STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT Before the first use Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which risks causing 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.
Pan detection The pan detection ensures a perfect safety. The induction doesn’t work: • If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not adapted to the induction. In this case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol disappears when a suitable pan is put on the heating zone.
• Power management: If the selected heating levels for both zones exceed the maximum available amount of power, the power management function is automatically reducing the power from one of these zones. The display of this zone is first blinking; the level is then automatically reduced to the highest suitable position.
Automatic cooking All the cooking zones are equipped with an automatic cooking device. The cooking zone starts at full power during a certain time, and then reduces automatically its power on the pre-selected level. • Start-up: Action Control panel Display Power level selection slide on the “SLIDER“...
