importance:
•
•
•

Installation
•
•
•
This hob can be built into a worktop simply by cutting out the corresponding slot.
The worktop must be made with a material designed to withstand a temperature of approximately 100°C.
The hob should be positioned at least 40 mm away from the back wall or any other vertical surface in order to allow
for correct ventilation and to prevent the surfaces around the appliance from overheating.
If you wish to install the hob on top of an oven, the latter must be fitted with a cooling fan.
Try to avoid installing the hob on top of a dishwasher; if this is unavoidable, place a watertight separating element
between the two appliances.

Fastening
Your hob is supplied with a seal.
Make sure it adheres perfectly to the lower surface of the hob frame. It is extremely important that the seal covers all the
hob corners completely and that it seals the latter perfectly along all its perimeter to ensure the full airtightness between
the hob and the worktop in order to prevent any accidental spills from penetrating the furniture cabinet beneath the hob.
Very important: It is vital that you ensure the glass ceramic hob is built into a perfectly flat supporting surface.Deformations
due to improper fastening could alter the characteristics of the hob and compromise its performance.
The fastening springs are fastened by Torx screws (see diagram on the next page).
To remove the hob from its place of installation, you should either unscrew the Torx screws at the front or the Torx screws
at the back.
This is why it is vital that these screws be kept accessible at all times.
Insert the hob into the cut-out slot, applying pressure all along the perimeter of the hob frame so that the latter adheres fully
to the worktop.
