Switching on the cooking zones  
! A few seconds after the hob is connected to the  
electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may  
now be switched on.  
Each cooking zone is controlled using a selector  
button and a power adjustment device  
Types of noise during normal hob operation:  
• Buzz: due to the vibration of the metallic parts that  
make up the induction element and the pot; it is  
generated by the electromagnetic field required for  
heating and increases as the power of the induction  
element increases.  
• Soft whistle: heard when the pot placed on the  
heating zone is empty; the noise disappears once  
food or water is placed into the pot.

light directly above the button will illuminate. This  
function boosts the power to 2000 W or 3000 W,  
depending on the size of the relevant cooking zone.  
The booster stops automatically after 4 minutes. While  
the booster for one of the cooking zones is active, the  
corresponding front or rear cooking zone will operate at  
a reduced power level (e.g. if the booster for the rear  
left-hand hotplate has been activated, the power level  
of the front left-hand hotplate will be reduced). For  
further information, please refer to the Technical  
description of the models.  
(induction); can be more or less intense depending  
on the material making up the bottom of the pot,  
and decreases as the pot dimensions increase.  
• Loud whistle: heard when two induction elements  
of the same group function simultaneously at  
maximum power and/or when the booster function is  
set on the larger element while the other is auto-  
adjusted. Noise is reduced by decreasing the power  
level of the auto-adjusted induction element; pot  
bottom layers made of different kinds of materials  
are among the main causes of this noise.  
• Fan noise: a fan is necessary to ensure the hob  
functions correctly and to safeguard the electronic  
unit from possible overheating. The fan functions at  
maximum power when the large induction element is  
at maximum power or when the booster function is  
on; in all other cases, it works at average power  
depending on the temperature detected.

• Always use pans with a diameter which is large  
enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all  
the available heat.  
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always  
clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the  
life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.  
Buzzer  
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been  
used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas  
burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it  
not to adhere correctly.  
This can also indicate several irregularities:  
• An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on  
the control panel for more than 10 seconds.  
• Something has been spilt on the control panel.  
• A button has been pressed for too long. All of the  
above situations may cause the buzzer to sound.  
Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the  
buzzer. If the cause of the problem is not removed,  
the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will  
switch off.  
Safety devices  
Pan sensor  
Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor  
device. The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with  
suitable measurements for the cooking zone is placed  
on it. If the indicator light is flashing, it may indicate:  
• An incompatible pan  
• A pan whose diameter is too small  
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.

Precautions and tips  
! This appliance has been designed and manufactured  
in compliance with international safety standards. The  
following warnings are provided for safety reasons and  
must be read carefully.  
• Always make sure that pan handles are turned  
GB  
towards the centre of the hob in order to avoid  
accidental burns.  
• When unplugging the appliance, always pull the plug  
from the mains socket; do not pull on the cable.  
• Never perform any cleaning or maintenance work  
without having disconnected the appliance from the  
electricity mains.  
This appliance conforms to the following  
European Economic Community directives:  
- 2006/95/EEC dated 12/12/06 (Low Voltage) and  
subsequent amendments;  
• The appliance should not be operated by people  
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or  
mental capacities, by inexperienced individuals or by  
anyone who is not familiar with the product. These  
individuals should, at the very least, be supervised  
by someone who assumes responsibility for their

- 1275/2008 stand-by/off mode.  
• For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or  
other active implants:  
General safety  
The hob complies with all current standards on  
electromagnetic interference.  
! Make sure that the air inlet behind the fan grille is  
never obstructed. The built-in hob should, in fact, be  
provided with suitable ventilation for the cooling of the  
electronic components used in the appliance.  
! We advise against the installation of an induction hob  
above an under-the-counter refrigerator (heat) or above a  
washing machine (vibrations). In fact, there would be  
insufficient space for the ventilation of electronic  
components.  
• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside  
the home and is not intended for commercial or  
industrial use.  
• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in  
covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the  
appliance exposed to rain and storms.  
Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping  
with legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It is  
designed not to create interference on any other  
electrical apparatus being used on condition that the  
apparatus in question also complies with this  
legislation.  
Your induction hob generates short-range magnetic  
fields. To avoid any interference between your  
induction hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be  
designed to comply with relevant regulations. In this  
respect, we can only guarantee our own product  
conformity. Please consult the pacemaker  
manufacturer or your doctor concerning its conformity  
or any possible incompatibility.  
• Do not let children play with the appliance.  
• Do not place metal objects (knives, spoons, pan lids,  
etc.) on the hob as they may become hot.  
The appliance is not intended to be operated by  
means of an external timer or separate remote-  
control system.  
• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot or with wet  
or damp hands and feet.  
The appliance must be used by adults only for the  
preparation of food, in accordance with the  
instructions outlined in this booklet. Any other  
use of the appliance (e.g. for heating the room)  
constitutes improper use and is dangerous. The  
manufacturer may not be held liable for any  
damage resulting from improper, incorrect and  
unreasonable use of the appliance.  
• The glass ceramic hob is resistant to mechanical  
shocks, but it may crack (or even break) if hit with a  
sharp object such as a tool. If this happens,  
disconnect the appliance from the electricity mains  
immediately and contact a Service Centre.  
Disposal  
• When disposing of packaging material: observe local  
legislation so that the packaging may be reused.  
• The European Directive 2002/96/EC relating to Waste  
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states  
that household appliances should not be disposed of  
using the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted  
appliances should be collected separately in order to  
optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the  
materials inside the machine, while preventing  
potential damage to the atmosphere and to public  
health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all  
products to remind the owner of their obligations  
regarding separated waste collection.  
• Ensure that power supply cables of other electrical  
appliances do not come into contact with the hot  
parts of the hob.  
• Remember that the cooking zones remain relatively  
hot for at least thirty minutes after they have been  
switched off. An indicator light provides a warning  
when residual heat is present (see Start-up and use).  
• Keep any object which could melt away from the hob,  
for example plastic and aluminium objects, or  
products with a high sugar content. Be especially  
careful when using plastic film and aluminium foil or  
packaging: if placed on surfaces which are still hot,  
they may cause serious damage to the hob.  
For further information relating to the correct disposal  
of exhausted household appliances, owners may  
contact the public service provided or their local  
dealer.

Care and maintenance  
Switching the appliance off  
Disconnect your appliance from the electricity  
supply before carrying out any work on it.  
• Once it is clean, the hob may be treated with a  
special protective maintenance product: the  
invisible film left by this product protects the  
surface from drips during cooking. This  
GB  
Cleaning the appliance  
maintenance task should be carried out while the  
appliance is warm (not hot) or cold.  
! Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents (for  
example, products in spray cans for cleaning  
barbecues and ovens), stain removers, anti-rust  
products, powder detergents or sponges with  
abrasive surfaces: these may scratch the surface  
beyond repair.  
• Always remember to rinse the appliance well with  
clean water and dry it thoroughly: residues can  
become encrusted during subsequent cooking  
processes.  
Stainless steel frame (only in models with outer  
frame)  
! Never use steam cleaners or pressure cleaners on  
the appliance.  
Stainless steel can be marked by hard water which  
has been left on the surface for a long time, or by  
cleaning products containing phosphorus.  
• It is usually sufficient simply to wash the hob  
using a damp sponge and dry it with absorbent  
kitchen towel.  
After cleaning, it is advisable to rinse the surface  
well and dry it thoroughly. If water is spilt on the  
surface, dry it quickly and thoroughly.  
• If the hob is particularly dirty, rub it with a special  
glass ceramic cleaning product, then rinse well  
and dry thoroughly.  
• To remove more stubborn dirt, use a suitable  
scraper. Remove spills as soon as possible,  
without waiting for the appliance to cool, to avoid  
residues forming crusty deposits. You can  
achieve excellent results by using a rust-proof  
steel wire sponge - specifically designed for  
glass ceramic surfaces - soaked in soapy water.  
• If any plastic or sugary substances are  
accidentally melted on the hob, remove them  
immediately with the scraper, while the surface is  
still hot.  
! Some hobs have an aluminium frame which is  
similar to stainless steel. Do not use any cleaning or  
degreasing products which are not suitable for use  
with aluminium.  
Disassembling the hob  
If it is necessary to disassemble the hob:  
1. Loosen the screws fixing the alignment springs on  
each side.  
2. Loosen the screws holding the fixing hooks in  
each corner.  
3. Take the hob out of its installation cavity.  
! Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. If  
the appliance breaks down, contact a Service  
Centre.
