CHOOSING THE POSITION

The distance between the edge of your appliance and the side and rear walls (or partitions) must be at least four centimetres (zone A).

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).

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.

2 / USING YOUR APPLIANCE

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

These cooking hobs are intended 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.

• The induction principle

The principle of induction is based on a magnetic effect.

When you place your cookware on a cooking zone and you turn it on, the electronic circuits in your cooking hob produce “induced” currents in the bottom of the cookware which instantly raise its temperature. This heat is then transmitted to the food

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

-

A

- Induction plate

B

- Electronic circuit

C

- Induced currents

• Cookware

Most cookware is compatible with induction.

To verify that your cookware is suitable, place it on a heating area (16 or 23cm) on power 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.

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.

When you buy your cookware, make sure that this logo is on the package; it assures you that it is compatible with induction cooking.

2 / USING YOUR APPLIANCE EN

As shown in this logo, the materials used to package this appliance are not recyclable. Recycle them and play a role in protecting the environment by depositing them in municipal containers provided for this purpose.

Recycling of the appliances organised by your manufacturer will thus be undertaken in optimum conditions, in accordance with European directive 2002/96/CE relating to electrical and electronic equipment waste. Contact your local authority or retailer for how to have used appliances collected or collection points.

Safety when operating

•Residual heat

After a long cooking period, the zone used can remain hot for several minutes. An ‘’

H

’’ flashes during this period. Do not put your hand on the zone.

•Temperature limiter

Each cooking zone is equipped with a safety sensor that constantly monitors the temperature of the bottom of the cookware. If you leave empty cookware on a zone which is turned on, it will automatically limit the power in order to prevent damage to the cookware or hob.

• Protection against overflows

In case of overflow, or of a metallic object or wet cloth placed on the control areas, the hob turns itself off, the displays light up and a beep sounds. Clean the hob or remove the object, then begin cooking again.

•Auto-Stop system

If you forget cooking is in progress, after a predefined time, this safety function will automatically turn off your hob (from 1 to 10 hours depending on the power setting). “A S” displays and a beep sounds after about 2 minutes. Press on the main selector to delete this information. A beep will confirm your setting.

• “Small Items” safety

If you place a small object on the area (a ring, a fork, etc), the hob will detect it and not deliver any power. The power display flashes.

Note:

However, several small objects at the same time on a zone could be identified as cookware. In that case, power will be delivered by the hob.

Do not place any utensils (spoons, forks, covers, etc) on the cooking zone being used. They will heat up in the same way as cookware:

Risk of combustion.

•For users with heart 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/EEC 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.

As we can guarantee the compliance only of our own products, we strongly recommend that you refer to the maker of your device or to your doctor to avoid possible incompatibilities.

EN 3 / MAINTAINING YOUR APPLIANCE

Preserve your appliance

The vitroceramic glass surface is highly resistant, but not unbreakable. Here are some recommendations for increasing its lifetime:

- Avoid banging or clattering the cookware.

- Avoid putting heating covers on the hob. A suction effect may damage the vitroceramic surface.

- Do not use cookware with bottoms that are rough or dented.

- Do not use your cooking hob as a work surface.

- Never use aluminium foil or paper or aluminium scrubber to clean it. The aluminium melts and damages the top.

- Never use a steam cleaner to clean your hob.

- Never directly reheat a tin can. It will have a risk of exploding.

Aesthetic faults, as a result of mistreatment of your hob and which do not entail a lack of function, are not covered by our guarantee.

And for the safety of your kitchen, do not place cleaning items or inflammable objects or products in the kitchen furniture underneath your cooking hob.
