Start-up and use

!

 The glue applied on the gaskets leaves traces of 

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.

!

 If the 

-

 or 

+

 button is pressed for an extended 

period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the 
power levels and timer minutes.

Switching on the hob

To switch the hob on, press and hold the 

 button 

for approximately one second.

Switching on the cooking zones

Each cooking zone is controlled using a selector button 

 and a power adjustment device consisting of a 

double 

-

 and 

+

 button.

•  To begin operating a cooking zone, press the 

corresponding control button and set the desired 

power level (between 0 and 9) using the buttons 

-

and 

+

.

Power function

The power function for the cooking zones may be used 
to shorten heating-up times. Activate and set the power 

level for the desired cooking zone 

 as described 

in the previous paragraph. Press and hold the selector 

button corresponding to the desired cooking zone 

for at least 2 seconds. The display, the power level 
indicator, will alternately show the letter “P” and the 
power level set previously until the desired power level 
has been reached. Once this level has been reached, 
the display will revert to showing the set power level. 
To deactivate this function, press and hold – for at 
least 2 seconds - the selector button corresponding to 

the cooking zone on which the 

 function has been 

activated; alternatively, select a different power level 

using the buttons 

-

 and

.

Switching off the cooking zones

To switch off a cooking zone, select it using the 

corresponding selector button 

 and:

• Press the 

-

 button: the power of the cooking zone 

will progressively decrease until it is switched off.

Heating elements

Two types of heating element may be installed, 
depending on the appliance model: halogen and 
radiant elements.
Halogen elements emit heat via radiation from the 
halogen lamps they contain.
They have similar properties to gas burners: they are 
easy to control and reach set temperatures quickly, 
allowing you to see the power level instantly.
Radiant elements consist of a series of coils which 
allow heat to be distributed evenly at the base of 
the cookware, so that all slow-flame cooking may be 
performed successfully, for example stews, sauces or 
reheated dishes.

Programming the cooking duration

!

 All the cooking zones may be programmed 

simultaneously, for a duration between 1 and 99 
minutes.

1. Select the cooking zone using the corresponding 
selector button.
2. Adjust the power level of the cooking zone.

3. Press the 

 programming button. The indicator 

light corresponding to the selected zone will start 
flashing.

4. Set the cooking duration using the 

-

 and 

+

buttons.

5. Confirm by pressing the 

 button or automatic 

selection occurs after 10 seconds.
The timer begins counting down immediately. A buzzer 
sounds for approximately 1 minute and the cooking 
zone switches off when the set programme has 
finished. Repeat the above procedure for each hotplate 
you wish to programme.

Using multiple programmes and the display

If one or more hotplates are programmed, the display 
will show the data for the hotplate with the least time 
remaining, and the light corresponding to the position 
of the hotplate will flash.
