CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
the appliance. This appliance is marked in compliance with European
Directive 2012/19/EU, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent
negative consequences for the environment and human health.
DISPOSAL OF PACKAGING MATERIALS
Make the most of your hot plate’s residual heat by switching it off a few
minutes before you finish cooking.
The base of your pot or pan should cover the hot plate completely; a
container that is smaller than the hot plate will cause energy to be wasted.
Cover your pots and pans with tight-fitting lids while cooking and use
as little water as possible. Cooking with the lid off will greatly increase
energy consumption.
Use only flat-bottomed pots and pans.
 WARNING: Ensure that the appliance is switched

ATTENTION: the power supply cable must be long enough to allow the cooktop to be removed from the worktop and must be positioned so as to
avoid damage or overheating caused by contact with the base.
• Remove the terminal cover (A) by unscrewing the screw and insert the cover into the hinge (B) of the terminal.
• Plug the power cord into the clamp and connect the wires to the terminal block as shown in the wiring diagram located near the terminal.
• Secure the power cable with the cable clamp.

ACCESSORIES
POTS AND PANS
Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic
material which are suitable for use with induction hobs.
To determine whether a pot is suitable, check for the
symbol (usually stamped on the bottom). A magnet
may be used to check whether pots are magnetic. The
quality and the structure of the pot base can alter cooking performance.

NO
RECOMMENDED POT BOTTOM WIDTHS
Place the pot on the required cooking zone before switching the hob on.
For good cooking results, the diameter of the base of the pot should
match the size of the hotplate.
IMPORTANT: The cooking zones will not switch on if pots are not the right
size.
To determine the size of the pot please measure the base of the pot and
refer to recommended pots bottom width table, for perfect usage and
correct pan detection. Each cooking zone has a minimum limit of detecting
pans, which varies depending on the material of the pan being used. You
should therefore use the cooking zone that is most suitable for the diameter
of your pan.

RECOMMENDED POT POSITION
For best performance, when you use two pots simultaneously, put them
according to the pictures below:
IMPORTANT: To avoid a permanent damage the hob:
• do not use pots with bottoms that are not flat;
• do not use metal pots with enamelled bottom;
• do not place hot pots/pans over the control panel.
FIRST TIME USE
POWER MANAGEMENT
Thanks to the “Power management” function, the user can set the
maximum power the hob can reach, as required.
This setting is possible at any time and is maintained until the next change.
By setting the required maximum power, the hob automatically adjusts
distribution in the various cooking zones, ensuring that this limit is never
exceeded; with the advantage of also being able to manage all the zones
simultaneously, but without overload problems.
4 maximum power levels are available and showed on display: 2.5 kW –
4.0 kW – 6.0 kW – 7.2 kW (7.2 kW is considered as max. power of cooktop).
At the time of purchase, the hob is set to maximum power.
To set the hob power:
After plugging the appliance into the electrical socket, in the first 60
seconds it is possible to set the required power level by running the
following points:
•
Press for approximately 3 seconds button

to select the required power. The display

•
Press the Power Management button
to confirm the previous
step. The display shows the set level which flashes for approximately
2 seconds; after which the hob emits an acoustic signal and then
turns itself off; it is now ready for use.
In case of an error when setting the power, the symbol
appears in
the middle and an acoustic signal sounds for about 5 seconds. In this
case repeat the configuration procedure from the beginning. If the error
occurs again, contact the After-Sales Service.
During normal use, if the user tries to increase the maximum available
power level when reached, the level of the zone in use flashes twice and
an acoustic signal sounds.
To obtain a higher power in that zone, it is necessary to manually
decrease the power level of one or more already active cooking zones.
DAILY USE

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
The hob is fitted with a residual heat indicator for each cooking zone.
These indicators alert the user when cooking zones are still hot.
If the display shows , the cooking zone is still hot. If the residual
heat indicator of a given cooking zone is lit, that zone can be used, for
example, to keep a dish warm or to melt butter.
When the cooking zone cools down, the display goes off.
INCORRECT OR MISSING POT INDICATOR
If you are using a pot that is not suitable, not correctly positioned or not
of the correct dimensions for your induction hob, the message “no pot”
will appear in the display (
). In these situations it is recommended
to reposition the pot on the hob surface until you find the position of
operation. If no pot is detected within 60 seconds, the hob switches off.
FAST BOIL FUNCTION (BOOSTER)
This function, only present on some cooking zones, makes it possible to
exploit the hob’s maximum power (for example to bring water to the
boil very quickly).
To activate the function, press the “+” button until “P” appears on the
display. After 5 minutes’ use of the booster function, the appliance
automatically sets the zone to level 9.
ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION OF THE ACOUSTIC SIGNAL

•
Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads as they may damage
the glass.
After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits
and stains from food residue.
Sugar or foods with a high sugar content can damage the hob and
must be immediately removed.
Salt, sugar and sand could scratch the glass surface.
Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a specific hob cleaner
(follow the Manufacturer’s instructions).
Spills of liquid in the cooking zones can cause the pots to move or
vibrate.
After cleaning the hob, dry thoroughly.
If the iXelium™ logo appears on the glass, the hob has been treated
with iXelium™ technology, an exclusive Whirlpool finish which ensures
perfect cleaning results, as well as keeping the surface of the hob shiny
for longer.
To clean iXelium™ hobs, follow these recommendations:
• Use a soft cloth (microfibre is best) dampened with water or with
everyday glass cleaning detergent.
• For best results, leave a wet cloth on the glass hob surface for a few
minutes.
