absorbed energy is transformed into heat. Moreover, once the pot is removed from the hob, heat transmission is
immediately interrupted, avoiding unnecessary heat loss.
● Recommended pot bottom diameters
IMPORTANT: if the pots are not of the correct size, the cooking zones will not switch on. To see the minimum pot
diameters for each individual zone, consult the illustrated section of this manual.
● Cookware
Important:
Use only pots and pans bearing the symbol
to avoid permanent damage to the hob surface, do not use:
• cookware with a base that is not perfectly flat;
• metal cookware with an enamelled base;
• cookware with a rough base, to avoid scratching the hob surface;
• never place hot pots and pans on the surface of the hob's control panel.
●Pre-existing cookware
You can check if the pot material is magnetic simply by using a magnet. Pots are not suitable if they are not magnetically
detectable. The indications from the previous paragraph also apply here.
USING THE EXTRACTOR FAN
The extraction system can be used in the duct-out version with external evacuation, or in the recirculating version with
filtering and internal recirculation.
●
Duct-Out Version:
Vapours are exhausted outside via a series of pipes (to be purchased separately). Connect the product to wall-mounted
exhaust pipes and holes with a diameter equivalent to the air outlet (connecting flange). For more information on the pipes
and their dimensions see the page relating to accessories in the installation manual - Duct-Out version. The use of pipes
and outlet holes in the wall with a smaller diameter will reduce the extraction performance and drastically increase the noise
level. All responsibility in this regard is therefore denied.
For maximum extraction efficiency: • We recommend a maximum pipe route length of 7 linear metres. • We recommend
using no more than two 90° bends along the entire 7 linear metres • Avoid drastic changes in the ducting diameter, seeking
to maintain a diameter of Ø 150 mm (or a rectangular section of 222 x 89 mm).
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
Recommendations for correct use in order to reduce the impact on the environment: When cooking begins, the device
should be turned on at minimum speed, and left on for a few minutes even after cooking is complete. Increase the speed
only if there is a large quantity of fumes and steam, using the Booster function only in extreme cases. To keep the odour
reduction system running efficiently, replace the carbon filter/s when necessary. To ensure the high performance of the
grease filter, clean it when necessary. To improve efficiency and minimise noise, use the maximum duct diameter indicated
in this manual.
Make good use of the residual heat of your electric hot plate, turning it off a few minutes before cooking is complete. The
base of the pot or pan should cover the entire electric hot plate; use of cookware having a smaller base than the hot plate
results in a waste of energy. Cover the pots and pans with perfectly-fitting lids during cooking, and do not use more water
than necessary. Cooking without positioning the lid results in much higher energy consumption. Use only flat-bottom pots
and pans.
