  If your Indesit Hob displays the error code F0E1, it means the cookware isn't properly positioned on the cooking zone or isn't compatible with it. To fix this, press the On/Off button twice to clear the error and restore the zone's function. Then, either try using the cookware on a different cooking zone or switch to different cookware altogether.

This document outlines the features, usage, and maintenance of an Indesit induction hob, designed for household and similar applications.

Function Description

The Indesit induction hob is a cooking appliance that utilizes electromagnetic fields to directly heat ferromagnetic cookware. It features multiple cooking zones, each with independent power adjustment and timer functions. A central control panel allows for easy operation and monitoring of all cooking zones.

Key functions include:

On/Off Control: The hob can be switched on and off with a single press of the power button.
Cooking Zone Activation and Power Adjustment: Each cooking zone can be activated and its power level adjusted using dedicated "+" and "-" buttons. The selected power level is displayed, along with an indicator light for the active zone.
Fast Heating (Booster): A "P" button is available for selecting a fast heating function, rapidly increasing the food temperature to a boil or quickly heating cooking liquids.
Timers: The hob is equipped with two timers, one for the left-hand cooking zones and one for the right-hand zones. These allow users to set a desired cooking duration, after which the cooking zone will automatically switch off with an audible beep. Multiple timers can be activated simultaneously.
Control Panel Lock: A child lock function, activated by pressing and holding the "OK/Child Lock" button, prevents accidental activation or changes to settings, except for the hob's off function.
Special Functions (PUSH&GO): The "PUSH&GO" button activates pre-set special functions designed for specific cooking tasks.
- DUALZONE: This feature combines two cooking zones into a single large area, ideal for larger cookware like fish kettles, grilles, or pots that cover the entire cooking surface. The power level for this function is pre-set by the hob and cannot be modified.
- PUSH&WARM: This function maintains food at an ideal serving temperature, suitable for keeping dishes warm after cooking or for very slow reduction of liquids.
- PUSH&BOIL: Designed to bring water to a boil and maintain it with lower energy consumption. It is recommended to use about 2 liters of room temperature water and monitor the boiling process, using a lid for optimal boiling time, especially for larger quantities.
- PUSH&MOKA: An ideal function for preparing coffee in a stovetop pot, preventing splashing and keeping the beverage warm until switched off. Dedicated accessories are recommended for this function.

Usage Features

The hob is designed for intuitive use with clear indicators and safety features.

Cookware Compatibility:

Only ferromagnetic cookware (enamelled steel, cast iron, special stainless steel pots and pans suitable for induction cooking) should be used. The "Ill" symbol on the pot bottom indicates suitability, and a magnet can be used for verification.
Cookware with a minimum base diameter, as specified in the manual, should be used to ensure proper hob function. The pot should be well-centered on the cooking zone.
Avoid using empty pots or pots with thin bases when the hob is on, as this can lead to rapid temperature increases, potentially damaging the pan or hob surface. An internal safety system monitors temperature and activates an "automatic off" function if high temperatures are detected.
An adapter for non-induction cookware is available, though its use may affect efficiency and heating time.

Power Management:

The hob's maximum power can be adjusted to match the home's electrical system, with available levels including 2.5 kW, 4.0 kW, 6.0 kW, and 7.2 kW. This setting is retained even if the power supply is interrupted.
Depending on the selected power limit, some cooking zone power levels and functions (e.g., fast heating) may be automatically limited to prevent exceeding the set limit.

Indicators:

Residual Heat Indicator ("H"): This symbol appears on the display when a cooking zone is hot, either from its own use, adjacent zones, or a hot pot placed on it. It disappears when the zone has cooled down.
Pot Incorrectly Positioned or Missing Indicator: This symbol appears if the pot is unsuitable for induction cooking, incorrectly positioned, or not of an appropriate size. If no pot is detected within 30 seconds, the cooking zone switches off.
Timer Indicator: An LED indicates when a timer has been set for a cooking zone.

Acoustic Signals:

The hob produces acoustic signals for various operations, such as timer completion. These signals can be switched on or off.
Induction hobs may produce whistling or creaking noises during normal operation, which are related to the cookware characteristics and not indicative of a fault.

Safety Warnings:

The hob surface should not be used if cracked, due to the risk of electric shock.
Flammable items should not be stored on cooking surfaces.
Cooking processes, especially with fat or oil, must be continuously supervised to prevent fire hazards. Never use water to extinguish a fire; instead, switch off the appliance and cover the flame.
The hob should not be used as a work surface or support.
Metallic objects (knives, forks, spoons, lids) should not be placed on the hob surface as they can become hot.
Children (0-3 years) should be kept away, and children (3-8 years) should be supervised. Children 8 years and older, and persons with reduced capabilities, can use the appliance if supervised and instructed on safe use. Children must not play with the appliance or perform cleaning/maintenance without supervision.
After use, the hob element should be switched off by its control, not relying on the pan detector.
Accessible parts of the appliance become hot during use; care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of the hob.

Cleaning:

Always ensure the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before any maintenance.
Do not use steam cleaning equipment.
Avoid abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or chlorine-based cleaners, as they can damage the glass surface.
Clean the hob after each use, once it has cooled down, to remove food residues.
Sugar or high-sugar content foods should be removed immediately to prevent damage.
Salt, sugar, and sand can scratch the glass surface.
Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper, or a special hob cleaner, following the manufacturer's instructions.
For stuck residues, use a scraper according to the manufacturer's instructions to avoid scratching the glass.
Spilled liquids on cooking zones can cause pots to move or vibrate; dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning.
A surface not kept suitably clean may reduce the sensitivity of control panel buttons.

Troubleshooting:

If the hob cannot be turned off, disconnect it from the power supply.
The manual provides a table of display codes (e.g., FOE1, FOE7, FOEA, FOE9, dE, P-5) with possible causes and solutions for common issues, such as cookware incompatibility, incorrect power cord connection, overheating, or demo mode activation.
If problems persist or if alphanumeric codes appear, users are advised to contact After-Sales Service.

Installation:

Installation must be performed by two or more persons using protective gloves.
Installation, electrical connections, and repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician in accordance with local safety and installation regulations.
The appliance must be earthed, and conductors of appropriate size must be used.
Ensure the voltage on the data plate matches the home's electricity supply.
Do not use extension leads, multiple sockets, or adapters.
The power cable must not be damaged during installation. If damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a qualified person.
All cabinet cutting operations should be completed before fitting the appliance, and wood chips removed.
If not installed above an oven, a separator panel (not included) must be installed in the compartment below the appliance.
The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before any installation operation.
Packaging waste should be kept out of reach of children.

Disposal:

The appliance is manufactured with recyclable materials and should be disposed of in accordance with local waste disposal regulations.
The symbol on the product indicates that it should not be treated as domestic waste but taken to an appropriate collection center for recycling electrical and electronic equipment.

Energy Saving Tips:

Utilize the hob's residual heat by switching it off a few minutes before cooking is complete.
Ensure the pot or pan base completely covers the hot plate; smaller containers waste energy.
Cover pots and pans with tight-fitting lids and use minimal water to reduce energy consumption.
Use only flat-bottomed pots and pans.
