Use of the appliance Touch controls Your induction hob 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.
Starting-up and appliance management Before the first use Clean your hob with a damp cloth and dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing a 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.
Power selection zone “SLIDER” and timer setting zone First select a cooking zone by touching a “Zone selection” button (see p.6). The corresponding display will be highlighted as long as the zone is activated. While the zone is activated (for a few seconds), you can adjust the power, either by sliding your finger on the slider, or by direct access.
Pan detection The pan detection ensures perfect safety. The induction doesn‟t work: If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not suitable for induction cooking. In this case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone.
Power management: The whole cooking hob is activated with a maximum limit of power. When the booster function is activated, and in order to exceed the maximum power, the electronic system reduces the power level of other heating zones. The display will blink on [ 9 ] for a few seconds and then shows the maximum of power allowed: Heating zone selected The other heating zone: (example: power level 9)
