Before using the appliance, we recommend you remove these with a special nonabrasive cleaning product. During the first few hours of use there may be a smell of rubber which will disappear very quickly. !A few seconds after the hob is connected to the Switching on the cooking zones Each cooking zone is controlled using a selector button and a power adjustment device consisting of power level selector buttons between the values of 0 and 9. • To begin operating a cooking zone, press the corresponding control button and set the desired power level using the power level selector buttons between 0 and 9. electricity supply, a buzzer will sound. 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 autoadjusted induction element; pot bottom layers made of different kinds of materials are among the main causes of this noise. 0 For 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. Buzzer This can also indicate several irregularities: • An object (a pan, cutlery, etc. ) has been placed on the control panel for more than 10 seconds. If the cause of the problem is not removed, the buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will switch off. GB 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. Use a magnet to test the compatibility of the cookware.

The following warnings are provided for safety reasons and must be read carefully. This appliance conforms to the following European Economic Community directives: - 2006/95/EEC dated 12/12/06 (Low Voltage) and subsequent amendments; - 2004/108/EEC dated 15/12/04 (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and subsequent amendments; - 93/68/EEC dated 22/07/93 and subsequent amendments. [. . . ] • For the attention of wearers of pacemakers or other active implants: The hob complies with all current standards on electromagnetic interference. Your induction hob is therefore perfectly in keeping with legal requirements (89/336/CEE directives). It is designed not to create interference on any other electrical apparatus being used on condition that the apparatus in question also complies with this legislation. To avoid any interference between your induction hob and a pacemaker, the latter must be designed to comply with relevant regulations. [. . . ]
