Installation
Installation with cutlery drawer
If you wish to install furniture or a
cutlery drawer under the hob, a
separation board must be fitted
between the two. Accidental
contact with the hot surface of the
device's housing is thus prevented.
The board must be fitted 20 mm
beneath the under part of the
stovetop.
Electrical connection
Before you connect the stovetop to
the mains, check that the voltage
on the stovetop nameplate, which is
underneath it, and on the Guarantee
Sheet, or if applicable on the technical
data sheet, which you must keep
together with this manual throughout
the product's service life.
Ensure that the inlet cable does not
come into contact with the induction
top housing or the oven housing, if it
is installed in the same unit.
Warning:
The electrical connection must
be properly grounded, following
current legislation, otherwise the
induction hob may malfunction.
Unusually high power surges
can damage the control system (like
with any electrical appliance).
It is advised to refrain from
using the induction hob during the
pyrolytic cleaning function in the
case of pyrolytic ovens, due to the
high temperature that this type of
device attains.
cal service can handle or repair the
appliance, including replacement
of the power cable.
Before disconnecting the hob
form the mains, we recommend
waiting for approximately 25
seconds before disconnecting from
the mains. This time is required to
allow for the complete discharge of
the electronic circuitry and thus
preclude the possibility of electric
shock from the cable terminals.
Keep the Guarantee
Certificate or the technical
data sheet together with the
instructions manual throughout
the product's service life. These
contain important technical
information.
About induction
Advantages of Using an
Induction Hob
With an induction hob, heat is
transmitted directly to the pan,
providing several benefits:
• Time-Saving: Heats up quickly.
• Energy-Saving: More efficient
energy use.
• Easy to Clean: Spills don't burn
onto the glass surface.
• Precise Energy Control: Heat is
instantly applied to the pan when
the controls are pressed and stops
as soon as the pan is removed.
Suitable Pans for Induction Hobs
Only ferromagnetic pans work with
induction hobs. Suitable types
include Cast Iron, Enameled Steel,
Stainless Steel (specifically
designed for induction).
Not Recommended: Diffuser
plates, Fine steel, Aluminum,
Glass, Copper, or Clay.
Cooking Zone and Pan Detection
Each cooking zone detects pans
based on the ferromagnetic
material and diameter of the pan's
base. For optimal performance,
use the cooking zone that best
matches your pan's base diameter.
• If a pan isn't detected, try using a
smaller cooking zone.

Pans with Partial Ferromagnetic
Bases
Some pans are marketed as
induction-compatible but have
incomplete ferromagnetic bases.
This can cause uneven heating,
where only the ferromagnetic part
gets hot (see figure 3)

• Aluminum Inserts: Pans with
aluminum inserts may not be
detected properly, leading to lower
power supply and insufficient
heating (see figure 4).

Influence of Pan Bases on Cooking
The base type affects cooking
results:
• Stainless Steel Sandwich Bases:
These help distribute heat evenly,
saving time and energy.
• Flat Bases: Ensure uniform
power supply and efficient cooking
(see figure 5).

Important Tips:
• Never heat empty pans.
• Avoid using pans with thin bases
as they may heat up too quickly,
bypassing the cooker's automatic
disconnection function.
