5. HOB COOKWARE ADVICE
Using good quality cookware is critical for setting
the best performance from your hob.
• Always use good quality cookware with perfectly flat and thick
bases : using this type of cookware will prevent hot spots that cause
food to stick. Thick metal pots and pans will provide an even
distribution of heat.
• Ensure that the base of the pot or pan is dry : when filling
pans with liquid or using one that has been stored in the
ensure that the base of the pan is completely dry before placing it on
the hob. This will help to avoid staining the
• Use pans whose diameter is wide enough to completely cover
the surface unit : the size of the pan should be no
than the heating area. If it is slightly wider the energy will be used at its
maximum efficiency.
THE CHOICE OF COOKWARE - The following information will help
you to choose cookware which will give good performance.
Stainless Steel : highly recommended. Especially good with a
sandwich clad base. The sandwich base combines the benefits of
stainless steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the
advantages of aluminium or copper (heat conduction, even heat
distribution).
Aluminium : heavy weight recommended. Good conductivity.
Aluminium residues sometimes appear as scratches on the hob, but
can be removed if cleaned immediately.
Because of its low melting point, thin aluminium should not be used.
Cast Iron : usable, but not recommended. Poor performance. May
scratch the surface.
Copper Bottom / stoneware: heavy weight recommended. Good
performance, but copper may leave residues which can appear as
scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the hob is
cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass hobs. An overheated copper
pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the hob.
Porcelain/enamel : Good perfomance only with a thiny smooth, flat
base.
Glass-ceramic : not recommended. Poor performance. May scratch
the surface.

2) If there is residual heat indication in the display which is ON but in 0
power, "0" will appear changing over.
3) If lock function is active you cannot switch ON a zone.
To switch OFF a heater Touch any heater´s zone during 1,2 sec. 3
Short beeps will be heard and nothing or "H" value will appear in
target zone digit if residual heat exists. Zone will be OFF.
1) If any cooking stage is in position 0, this display will switch OFF
automatically after 10 seconds and the zone OFF sequence will
sound.
2) If there is residual heat indication in the display which is OFF, "H" will
be displayed.
3) Even lock function is active you can switch OFF a zone.

s m a l l e r
With a short press on '+' or '-' keys, Increase or decrease power in the
selected zones digit: 0-1-2-3...9-P
1. For Long Presses in + or - keys, power level increases /decreases
continuously. With a fast increase, power stops at level 9, and for a
higher power another short press is needed on the + key. No beep
sound is heard with fast increase / decrease.
2. Once arrived to P power level, pressing + key again does not
change power level to 0.Once arrived to 0 power level, pressing - key
again does not change power level to P.
3. With a zone ON at 0 power level, if the zone is hot, 0 will blink
alternatively. After 10 seconds, 0 will disappear an 'H' letter will appear
fixed on display.
4. When a heater is selected and '+' & '-'keys are touched at the same
time, power level will go to '0' but heater will maintain selected during
10 seconds. If heater was temporized, timer will go to Off. This action
can only be developed in several cases depending touch control
configuration.The following examples are for information only.
Personal experience should then let you adapt these settings to your
taste and habits.
This action will be done when '+' & '-'keys were touched at the same
time.
Then, any time when a key will be touched, displays will show "L"
during 2sec. heating remains at the same state.
To deactivate Child Lock, follow the same process explained before.
Then Short beep will be heard and displays will show "n" letter. Hob will
remain unlocked.
Note: An automatic child lock will produce in 15 minutes after total
Switch OFF of the hob. This function will happens automatically but
previously is necessary to program it. See User settings point.
