This product complies with EU Directive 2002/96/EC.
The crossed-out rubbish bin symbol seen on the appliance indicates that the appliance must
be disposed of separately from other domestic refuse at the end of its useful life. It must
therefore be delivered to a waste recycling centre specifi cally for electric and electronic
equipment or returned to the original retailer.
The user is responsible for delivering the appliance to the appropriate collection centre at the end of its
useful life. Failure to do so may result in a fi ne, as provided for by laws governing waste disposal.
Differential collection of waste products for eventual recycling, treatment and environmentally friendly
disposal helps reduce possible negative effects on the environment and health. It also enables the
materials making up the product to be recycled. For more detailed information on the available refuse
collection systems, refer to the local Municipal Solid Waste disposal centre or the shop where the product
was purchased.
Producers and importers are responsible for fulfi lling their obligations in regards to recycling, treatment and
environmentally friendly disposal by directly or indirectly participating in the collection system.
INDUCTION COOKING
The induction cooking is a radical change on the traditional way of cooking. The heat is generated from
directly in the cooking vessel and maintains a cold cooking surface. For this reason it presents many
advantages when compared to other cooking methods.
High speed cooking and frying. The efficiency is greater than
other systems because there is no heat loss as you are warming
the vessel directly and not the cooking surface.
It is economic. It is proven that cooking with an induction hot
plate dramatically reduces electrical consumption in comparison
with other cooking methods.
Cooking and security control. As soon as the control is
used, the hob produces or suspends the electrical output. If a
vessel is removed without previously switching off the hob, it will
automatically stop the output of heat. If any combustible material;
ie a rag, is left on the hob, it will not burn even if the cooking area
is actived. This is because after using the hob, the glass surface
retains only the remaining heat transmitted by the vessel.
Cleaning. As the glass absorbs only a small part of the vessel
heat, it relatively cool. This helps to avoid any foods that may
spill from burning onto the surface. Although it is not entirely
necessary, wait for the hob to completely cool to clean it.

application are at consumers own risk as they
can be dangerous. The manufacturer is not
responsible for any damages caused by incorrect
use of the appliance.
If there are children at home:
Use the control lock so children cannot switch on
the hob or modify its setting.
The appliance must be used only by adults who
are able to understand the indications in this
directive and on the appliance.
Do not permit children to play with the appliance.
To protect children ensure that any articles that
may interest them are removed form the proximity
of the hob.
Monitor children when they’re around hot cooking
pots as it is possible for them to upset these,
resulting in an explosion, fire or scorching.
Children should be not exposed to the packaging
of this appliance. The packaging should be
disposed of securely.
Using the appliance effectively
Do not use pots or pans with a rough bottom (i.e.
cast iron), because they could scratch the surface
of the hob. Also grains of sand or other granular
substances could cause scratches.
Make sure that sugar - liquefied or solid, plastic
or silver paper are never put on the hot cooking
areas. These materials melt and stick to the
surface and when they cool they can crack, break
or permanently damage the ceramic surface.
If these substances do reach the hot cooking
areas, switch off the hob and eliminate them with
an appropriate utensil as soon as possible while
the appliance is still hot.
Attention: It is important to clean the hob with
caution as the cooking areas in this instance
may be hot and there is the possibility of scalding

Attention:
To guarantee that the appliance is functioning correctly it
is important to provide a surface, during the installation,
of a minimum 4 mm spacer for the length of the recess on
the front side of the furniture. This is required to assist the
electrical controls should temperatures reach over 85°C,
where upon the hob controls will automatically turn the
appliance off until the temperature returns under the limit
required. To ensure temperatures in the control area are
maintained during operation the appliance’s cooling fan will
start automatically. Ensure sufficient air flow in accordance
with the diagram opposite including an escape area to the
front of the cabinetry to a minimum of 4mm. This swill ensure
that temperatures will not exceed 85 degree C and will
protect the electronic control systems. If this installation is
not followed the manufacturer and supplier warranty is void.
Electrical connection
The appliance must be installed by a qualified
technician who knows the relevant security
and assembling rules in force. In particular,
local power institution rules must be observed.

plate is placed on the back side of the hob.
Grounding is compulsory according to the law.
All the electric wires and grounding conductors
should have the appropriate dimensions.
The electrical connection between the hob and
a possible oven must be provided individually.
In the case of a direct connection to the supply,
it is necessary to install a mono-pole switch
between the appliance and the supply with
a minimal 3mm opening between the contacts.
The manufacturer/supplier is not responsible for
any damages to persons or property caused by
the non-observance of above installation rules.
•

START AND USE
Practical advise for the appliances
use and for best performance:
Use cooking vessels which are compatible with
the induction principle (ferromagnetic material).
It is recommended that you use enameled steel
or special induction inox pots. To assure the
compatibility of a vessel it is sufficient to check
with a magnet.

•
Use flat bottom pots with elevated thickness to
be sure that these perfectly adhere to the heating
areas.
Use pots with a diameter big enough to cover the
heating area completely. This will guarantee the
exploitation of all available heat.
Make sure that the pot base is always dry and
clean to ensure the correct contact.
Avoid using the same pots that may be used on
gas burners. The gas burners heat concentration
could deform the pot bottom which will degrade
the adhesion to the hob.

START AND USE
Switching on the applicance:
The hob switches on by selecting the n°5 sensor
on the controls area. When this sensor is selected
a sound is made. If it is the first time the appliance
is switched on, the appliance lights up all of the
displays on the control panel and switches off after
10 seconds. This puts into action the sensor n°6.
Disconnect the key selecting the sensor. The
heated areas switch on and all stay at “0” until a
power level is selected. If this does not succeed in
10 seconds, the hob will automatically switch off.
Select the key (+) for the appropriate cooking
area, which will position itself at level 1.
The highest level achievable is 9. With the sensor
(-) the power reduces until 0.
If, with the 0 level selected, the sensor (-) is
pushed, the power becomes level 9.
Booster Function
This function brings every power zone to the
highest level (position 10) for a maximum period of
10 minutes. Passed this period the power returns
to the level it was previously at.
On the selected area display appears the letter
“P”. This function can be excluded any time by
reselecting the command zone “Booster”. The
same will bring the power back to the one pre-
selected with a confirming sound. This function can
also be excluded by pressing the keys (+) or (-). In
this case the power level will be immediately higher
or lower than that selected before the connection
of the “Booster” function.
Attention:
The “Booster” function brings the power to
3000W for the Ø 220 and to 2800W for the Ø 190.
This means that during the operation, the front
areas will have the power of 600 W for that of
Ø220 and 800 W for that of Ø 190. This is due to
the appliance having two generators of 3600W.
Key Function (lock)
This function can be activated whether with the
appliance is switched on or off. The purpose is
to exclude the command sensors to avoid
accidental changes. In case the sensor is
activated when the appliance is functioning, all
the power zones and the timer controls will be
blocked. Ignition control will remain operative
(n°5 of the picture above). If the key is selected
when the appliance is switched off, the switch-
on/switch off sensor will be excluded (n°5). The
commencement of the function is reported through
a pilot light placed over the key symbol. When
the light is switched on the key is activated,
when it is switch off the key is not activated.
Timer Function
The timer can be activated by pushing on the
corresponding sensors (+) (-).
Between 1 and 99 minutes can be selected, which
can be modified at any time.
To cancel the function, press on key (-) or
simultaneously press on keys (+) and (-).
With the timer on “00” push on (+) sensor to
increase the minutes.
By pressing on (-) sensor the timer will positioning
itself on “99”, and fall until the sensor is released at
the time needed.

START AND USE
Timer running with cooking areas
You can use the timer on all cooking areas,
however they can operate only one at a time. To
make the cooking area function with the timer,
operate as specified below:
Activate the timer.
Select one cooking area. A LED will light
both the timer and the selected cooking area.
Within 10 seconds select the time to pre-set on
the timer. If this does not happen, the area will
automatically switch off. It is possible to use the
timer with the cooking area power at “0“. Time
alterations have to be made with the (+) and (-)
sensors.
When selecting the timer amount, the speed of
the timer will increase as sensors are pushed for a
longer time.
When the timer on the cooking is finished, the
timer starts flashing with “00” values on the display
and a sound is made. This sound can be stopped
by pushing one of the touch sensors or it stops
automatically after a minute.
Automatic switch-off.

Switching off the Appliance
To switch off the appliance it is necessary to push
on n°5 sensor. When the hob is switched off a
sound is made and an “H” symbol appears on the
cooking areas, which indicates the afterheat or a
possible failure.
Display directions
If the heating zone is switched on, the “0” symbol
appears on the display. If the cooking is terminated
and the area is already hot, the “0” and “H”
symbols are alternatively visualized. If a power
level between “1” and “9” or the Booster function is
selected and a suited pot is not put on the cooking
area, the sign starts flashing. If a suited pot is not
put placed on the hob, the power level will return to
“0” after 30 seconds are passed.
If the pot is suitable, the power sign remains fixed
in the display.
The cooking area can also be switched off
manually by pushing on the (+) and (-) sensors
simultaneously or by bringing the (-) sensor to “0”
position.

CARE AND CLEANLINESS
Never use vapour machines to clean.
The vapor can reach the electrical conductor
components and cause it to short-circuit. Vapor
pressure can also cause permanent damage to
the surface of the appliance. The manufacturer/
supplier is not responsible of these damages.
Do not use pointed objects on the appliance as
these can damage washers between the ceramic
surface, the frame and between frame and
working surface.
Do not use products with sands, alkali, acids or
chlorides, oven spray, detergents used to clean
dishwashers, steel wool, abrasive dampers or a
hard bristle brush. Also, do not use dampers or
other products which have abrasive detergent
residuals because they could scratch the surface.
If an incorrect cleaning detergent is used, the
surface may appear bleached or with permanent
blue stains.
Use special detergent for ceramic cooktops and
follow the manufacturers’ directions.
Eliminate all detergent from the cooking zones
•
•
•
•
•
•
with a wet cloth. If the cooking zones are switched
on and there is residual detergent still there, these
could damage the ceramic.
For this reason, clean all impurities immediately so
that they do not burn onto the surface. Make sure
that the bottom of the cooking vessels are clean,
dry and without grease before using them on the
hob.
Do not put metallic objects on the hob.
Clean the appliance regularly and always after
use.
Before cleaning, wait until the hob has cooled.
Clean the hob with a special ceramic detergent
and kitchen paper or with a smooth, wet cloth.
Always dry the appliance after cleaning it with
a wet cloth to avoid the formation of calcareous
deposits.
