Ventilation
The cooling system operates continuously. He starts when turning on the hob and speeds up
when the hob is used intensively. The cooling fan reduces its 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 adapted:
•
All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it thanks a little magnet): cast iron
and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…
•
Are excluded: cupper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware,…
The induction heating zone adapts automatically the size of the pan. With a too small diameter
the pan doesn’t work. This diameter is varying in function of the heating zone diameter.
If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].
Starting-up
•
Start-up/ switch off a heating zone :
Action
Control panel
Display
Increase power
Turn the knob in the clockwise
[ 1 ] to [ 9 ]
Decrease power/Stop
Turn the knob in the anticlockwise
[ 9 ] to [ 0 ]
Pan detection
The pan detection ensures a perfect safety. The induction doesn’t work:
•
If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not adapted to the induction. In this
case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol
disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone.
•
If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows
[ U ]. The symbol [ U ] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The
cooking continues with the power level set before.
After use, switch the heat element off: don’t let the pan detection [ U ] active.
Residual heat indication
After the switch off of a heating zone or the complete stop of the hob, the heating zones are still
hot and indicates [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched without danger.
As far as the residual heat indicators are on light, don’t touch the heating zones and don’t put any
heat sensitive object on them.
There are risks of burn and fire.
