ACCESSORIES

Only use pots and pans made from ferromagnetic material suitable for induction
hobs. Check for the symbol (generally stamped on the bottom) to determine
whether a pot is suitable. A magnet may also be used to check whether the
cookware base is magnetic.
COOKWARE MATERIAL
Recommended Base made of stainless steel with
cookware a sandwich design, enamelled
steel, cast iron.
Suitable cookware Base not fully ferromagnetic
(magnet sticks only on part of the
cookware base).
Suitable cookware Ferromagnetic base contains
areas with aluminium, or has a
recessed area in the centre.
Not suitable Normal thin steel, glass, clay,
copper, aluminium and other
non-ferromagnetic
cookware with rubber feet.
NOTE: All cookware must have a at base. Periodically check the base for any
sign of warping, as some cookware may undergo deformation due to high heat.
Using cookware that does not match the recommended sizes and properties
may signi cantly a ect cooking performance and cause unsatisfactory results.
ADAPTERS FOR POTS/PANS UNSUITABLE FOR INDUCTION
The use of adapter plates a ects e ciency and therefore increases the time
required to heat water or food. Make sure the ferromagnetic diameter of the

FIRST TIME USE

POWER MANAGEMENT

At the time of purchase, the hob is set to the maximum possible power. Adjust
the setting concerning the limits of your home's electrical system as described
in the following paragraph.
N.B: Depending on the power selected for the hob, some of the cooking zone
power levels and functions (e.g. boil or fast heating) could be automatically
limited to prevent the selected limit from being exceeded.
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 far right timer "+" button for at least 5 seconds. The display shows
"PL".
Press the button to con rm.
OK
3 sec
Use the "+" and "−" buttons to select the desired power level.
The power levels available are: 2.5 kW – 4.0 kW – 6.0 kW – 7.2 kW.
Con rm by pressing .
OK
3 sec
The power level selected will stay in the memory even if the power supply
is interrupted.
To change the power level, disconnect the appliance from the mains for at
least 60 seconds, plug it back in, and repeat the above steps.

Only the ferromagnetic area
heats up. As a result, may heat
up less quickly and heat may be
distributed less evenly.
The ferromagnetic area is smaller
than the actual cookware base
area. As a result, less power may
be delivered and cookware may

materials,
cookware base aligns with both the diameter of the adapter plate and the
diameter of the cooking zone. If these measurements don't match, e ciency
and performance may be signi cantly reduced. If these guidelines are not
followed, there may be a heat build-up that is not e ectively transferred to the
pot or pan, potentially causing blackening of the plate and hob.
EMPTY POTS AND PANS
The hob is equipped with an internal safety system that activates the "Automatic
o " function when an over-high temperature is detected. The use of empty
pots and pans with a thin base is not recommended but, if they are used, the
temperature might rise quicker than the time needed for the "Automatic o " to
be triggered promptly, with the risk of damaging the pan or the hob surface. If
this happens, do not touch the pan or the hob surface. Wait for all components
to cool down. If any error message is displayed, call the Service Centre.
SUITABLE SIZE OF PAN/POT BASE FOR THE DIFFERENT COOKING
ZONES
To ensure that the hob works properly, use pots of a suitable base diameter for
each zone (refer to the table below). Please note that cookware manufacturers
often provide the size of the upper diameter of the cookware, rather than the
base diameter.
To ensure that the hob works as expected, always use a cooking zone with a size
matching the ferromagnetic size of the cookware base.
Centre the pan/pot correctly on the cooking zone in use. It is recommended
not to use pots larger than the size of the cooking zone.
