SAFETY GUIDELINES

We have designed this cooking hob for use by private persons in their homes.

These cooking hobs are meant to be used exclusively for cooking beverages and foodstuffs and do not contain any asbestos-based materials

.This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or persons lacking experience or awareness, unless using it with the help of a person reponsible for their safety, or under supervision and with prior instruction in its use. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Consequently, we can only guarantee that our own product is compliant.

With regard to the compliance of the pacemaker or any potential incompatibility, you can obtain information from the manufacturer or your attending physician.

Electrical Danger

Ensure that the power cables of any electrical appliances plugged in close to the hob are not in contact with the cooking zones.

If a crack appears in the glass worktop, immediately disconnect your appliance to avoid the risk of electric shock.

To do this, remove the fuses or use the circuit breaker.

Do not use your hob until you have replaced the glass worktop.

A cooking zone can remain hot for several minutes after use.

Avoid touching the hot areas during this time.

Your hob is equipped with a child safety device that locks its operation after use or during cooking (See " Child Safety use" section).

Do not forget to unlock it before using the hob again.

• For users of pacemakers and active implants

The functioning of the hob conforms to current electromagnetic interference standards and thus is in total compliance with legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives).

In order to avoid interference between your cooking hob and a pacemaker, your pacemaker must be designed and programmed in compliance with the regulations that apply to it.

The building-in method opposite is recommended for use above an oven or a built-in appliance.

BUILDING-IN

Follow the diagram above.

Glue the foam seal underneath your appliance, following the perimeter of the hole in the worktop, upon which your appliance will rest. This will ensure a good seal against the worktop.

Attach the clips to the hob (depending on the model).

On 30, 38, 80 and 90 cm models, ensure that the upper rail across the front of the cabinet does not impede the air flow. If necessary, cut a chamfer.

MIN 4 mm

Tip

If your hob is located above your oven, the hob’s thermal safety devices can impede the simultaneous use of the hob and the oven’s pyrolysis program.

Your hob is equipped with an anti-overheating safety system.

This safety device can trigger, for example, when the hob is installed over an oven that is not sufficiently insulated. If this occurs, a series of small lines appears on the control panel. In such circumstances we recommend that you increase the hob’s ventilation by creating an opening in the side of the cabinet, (8 x 5 cm), and/or installing an oven insulation kit available from the after-sales department.

Inductor

Electronic board

Induced electric current

The principle of induction is based on a magnetic phenomenon.

When you place your cookware on a cooking zone and you turn it on, the electronic boards in your cooking hob produce "induced" currents in the bottom of the cookware and instantly raise its température. This heat is then transferred to the food, which is simmered or seared depending on your settings.

•Cookware

Most cookware is compatible with induction.

Only glass, terra cotta, aluminium without a special finish on the bottom, copper and some non-magnetic stainless steels do not work with induction cooking.

We recommend that you select cookware with a thick, flat bottom. The heat will be distributed better and cooking will be more uniform.

Tip

To check the suitability of your cookware:

Place the vessel on a cooking zone at power level 4.

If the display remains on, your cookware is compatible.

If the display flashes, your cookware cannot be used with induction cooking.

You can also use a magnet to test the cookware.

If a magnet "sticks" to the bottom of the cookware, it is compatible with induction.

By choosing cookware that displays this logo on its bottom or on its packaging, you can be certain that it is perfectly compatible with your hob under normal operating conditions.

To help you choose, a list of cookware is provided with this guide.

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL

It is possible to silence the appliance, or deactivate the acoustic signals.They can only be activated or deactivated when the hob top is switched off.

CHILD SAFETY” USE

Your hob has a child safety device which locks the controls when the hob is not in use (when cleaning for example) or when it is being used for cooking (to maintain your settings). Due to safety reasons, only the “stop” control is always active. It authorises a heating zone to be switched off even when the hob is locked.

• In order to deactivate the acoustic signal, press simultaneously on the“+”power commands and “+” of on the keypad for the right or rear right cooking zone (depending on the model) until the “bE Ep”symbol appears, keep pressing until the digits disappear.

• In order to activate the acoustic signal, press simultaneously on the “+”power commands and “+” of on the keypad for the right or rear right cooking zone (depending on the model) until the “bE Ep”symbol appears, and an acoustic signal sounds, then stop pressing the buttons.

Maintain pressure on the lock key until the led on top lights up and a beep confirms your maneouver.

The display of cooking zones in operation alternately indicates power and the locking symbol .

When you press the p ow err or ttiim err controls for the zones in operation, the lock led lights up. It will switch off after a few seconds.

Only the “stop” control remains on at all times.

For cooking zones that are not in operation, the symbol and the led light up when you stto p” controls

SAFETY DURING OPERATION

• Residual heat

After intensive use, the cooking zone that you have just used can remain hot for several minutes.

Avoid touching the hot areas during this time.

• Protection against overflows

The hob may shut down (with the adjacent symbol in the display) automatically in any of these three situations:

• Temperature limiter

Each cooking zone is equipped with a safety sensor that constantly monitors the temperature of the bottom of the cookware. In the event that an empty vessel is left on a cooking zone that is on, this sensor automatically adjusts the power output of the hob, thereby avoiding any risk of damage to the cookware or the hob.

• "Small Items" safety

A small object (such as a fork, a spoon, a ring, etc.) left alone on the hob is not detected as a piece of cookware.

The display flashes and no heat is produced.

Warning

Several small objects together on a cooking zone may be detected as cookware.

If the display remains on: power may be supplied and the objects may be heated.

-- Overflow that spills onto the touch controls.

- Damp towel placed over the touch controls.

- Metallic object placed on the touch controls.

Clean the hob or remove the object, then begin cooking again.

• Auto-Stop system

If you forget to switch off a cooking zone, your hob has an "A utto Stto p s stte function which automaticallty cuts off the power to the cooking zone, after a predefined period (between 1 and 10 hours depending on the power used).

If this safety system is used, the cutoff to the cooking zone is displayed as "A A" on the control panel and a "bip" sounds for about

2 minutes. Simply press any of the control buttons to stop this.

A double bip will confirm your action.

PROTECTING YOUR APPLIANCE

Avoid hard shocks from cookware:

The vitroceramic glass worktop is very sturdy; however, it is not unbreakable.

Do not place any hot lids flat on your cooking hob. A suction effect may damage the vitroceramic surface.

Avoid dragging cookware across the surface, which may in the long-term result in the degradation of the decorative finish of the vitroceramic top.

Avoid placing cookware on the frame or cover

(depending on the model).

Avoid using cookware with rough or bumpy bottoms: they can capture and transfer particles that may produce stains or scratches on your hob.

These defects that do not result in appliance malfunction or do not make it unsuitable for use are not covered by the warranty.

MAINTAINING YOUR APPLIANCE

T YP E O F S AIIN S//S OT S U E
