Carefully read the contents of this leaflet since it provides
important instructions regarding safety of installation, use
and maintenance.
Keep the leaflet for possible future consultation. All the
operations relating to installation (electrical connections)
must be carried out by specialised personnel in conformity
with the regulations in force.

1.1 The principle of induction

The system of cooking by induction is based on the physi-
cal phenomenon of magnetic induction.
The fundamental feature of this system is direct transfer
of heat energy from the generator to the pan without in-
termediate means (different from traditional cooker tops
see fig.1).
1.2 Advantages
If you compare your electric cooker tops, with the induction
cooker top, the result will be:
- Safer: low temperature on the glass surface
- Quicker: brief heating times.
- More precise: the top reacts immediately to your com-
mands
- More efficient: 90% of the energy absorbed is tran sfor-
med into heat.
Furthermore, once the pan has been removed from the
hob, heat transmission is stopped immediately, thereby
preventing the needless dispersion of heat.
The system also automatically recognises the various
diameters of all pans and uses a suitable power level for
each size.
This means that we are able to use pans of various sizes,
provided that the pan diameter is no more than 10%
larger - or 40% smaller - than the printed detail marked
on the hob (fig. 4B).
Caution: if you are using a pan with a diameter which is
more than 40% smaller than the printing marked on the
glass, the cooking zone may not be activated.
1.3 Cooking vessels fig.4
Cooking by induction uses magnetism to generate heat.
The vessels must therefore contain iron.
Check if the vessel material is magnetic using a mag-
net.

Important:

To prevent permanent damage to the cooker surface,
do not use:
- pans with bases that are not perfectly flat.
- metal pans with enamelled bases.
- Do not use pans with rough bases as they may scratch
the hob's surface

Safety precaution

This apparatus is not suitable for use by children or per-
sons who need supervision. Do not allow children to play
with the apparatus. Before using the induction cooker top
it is important to check that the apparatus is compatible
with anyone who has a pacemaker and active surgical
implants.
Before connecting the appliance to the electricity
supply:
- Check that the voltage and power values listed on the
data plate (positioned on the lower part of the appliance)
are compatible with the electricity supply and socket. If
you have any doubts, please consult a qualified electri-
cian for assistance.
Important
- metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons or lids
must not be placed on the cooker surface as they can
get hot.
- after use, switch the cooker off using the control device
and do not rely on the pan detector.
- avoid liquid spilling, therefore to boil or heat liquids re-
duce the heat supply.
- do not leave the heating elements switched on with empty
vessels or without vessels.
- when you have finished cooking, switch off the relative
resistance using the control indicated below.
- never use aluminium foil for cooking, or never place
products wrapped in aluminium foil onto the cooking
surface. The aluminium would melt and damage your
apparatus irreversibly.
- Never heat a tin or can of food without opening it – it could
explode! This warning applies to hobs of all types.
Attention: Steam cleaners must not be used.
Attention: If the surface is cracked, switch the ap paratus
off to prevent electric shocks
