Practical advice on using the appliance
! Use cookware made from materials which are
compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic
material). We especially recommend pans made from:
cast iron, coated steel or special stainless steel adapted
for induction. Use a magnet to test the compatibility of
the cookware.

In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise the
cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough
to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the available
heat.
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always clean
and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life of both
the cooking zones and the cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used
on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners
may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to adhere
correctly.
Safety devices
Pan sensor
Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor device.
The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with suitable
measurements for the cooking zone is placed on it.
The “u” sign on the display appears if after
selecting the cooking zone the pan is not placed on a
heater , or in case of:
• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.
After 10 sec. with no pan on the heating zone, a warning
beep signal is emmited.
After 60 sec. with no pan on the heating zone,, the heater
switches off.
Overheating protection
If the electronic elements overheat, the number signalizing
the power level starts flashing, and the letter “c” appears
on the display. When the temperature has reached a
suitable level, this message disappears and the hob may
be used again.
Safety switch
The appliance has a safety switch which automatically
switches the cooking zones off after they have been in
operation for a certain amount of time at a particular power
level. When the safety switch has been triggered, the display
shows “0”.
For example: the right rear hotplate is set to 5 and will
switch off after 5 hours of continuous operation, while the
front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 8 hours.
When one or more keys are activated for more than
10 sec. the touch control. switches off
A warning beep sounds is emmited every 10
sec., while the key/s is/are activated.
With all heaters at zero power during 10 sec. the
Cooktop is switched off.
If the switching off is due to an accidental activa-
tion of keys, the touch control actuates as above.
Buzzer
This can also indicate several irregularities:
• An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on the
control panel for more than 10 seconds.
• Something has been spilt on the control panel.
• A button has been pressed for too long. All of the above
situations may cause the buzzer to sound. Remove the
cause of the malfunction to stop the buzzer. If the cause of
the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep sounding
and the hob will switch off.
Errors and Alarms
When an error is detected, the whole appliance or the
heater/s are switched off, a beep sounds (only if one or
more heaters are active) and all displays show a ‘F’
letter and the error code (an index number or a letter)
alternately.
If the problem does not disappear by itself, please
contact the Technical Service.
Switching off the hob
Press the button to switch off the appliance - do not
rely solely on the pan sensor.
If the control panel lock has been activated, the controls
will continue to be locked even after the hob is switched
on again. In order to switch the hob on again, you must
first remove the lock function.
! Do not use adapters, diffusers, or metal plates on the
cooking zones .They may have a detrimental effect
upon the hob’s performance, and might damage the
hob’s aesthetics.
