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.

Control panel lock

When the hob is switched on, it is possible to lock the 
oven controls in order to avoid accidental changes 
being made to the settings (by children, during 

cleaning, etc.). Press the 

 button to lock the control 

panel: the indicator light above the button will switch 
on.
To use any of the controls (e.g. to stop cooking), you 

must switch off this function. Press the 

 button for a 

few moments, the indicator light will switch off and the 
lock function will be removed.

Switching off the hob

Press the 

 button to switch the appliance off.

If the control panel lock has been activated, the 
controls will continue to be locked even after the hob is 
switched on again. In order to switch the hob on again, 
you must first remove the lock function.
