Heating elements
Two types of heating element may be installed,
depending on the appliance model: halogen and
radiant elements.
Halogen elements emit heat via radiation from the
halogen lamps they contain.
They have similar properties to gas burners: they are
easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly,
allowing you to see the power level instantly.
Radiant elements consist of a series of coils which
allow heat to be distributed evenly at the base of the
cookware, so that all slow-flame cooking may be
performed successfully, for example stews, sauces
or reheated dishes.

Practical advice on using the appliance
Overheating protection
To obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully
utilise the cooking zone.
If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches
• 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. If the indicator light is flashing, it may
indicate:
• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.
Residual heat indicators
Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat
indicator. This indicator signals which cooking zones
are still at a high temperature. If the power display
shows
, the cooking zone is still hot. It is
possible, for example, to keep a dish warm or melt
butter or chocolate. As the cooking zone cools, the
power display will show

Care and maintenance
GB
Switching the appliance off
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity
supply before carrying out any work on it.
Cleaning the appliance
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for
example, products in spray cans for cleaning
barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust
products, powder detergents or sponges with
abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface
beyond repair.
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on
Stainless steel frame (only in models with outer
frame)
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by
cleaning products containing phosphorus.
After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface
well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the
surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.
! Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is
similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or
degreasing products which are not suitable for use
with aluminium.
the appliance.
Disassembling the hob
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob
using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent
kitchen towel.
If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:
1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on
each side.
2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in
each corner.
3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special
glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well
and dry thoroughly.
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable
scraper. Remove spills as soon as possible,
without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid
residues forming crusty deposits. You can
achieve excellent results by using a rust-proof
steel wire sponge - specifically designed for
glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.
• If any plastic or sugary substances are
accidentally melted on the hob, remove them
immediately with the scraper, while the surface is
still hot.
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a
special protective maintenance product: the
invisible film left by this product protects the
surface from drips during cooking. This
maintenance task should be carried out while the
appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with
clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can
become encrusted during subsequent cooking
processes.

! Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If
the appliance breaks down, contact a Service
Centre.
