BOILING
This function allows you to bring water to the boil and keep it boiling,
with lower energy consumption.
About 2 litres of water (preferably at room temperature) should be
placed in the pan.
INDICATORS
RESIDUAL HEAT
If "H" appears on the display, this means that the cooking zone is hot. The
indicator lights up even if the zone has not been activated but has been
heated due to the adjacent zones' use or because a hot pot has been placed
on it.
When the cooking zone has cooled down, the "H" disappears.
COOKING TABLE
The cooking table o ers an example of the cooking type for each power level. The actual delivered power of each power level depends on the cooking zone
dimension.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Important:
•
Before cleaning, make sure the cooking zones are switched o and
that the residual heat indicator ("H") is not displayed.
•
Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads as they may damage the
glass.
•
After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits and
stains from food residue.
•
A surface that is not kept suitably clean may reduce the sensitivity of
control panel buttons.
•
Use a scraper only if residues are stuck to the hob. Follow the scraper
manufacturer's instructions to avoid scratching the glass.
•
Sugar or foods with high sugar content can damage the hob and must be
immediately removed.
•
Salt, sugar and sand could scratch the glass surface.
SOUNDS PRODUCED DURING OPERATION
Induction hobs may whistle or creak during normal operation.
These noises actually come from the cookware and are linked to the pan
bottoms' characteristics (for example, when the bottoms are made from
di erent layers of material or are irregular).

In all cases, users are advised to monitor the boiling water closely and
check the amount of water remaining regularly.
If the pots are big and the water quantity is higher than 2 litres, we
recommend using a lid to optimize boiling time.
POT INCORRECTLY POSITIONED OR MISSING
This symbol appears if the pot is not suitable for induction cooking, is not
positioned correctly or is not of an appropriate size for the cooking zone
selected. If no pot is detected within 30 seconds of making the selection, the

•
Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a special hob cleaner (follow
the Manufacturer's instructions).
•
Spills of liquid in the cooking zones can cause the pots to move or vibrate.
•
After cleaning the hob, dry thoroughly.
If the iXelium™ logo appears on the glass, the hob has been treated with
iXelium™ technology, an exclusive Whirlpool finish which ensures perfect
cleaning results, as well as keeping the surface of the hob shiny for longer.
To clean iXelium™ hobs, follow these recommendations:
•
Use a soft cloth (micro bre is best) dampened with water or with everyday
glass cleaning detergent.
•
For best results, leave a wet cloth on the glass hob surface for a few minutes.
These noises may vary according to the type of cookware used and the
amount of food it contains and not the symptom of something wrong.
