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.

Types of noise during normal hob operation:

• Buzz:

Buzz:

Buzz: due to the vibration of the metallic parts that
make up the induction element and the pot; it is
generated by the electromagnetic field required for
heating and increases as the power of the induction
element increases.

• Soft whistle:

Soft whistle:

Soft whistle: heard when the pot placed on the
heating zone is empty; the noise disappears once food
or water is placed into the pot.

• Crackle:

Crackle:

Crackle: produced by the vibration of materials on the
bottom of the pot due to the flow of parasitic currents
caused by electromagnetic fields (induction); can be
more or less intense depending on the material making
up the bottom of the pot, and decreases as the pot
dimensions increase.

• Loud whistle:

Loud whistle:

Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements of
the same group function simultaneously at maximum
power and/or when the booster function is set on the
larger element while the other is auto-adjusted. Noise is
reduced by decreasing the power level of the auto-
adjusted induction element; pot bottom layers made of
different kinds of materials are among the main causes
of this noise.

• Fan noise:

Fan noise:

Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob
functions correctly and to safeguard the electronic unit
from possible overheating. The fan functions at
maximum power when the large induction element is at
maximum power or when the booster function is on; in
all other cases, it works at average power depending on
the temperature detected. Furthermore, the fan may
continue to work even after switching the hob off, if the
temperature detected is high.

The types of noise listed above are due to induction
technology and are not necessarily operational faults.

Switching on the hob

To switch the hob on, press and hold the

button for

approximately one second.

Switching on the cooking zones

To begin using a cooking zone, set the desired power

level using the

and

• Press and hold the

button for approximately 2

seconds: the cooking zone will immediately begin
operating at its maximum power level (16).

• Press and hold the

button for approximately 2

seconds: the cooking zone will operate at power level 2
(slow cooking function).

Medium function*

Press the

edium

button to switch on the cooking zone at

medium power level 8.

Booster function*

The booster function for some of the cooking zones may
be used to shorten heating-up times. It may be activated

by pressing the

ooster

oost

oster

button. The indicator light directly

above the button will illuminate. This function boosts the
power to 2000 W or 3000 W, depending on the size of the
corresponding cooking zone.
It stops automatically after 4 minutes. While the booster
for one of the cooking zones is active, the corresponding
front or rear cooking zone will operate at a reduced power
level (e.g. if the booster for the rear left-hand hotplate has
been activated, the power level of the front left-hand
hotplate will be reduced). For further information, please
refer to the

Technical description of the models.

Switching off the cooking zones

To switch off a cooking zone:

• Press the

button: the power of the cooking zone will

progressively decrease until it is switched off.

• Alternatively, the

and

buttons may be pressed

simultaneously: this immediately returns the power
setting to 0 and the cooking zone switches off.

Programming the cooking duration

If the
