Precautions not to damage the appliance
Raw pan bottoms or damaged saucepans (not enamelled cast iron pots,) may damage
the ceramic glass.
Sand or other abrasive materials may damage ceramic glass.
Avoid dropping objects, even little ones, on the vitroceramic.
Make sure that the ventilation of the appliance works according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Do not hit the edges of the glass with saucepans.
Do not put or leave empty saucepans on the vitroceramic hobs.
Sugar, synthetic materials or aluminium sheets must not contact with the heating zones.
These may cause breaks or other alterations of the vitroceramic glass by cooling: switch
on the appliance and take them immediately out of the hot heating zone (be careful: do
not burn yourself).
Never place any hot container over the control panel.
If a drawer is situated under the embedded appliance, make sure the space between the
content of the drawer and the inferior part of the appliance is large enough (2cm). This is
essential to guaranty a correct ventilation.
Never put any inflammable object (ex. sprays) into the drawer situated under the
vitroceramic hob. The eventual cutlery drawers must be resistant to heat.
Precautions in case of appliance failure
If a defect is noticed, switch on the appliance and turn off the electrical supplying.
If the ceramic glass is cracked or fissured, you must unplug the appliance and contact
the after sales service.
Repairing has to be done by specialists. Do not open the appliance by yourself.
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to avoid the possibility of
electric shock.
Other protections
Note sure that the container pan is always centred on the cooking zone. The bottom of
the pan must have to cover as much as possible the cooking zone.
For the users of pacemaker, the magnetic field could influence its operating. We
recommend getting information to the retailer or of the doctor.

Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed when the calories
brought out by the electronic system reach a certain level. The ventilation starts his high speed
when the hob is intensively used. The cooling fan reduces his speed and stops automatically
when the electronic circuit is cooled enough.
STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Before the first use
Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent
which risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
Induction principle
An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable
electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the
pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be adapted:
All ferromagnetic pans are recommended (please verify it thanks a little magnet): cast
iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…
Are excluded: cupper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic,
stoneware…
The induction heating zone adapts automatically the size of the pan. With a too small diameter
the pan doesn’t work. This diameter is varying in function of the heating zone diameter.
If the pan is not adapted to the induction hob the display will show [ U ].

Pan detection
The pan detection ensures a perfect safety.
The induction doesn’t work:
If there is no pan on the heating zone or if this pan is not adapted to the induction. In this
case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol
disappears when a pan is put on the heating zone.
If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows
[ U ]. The symbol [ U ] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The
cooking continues with the power level chosen before.
Residual heat indication
After the switch-off of the hob, the heating zone is still hot and indicates [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zone may be touched without danger.
As far as the residual heat indicator is on light, don’t touch the heating zone and don’t put any
heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.
Booster function
The booster function [ P ] grants a boost of power to the selected heating zone.
If this function is activated the heating zones works during 10 minutes with an ultra high power.
The booster is foreseen for example to heat up rapidely big quantities of water, like nuddles

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.
The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforce in his home country.
How to stick the gasket
The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.
His installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.
Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters
from the external edge of the glass,
after removing the protection sheet (3).
Fitting – installing
The cut out sizes are :
Appliance
7321240
7322240
Cut out
360 x 490 mm
360 x 490 mm
Ensure that there is a distance of 50 mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
The hobs are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be
installed with plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units
or a wall at one side. On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand
higher than the hob.
The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges
of furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist
temperatures of up to 100 °C.
The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To
protect the cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must
be given to applying the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into
the supporting furniture. This gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction
with smooth work top surfaces.
Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 mm to ensure a good air
circulation of the electronic device.
If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects (for
example: sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.
The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the
indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions respect a
distance minimum of 760 mm.
The connection cord should be subjected, after building, with no mechanical constraint,
such for example of the fact of the drawer.
