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.
A blinking pan recognition indicator could signal:
•that the pan is made of unsuitable material, which is not ferromagnetic,
•that the diameter of the pan is too small,
•that the pan has been removed.
Always match the diameter of the pan with that of the cooking zones.
Warning: oval cooking zones
Oval cooking zones can only be boosted if the full oval is enabled.
Do not place two small saucepans on oval cooking zones.
What cookware to use
Given that induction only exists when the magnetic field is sealed by a metallic recipient, the pan stops being heated as soon as it is taken off the cooking zone.
Use cookware made of material which is
compatible with induction (ferromagnetic material).
Cast iron, enamelled steel or special induction stainless steel saucepans are ideal.
Copper, ceramic, earthenware, glass, terracotta, aluminium and non magnetic stainless steel cookware is incompatible with induction cooking.
The easiest way to find out whether the pan is
suitable is with a magnet. If the magnet is attracted by the pan bottom and stays “stuck” to the same, the pan is made of ferromagnetic material and can be used on your induction hob.
We recommend you use pans with a very flat and thick bottom and avoid at all costs all cookware with irregular rough bases which could scratch the glass surface.

Acoustic signal
Anomalies such as: | GB |
|
•an object (such as a saucepan or a lid, etc.) placed for more than 10 seconds on the control zone,
•
•prolonged pressure on a key,...could cause a beep to sound and the hob to turn off.
To stop the beep from sounding, remove the cause of the malfunction.
To use the hob, turn it back on and
Safety cut out
Your appliance is fitted with a safety cut out which intervenes after a certain amount of time (see table) depending on the power setting. When the safety cut out has intervened, the power display indicates “0”.
for example: the back right cooking zone is set to 5 and the front left zone is set to 2. The back right zone will turn off after 4 hours of operation and the front left zone will turn off after 6 hours of operation.
To unlock the controls, turn the hob off by pressing the 
key.

Overheating protection device
Should your appliance’s electronic components overheat, the hob will turn off automatically and “a” will come up on the power level display.
The letter will disappear as soon as the temperature drops back down to an acceptable level.
