In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:
•  Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully 

utilise the cooking zone.

•  Always use pans with a diameter which is large 

enough to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all 
the available heat.

•  Make sure that the base of the cookware is always 

clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the 
life of both the cooking zones and the cookware.

•  Avoid using the same cookware which has been 

used on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas 
burners may distort the base of the pan, causing it 
not to adhere correctly.

Safety devices

Pan sensor

Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor 
device. The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with 
suitable measurements for the cooking zone is placed 
on it. If the indicator light is flashing, it may indicate:
•  An incompatible pan
•  A pan whose diameter is too small
•  The pan has been removed from the hotplate.

Overheating protection

If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches 

off automatically and 

F

 appears on the display, 

followed by a flashing number. When the temperature 
has reached a suitable level, this message disappears 
and the hob may be used again.

Safety switch

The appliance has a safety switch which automatically 
switches the cooking zones off after they have been 
in operation for a certain amount of time at a particular 
power level. When the safety switch has been 
triggered, the display shows “0”.
For example: the right rear hotplate is set to 5 and will 
switch off after 5 hours of continuous operation, while 
the front left hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 
8 hours.

Buzzer

This can also indicate several irregularities:
•  An object (a pan, cutlery, etc.) has been placed on 

the control panel for more than 10 seconds.

•  Something has been spilt on the control panel.
•  A button has been pressed for too long. All of the 

above situations may cause the buzzer to sound. 
Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the 
buzzer. If the cause of the problem is not removed, 
the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will 
switch off.

! Do not use adapters, diffusers, or metal plates on the 
cooking zones .They may have a detrimental effect 
upon the hob’s performance, and might damage the 
hob’s aesthetics.
