Cooking zone description Induction is the fastest cooking method available. Unlike traditional cooking zones, the induction zone does not heat up the glass surface. The pan itself is the heating element: the pan evenly transfers heat to its contents as long as it is made of ferromagnetic material.

Just press the key, the indicator light next to the key lights up and the controls are locked. To change the power level setting or stop cooking, the controls have to be unlocked: press the key, the indicator light turns off and the controls are unlocked.
The safety devices Pan recognition Each induction cooking zone is fitted with a pan recognition device. The cooking zone only provides heat in the presence of a pan which is suitable for the cooking zone. Acoustic signal Anomalies such as: • an object (such as a saucepan or a lid, etc.) placed for more than 10 seconds on the control zone, • boiled-over liquids or food spilled on the control zone, • prolonged pressure on a key,... could cause a beep to sound and the hob to turn off.
Maintenance and care Hob care The vitroceramic glass used for the heating surface is smooth and poreless and it is also resistant to thermal shocks and to mechanical shocks under normal conditions of use. In order to preserve these properties, we recommend you care for your hob as follows: • for ordinary maintenance, just wipe it with a damp sponge and dry it thoroughly using paper towels. • If the hob is dirty, rub clean using a special cleaner suitable for vitroceramic glass, rinse off and dry thoroughly.
