Advice and recommendations
• This appliance was designed for non-professional,
household use.
• Certain fundamental rules must be followed when using
electrical appliances.The following are of particular im-
portance:
• do not touch the appliance with wet or damp hands,
• never use the appliance when barefoot,
• never use extensions,
• never pull on the power supply cable or the appliance
itself to unplug it from the mains socket,
• Before using the appliance, read the instructions in the
owner’s manual carefully since it contains all the instruc-
tions you require to ensure safe installation, use and
maintenance. Keep this owner’s manual in a safe place
for future reference.
• When you have removed the packing, check whether
the appliance is intact. If you have any doubts, contact
a qualified professional before using the appliance.
• Never leave the packing components (plastic bags, poly-
styrene foam, nails, etc.) within the reach of children
since these are a source of potential danger.
• The appliance must be installed by a qualified techni-
cian in compliance with the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
• The latter denies all responsibility for improper installa-
tion which may harm persons and animals and damage
property.
• The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guar-
anteed if the latter is correctly and efficiently earthed, in
compliance with regulations on electrical safety. Always
ensure that this vital safety measure has been taken. If
you have any doubts, call in a qualified technician to
check the electrical system thoroughly.
• never leave the appliance exposed to atmospheric agents
(rain, sun, etc.),
• do not allow children or persons who are not familiar with
the appliance to use it without supervision.
• Always unplug the appliance from the mains or switch
off the main switch before cleaning or performing any
cleaning or maintenance operations.
• If the surface of the glass cracks, unplug the appli-
ance immediately. For any repairs, contact only an au-
thorised after-sales service centre and demand original
spare parts. Failure to comply with the above may com-
promise the safety of the appliance.
• Cut the power supply cable after disconnecting it from
the power mains when you decide not to use the appli-
ance any longer. Also make all potentially dangerous
parts of the appliance safe, above all for children who
could play with the appliance.
• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage
resulting from a system which has not been earthed cor-
rectly.
• Before powering the appliance, check whether the tech-
nical characteristics featured on the appliance data plate
correspond with those of the mains electrical system.
• Check that the current load of the mains supply and of
the power sockets is suitable for the maximum power of
the appliance, indicated on the appliance data plate. If in
doubt, contact a qualified professional.
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and me-
chanical shocks. However, it may break due to a shock
caused by a sharp object, such as a tool for exam-
ple. In this case, unplug the appliance immediately
and contact an authorised after-sales service centre
to have it repaired.
• Remember that the heating area stays hot for at least
half an hour after being turned off; please refrain from
placing any cookware or other items on the cooking zone
while still hot.
• This appliance must only be used for the purpose for
which it was expressly designed. Any other use (such
as heating a room for example) is considered to be im-
proper and consequently dangerous.
• Do not turn on the heating zones if aluminium foil or
plastic items have been placed on the hob surface.
• Do not go near the heating zones when these are still
hot.
• The manufacturer denies all responsibility for damage
resulting from improper or incorrect use of the appliance.
• If you use small electric appliances near the hob, make
sure their power supply cable does not come into con-
tact 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.
• Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is
never obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be
provided with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the
electronic components used in the appliance.
• We advise against the installation of an induction hob
above an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above
a washing machine (vibrations). In fact, there would be
insufficient space for the ventilation of electronic
components.
First use: the glue used on the hob seals may leave greasy traces on the glass surface.We recommend you wipe these
off before using the appliance, with the aid of a non abrasive cleaner. During the first few hours of use, you may detect
a smell of rubber, which will disappear quickly.

Installation and fastening
The following instructions are intended for a qualified fitter
Fastening
to guide him/her along the installation, adjustment and tech-
nical maintenance procedures as correctly as possible and
in full compliance with the applicable norms in force.
Important : unplug the hob before all operations.
Very important: It is vital that you ensure the glass ce-
ramic hob is built into a perfectly flat supporting surface.
Deformations due to improper fastening could alter the
characteristics of the hob and compromise its perform-
ance.
Installation
The fastening springs are fastened by screws (see dia-
gram).
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.
• 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.
REAR SPRING ASSEMBLY
• Try to avoid installing the hob on top of a dishwasher;
if this is unavoidable, place a watertight separating
element between the two appliances.

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical
and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old
household electrical appliances must not be disposed of
in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise
the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain
and reduce the impact on human health and the
environment.The crossed out “wheeled bin”symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when you di-
spose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their old
appliance.
Warning: If the hob is fitted above a built-in oven, the hob
and the oven must be connected to the mains separately
for safety reasons and to simplify operations when it is
necessary to pull the oven out for some reason.

Cooking zone description
Induction is the fastest cooking method available.
Unlike traditional cooking zones, the induction zone does not heat up the glass surface. The pan itself is the heating
element: the pan evenly transfers heat to its contents as long as it is made of ferromagnetic material.

The safety devices
Pan recognition
Acoustic signal
Each induction cooking zone is fitted with a pan recogni-
tion device. The cooking zone only provides heat in the
presence of a pan which is suitable for the cooking zone.
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,...
A blinking pan recognition indicator could signal:
• that the pan is made of unsuitable material, which is
not ferromagnetic,
could cause a beep to sound and the hob to turn off.
• that the diameter of the pan is too small,
• that the pan has been removed.
To stop the beep from sounding, remove the cause of the
malfunction.
To use the hob, turn it back on and re-select the cooking
zone(s) you wish to use. Set the desired heating power.
Always match the diameter of the pan with that of the
cooking zones.
Safety cut out
Warning: oval cooking zones
Oval cooking zones can only be boosted if the full oval is
enabled.
Your appliance is fitted with a safety cut out which inter-
venes after a certain amount of time (see table below)
depending on the power setting. When the safety cut out
has intervened, the power display indicates “0”.
Do not place two small saucepans on oval cooking zones.
What cookware to use
for example: the back right cooking zone is set to 5 and
the front left zone is set to 2.The back right zone will turn
off after 3 hours of operation and the front left zone will
turn off after 10 hours of operation.
Given that induction only exists when the magnetic field
is sealed by a metallic recipient, the pan stops being heated
as soon as it is taken off the cooking zone.
Use cookware made of material which is compatible
with induction (ferromagnetic material).
To unlock the controls, turn the hob off by pressing the
key.
Cast iron, enamelled steel or special induction stain-
less steel saucepans are ideal.
Copper, ceramic, earthenware, glass, terracotta, aluminium
and non magnetic stainless steel cookware is incompat-
ible with induction cooking.
The easiest way to find out whether the pan is suitable
is with a magnet. If the magnet is attracted by the pan
bottom and stays “stuck” to the same, the pan is made of
ferromagnetic material and can be used on your induction
hob.
We recommend you use pans with a very flat and thick
bottom and avoid at all costs all cookware with irregular
rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.

For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other
active implants:
The hob complies with all current standards on
electromagnetic interference.Your induction hob is therefore
perfectly in keeping with legal requirements (89/336/CEE
directives). It is designed not to create interference on any
other electrical apparatus being used on condition that the
apparatus in question also complies with this legislation.
Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic fields.
To avoid any interference between your induction hob and
a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply with
relevant regulations. In this respect, we can only guarantee
our own product conformity.Please consult the pacemaker
manufacturer or your doctor concerning its conformity or
any possible incompatibility.

Maintenance and care
Hob care
Advice on using your appliance
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 condi-
tions of use.In order to preserve these properties, we rec-
ommend you care for your hob as follows:
To get the best from your hob, it is vital that you follow a
few fundamental rules during cooking and when preparing
food.
•
Use pans with a flat bottom so they adhere fully to the
heating zone.
• 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 thor-
oughly.
• 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.
•
Always use pans whose diameter covers the cooking
zone fully so that all the available heat can be used.
• When the hob is clean, you can apply a special prod-
uct 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 prod-
ucts could become encrusted onto the hob during
subsequent cooking.
•
•
Make sure the pan base is always clean and dry, to
guarantee good contact and long life for the cooking
zones and pans alike.
Avoid using pans used normally on gas burners. The
concentration of heat on gas burners can warp the
bottom of the pan, consequently you would never obtain
the desired result when using the pan on the glass
ceramic hob.
Never leave a cooking zone on without a pan on it as
the maximum heat level would be reached very quickly,
which could damage the heating elements.
The glass ceramic hob is resistant to thermal and
mechanical shocks. However, it may break due to a
shock caused by a sharp object. In this case, unplug
the appliance immediately and contact an authorised
after-sales service centre to have it repaired.
•
•
Recommendations
• Never use abrasive or corrosive substances, such
as aerosol cleaners for grills and ovens, stain remov-
ers 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 liq-
uid boil over onto the hob surface, remove it immedi-
ately (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, sauce-
pans or dishcloths on it, for example), nor as a chop-
ping board.
Always keep your hob clean. Before proceeding with main-
tenance operations, check that all the cooking zones are
turned off and have cooled down completely.
Stainless steel frame (only on some models)
Stainless steel can stain as an effect of enduring contact
with limescale in water or as an effect of highly aggres-
sive detergents (containing phosphorus).We recommend
you rinse and dry it thoroughly after maintenance. It is
preferable to remove any water spills immediately.
• Never leave aluminium wrappers, aluminium foil and
plastic cookware on the hob when hot or still warm.
• Do not use steam cleaners or high pressure cleaners
to clean your appliance.
• Do not place metal items on the hob (such as knives,
spoons, lids, etc.).
• Never heat up unopened tins: they could burst.
The guarantee does not cover damage to the hob caused
by incorrect use.
