Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the heat
brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts at high speed when
the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces speed and stops automatically when the
electronic circuit is cooled enough.
Starting-up and appliance management
Before the first use
Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent
which can cause a blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
Induction principe
An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable
electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the
pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be made of the correct material:
All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it with a small magnet): cast iron
and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…
The following are not suitable: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood,
ceramic, stoneware…
The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. With a diameter too small
the pan will not work. This diameter is varying in function dependent on the heating zone
diameter.
If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].
Touch controls
Your induction hob is equipped with electronic sensitive touch control keys. When your finger
touches the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a control
light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound.
Note: Touch only one key at a time.
Power selection zone and timer setting zone
To select the power with the slider, slide your finger on the slider zone. Alternatively you can have a
direct access if you put your finger directly on the chosen level.
