STARTING-UP AND APPLIANCE MANAGEMENT
Before Using Your New Induction Hob
- Clean your hob with a damp cloth, and then dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent, as
this risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
How Induction Works
An induction coil is located under each heating zone. When it is engaged, it produces a variable electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic bottom plate of the pan. As a result, the pan will heat up.
Of course the pan has to be adapted: - All ferromagnetic pans are recomended (please verify it thanks a little magnet): cast iron and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bottoms…
- Are excluded: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware,…
- The induction heating zone is able to automatically detect the size of a pan. If the base diameter of the pan is too small and therefore fails to adapt to the induction hob, the display will show [ U ].
Touch Control
Your induction hob is equipped with electronic controls with touch control keys. When your finger presses the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated by a control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound.
For general use, ensure only one button is pressed at any time.
Power selection zone “SLIDER” and timer setting zone
To select the power with the slider, slide your finger on the “SLIDER” zone. You can also select the power by placing your finger directly on the chosen level.
Pan detection
The pan a feature ensures safety. The induction doesn’t work:
- If there is no pan on the heating zone or if the pan is not adapted to the induction. In this case, it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol disappears when a suitable pan is put on the heating zone.
- If the pan is removed from the heating zone the operation is stopped. The display shows [ U ]. The symbol [ U ] disappears when the pan is put back to the heating zone. The cooking continues with the power level set before.
After use, switch the heat element off: don’t let the pan detection [ U ] active.
Residual heat indication
After a heating zone or the entire hob is switched off, the heating zones are still hot and indicate [ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the heating zones may be touched without danger.
While the residual heat indicator light is on, don’t touch the heating zones and don’t put any heat sensitive object on them. There are risks of burn and fire.

COOKING ADVICE
Adapted materials: steel, enamelled steel, cast iron, ferromagnetic stainless-steel,
aluminium with ferromagnetic bottom.
Non-adapted materials: aluminium and stainless-steel without ferromagnetic bottom,
copper, brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Look for the induction symbol on the packaging or on the bottom of the pan.
To check if pans are compatible:
- Put some water in a pan placed on an induction heating zone set at level [ 9 ]. If [ U ] does not appear and the water is heating, the pan is suitable.
- Move a magnet towards the base of the pan. If it is attracted and sticks to the pan, the pan is suitable.
Certain pans can make noise when they are placed on an induction cooking zone. This noise is normal and does not affect the cooking operation, nor does it mean a failure in the appliance.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a curved base.
To avoid scratching the glass, always lift pans off the hob – do not slide.
Pan dimension
The cooking zones are, up to a 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 (see table on page 9 for the minimum pan diameter for each cooking zone).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The installation comes under the exclusive responsibility of specialists.
The installer is held to respect the legislation and the standards enforced in their country.
How to stick the gasket:
The gasket supplied with the hob avoids all infiltration of liquids in the cabinet. Installation has to be done carefully, in conformity with the following drawing.
Stick the gasket (2) two millimeters from the external edge of the glass, after removing the protection sheet (3).
Fitting – installing:
- The cut-out sizes and flush mounting:
Glass Cut size Rear Side Radius Cut size Deep
A1 B1 C D E F H A2 B2 G
520 880 490 810 50 40 8 526 886 5
Ensure that there is a distance of 50mm 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 wall or splashback behind the hob must be heat-resisting.
- Not to install the hob to the top of a not ventilated oven or a
- There must be a space of 20mm beneath the bottom of the hob casing to ensure a good air circulation of the electronic device. (See page 21 for full ventilation information).
- If a drawer is placed under the worktop, avoid placing 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
- The safety gap between the hob and the cooker hood placed above must respect the
indications of the hood manufacturer. In case of absence of instructions, use a minimum
distance of 600mm.
After installation, make sure the connection cord is not being constrained e.g. by the
drawer.
WARNING: Only use hob guards designed by the manufacturer, indicated as suitable in
the manufacturer’s instructions for the appliance, or those that have been incorporated into
the appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents
Ventilation requirements
To ensure adequate ventilation of your induction hob, please ensure the installation requirements shown in this diagram are followed.A 5mm gap at the front of the unit must be left, and a minimum 10mm gap must be cut out at the back of the cabinet to allow air to circulate.
A minimum distance of 20mm must be left between the underside of the hob and the appliance directly below. If a drawer is intalled below the hob, a minimum distance of 40mm must be left between the underside of the hob, and the contents of the drawer.
Over filling the drawer may effect the airflow. If the drawer is overfilled or the ventilation requirements not followed, this will void the guarantee
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
- The installation of this appliance and the connection to the electrical network should only be carried out by a qualified
- When installing, make sure no part of the hob is under stress or
- Necessary Connection data is placed on the hob casing near the connection
- Connection to the mains must be made using an earthed plug or via an omnipolar circuit breaking device with a contact opening of at least
- The electrical circuit must be separated from the network by adapted devices, for example: circuit breakers, fuses or
- If the appliance is not fitted with an accessible plug, disconnecting means must be incorporated in the fixed installation, in accordance with the installation
- The inlet hose must be positioned so that it does not touch any of the hot parts of the hob or
Caution!
This appliance has only to be connected to a network 230 V~ 50/60 Hz. Always connect the Earth Wire.

* calculated with the simultaneous factor following the standard EN 60 335-2-6
Connection of the hob
Setting up the configurations:
For the various kinds of connection, use the brass bridges which are in the box next the terminal. Monophase 230V~1P+N
Put the bridge between terminal 1 and 2.
Attach the earth to the terminal “earth”, the neutral N to terminal 4, the Phase L to one of the terminals 1 or 2.
Biphase 400V~2P+N
Attach the earth to the terminal “earth”, the neutral N to terminal 4, the Phase L1 to the terminal 1 and the Phase L2 to the terminal 2.
Caution!
Fequent loosening and screwing of the screws on the connection box risks damaging the efficiency of the tightness once screwed. It is therefore advisable to keep screwing and unscrewing to a minimum.
Ensure that the cables are correctly inserted and tightly screwed down.
4 weeks after installation, a check should be made to ensure the electrical cables are still connected tightly and tightened further if necessary.
