COOKING ADVICES
PAN QUALITY
Adapted materials: steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, ferromagnetic stainless-steel, aluminium with
ferromagnetic bottom.
Not adapted materials: aluminium and stainless-steel without ferromagnetic bottom, cupper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
The manufacturers specify if their products are compatible induction.
To check if pans are compatibles:
• Put a little water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [ 9 ].This water must
heat in a few seconds.
• A magnet stucks on the bottom of the pan.
Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise doesn’t
mean any failure on the appliance and doesn’t influence the cooking operating.
PAN DIMENSIONS
The cooking zones are, until a certain limit, automatically adapted to the diameter of the pan.
However the bottom of this pan must have a minimum of diameter according to the corresponding
cooking zone.
To obtain the best efficiency of your hob, please place the pan well in the centre of the cooking zone.

FIRST TIME USE
Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which
risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Check the appliance for damage after unpacking it, and don’t connect the appliance if it has been
damaged in transport.
Only a licensed professional may connect the appliance – damage caused by incorrect installation is
not covered under the warranty.
Ensure that the panels of the cabinetry around the Appliance are heat resistant, and the glues and
materials can withstand temperatures of at least 90 degrees Celsius.
Remove all labels and adhesives from the ceramic glass prior to use. The ceramic glass cannot be used
as working surface, or chopping board or for anything other than cooking.
The appliance must be grounded and must not be controlled by a separate remote control system.
This appliance must not be used in close proximity to dishwasher or dryer, as steam can damage the
surface.
The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.
The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforced.
How to stick the gasket:
The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet.
This installation has to be done carefully, in conformity of the following drawing.
Stick the gasket (2) two millimetres from the
external edge of the glass, after removing the
protection sheet (3).

Fitting - installing:
• The cut out sizes are:
• Ensure that there is a distance of 50 mm between the hob and the wall or sides.
• The hobs are classified as “Y” class for heat protection. Ideally the hob should be installed with
plenty of space on either side. There may be a wall at the rear and tall units or a wall at one side.
On the other side, however, no unit or divider must stand higher than the hob.
• The piece of furniture or the support in which the hob is to be fitted, as well as the edges of
furniture, the laminate coatings and the glue used to fix them, must be able to resist temperatures
of up to 100 °C.
• The mural rods of edge must be heat-resisting.
• Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a dishwasher.
• To guarantee under the bottom of the hob casing a space of 20 mm to ensure a good air
circulation of the electronic device.
• If a drawer is placed under the work, avoid to put into this drawer flammable objects (for example:
sprays) or not heat-resistant objects.
• Materials which are often used to make worktops expand on contact with water. To protect the
cut out edge, apply a coat of varnish or special sealant. Particular care must be given to applying
the adhesive joint supplied with the hob to prevent any leakage into the supporting furniture. This
gasket guaranties a correct seal when used in conjunction with smooth work top surfaces.
