Power control
The hob is fitted with a power control module
that optimises/limits consumption. If the overall
set power level exceeds the maximum limit
permitted, the electronic circuit board will
automatically manage the power supplied by
the hot plates. The module tries to maintain the
maximum deliverable power levels. Levels set by
the automatic control will appear on the display.
The flashing of a power level indicates that it will
be automatically limited to a new level selected
by the power control module.
USE
Basic functions
First power connection
When connected to the power supply for the
first time, or after power has been switched
back on after a power failure, an automatic
check is carried out that control turns on the
indicator lights and the displays for a few
seconds. Afterwards, the appliance can be
used normally.
Preliminary operations
• Remove any protective film from the outside
or inside of the appliance, including any
accessories (if present).
• Remove any labels (apart from the technical
data plate).
Cookware suitable for use in induction
cooking
Cookware used on the induction cooking
surface must be made of metal, with magnetic
properties and a sufficiently large base.
Suitable cookware:
• Enamelled steel cookware with thick bases.
• Cast iron cookware with an enamelled
base.
• Cookware in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic
stainless steel and aluminium with a special
base.
Unsuitable cookware:
• Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof
glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta
cookware.
Advice on energy-saving
To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a
magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the
pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do
not have a magnet, you can put a small amount
of water in the pan, place it on a cooking zone
and start the hot plate. If the symbol appears
on the display, it means the pan is not suitable.
Advice on energy-saving
The diameter of the base of the pan must
correspond to the diameter of the cooking zone.
• When buying a pot, check whether the
diameter indicated is that of the base or the
top,
as the top is almost always larger than the base.
• The base of the cookware must be thick and
completely flat. In addition, the hob should
be clean and dry as well.
• When preparing dishes with long cooking
Priority is given to the last zone set.
The power control module does not
affect the total power consumption of
the appliance.
