In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise
the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough
to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the
available heat.
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always
clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life
of both the cooking zones and the cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used
on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners
may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to
adhere correctly.
Safety devices
P a n s e n s o r
Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor device.
The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with suitable
measurements for the cooking zone is placed on it. If the
power level indicator display flashes, this may be because:
• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.

If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches off
automatically and
F
appears on the display, followed by a
flashing number. When the temperature has reached a
suitable level, this message disappears and the hob may
be used again.
Safety switch
The appliance has a safety switch which automatically
switches the cooking zones off after they have been in
operation for a certain amount of time at a particular
power level. When the safety switch has been triggered,
the display shows “00000”.
For example: the rear right-hand hotplate is set to 5 and
will switch off after 7 and a half hours of continuous
operation, while the front left-hand hotplate is set to 2 and
will switch off after 9 and a half hours.

This can also indicate several irregularities:
• An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on the
control panel for more than 10 seconds.
• Something has been spilt on the control panel.
• A button has been pressed for too long. All of the
above situations may cause the buzzer to sound.
Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the
buzzer. If the cause of the problem is not removed, the
buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will switch off.
