Start-up and use
! The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of
GB
grease on the glass. Before using the appliance, we
recommend you remove these with a special non-
abrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours
of use there may be a smell of rubber which will
disappear very quickly.
! A few seconds after the hob is connected to the
electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. The hob may
now be switched on.
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.
• Crackle: produced by the vibration of materials on
the bottom of the pot due to the flow of parasitic
currents caused by electromagnetic fields
(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. Furthermore, the fan may
continue to work even after switching the hob off, if the
temperature detected is high.
The types of noise listed above are due to induction
technology and are not necessarily operational faults.
Switching on the hob
To switch the hob on, press and hold the
approximately one second.
Switching on the cooking zones
To operate a cooking zone, select the button
corresponding to the desired zone and set the required
power level by pressing down on the slider and moving

it towards the right to increase the power level, or
towards the left to decrease the power level.
The min/med/max buttons can also be pressed directly
to select the pre-set power levels: min (1) / med (8) /
max (16), and to switch off the plate (see below).
MIN/MED/MAX functions
Press the MED button to switch on the cooking zone at
medium power level 8.
Press the MIN button to switch on the cooking zone at
minimum power level 1.
Press the MAX button to switch on the cooking zone at
maximum power level 16.
Booster function*
The booster function for some of the cooking zones may
be used to shorten heating-up times. It may be activated
by pressing the
above the button will illuminate. This function boosts
the power to 2000 W or 3000 W, depending on the size
of the corresponding cooking zone.
It 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.
Switching off the cooking zones
To switch off the hotplate, select the button
corresponding to the desired zone, moving the slider
towards the left to return to level 0, or press the Off
button on the slider control directly.
! The first time the slider is pressed, a short beep will
sound to acknowledge the touch. If - and only if - the
power level is adjusted, another short beep will sound
when the slider is released.
! The hotplate selection LEDs light up for the power
adjustment period (10 seconds), during which the
slider (or min/med/max buttons)* can influence the
selected hotplate.
Programming the cooking duration
! If the
extended period of time, the timer scrolls quickly
button for
through the minute values in the corresponding
direction.
! All the cooking zones may be programmed
simultaneously, for a duration between 1 and 99
minutes.
