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: -the icon
will illuminate and an audible beep sound will be emmited.
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 icon will stop illuminating and the lock
function will be removed.
All the keys on the cooking zone selection wil be locked
if :the cooktop is off,,
if the Control Panel Lock is activated or
if an error on a cooktop occurs..
Switching off the hob
Press the button
to switch off the appliance - do not
rely solely on the pan sensor.
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.
Practical advice on using the appliance
!
Use cookware made from materials which are
compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic
material). We especially recommend pans made from:
cast iron, coated steel or special stainless steel adapted
for induction. Use a magnet to test the compatibility of
the cookware.

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
Pan sensor
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.
The “u” sign on the display appears if after selecting the
cooking zone the pan is not placed on a heater , or in
case of:
• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.
