Read the manual carefully and keep it in an easily accessible place for future consultation. 9. 10. Precautions and Advice 1. This cooktop complies with all applicable safety and electromagnetic compatibility legislation. However, individuals fitted with a heart PACEMAKER should maintain a safe distance from the appliance. This is because it is not possible to guarantee that all pacemakers on the market comply with the standards in compliance with which this appliance was tested so it is not possible to provide an absolute guarantee of the absence of potentially harmful interference. 2. Disposal of packaging materials: The various parts of the packing must not be sent for waste, but recycled in conformity with the regulations imposed by local authorities. 3. This induction hob is designed solely for use as a domestic appliance. No other type of use is permitted. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for inappropriate use. 4. The appliance is not intended for use by persons (children included) with physical, sensory or mental impairment or without experience and knowledge of the appliance, unless supervised or previously instructed in its use by those responsible for their safety. 5. The cooking zones become extremely hot during use: be careful and keep children away from the appliance to avoid the risk of scalding or burns. 6. If the surface of the hob should become damaged (cracked or broken glass), do not use the appliance and call the After-sales Service immediately. 7. Any repairs or work on the appliance must be carried out by a qualified technician. 8. This hob is equipped with a thermoprotector to prevent the risk of its internal circuits being damaged by high temperatures from external heat sources (e.g. an undercounter oven). If the temperature of the electronic circuits exceeds the safety threshold, the thermoprotector activates, automatically switching off 11. 12. the hob. When the temperature returns to within normal levels the hob is able to be switched on again. Make sure the cooking zones and the bottoms of pots are dry before use. Do not place metal objects such as kitchen utensils (knives, forks, spoons, …), lids or other similar items on the cooking zones as they can become very hot. Be extremely vigilant when cooking food with boiling oil or fat since these can catch fire. If the oil catches fire, never attempt to put it out with water: switch the hob off and cover the pot immediately with a lid; leave the pot on the cooking zone to cool down. Dispose of the oil in compliance with current regulations. At the end of cooking, turn the knobs to “0”. Before use Important: The induction cooking zones will not switch on if pots and pans are not of the correct dimensions. Only use pots bearing the symbol “INDUCTION SYSTEM” (See figure opposite). Before switching the hob on, position the pot on the desired cooking zone. Existing pots and pans: OK NO Use a magnet to check whether pots or pans are suitable for use on the induction hob: pots are unsuitable if they cannot be magnetically detected. 1. Ensure pots have a smooth bottom, otherwise they may scratch the hob's glass ceramic surface. Check dishes. 2. Do not use empty pots on the hob, especially enamelled or aluminium ones. This could result in damage to both the glass ceramic surface and the bottom of the pots.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Control panel Cooking zone positioning Cooktop operation lamp Level selector Switching on and adjusting cooking zones After positioning the pot on the chosen cooking zone, select the required power level by turning the knob clockwise. Each cooking zone has different power levels, which go from “1” (minimum power) to “9” (maximum power). Some cooking zones also have a fast boling function (Booster) shown on the display with the letter “P”. Important! At the position indicated by a “______” on the cooktop knobs there is no function: the heating element and the cooktop operation light are off. Switching off cooking zones Turn the knob to “0”. Fast boiling function Power levels No function 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 select this function, turn the knob to “P”. After 10 minutes' use of the booster function, the appliance automatically sets the zone to power level 9 (even if the knob is still turned to “P”). 13 41901112GB.fm Page 14 Thursday, August 21, 2008 12:25 PM MAINTENANCE Care and maintenance Clean the hob after each use in order to avoid damaging the surface and to prevent the formation of baked-on deposits which are difficult to remove. Before cleaning, make sure the cooking zones are switched off. WARNING • Steam cleaner is not to be used! • Periodically check for dust under the appliance, near the cooling air inlet or the outlet openings. This could hinder the ventilation and cooling of the electronic module and decrease the effectiveness of the hob. To clean the hob, proceed as follows: 1. Use a soft clean cloth, absorbent kitchen wipes or a proprietary cleaner for glass ceramic hobs. Do not use abrasive sponges and/or metal scouring pads. 2. Food spills should be cleaned off before they bake onto the glass ceramic surface. Sugar and foods with a high sugar content damage the glass ceramic surface and must be immediately removed using a scraper for glass. Attention! Glass scrapers must be handled with care. 3. Remove any stubborn food residues with a scraper or proprietary detergents. 4. Salt, sugar and sand can scratch the glass ceramic hob: Troubleshooting Guide Before contacting After-sales Service: • Read and follow the instructions given in the section “Operating instructions”. • Check that the electricity supply has not been shut off. • Clean the hob and dry it thoroughly. • Check that the knob is in the correct position: at position “0” or the levels indicated by a continuous line, the cooking zones do not receive any power. • If you use a pot that is not suitable for an induction cooktop, the cooking zone it is placed on will switch off after 1 minute. To resume operation, turn the knob to “0”, place a pot that is suitable for the induction cooktop (see section “Before use”) on the desired cooking zone and turn the knob to the required level. • If the internal temperature of electronic parts is too high, the hob will switch off automatically. Wait for the hob to cool down before using it again. To resume operation, turn the knob to “0” and then to the desired power level WARNING! If you are unable to turn the glass-ceramic hob off after using it, disconnect it immediately from the power supply. After-sales Service Before contacting After-sales Service: • Try to solve the problem (see “Troubleshooting Guide”). • Switch the appliance off, wait 30 seconds then switch it on again to see if the fault persists. If after the above checks the fault persists, contact the nearest After-sales Service. Always provide: • a brief description of the fault; • the exact type and model; • the service number (number after the word Service on the dataplate), located under the hob or in the warranty booklet; • your complete address and phone number. If any repairs are required, please contact an authorized After-sales Service as indicated in the warranty. WARNING Failure to comply with these instructions may compromise the safety and quality of the product. 14 41901112GB.fm Page 15 Thursday, August 21, 2008 12:25 PM Appliance data plate SERIAL NUMBER MODEL BRAND USER ADVICE Energy saving tips For optimum results, observe the following advice: • Use pots and pans whose bottom diameter is equal to that of the cooking zone. • Only use flat-bottomed pots and pans. • If possible, keep pot lids on when cooking. • Cook vegetables, potatoes, etc. with little water in order to cut down cooking time. • Use a pressure cooker to save even more energy and time. • Make sure you place the pot or pan in the centre of the cooking zone outlined on the hob.
