[. . . ] Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. € WARNING: Unattended cooking on a hob with fat or oil can be dangerous and may result in fire. € NEVER try to extinguish a fire with water, but switch off the appliance and then cover flame e. [. . . ] 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 auto-adjusted 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 or period of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power levels and timer minutes. + - Booster function* The booster function for some of the cooking zones may be used to shorten heating-up times. Changing the programme button repeatedly until the duration you 1. Use the buttons to set the new duration. The timer begins counting down immediately. When the time has elapsed, a buzzer will sound (for one minute). We especially recommend pans made from: cast iron, coated steel or special stainless steel adapted for induction. Use a magnet to test the compatibility of the cookware. SUITABLE UNSUITABLE Overheating protection If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches off automatically and 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. F 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. [. . . ] Exhausted appliances should be collected separately in order to optimise the cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner of their obligations regarding separated waste collection. For further information relating to the correct disposal of exhausted household appliances, owners may contact the public service provided or their local dealer. 12 Care and maintenance Switching the appliance off Disconnect your appliance from the electricity supply before carrying out any work on it.
