Before installing the hood, check that the electrical
mains power supply corresponds with what is report-
ed on the identification plate located inside the hood.
The socket used to connect the installed equipment
to the electrical power supply must be within reach:
otherwise, install a mains switch to disconnect the
hood when required.
Any changes to the electrical system must be carried
out by a qualified electrician.
Do not try to solve the problem yourself in the event
of equipment malfunction, but contact the Dealer or
an authorised Servicing Department for repairs.
When installing the device, disconnect
the equipment by removing the plug or
switching off the main switch.
FUMES DISCHARGE SAFETY
Do no connect the equipment to discharge
pipes of fumes produced from combustion
(for example boilers, fireplaces, etc.).
Before installing the hood, ensure that all standards in
force regarding discharge of air out of the room have
been complied with.
USE WARNINGS
• Before powering the appliance for the first time, remove any pro-
tective films and adhesives.
• While using, saucepans and kitchenware can cause noise that can de-
pend on:
- a high power level.
- different materials of the bottom of saucepans.
• Never use water to put fire out. Deactivate the cooking area. Choke
flames with a cover, a fireproofing blanket or something similar to it.
• Do not keep inflammable objects in the drawers below the cooker. The
cutlery tray shall be made up of fire-resistant material.
• Do not heat empty saucepans or frying pans and always check that
saucepans have a minimum quantity of liquids inside.
• Switch off the cooker after use.
• Continuously check the cooking in case of greases and oils used, as they
can easily catch fire.
• Heat greases and oils at maximum for one minute and never use the
Booster function.
• Pay attention not to burn yourself during and after using the device.
• Make sure that no fixed or mobile power cable of the device is in con-
tact with the glass or a hot frying pan.
• Do not use the cooker to heat pots.
• Do not apply any type of cover on the cooktop.
• Electrical cables are not to be in contact with the cooker.
• It is recommended to protect hands from heat using pot holders. Only
use dry gloves or pot holders.
• Only use cookware with smooth and magnetic bottom suitable for in-
duction hobs.
• Avoid that sugar, synthetic materials of aluminium, films are in contact
with the hot areas. During cooling, those substances can cause cracks
or other alterations on the pyroceram surface: switch off the device and
immediately remove from the cooking area that is still hot
• When moving saucepans, make sure to lift them rather than slide them
over the surface.
• Saucepans and cooker are to be perfectly cleaned before being in con-
tact.
• Do not drop objects on the hob!
Only use saucepans with magnetic bottom.
Other materials are not admitted.
SAUCEPAN SELECTION
Saucepans suitable for induction hobs:
Only saucepans with a fully magnetic, sufficiently wide and perfectly flat
bottom are suitable for use on induction hobs.
The bottom is magnetic if a magnet sticks to every point on the bottom of
the saucepan.
Using saucepans with uneven bottoms can make it difficult to detect the
saucepan and heat it up.
Suitable saucepans (examples):
- Thick-bottomed enamelled steel saucepans
- Cast iron saucepans with enamelled bottom
- Multi-ply stainless steel saucepans
- Ferritic stainless steel saucepans
Saucepan bottom size:

Bridge
Saucepans not suitable for induction hobs:
Saucepans with non-magnetic or partially magnetic bottoms, with a size
smaller than the indicated minimum and not perfectly flat are not suitable
for use on induction hobs.
Unsuitable saucepans (examples):
- Copper saucepans
- Aluminium saucepans
- Ceramic saucepans
- Terracotta saucepans
- Stainless steel saucepans
Noise during cooking
Saucepans may generate noise during cooking: this is not a malfunction
and does not affect the operation of the product.
The noise depends on the type of saucepan and the type of bottom;
If it is particularly unpleasant, it is recommended to replace the saucepan.
Humming, hissing, crackling sounds and vibrations are due to the transfer
of energy to the bottom of the saucepan, and are generated by the various
materials it is composed of. This noise is produced when cooking on a high
power level and decreases as the set power level decreases.
Internal ventilation noise: the appliance is equipped with a ventilation
module to adjust the internal temperature of the induction hob. Ventilation
can remain on even after switching off the appliance.
• Use saucepans of appropriate size to the desired cooking area.
• Always use a saucepan or frying pan on each cooking area, even with the
BRIDGE function.
• Do not place hot saucepans on the sensor keys or the LEDs, as this could
cause damage to the electronic components underneath.
• Keep controls and lamps always clean.
• Do no keep metal objects directly below the cooker.
• Possibly use always covers to avoid heat dispersion.
• Cook with little water.
• After starting grilling or cooking dishes bring the power level to a lower
one.
Safety and warning indications
Warning for people wearing pacemakers:
Keep in mind that when the appliance is being used an electromagnetic field
forms in the immediate proximity. There is therefore a remote possibility that
the operation of the pacemaker might be affected.
If in doubt, contact the pacemaker manufacturer or your GP.
The electromagnetic field of the hob during operation can affect the opera-
tion of magnetisable objects. Credit cards, life-saving devices, pocket calcula-
tors etc. should not be in the proximity of a hob when in operation.
Metal objects stored in the drawer underneath the appliance may become
hot in case of prolonged use. Do not store metal objects in a drawer imme-
diately underneath the hob.
The appliance is equipped with cooling fans. If there is a drawer under a bu-
ilt-in appliance, a separation must be ensured between the drawer and the
