[. . . ] The appliance must be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with the instructions provided. 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. [. . . ] 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. Of time, the display scrolls quickly though the power levels and timer minutes. Each cooking zone is controlled using a selector button and a power adjustment device consisting of a double To begin operating a cooking zone, press the corresponding control button and set the desired power level (between 0 and 9) using the buttons 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. To switch off a cooking zone, select it using the corresponding selector button · All the cooking zones may be programmed simultaneously, for a duration between 1 and 99 minutes. When it is next switched on, the hob will function normally. 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 steel or special stainless steel adapted for induction. When the temperature has reached a suitable level, this message disappears and the hob may be used again. Residual heat indicators Each cooking zone is equipped with a residual heat indicator. This indicator signals which cooking zones are , still at a high temperature. If the power display shows the cooking zone is still hot. It is possible, for example, to keep a dish warm or melt butter or chocolate. The cooking zone cools, the power display will show display switches off when the cooking zone has cooled sufficiently. 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. [. . . ] To avoid any interference between your induction hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply with relevant regulations. 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. [. . . ]
