[. . . ] • In case you notice cracks or fissures, turn off the appliance immediately, disconnect the power supply and contact Technical Support. • Do not use the hob as a support surface. 30 Use 3. 2 Preliminary operations In order to remove any moisture that could have accumulated during the manufacturing process and for the electronic circuits and control keypad to work properly: 1. Remove the protective films from the external surfaces of the appliance and accessories. Place a pan full of water on each of the front cooking zones and switch them on to the maximum power setting for at least 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, switch off the front cooking zones and repeat this operation for the rear cooking zones and any central cooking zone. If after carrying out the above operations the controls do not work properly, it might be necessary to extend the operations until the moisture has completely evaporated. 3. 3 Using the hob On first connection to the electrical mains, an automatic check will be carried out that will switch on all indicator lights for a few seconds. All the appliance’s control and monitoring devices are located together on the front panel. Cookware suitable for use in induction cooking Cookware used on the induction cooking surface must be made of metal, with magnetic properties and a sufficiently large base. • Cookware in multilayer stainless steel, ferritic stainless steel and aluminium with a special base. 31 EN Use Unsuitable cookware: • Copper, stainless steel, aluminium, fireproof glass, wood, ceramic and terracotta cookware. To see whether the pan is suitable, bring a magnet close to the bottom: if it is attracted, the pan is suitable for induction cooking. If you do not have a magnet, you can put a small amount of water in the pan, place it on a cooking zone and start the hot plate. If the symbol appears on the display, it means the pan is not suitable. Limiting the cooking duration The hob has an automatic device which limits the duration of use. If the cooking zone settings are not changed, the maximum duration of operation for each zone depends on the power level selected. When the device for limiting the duration of use is activated, the cooking zone turns off, a short alert sounds and, if the zone is hot, the symbol appears on the display. Set power level 1-2 3-4 5-6 7 8 9 Maximum cooking duration in hours 8 6 5 3 2 1½ Protection from overheating Use only cookware with a perfectly flat bottom which is suitable for induction hot plates. Using cookware with an irregular bottom could jeopardise the efficiency of the heating system and prevent cookware from being detected on the cooking zone. If the hob is used on full power for a long period, the electronics will have trouble cooling down if the room temperature is high. The selected power and the symbol will flash alternately on the display. The “maximum power” period will automatically be modified. If the heating accelerator has been set to 9, turn the knob anticlockwise. Booster function The booster function allows you to activate the cooking zone at maximum power as long as 5 minutes. It can be used to bring a large quantity of water to a boil rapidly or to broil meat.
