Start-up and use

!

 The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of 

grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we 
recommend you remove these with a special non-
abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours 
of use there may be a smell of rubber which will 
disappear very quickly.

!

 A few seconds after the hob is connected to the 

electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may 
now be switched on.

!

 If the 

-

 or 

+

 button is pressed for an extended 

period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the 
power levels and timer minutes.

Switching on the hob

To switch the hob on, press and hold the 

 button 

for approximately one second.

Each cooking zone is controlled using a selector button 

 and a power adjustment device consisting of a 

double 

-

 and 

+

 button.

corresponding control button and set the desired 

power level (between 0 and 9) using the buttons 

-

 

and 

+

.

Switching off the cooking zones

To switch off a cooking zone, select it using the 

corresponding selector button

• Press the 

-

 button: the power of the cooking zone 

will progressively decrease until it is switched off.

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.

Switching off the hob

Press the 

 button to switch the appliance off.

If the control panel lock has been activated, the 
controls will continue to be locked even after the hob is 
switched on again. In order to switch the hob on again, 
you must first remove the lock function.

Control panel lock

When the hob is switched on, it is possible to lock the 
oven controls in order to avoid accidental changes 
being made to the settings (by children, during 

cleaning, etc.). Press the 

 button to lock the control 

panel:

To use any of the controls (e.g. to stop cooking), you 

must switch off this function. Press the 

 button for a 

few moments, the indicator light will switch off and the 
lock function will be removed.

the "L" will appear on the cooking zone displays.
