Using multiple programmes and the display
If one or more hotplates are programmed, the display will show
the data for the hotplate with the least time remaining, and the
light corresponding to the position of the hotplate will flash. The
lights corresponding to the other hotplates programmed will be
switched on.
To display the time remaining for the other programmed hotplates,
press the
button repeatedly. The times remaining for each
hotplate will be shown in a clockwise order, beginning with the
front left hotplate.
Changing the programme

change is shown.
2. Use the
buttons to set the new duration.
3. Confirm by pressing the button.
To cancel a programme, follow the above instructions. At step 2,
press the
-----
button: the duration decreases progressively until it
reaches 0 and switches off. The programme resets and the
display exits programming mode.
Timer
The hob must be switched on.
The timer can be used to set a duration up to 99 minutes.

light is illuminated.
2. Set the desired duration using the
-----

3. Confirm by pressing the button.
The timer begins counting down immediately. When the time has
elapsed, a buzzer will sound (for one minute).
Control panel lock
When the hob is switched on, it is possible to lock the oven
controls in order to avoid accidental changes being made to the
settings (by children, during cleaning, etc.). Press the
button to lock the control panel: the indicator light above the
button will switch on.
To use any of the controls (e.g. to stop cooking), you must switch
off this function. Press the button for a few moments, the
indicator light will switch off and the lock function will be removed.
Switching off the hob
Press the button to switch the appliance off.
If the control panel lock has been activated, the controls will
continue to be locked even after the hob is switched on again. In
order to switch the hob on again, you must first remove the lock
function.
“Demo” mode
It is possible to set the hob to a demonstration mode where all
the controls work normally but the heating elements do not switch
on. To activate the “demo” mode the hob must be switched on,
with all the hotplates switched off.
• Press and hold the
+ ++ ++
and
-----
buttons simultaneously for 6
seconds. When the 6 seconds have elapsed, the ON/OFF and
CONTROLS LOCKED indicator lights will flash for one second.
Release the
+ ++ ++
and
-----
buttons and press the button;
• The display will show the text DE and MO and the hob will be
switched off.
• When the hob is switched on again it will be set to the “demo”
mode.
To exit this mode, follow the procedure described above. The
display will show the text DE and OF and the hob will be switched
off. When it is next switched on, the hob will function normally.
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.

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.
