Care should be taken to avoid touching heating elements. Children less than 8 years of age shall be kept away unless continuously supervised. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. [. . . ] 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 Switching on the hob To switch the hob on, press and hold the approximately one second. button for GB 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 supply, a buzzer will sound. 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 autoadjusted 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. !If the - + + . - and Booster function* The booster function for some of the cooking zones may be used to shorten heating-up times. The indicator light directly 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 relevant cooking zone. The booster 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. Booster Switching off the cooking zones To switch off a cooking zone, select it using the corresponding selector button or button is pressed for an extended period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power levels and timer minutes. - + • Press the button: the power of the cooking zone will progressively decrease until it is switched off. - and: Programming the cooking duration ! [. . . ] • Turn the SELECTOR knob to the “0” position. If the oven is too hot, the pyrolytic cycle may not start. The programme may only be started once the oven door has been closed. To obtain the best results from the pyrolysis cycle, we recommend that you do not use the hob while the process is being carried out. [. . . ]
