ACCESSORIES
Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic material suitable for induction
hobs. Check for the
symbol (generally stamped on the bottom) to determine
whether a pot is suitable. A magnet may also be used to check whether the
cookware base is magnetic.
COOKWARE
MATERIAL
Recommended
Base is made of stainless
cookware
steel with sandwich design,
enamelled steel, cast iron.
Suitable cookware Base is not fully ferromagnetic
(magnet sticks only in a portion
of the cookware base).
Suitable cookware Ferromagnetic base contains
areas with aluminium or has a
recessed area in the centre.
Not suitable
Normal thin steel, glass, clay,
copper, aluminium and other
non-ferromagnetic
cookware with rubber feet
NOTE: All cookware must have a at base. Periodically check the base for any
sign of warping, as some cookware may undergo deformation due to high heat.
ADAPTERS FOR POTS/PANS UNSUITABLE FOR INDUCTION
The use of adapter plates a ects e ciency and therefore increases the time
required to heat water or food. Make sure that the ferromagnetic diameter
of the cookware base aligns with both the diameter of the adapter plate
FIRST TIME USE
POWER MANAGEMENT
At the time of purchase, the hob is set to the maximum possible power. Adjust
the setting concerning the limits of your home's electrical system as described
in the following paragraph.
N.B: Depending on the power selected for the hob, some of the cooking zone
power levels and functions (e.g. boil or fast heating) could be automatically
limited to prevent the selected limit from being exceeded.
To set the power of the hob:
Once you have connected the device to the mains power supply, you can set
the power level within 60 seconds.
Press the far right timer "+" button for at least 5 seconds. The display shows "PL".
Press the
button to con rm.
OK
3 sec
Use the "+" and "−" buttons to select the desired power level.
The power levels available are: 2.5 kW – 4.0 kW – 6.0 kW – 7.2 kW.
Con rm by pressing
.
OK
3 sec
The power level selected will stay in the memory even if the power supply
is interrupted.
To change the power level, disconnect the appliance from the mains for at
least 60 seconds, plug it back in, and repeat the above steps.

materials,
and the diameter of the cooking zone. If these measurements don't match,
it can signi cantly decrease e ciency and performance. Not following these
guidelines could lead to heat build up that is not e ectively transferred to the
pot or pan, potentially causing blackening of the plate and hob.
EMPTY POTS AND PANS
The hob is equipped with an internal safety system that activates the "Automatic
o " function when too high temperature is detected. The use of empty pots
and pans with a thin base is not recommended. However, when doing so, the
temperature might rise quicker than the time needed for the "Automatic o " to
be triggered promptly, with the risk of damaging the pan or the hob surface. If
this occurs, do not touch the pan nor the hob surface and wait for all components
to cool down. If any error message is displayed, call the Service Centre.
SUITABLE SIZE OF PAN/POT BASE FOR THE DIFFERENT COOKING
ZONES
To ensure that the hob works properly, use pots of a suitable base diameter for
each zone (refer to the table below). Please note that cookware manufacturers
often provide the size of the upper diameter of the cookware, rather than the
base diameter.
To ensure that the hob works with the expected performance, always use a
cooking zone with a size matching the ferromagnetic size of the cookware base.
Place the pan/pot making sure it is well centred on the cooking zone in use.
It is recommended not to use pots larger than the size of the cooking zone.
