SAFETY GUIDELINES

This hotplate is designed for domestic use

only. These hotplates are for cooking food

and drink only, and none of their

components contain asbestos.

Residual heat

The cooking zones of the hotplate may

remain hot for a few minutes after use.

An “H” will appear on the display while

they are still hot. Do not touch these

areas while the “H” is lit up.

Child safety system

Your hotplate has a child safety system

which blocks its functioning during or

after the cooking process (see the

section on using the child safety

system). Remember to unblock the

safety system before using the appliance

again.

For pacemaker and active implant users

The functioning of the hotplate complies

with current electromagnetic interference

regulations, and it also totally complies

with legal requirements (89/336/EEC

directives).

To prevent any interference occurring

between your hotplate and a pacemaker,

the pacemaker must be designed and

regulated in accordance with the

applicable standard.

To this effect we can only guarantee

the conformity of our own product.

With regard to pacemaker conformity

and any incompatibilities that may

arise, please consult the pacemaker

manufacturer or your doctor.

• Electrical hazard

Always ensure that no electrical

appliance cables near the hotplate are in

contact with the cooking zones.

If you should note any damage to the glass

surface of the hotplate, disconnect the

appliance immediately to avoid risk of

electric shock.

To do this, remove the fuses or switch off the

circuit-breaker. Do not use the hotplate

again until the glass top has been replaced.

1/ INSTALLING YOUR HOTPLATE

••CHOOSING A LOCATION

Your appliance must be fitted so that it can

be plugged into an accessible electrical

socket.

There must be a minimum distance of 4 cm

(area A) between the edge of the hotplate

and the wall (or partition) beside it or behind it.

This appliance can easily be mounted on

top of a kitchen fitting, an oven or a built-in

domestic appliance.

However you must check that the air inlets

and outlets are kept clear (see the section

“Description of the hotplate”).

The hotplate’s electronic circuits must be

cooled by a draught of fresh air, as shown

in the diagram.

Important:

You must ensure that the hotpla-

te’s air inlets are always kept clear.

Wherever your hotplate is installed, it

will always require sufficient ventilation.

There must be an air inlet at the rear

of your induction hotplate and an air

outlet at the front, with a minimum

size of 5 mm.

Some advice:

If your hotplate is installed above

an oven, its thermal safety devices will

prevent it from being used at the same

time as the oven in pyrolytic mode.

The hotplate is equipped with a safety

system to prevent overheating.

This safety device may be activated if

the hotplate is installed above an oven

with insufficient insulation, for exam-

ple. A series of dashes will appear on

the display in the control areas. If this

happens, we recommend you improve

the hotplate’s ventilation by making a

hole in the side of the cabinet it is ins-

talled in.

1 / INSTALLING YOUR HOTPLATE

••ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

These hotplates must be connected to the

mains supply with a plug and socket compl-

ying with publication CIS 60083 or an omni-

polar cut-off device in compliance with the

applicable regulations for electrical

installations.

When the hotplate is powered, or Blue after

an prolonged electricity cut, a code will light

up on the control panel. You should wait

around 30 seconds until this information

disappears before using the hotplate. (It is

normal for this to appear on the display: it is

for use by the after-sales servicing staff if

the need should arise. It is not intended for

the hotplate user.)

400V 2N -16A electrical connection

Separate the 2 phase wires L1 and

L2 before connecting the hotplate.

If the power cord is damaged, for safety

reasons it must be replaced by either the

manufacturer, the after-sales servicing

staff or a similarly qualified person.

If a 400 V 2N three-phase type connection

is being used, in case of hotplate malfunc-

tioning check that the neutral wire is

correctly connected.

2 / USING YOUR HOTPLATE

••DESCRIPTION OF THE HOTPLATE

IF330 16/4/07 15:17 Página 55

2 / USING YOUR HOTPLATE

The induction principle is based on a

magnetic phenomenon.

When you stand a pan on one of the

cooking zones and switch on the appliance,

the hotplate’s electronic circuits generate

“induced” currents in the base of the pan,

instantly increasing its temperature.

This heat is then transmitted to the food

which is simmered or brought quickly to the

boil depending on which power setting you

choose.

Pans.

Most pans are compatible with induction

cookers. Only pans made of glass, ear-

thenware, aluminium (without a special

base), copper and certain non-magnetic

stainless steels are unsuitable for induction

cooking. We suggest you choose pans with

a thick, flat bottom. The heat is distributed

much better in this type of pan and the food

will be cooked more evenly.

••WHICH COOKING ZONE

SHOULD BE USED WITH

WHICH PAN?

Some tips:

To check whether a pan is suitable for

induction cooking:

Place the pan on one of the cooking zones

and turn the power setting to 4.

If the display remains steady, the pan is

compatible.

If it flashes, the pan cannot be used for

induction cooking.

You can also use a magnet with the pan. If

it “sticks” to the bottom of the pan, the pan

is suitable for induction cooking.

2 / USING YOUR HOTPLATE

Important:

•When “PC” (preheating) appears on

the display, if you do not adjust the power

setting the cooking zone will switch off.

• The preheating time is calculated

automatically by the hotplate itself,

depending on the power setting selected.

• The preheating function cannot be used

with a power setting of any lower than 6.

• The preselection buttons cannot be used

for this function.

• When preheating is underway, if you

press any of the power setting buttons

this will cancel out the preheating and the

hotplate will go back into classic power

adjustment mode.

Some advice:

If you are using several pans on the

hotplate at the same time, preference

should be given to cooking zones on

different sides of the hotplate. If you use

cooking zones on the same side, using the

booster button in one zone will

automatically limit the power of the other

zone shown on the display. This automatic

limitation also applies to the preheating

function.

••PREHEATING

This function allows you to quickly raise the

cooking temperature and then continue

cooking at the chosen power setting.

To use it:

• Select power setting 12 and then switch

on the “PC” preheating function to

provide extra power by pressing the “+”

button again. “PC” will appear on the

display.

• While it remains steady on the display,

you can adjust the power setting for

cooking.

• You will hear a beep to confirm the

adjustment.

• “PC” and the power setting selected will

alternate on the display. This is the

“preheating” phase.

• At the end of the automatic preheating

cycle, the hotplate display will only show

the cooking power you have preselected.

It is now functioning in classic cooking

mode.

IF330 16/4/07 15:17 Página 59

2 / USING YOUR HOTPLATE

••SETTING THE TIME

SWITCHES

Each cooking zone has its own time switch,

which can be started up as soon as the par-

ticular cooking zone is switched on. To start

up a time switch or alter it, press the time

switch “+“ or “-” button. To make it easier to

adjust very long cooking times, you can

turn it directly to 99 minutes by pressing the

“-” button at the start. When the cooking

time has elapsed, a 0 will appear on the dis-

play and a beep will sound. To erase this

information, press any of the control but-

tons for the particular cooking zone. If none

of the buttons are pressed, it will stop auto-

matically after a few moments. To stop the

time switch manually, press the “+” and “-”

buttons at the same time, or use the “-” but-

ton to return to 0.

••USING THE “CHILD SAFETY”

SYSTEM

Your hotplate is equipped with a safety

system which prevents the control buttons

from working the appliance when it is swit-

ched off (for cleaning, for example) or when

cooking is underway (so that your settings

cannot be altered). For safety reasons, only

the “stop” buttons are always enabled, which

means you can switch off a cooking zone

even when it is blocked.

How do I use the blocking system?

Press and hold down the block button until

the LED above it lights up and you hear a

confirmation beep.

Hotplate blocked during functioning

The display for the cooking zones being

used will alternate between the power set-

ting and the block symbol

If you press the power setting or time switch

buttons of the cooking zones in use, the

block LED will light up. It will switch off after

a few seconds.

Only the “stop” button is always enabled.

For the cooking zones that are not in use,

the symbol and the LED light up when

you press the “on/off” buttons. This will

disappear from the display after a few

seconds.

The hotplate is blocked when it is stop-

ped

The LED above the block button is switched

off. If you briefly press this button, it will light

up. The LED lights up when you press an

on/off button of any of the cooking zones.

How do I unblock it?

Press the block button until the LED swit-

ches off. You will hear two confirmation

beeps.

Some advice : Remember to unblock

your hotplate before using it again (see the

section on “Using the Child Safety

System”).

Press

briefly

A steady dot will appear and the power settings memorised will appear one by one.

The power setting and time switch values will appear steadily on the display, and the

cooking process will begin.

NOTE

• When the cooking process has finished, 0 will appear on the display and every 5

seconds a beep will sound for a few moments. To erase this information, press any of

the control buttons for the “MEMO” cooking zone.

• When you use the MEMO system, you can return to normal functioning at any time (exit

MEMO) by pressing the “-”, “+” or “preselection” buttons to change your adjustment, or

the “stop” button to stop the cooking process.

• To replace the data stored in the memory, proceed as described in the paragraph «How

to memorise a cooking cycle».

Functioning:

• Up to 5 successive cooking stages can be recorded in the same “MEMO” cooking cycle.

After the fifth phase, the word “no” will appear on the display and the stage will not be

recorded.

• Each stage must last a minimum of 10 seconds for it to be recorded.

• The time switch can only be used at the last cooking stage memorised.

• The preheating function is not available with the “MEMO” function.

• Use of the “MEMO” function will take priority if you are using the two cooking zones on

the same side of the hotplate. At high power settings, the power setting of the opposite

cooking zone may be limited. If this happens, a beep will sound.

IF330 16/4/07 15:17 Página 62

2 / USING YOUR HOTPLATE

••SAFETY SYSTEMS DURING

FUNCTIONING

Residual heat

After intensive use of the hotplate, the coo-

king zones that have just been used may

remain hot for several minutes. An “H” will

appear on the display while it is still hot. Do

not touch these zones while the “H” is on

the display.

Temperature limiter

Each cooking zone is equipped with a

safety sensor which constantly monitors the

base of the pan. If you accidentally leave an

empty pan on a cooking zone that is swit-

ched on, the sensor will automatically adapt

the hotplate power setting to prevent any

risk of damage to the pan or the hotplate.

“Small objects” safety system

Any single small-sized object (forks, spo-

ons, rings, etc.) placed on the hotplate will

not be detected as a pan. The display will

flash and the power will not be switched on.

Important:

Several small-sized objects placed on

a cooking zone at the same time may be

detected as a pan.

The power setting display will remain on

steadily and it may heat up the objects.

Boilover protection

The hotplate will switch off,

a special symbol (shown on

the right) will appear on the

display or a beep will sound

(depending on the model), if

any of these 3 cases occur:

• A liquid boils over onto the control buttons.

• A wet cloth is placed on the buttons.

• A metal object is placed on the control

buttons.

Clean the hotplate or remove the object and

start up the cooking process again.

Auto-Stop system

If you are cooking and forget to switch off

the hotplate, its “Auto-stop system” safety

function will automatically switch off the

cooking zone you have left on after a preset

time has elapsed (from 1 – 10 hours depen-

ding on the power setting selected). If this

safety system is triggered, the symbols

“AS” or “A” will appear on the control area

display and a beep will sound for around 2

minutes to indicate that the zone has been

switched off. To stop the beep, simply press

any of the control buttons. A double confir-

mation beep will sound.

3 / ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF YOUR HOTPLATE

••HOTPLATE CARE

Avoid any knocks from pans:

The vitro-ceramic glass surface is very

hard-wearing, but it is not unbreakable.

Do not place hot pan lids directly on the

hotplate, as a “suction” effect may occur

which will damage the vitro-ceramic top.

Avoid scraping it with kitchen utensils as

this could eventually cause the decorative

part of the vitro-ceramic top to be worn off.

Do not stand pans on the frame or the

embellisher (depending on the model).

Avoid pans with a rough or bumpy base:

particles may become stuck to them and

cause stains or scratches to the hotplate.

These defects will not cause your hotplate

to break down or function incorrectly, and

they are therefore excluded from the

guarantee.

Do not store maintenance products or

flammable substances in the kitchen fitting

under the hotplate.

Never heat up unopened tins of food as

they could explode. This precaution applies

to all forms of cooking.

Never use aluminium foil for cooking. Never

stand products wrapped in aluminium foil or

on an aluminium tray on the hotplate, as the

aluminium will melt and cause permanent

damage to your cooker.

Never store any objects on top of the

hotplate (accidental switch-on, scratches,

etc. could occur).

Never use a steam cleaner with the

hotplate, as the steam jet could damage it.
