STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT (FIXG9041B2)
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Clean your cooktop with a damp cloth and dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass
surface.
INDUCTION PRINCIPLE
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 magnetic:
• All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify by using a small magnet): cast iron and steel pans, enameled pans, stainless-steel
pans with ferromagnetic bottoms.
• Exclusions: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminum, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware. The induction heating zone adapts automatically to
the size of the pan. If the diameter is too small, the pan doesn’t work.
This diameter will vary the function of the heating zone diameter. If the pan is not adapted to the induction cooktop the display will show
[ U ].
SENSITIVE TOUCH
Your ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger presses 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. In the case of a
general use press only one key at a time.
VENTILATION
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed. The ventilation starts with a high speed when the cooktop is
intensively used. The cooling fan reduces speed and stops automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled.
