control (3), and hold down for 3 seconds. The symbol "A" alternates in
display (7) with the selected setting level.
If a higher setting level is then selected, the preheating function is main-
tained, and the preheating time is adapted to the new selected setting.
If, on the other hand, a lower setting level is selected, the automatic
preheating function is cancelled.
Sound signal (buzzer)
During use, the following activities are signaled by a buzzer:
· Normal button pressing by a short sound.
· Buttons kept pressed down for more than 10 s by a continuous sound.
Timer Function
The timer function permits up to a maximum of 7 independent timers.
That is, one timer for each individual cooking zone and one stand-alone
timer (independent to the cooking zones).
Stand-alone timer
-If the touch control is turned on but no cooking zones are operating (all
the indicators (4) are flashing), the stand-alone timer can be activated by
simultaneously pressing buttons (15) and (16) until indicator (17) turns
on. If, however, any of the zones is at a power level other than "0", the
stand-alone timer can be activated
by simultaneously pressing buttons (15) and (16) several times until indi-
cator (17) turns on. The timer display (8) shows "0.00". Now it is possible
to select the required time between 0 and 119 minutes. If no value is
selected, the timer is deactivated after 5 seconds.
- To select the required time, simply press the More button (16) to in-
crease the time or the Less button (15) to reduce it.
- After the programmed time, an intermittent sound signal is activated
and the display (8) shows an flashing "0.00". Both "0.00" and the sound
signal turn off when any of buttons (15), (16) or (1) are pressed, or after
2 minutes have elapsed.
- If it is active, when the Touch Control is switched off using the ON/OFF
button (1), the stand-alone timer continues the countdown.
Timer for the cooking zones
- If at least one cooking zone is operating, the timer can be activated by
pressing buttons (15) and (16) at the same time.
- The timer display (8) shows "0.00" and the timer symbol (10) corre-
sponding to the functioning cooking zone located further to the left turns
on. At this point, you now have 5 seconds to select the time for the re-
quired cooking zone with the More (16) and Less (15) buttons. During this
operation, all of the sliding controls
(3) for selecting the power level of the cooking zones remain active.
- To change the timer assigned to a cooking zone to the timer assigned to
another zone, simply press buttons (15) and (16) repeatedly at the same
time until the timer symbol (10) of the required zone lights up.
- At the end of the programmed time, an intermittent sound signal is ac-
tivated and "0.00" flashes on the display (8), the corresponding cooking
zone switches off and its display (7) shows "0" (alternating with "H" if
there is any residual heat). Both "0.00" and the sound signal turn off
when any of buttons (15), (16) or (1) are pressed, or after 2 minutes
have elapsed.
Using the timer
- The required time value can be selected by using the More (16) and
Less (15) buttons.
- The maximum time that can be selected is 1 hour 59 min.
- To deactivate the timer, the "0.00" value must be selected by pressing
the Less (15) button repeatedly or by holding it down.
Pans (Fig. 3)
- A magnet-attracting pan may be suitable for induction cooking.
- Preferably use pans indicated as being suitable for induction cooking.
- Flat and thick-bottomed pans.
- A pan with the same diameter as the cooking zone ensures the maxi-
mum power is used.
- A smaller pan reduces the power but will not lead to energy loss. In
any case, we do not recommend the use of pans with a diameter of less
than 10 cm.
- Stainless steel pans with multi-layer or ferritic stainless-steel bases if
the base indicates: for induction cooking.
- If cast iron pans are used, these should preferably have an enamel
bottom to avoid scratching the ceramic hob surface.
- The following types of pans are not suitable: glass, ceramic, earth-
enware, aluminium, copper or non-magnetic (austenitic) stainless steel.
Maintenance (Fig. 4)
Pieces of aluminium foil or food, fat splashes, spilt sugar or highly sug-
ared foodstuffs should be removed immediately from the cooking sur-
face using a spatula to avoid scratching the hob surface. Subsequently
clean the surface with a suitable product and kitchen roll, rinse with wa-
ter and dry with a clean cloth. Never use abrasive sponges or scourers
and avoid the use of aggressive chemical detergents or stain removers.
Instructions for the fitter
Installation
These instructions are to be used by the fitter as a guide to installation,
setting and maintenance in line with current regulations and standards.
The appliance must be disconnected from the mains before any work
is carried out.
Installation (Fig. 5)
The appliance is designed for fitting into a worktop, as shown in the
figure.
Place the supplied sealant around the perimeter of the hob.
The hob should not be installed over an oven, although if this is the case,
check that:
- the oven is equipped with an appropriate cooling system
- there is no warm-air leakage from the oven towards the hob.
- suitable air inlets are provided as shown in the figure.
Electrical connection (Fig. 6)
Check the following before the electrical connection is made:
- the installation characteristics are in line with that indicated on the
specifications plate on the base of the hob surface
- the installation is fitted with an efficient earthing connection in line with
current regulations and law. The earth connection is a legal requirement.
Where the appliance is not supplied with a cable or plug, use suitable
material for the current indicated on the specifications plate and for the
operating temperature. The cable must never reach a temperature of
more than 50 °C above the ambient temperature.
