You have just become the owner of a ceramic-glass halogen heating zone hob with a touch-sensitive

control panel. You will now be able to take advantage of the four special features of halogen cooking

:

• Performance

The infra-red rays provide immediate transmission of heat. The rapid rise in temperature and low

inertia time of halogen heating zones mean they are very easy to adjust.

• Comfort

Halogen cooking offers the visual reassurance of gas cooking. The intensity of the light from the

lamps - just like flames - and the height of the luminous columns correspond to the amount of heat

given off.

• Appearance

The electronic control panel integrated under the same glass as the heating zone gives a perfectly

smooth surface. The spacing and very different heating capacities of the heating zones and the four

timers (TSG 640) afford high user comfort.

• Convenience

The temperature of the halogen lights drops as soon as the power is turned down. A residual heat

indicator shows when the temperature is still greater than 60°C, even when the heating zone is off.

Control panel

Switching on

The hob is switched on by pressing the key for 2 seconds. The indicator light to the left of the key

will go on.

Start the control panel by pressing the key for 2 seconds. The indicator light next to it goes on.

The heating zones can now be used.

Heating zone control

Each heating zone is controlled by a set of keys divided into two halves :

• a top half

• and a bottom half

To switch on a heating zone and increase the heat level, touch the top half of the key

corresponding to the heating zone of your choice. The heat output is proportional to the

length of time you keep your finger on the key, and is shown very accurately on the luminous

columns (15 levels).

To reduce heat output, touch the bottom half of the key.

To turn to maximum power, only for radiant heating zones, quickly touch the bottom half of

the key brif-ly. The column’s 15 levels light up immediately (the heating zone operates at

100%).

To switch off the heating zone, touch both halves of the key at the same time : the heat

output will immediately go down to zero, and the luminous column will go out;

or touch only the bottom half : heat output will gradually be reduced and the luminous

column will also progressively go out.

Programming a cooking time

It is possible to programme the heating zones separately or simultaneously for different durations of

up to 3 hours.

After selecting the heat level, the cooking time is programmed as follows:

• press the programming key for the heating zone concerned (its indicator light flashes),

0.00 is displayed: setting is in steps of 10 seconds, from 0.00 to 9.50 (from 0 to 9.5 minutes),

then in steps of minutes from 0.10 to 3.00 (from 10 min to 3 hrs).

• press the top part of the heating zone key until the required cooking time is obtained.

The figures displayed are in minutes and seconds.

• save the programme setting by pressing the programming key a second time: the

corresponding light stays on: the timer countdown begins immediately up to the end of the

cooking time. The countdown is displayed in steps of one minute from 3 hrs to 10 min. and

then in seconds from 9.59 min to 0.

All of the heating zones may be programme simultaneously and for different durations: the countdown

displayed is for the heating zone with the brightest indicator.

When the cooking time has lapsed, the power to the heating zone concerned is cut off automatically,

the light column drops to 0. A beeper tells you that the cooking time is completed. If a second heating

zone was programmed, simply press the corresponding timer to display the new countdown.

45

Control panel

Locking the controls

When the hob is in use, you may lock the controls in order to avoid any accidental alteration (children,

cleaning etc.).

Simply touch the key, the indicator light at the left of the key will go off.

To change the heat level or to stop cooking, just press the key for 2 seconds : the controls can

now be activated again.

Safety devices

To protect the hob’s electronic elements, various safety devices may operate. Once the hob has been

switched on, if none of the keys is used for a period of 30 seconds, the key indicator light goes off

: the control panel switches itself off.

Flashing

Any object placed for more than 10 seconds, on the protected zone (pans, cutlery, etc... may set off

a sound signal followed by the 4 indicator lights flashing, the control panel indicator light goes off and

the heating zone or zones switch off:

• to stop the signal, remove the object,

• to stop the lights flashing, press the button for 2 seconds.

The panel indicator light lights up (the heating zone keys can be controlled again).

Overheating

Prolonged use of the hob can cause the overheating of the electronic components. In this case, an

automatic thermal safety mechanism briefly reduces the power level (to position 3) of the hotplates

on the right. When this happens, the indicator light columns flash in a “chain” pattern. When the

temperature falls to a safe level, the flashing of the lights stops, and the power remains at the reduced

level. At this time, the right-hand hotplates can be used again at a higher level if necessary.

Cleaning

Turn off the hob by pressing the key. If during cleaning you press the power on the key, turn it

off again.

46

Using the heating zones

Description of the heating zones

The hob is equipped with two types of heating zone : halogen heating zones and radiant heating

zones.

The halogen heating zones consist of one quartz circular tube which contains a tungsten filament

protected by halogen gas and a circular resistance. The heating zones produce immediate heat and

visualisation is instantaneous. We recommend them for quick cooking at high temperatures.

The radiant heating zones consist of circular elements whose filaments turn red. Visualisation is

less instantaneous than with halogen heating zones. We recommend them for slow cooking.

Both halogen and radiant heating zones are controlled by a Mijotronic regulator. They do not heat

constantly but in predetermined sequences.

Adjusting the heating zones

The luminous columns are divided into 15 levels corresponding to different power levels :

Very fast (steaks, to bring to the boil...)

Very low (melted butter, melted chocolate, etc...)

Fast (fish, pancakes, omelettes, etc...)

Medium - Simmering (potatoes, boiled beef with vegetables,

stews, vegetables, fruit, soups, rice etc...)

Low (thickening sauces, scrambled eggs, keeping dishes hot...)

Pans to use

Any cooking utensils may be used. However, we would recommend that you use flat, thick-bottomed

dishes - copper and stainless steel “sandwich” -style bases or specially prepared bases - and that to

prevent scratching of the glass surface, all recipients with rough bases should be avoided, as should

aluminium which leave a deposit on the glass, which is difficult to remove.

To maximise energy use, the diameter of your pan should be at least that of the heating zone that you

are using. It is also advisable to use a lid to accelerate the rise in temperature.

47

Maintenance

The ceramic glass used for the heating area is very smooth and totally non-porous; it is also resistant

to both mechanical and thermal shocks (i.e. it is insensitive to temperature changes). For it to keep all

of these properties, we advise you to look after it in the following way:

• For normal maintenance, wipe the surface with a damp sponge and dry it with a soft cloth. If the

hob is dirty, rub with a cleaning fluid*, rince and wipe. When the hob is clean, you may use a liquid

cleaner : this leaves an invisible film which protects the surface should a pan boil over. Clean the hob

when it is either cold or only slightly warm.

• Food stains may be removed by scraping, e.g. with a sharp blade. Do not wait for the surface to

cool down ; clean as soon as possible in order to avoid food sticking. A stainless steel wire pad

soaked in soapy water gives excellent results. Always take care to rinse the surface with clean water

and dry it well afterwards ; residue from cleaning products may form a crust when the hob is next in

use.

Precautions to take

Never use abrasives, even gentle ones. This will cause permanent scratching. We recommend that

you do not use anything which is likely to melt, such as plastic objects, sugar, or products with

a high sugar content, near to the hob. If, something melts onto the hob surface, remove immediately

by scraping with a sharp blade. This should be done while the surface is still hot, in order to avoid

spoiling the surface.

To avoid incorrect instructions, do not let any water or other liquid settle on the control panel. Do

not place hot pans on the controls.

The hob should only be used for cooking. Never leave anything (lids, saucepans, cloths) on it

when it is not being used. Do not use it as a cutting surface.

Aluminium packages, tin foil and plastic utensils must not be placed on warm or hot surfaces.

Any damage done to the surface in this way is not covered by the guarantee.

Warning

If any cracks should appear on the surface switch the hob off immediately.

Do not stare directely into the halogen lamps on the hob.

TECHNICAL SECTION FOR INSTALLATION

Read this part carefully. It concerns very important instructions for safety in installation,

operation and maintenance.

Installation

· After unpacking the appliance, check that it is undamaged.

The packaging elements (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, screws, etc.) can be dangerous

and must not be left within the reach of children.

· The installation must be done by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s

instructions.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage caused to individuals, animals or

property due to the incorrect installation of the appliance.

The hob fits into any worktop. Most types of worktop are suitable : certain plastics should, however,

be avoided as heating to above 100°C may misshape them. Take care to leave a space of 5 cm

between the back of the hob and the back of the worktop, so as to avoid burning the wall or the rear

panel, particularly if the latter is laminated.

Make certain that the seal around the outside edge of the hob is correctly installed in order to

avoid any leakage into the cabinetry below.

Very important

It is essential to install the hob on a totally flat surface. Any damage caused by incorrect fitting may

alter the characteristics or impair performance.

The dimensions of the hole must be exactly the same those indicated in the diagram.

The hob is of the X integrated type (IEC 335-2-6 standard).

If the hob is installed above an oven : in order to avoid overheating of the electronic

components of the hob, it is ESSENTIAL to leave a space 560 mm wide by 8 mm.

high between the upper fittings of the oven and the underside of the work surface.

Avoid installing a dishwasher under the hob. If you do, fit a waterproof separation

between the two appliances.

COMPLIES WITH STANDARDS AS DEFINED IN CE DIRECTIVES:

* CEM: CEE 89/336

* DBT: 73-23
