PRINCIPE OF INDUCTION
The so-called “induction currents” instantaneously heat up the container* which
transfers the heat directly to the food inside.
*Enamelled steel containers, cast iron pans, stainless steel adapted for the
induction.
On your hob, the heat is directly generated by the container itself : the
vitroceramic surface does not real warm up, because it gets just the heating
from the pan put on it.

Safety
Check periodically the air inlet under the hob, so that there is no risk of obstruction by some object like
cloth, paper, ... (see built- in).
•
Protection of the ” electronic”
The temperature of the electronic control circuit is constantly monitored by a sensor. If it rises too
quickly, the output of the cooking zones is reduced.
•
”Empty Pan” safety
A sensor fitted underneath the glass plate of each cooking zone ensures that the temperature of the
cooking zone is continuously monitored, and so there is no risk of overheating by empty container.
•
Detection of objects or of a container on the cooking zone
An object of small size like : a fork, a spoon or a ring…, lying alone on the hob, in not detected as a
container. The display flashes and no power arrives to the cooking zones.
This safety device operates in the same way when a container, which is not suitable for induction co-
oking is detected.

Precautions for use
•
The vitroceramic surface is very resistant but is not, however, unbreakable :
avoid impacts from the containers.
•
Bottoms of utensils that are too rough can retain and transport materials whi-
ch cause stains or lines on the table.
•
Over the long term, friction from the containers can result in deterioration to
the patterns on the vitroceramic tops : avoid to slide the pans directly on the
plate.
These defects, which do not result in non functioning or an inability to
be used, are not covered by the guarantee.
The hob must not be used as a work surface for anything at all.
•
Do not store your CLEANING or INFLAMMABLE products in the area located un-
der your cooking table.
•
When connecting electrical appliances to plugs located nearby, make sure
that the supply cable does not contact the hot areas.
Advice for using
Information
for users with pacemakers
For the attention of wearers of pacemakers
and active implants:
The functioning of the hob is in conformity with current standards on electro-
magnetic interference.
Your induction hob also fully complies with the legal requirements (EC directives
89/336/EEC). It has been designed not to interfere with the operation of other
electrical appliances as long as these comply with the same legislation.
Your induction hob generates magnetic fields in its immediate area.
So that there is no interference between your hob and a pacemaker, the latter must
be designed in conformity with the relevant regulations.
In this respect, we can only guarantee the conformity of our own product.
Insofar as the conformity of the pacemaker or any incompatibility is concerned,
you should consult its manufacturer or your doctor.

Advice for using
Recommendations
•
Never leave a empty pan or container on a cooking zone.
•
Centre the container on the cooking zone.
•
Never heat an unopened tin of food as there is a serious risk of bursting; this
advice applies, of course, to any other kind of cooker.
•
If you use a non-stick pan (Teflon type), with some grease or without grease,
pre-heat it on maximum power setting 7 or 8 for a short time.
Never set the position 9 : your container risks to be damaged.
•
It is not recommanded to store metalic kitchen utensils, cutlery, knifes or
similar metalic things on the hob. They could heat up near an operating
kooking zone.
•
A container with a smaller bottem than the diameter of the cooking zone can
nevertheless be used without energie loss, in opposition to other
traditional cooking appliances (electirical, gas).
Never prepare any food in aluminium foil and never place any food
wrapped in aluminium foil directly on the hob.
The aluminium would melt down and your appliance would be
damaged for ever and ever.
If a crack appears in the glass surface,
deconnect the appliance immediately from the electric power source,
by removing the fuses or actuating the circuit-breaker.
Do not use any part of the hob before a new
ceramic cooking zone has been fitted.

Containers
What are the best suitable containers ?
You have already some containers which certainly are adapted for induction cooking :
•
ENAMMELLED STEEL PANS (NON-STICL OR NOT )
saucepans, frying pans, meat grill..
•
C
AST IRON PANS .
Choose pans with an enamelled base to avoid scratching the vitro-ceramic surfa-
ce of the hob and move the pans without sliding.
•
STAINLESS STEEL PANS
suitable for
INDUCTION COOKING.
The most of stainless steel containers can be used on the induction hob (sauce-
pans, frying pans,...)
•
ALUMINIUM PANS WITH SPECIAL BASE
CHOOSE UTENSILS WITH THICK BASES, WHICH GIVE MORE EVEN COOKING RESULTS. (THE HEAT IS BETTER
DISTRIBUTED).
•
NOTE :
ANY PAN WITH AN UNEVEN BASE
CAN BE USED IF THE DEFORMATION IS NOT TO IMPORTANT
.
Which types of pan are not suitable ?
GLASS, CERAMIC OR EARTHENWARE PANS, ALUMINIUM PANS WITHOUT SPECIAL BASE OR COPPER PANS AND
NON-MAGNETIC STAINLESS STEEL PANS.
The "hob" test
By means of its microprocessor, your induction hob is able to "recognise"
pans suitable for using on it.
Turn a cooking zone on, set it at position 6 and place your pan on this cooking
zone. If the power setting indicator lights on the keypad flash, your pan is not
suitable.
You can also use the magnet : if it “sticks” on the pan, this is suitable for the
induction hob.

Depending on how your kitchen is laid out, you can fit your hob:
● Above a cupboard or drawer unit
● Above a oven
Your induction hob must always be adequately ventilated.
Make sure that the air inlet through the fan grid at the back is not
obstructed.
If these recommendations are not adhered to, the hob may
overheat, switch into the "safety" position and stop temporarily (

● You want to fit your hob above a cupboard or drawer unit
Example of a hob with the air
escape at the front beneath the
hob.
1 No particular problems with a
small crosspiece.
2 When a rectangular closed
crosspiece is used it must be
chamfered to allow the air to
escape.
3 When several heating zones
are used simultaneously over
long periods of time, or in hot
climatic conditions, we
recommend that openings be
made in the side of the unit
near the air escape to allow the
hot air to be evacuated more
easily.

Protecting the cut-out:
A seal exists for preventing any humidity
getting under the hob.
-Stick the seal under the rim of the hob and
lower the hob into position on the worktop.
-This seal is supplied in the sachet; stick it
in place beneath the hob.
Fitting recommendations
The types of chipboard used for worktops swell relatively quickly in contact
with humidity.
Apply a special varnish or glue to the cutout edge to protect it from any steam
or condensation that may form under the worktop.
