Start-up and use

! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of 
grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we 
recommend you remove these with a special non-
abrasive cleaning product. During the fi rst few hours of 
use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear 
very quickly.

! A few seconds after the hob is connected to the electricity 
supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may now be switched 
on.

Types of noise during normal hob operation:
•  Buzz: due to the vibration of the metallic parts that 

make up the induction element and the pot; it is 
generated by the electromagnetic fi eld required for 
heating and increases as the power of the induction 
element increases.

•  Soft whistle: heard when the pot placed on the 

heating zone is empty; the noise disappears once 
food or water is placed into the pot.

•  Crackle: produced by the vibration of materials on 

the bottom of the pot due to the fl ow of parasitic 
currents caused by electromagnetic fi elds 
(induction); can be more or less intense depending 
on the material making up the bottom of the pot, and 
decreases as the pot dimensions increase.

•  Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements of 

the same group function simultaneously at maximum 
power and/or when the booster function is set on 
the larger element while the other is auto-adjusted. 
Noise is reduced by decreasing the power level of 
the auto-adjusted induction element; pot bottom 
layers made of different kinds of materials are among 
the main causes of this noise.

•  Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob 

functions correctly and to safeguard the electronic 
unit from possible overheating. The fan functions at 
maximum power when the large induction element is 
at maximum power or when the booster function is on; 
in all other cases, it works at average power depending 
on the temperature detected. Furthermore, the fan may 
continue to work even after switching the hob off, if the 
temperature detected is high.

The types of noise listed above are due to induction 
technology and are not necessarily operational faults.

! If the 

- or + button is pressed for an extended 

period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the 
power levels and timer minutes.

Switching on the hob

To switch the hob on, press and hold the 

 button for 

approximately one second.

Switching on the cooking zones

Each cooking zone is controlled using a selector button 

 

and a power adjustment device consisting of a double 
- and + button.

•  To begin operating a cooking zone, press the 

corresponding control button and set the desired power 

level (between 0 and 9) using the buttons 

- and +.

Booster function*

The booster function for some of the cooking zones may 
be used to shorten heating-up times. It may be activated 

by pressing the 

Booster

 button. The indicator light directly 

above the button will illuminate. This function boosts the 
power to 2000 W or 3000 W, depending on the size of the 
relevant cooking zone.
The booster stops automatically after 4 minutes. While 
the booster for one of the cooking zones is active, the 
corresponding front or rear cooking zone will operate 
at a reduced power level (e.g. if the booster for the rear 
left-hand hotplate has been activated, the power level of 
the front left-hand hotplate will be reduced). For further 
information, please refer to the Technical description of 
the models
.

Switching off the cooking zones

To switch off a cooking zone, select it using the corresponding 

selector button 

 and:

•  Press the 

- button: the power of the cooking zone will 

progressively decrease until it is switched off.

Programming the cooking duration

! All the cooking zones may be programmed 
simultaneously, for a duration between 1 and 99 minutes.

1. Select the cooking zone using the corresponding 
selector button.
2. Adjust the power level of the cooking zone.

3. Press the 

 programming button. The indicator light 

corresponding to the selected zone will start fl ashing.
