Selection of the cooking level. No pan or inadequate pan. Automatic cooking. Electronic failure. The heating zone is hot. The Power is activated. The Super power is activated. Maintain automatically of 42, 70 or 94°C. The hob is in pause. 2 cooking zones are combined. 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 ]. Sensitive touch Your ceramic hob is equipped with electronic controls with sensitive touch keys. When your finger presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound. In the case of a general use press only one key at the same time. Power selection zone “SLIDER” and timer setting zone To select the power with the slider, slide your finger on the “SLIDER” zone. You can already have a direct access if you put your finger directly on the chosen level. Power selection zone "SLIDER" and timer setting zone "SLIDER" Direct access Starting-up • Start up / switch off the hob: Action Control panel Display To start press key [] [0] To stop press key [] nothing or [H] • Start up / switch off a heating zone: Action Control panel Display To set (adjust the power) slide on the "SLIDER" to the right or to the left [1] to [ P ] To stop slide to [ 0 ] on “SLIDER“ [0] or [H] If no action is made within 20 second the electronics returns in waiting position. 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 set before. After use, switch the heat element off: don't let the pan detection [ U ] active. Residual heat indication After the switch off of a heating zone or the complete stop of the hob, the heating zones are still hot and indicates [ H ] on the display. The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched without danger. As far as the residual heat indicators are on light, don't touch the heating zones and don't put any heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire. Power and Super Power function Power [ P ] and Super Power [111] grant a boost of Power to the selected heating zone. If this function is activated the heating zones work during 10 minutes with an ultra high Power. This is foreseen for example to heat up rapidly big quantities of water, like nuddles • Start up / Stop the Power: Action Control panel Display Start up the Power Slide to the end of the "SLIDER" Or press directly on the end of the "SLIDER" [P] Stop the Power Slide on the "SLIDER" [9] to [0] • Start up / Stop Super Power Action Control panel Display Start up the Power Slide to the end of the "SLIDER" Or press directly on the end of the "SLIDER" [P] Start up Super Power Re-press key [P] [and P ] Stop the Super Power Slide on the "SLIDER" [ P ] to [ 0 ] Stop Powerr Slide on the "SLIDER" [9] to [0] • Power management: The table is divided in 3 separate sets of heating zones, each set having a maximum power. If the selected heating levels for both zones exceed the maximum available amount of power, the power management function is automatically reducing the power from one of these zones. The display of this zone is first blinking; the level is then automatically reduced to the highest suitable position. Heating zone selected [P] is displayed The other heating zone: (example: power level 9) [9] goes to [8] and blinks It is possible to activate the booster function (or double booster) on several cooking zones at the same time, for this it is necessary to use the zones in a discriminant way (A-B, A-C, B-C or A-B-C). Timer The timer is able to be used simultaneous with all heating zones and this with different time settings (from 0 to 999 minutes) for each heating zone. Setting and modification of the cooking time: • Action Control panel Display Select the power level Select the Timer slide on the "SLIDER" Press simultaneously key [ - ] and [ + ] Timer display on from the timer until the desired display is on Decrease the time Increase the time Press key [ - ] from the timer Press key [ + ] from the timer [ 1 ] to [ P ] [ 60 ] to 59, 58... Time increase After a few seconds, the [ min ] display stops with blinking. The time is confirmed and the timer starts. To stop the cooking time: • Action Control panel Display Select the Timer Stop the time Press simultaneously key [ - ] and [ + ] Timer display on from the timer until the desired display is on Press key [-] from the timer If several timers are activated, repeat the process.
