USE OF THE APPLIANCE
Sensitive touch
Your ceramic hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger
presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a
control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound.
In the case of a general use press only one key at a time.

Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories
brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts his high speed
when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops automatically
when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.
STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Before the first use
Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent
which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
Induction principle
An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable
electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the
pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be magnetic:
x
All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify by using a small manget): cast
iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms.
x
Exclusions: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware.
The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. If the diameter is too
small,
the pan doesn’t work. This diameter
will vary the function of the heating zone diameter.
If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].
