Using the ceramic hob Before first use IMPORTANT: You should clean the ceramic hob surface (see “Cleaning and maintenance” section). o You should switch on one cooking zone at a time, for 5 minutes at the maximum setting.

It is possible to turn the hob off at any time by pressing the ON/OFF button (1). Residual heat indicator o After a zone is switched off, the corresponding cooking zone indicator (3) will show the letter “H”. This means that the temperature of the zone is over 60°C and is therefore still high enough to cause injury.
o If a cooking zone is selected but no pan is detected, the pan sensor system will check for the presence of a pan approximately every 2 seconds. o You should check that your pans are suitable for use on an induction zone hob (see the pan manufacturer’s trademark or instructions).
o After 10 seconds, the audible signal will cease but “ER03” will remain on the display until the object is removed from the control panel. o If any of the hob zones are still hot, then the “ER03” code will alternate with the letter “H”.
o When the safety lock feature is activated, it will disable all of the other buttons on the control panel, except the ON/OFF button (1). o If you turn off the appliance whilst the safety lock is activated, the next time that you turn the hob on, the safety lock will still be engaged.
Safety cut-out o If one or more of the cooking zones are accidentally left on, a safety cut out will activate after a certain period of time. The length of time depends on the power level that a zone or zones have been set on.
