[. . . ] Incorrect installation may cause harm to people and animals or may damage property. If the appliance is to be installed above an oven, the oven must be equipped with a forced ventilation cooling system. Avoid installing the hob above a dishwasher: if this cannot be avoided, place a waterproof separation device between the two appliances. Depending on the hob you want to install, the cabinet must have the following dimensions (see figure): Keep all packaging material out of the reach of children. [. . . ] 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. An 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. Urthermore, 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. Seconds: the cooking zone will immediately begin operating at its maximum power level (16). The booster function for some of the cooking zones may be used to shorten heating-up times. This function boosts the power to 2000 W or 3000 W, depending on the size of the corresponding cooking zone. 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. At step 2, press the button: the duration decreases progressively until it reaches 0 and switches off. When the hob is switched on again it will be set to the demo mode. To exit this mode, follow the procedure described above. When it is next switched on, the hob will function normally. The timer can be used to set a duration up to 99 minutes. Practical advice on using the appliance Use cookware made from materials which are compatible with the induction principle (ferromagnetic material). We especially recommend pans made from: cast iron, coated 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. Or example: the rear right-hand hotplate is set to 5 and will switch off after 7 and a half hours of continuous operation, while the front left-hand hotplate is set to 2 and will switch off after 9 and a half hours.

[. . . ] In this respect, we can only guarantee our own product conformity. Please consult the pacemaker manufacturer or your doctor concerning its conformity or any possible incompatibility. Do not let children play with the appliance. When disposing of packaging material: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused. [. . . ]
