steel if the bottom indicates: for induction;
• cast iron containers, better with an enamelled bottom to avoid
scratching the ceramic glass hob;
• containers made of glass, ceramic, terracotta, aluminium,
copper or non-magnetic stainless steel (austenitic) are not
recommended and are unsuitable.

Maintenance (Fig. 5)
Traces of foil, food residues, splashes of fat, sugar or very sugary
foods must be removed immediately from the hob using a scraper
to avoid damaging the hob surface.
Then clean with SIDOL or STANFIX and kitchen paper, rinse with
water and dry with a clean cloth.
Never use abrasive sponges or clothes and avoid using aggressive
chemical cleansers such as OVEN SPRAYS or STAIN REMOVERS.
DO NOT USE STEAM CLEANERS
Turning the cooking surface on and off
The cooking surface is turned on by pressing the "centre" On/Off
button (1), you will hear a short beep and the 5 seven-segment
displays light up showing "0".
If a cooking zone is "hot", the display will alternate between "H"
and "0".
After switching on, the touch control remains active for 10 seconds.
If you do not select either a cooking zone or the times, the touch
control automatically returns to stand-by mode.
Acoustic signal (buzzer)
During use, the following activities are signalled by a buzzer:
• Normal pressing of the buttons with a short beep.
• Holding down buttons for more than 10 seconds with a long
intermittent sound (an error symbol is displayed and, if you
continue, the touch control is turned off)

Turning on a cooking area
Position a pot and touch an area of the cursor for the cooking area
where the pot is (9-10-11), slide your finger to the right to increase
the cooking level (10), or slide your finger to the left to decrease
it (9).
Turning off a cooking area
A single cooking area can be turned off directly by selecting the
"0" position by sliding your finger to the left in the cursor area for
the cooking area that is working.
Hot cooking areas will be displayed with a letter "H".
You can turn off all cooking areas immediately at any time using the
power On/Off button (1).
If, during cooking, you inadvertently turn off the surface while using
the controls, you can turn it on again with the On/Off button and
you will have 6 seconds to press the pause button (4) that will be
indicated by the (3) flashing of an indicator light above the button;
doing so will turn the surface on again with the same settings it had
before it was accidentally turned off.
Power level
The power level of the cooking area can be set from level 1 to level
9. A further level P (Power Booster) is available that allows a very
rapid heating of food and, therefore, saves you time.
The power level represented by an intermittent letter "A" is the
activation of the automatic heating function.
Booster and power management
The generator, with Booster enabled, provides the cooking area
power that is significantly higher than the rated power; the display
of the selected cooking area shows a "P". The Booster function can
be activated by pressing at the end of the cursor of the cooking
area (11).
The power increase is different depending on the size of the
cooking area:
For a rectangular cooking area (220x190), the power goes from
a level 9 of 2100 W to the Booster level of 3000 W for 5 minutes.
For safety reasons, the Booster function has a limited duration.
If during pot is removed from the cooking area during the Booster
time, the Booster remains active and the Booster time is not
deactivated.
With the Booster activated, changing the value set with your finger
in the cursor area deactivates the Booster.
The Booster function "P" can be activated in all cooking areas, but
priority is given to the last Booster activated, reducing any other
cooking levels.
Automatic preheating (or "heat-up"
function)
This feature makes cooking easier. You do not need to be
permanently present during cooking: the surface automatically
heats up at Full Power and then returns to the selected power level
after a certain time (see Table 1).
