Cookware guidance

What pots to use

Only use pots and pans with bottom made from ferromagnetic

material which are suitable for use with inductions hobs:

• cast iron

• enamelled steel

• carbon steel

• stainless steel (although not all)

• aluminium with ferromagnetic coating or ferromagnetic plate

To determine if a pot or pan is suitable, check for the

(usually stamped on the bottom). You can also hold a magnet to

the bottom. If it clings to the underside, the cookware will work

on an induction hob.

To ensure optimum efficiency, always use pots and pans with

a flat bottom that distributes the heat evenly. If the bottom is

uneven, this will affect power and heat conduction.

How to use

Minimum diameter of pot/pan base for the different

cooking areas

To ensure that the hob functions properly, the pot must cover

one or more of the reference points indicated on the surface of

the hob, and must be of a suitable minimum diameter.

Always use the cooking zone that best corresponds to the

diameter of the bottom of the pan.

Using a pot or pan with a smaller diameter than the adapter disc

may cause heat to build up that is not transmitted to the pot or

pan and this could blacken both the hob and the disc.

First Use

POWER LIMITATION

At the time of purchase, the hob is set to the maximum possible

power. Adjust the setting in relation to the limits of the electrical

system in your home as described in the following paragraph.

NOTE: in case of activation of the max power level of 2.5 kW,

some features with more power demand will be not available.

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 timer "+" button for at least 5 seconds. The display

shows

Press the

button until the last power level selected appears.

2.5kW

Use the "+" and "-" buttons to select the desired maximum

power consumption of the hob. The levels available are: 2.5 kW –

4.0 kW – 6.0 kW – 7.2 kW. Confirm by pressing

The power level selected will stay in the memory even if the

power supply is interrupted.

Empty or thin-based pots/pans

symbol

Do not use empty or thin-based pots/pans on the hob as it will

not be able to monitor the temperature or turn off automatically

if the temperature is too high, damaging the pan or the hob

surface. If this occurs, do not touch anything and wait for all

components to cool down.

If an error message appears, refer to "Troubleshooting".

Hint/tips

Noise during cooking

When a cooking zone is active, it may hum briefly. This is a

characteristic of all ceramic glass cooking zones and does not

impair the function or life of the appliance. The noise depends

on the cookware used. If it causes considerable disturbance, it

may help to change the cookware.

To change the power level, disconnect the appliance from the

mains for at least 60 seconds, then plug it back in and repeat

the steps above.

If an error occurs during the setting sequence, the

will appear, and you will hear a beep. If this happens, repeat the

operation. If the error persists, contact the After-Sales Service.

ACOUSTIC SIGNAL ON / OFF

To switch the acoustic signal on/off:

• Connect the hob to the power supply;

• Wait for the switch-on sequence;

• Press the "Boost" button of the first keypad at the top left for

5 seconds.

Any alarms set will remain active.
