Control Panel Description
Control panel
Switching the hob ON/OFF
To switch the hob on, press the button for approx. 2 seconds until the cooking zone displays light up. To switch off, press the same button until the displays switch
off. All the cooking zones are deactivated. If the hob has been in use, the residual heat indicator “H” remains lit until the cooking zones have cooled down.
If within 10 seconds of switching on, no function is selected, the hob switches off automatically.
Switching on and adjusting cooking zones
Place the pot on the cooking zone, switching the hob on, activate the required cooking zone by pressing the corresponding circular button “0” appears on the display.
With the Slider (if available) it is possible to select the required power level, from min. 0 to max. 9, or booster “P” if available. To increase the power level, slide your
finger on the slider from left to right several times; to decrease it, slide in the opposite direction. Alternatively the “+” and “-” quick access buttons can be used.
Deactivation of cooking zones
To switch off the cooking zone, press the corresponding button for more than 3 seconds.
The cooking zone switches off and, if still hot, the letter “H” appears on the zone display.
Control panel lock
This function locks the controls to prevent accidental activation of the hob. To activate the control panel lock, switch the hob on and press the Lock function button for three seconds;
an acoustic signal and a luminous indicator near the padlock symbol signal activation. The control panel is locked except for the switching off function. To deactivate the control
lock, repeat the activation procedure. The luminous dot goes off and the hob is active again.
The presence of water, liquid spilled from pots or any objects resting on the button below the symbol can accidentally activate or deactivate the control panel lock.

elapsed, an acoustic signal sounds and the cooking zone switches off automatically. To deactivate the timer, keep the Timer button pressed for at least 3 seconds.
To set the timer for another zone, repeat the above steps. The timer display always shows the timer for the selected zone or the shortest timer.
To modify or deactivate the timer, press the cooking zone selection button for the timer in question.
Control panel warnings
Special functions (If available)
Some models have special functions:
Automatic function
The function automatically sets a power level suitable for maintaining a low boil. Activate this function after bringing to the boil, pressing the corresponding zone
button first and then the button
.
Residual heat indicator.
The hob is fitted with a residual heat indicator for each cooking zone. These indicators alert the user when cooking zones are still hot.
If the display shows , the cooking zone is still hot. If the residual heat indicator of a given cooking zone is lit, that zone can be used, for example, to keep
a dish warm or to melt butter.
When the cooking zone cools down, the display goes off.
Incorrect or missing pot indicator.
If you are using a pot that is not suitable, not correctly positioned or not of the correct dimensions for your induction hob, the message “no pot” will
appear in the display (see figure at side). In these situations it is recommended to reposition the pot on the hob surface until you find the position of
operation. If no pot is detected within 60 seconds, the hob switches off.
Fast boil function (Booster where it is available)
This function, only present on some cooking zones, makes it possible to exploit the hob’s maximum power (for example to bring water to the boil very quickly).
To activate the function, press the “+” button until “P” appears on the display. After 5 minutes’ use of the booster function, the appliance automatically sets the zone
to level 9.
“Power management” (Function where it is available)
Thanks to the “Power management” function, the user can set the maximum power the hob can reach, as required.
This setting is possible at any time and is maintained until the next change.
By setting the required maximum power, the hob automatically adjusts distribution in the various cooking zones, ensuring that this limit is never exceeded; with the
advantage of also being able to manage all the zones simultaneously, but without overload problems.
4 maximum power levels are available and showed on display: 2.5 – 4.0 – 6.0 – 7.2 kW (7.2 kW is considered as max power of cooktop)
At the time of purchase, the hob is set to maximum power
After plugging the appliance into the electrical socket, in the first 60 seconds it is possible to set the required power level by running the following points:
In case of an error when setting the power, the symbol appears in the middle and an acoustic signal sounds for about 5 seconds. In this case repeat the
configuration procedure from the beginning. If the error occurs again, contact the After-Sales Service.
During normal use, if the user tries to increase the maximum available power level when reached, the level of the zone in use flashes twice and an acoustic signal
sounds.
To obtain a higher power in that zone, it is necessary to manually decrease the power level of one or more already active cooking zones.

Activation/deactivation of the acoustic signal (not available on slider version)
After switching the hob on, press and hold the “+” button and the outermost button on the right simultaneously for at least three seconds (“control panel lock”).
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads. Their use could eventually ruin the glass.
•After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits and stains due to food residuals.
•Sugar or foods with a high sugar content damage the hob and must be immediately removed.
•Salt, sugar and sand could scratch the glass surface.
•Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a specific hob cleaner (follow the Manufacturer’s instructions).
•Liquid spillages on the cooking zones may make pans vibrate or move.
•Read and follow the instructions given in the section “Instructions for use”.
•Check that the electricity supply has not been shut off.
•Dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning it.
•If, when the hob is switched on, alphanumeric codes appear on the display, consult the following table for instructions.
•If the hob cannot be switched off after using it, disconnect it from the power supply.
The induction cooktops can generate a set of noise and vibration during normal operation, depending on the type of material and the processing of the food, such as
those described below:
•Noise contact: this type of vibration is due to the use of pots made of different materials superimposed.
•Sounds click at mid-lower power: this noise is produced in order to achieve the low-mid power required.
•Sounds like rhythmic click: this noise is produced when operating several areas of cooking and / or high performance.
•Hissing weak: this noise is due to the type of container used and the quantity of food contained.
•Background noise: the induction cooker is equipped with a fan aimed at cooling the electronic components and for this reason during operation and also for a
few minutes after switching off the hob you hear the noise of the fan. Increase / decrease the cooking zones activated, the background noise of the fan may
increase or decrease.
These conditions are normal and essential for the proper functioning of the induction system, they are not indication of failure or damage.
