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.

In addition, to obtain the best results from your hob:
• Use pans with a thick, flat base in order to fully utilise
the cooking zone.
• Always use pans with a diameter which is large enough
to cover the hotplate fully, in order to use all the
available heat.
• Make sure that the base of the cookware is always
clean and dry, in order to fully utilise and extend the life
of both the cooking zones and the cookware.
• Avoid using the same cookware which has been used
on gas burners: the heat concentration on gas burners
may distort the base of the pan, causing it not to
adhere correctly.
Safety devices
Pan sensor
Each cooking zone is equipped with a pan sensor
device. The hotplate only emits heat when a pan with
suitable measurements for the cooking zone is placed
on it. If the power level indicator display flashes, this
may be because:
• An incompatible pan
• A pan whose diameter is too small
• The pan has been removed from the hotplate.
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. As the cooking zone cools, the
power display will show
. The display switches off
when the cooking zone has cooled sufficiently.
Overheating protection
If the electronic elements overheat, the hob switches off
automatically and
F appears on the display, followed by a
flashing number. 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 “
00
00
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.
• Something has been spilt on the control panel.
• A button has been pressed for too long. All of the
above situations may cause the buzzer to sound.
Remove the cause of the malfunction to stop the
buzzer. If the cause of the problem is not removed, the
buzzer will keep sounding and the hob will switch off.
