- The inner fan activates to cool the elec- tronic area.
-The power level assigned to the cooking area is adjusted.
-The relevant cooking area is switched off.
The internal fan is automatically enabled and disabled, depending on the tempera- ture of the electronic system. Therefore, the fan may continue to work for a few minutes to cool the electronics if you switch the cooker off when the fan is swit- ched on.
If an induction cooking area were to switch off due to overheating, when restarted, the power level selected would be
Power surges
Touch controls can withstand a certain degree of power surges in the electricity supply. Abnormally high power surges can cause the control system to malfunction (as with any type of electrical appliance).
Suggestions and recommendations
To ensure maximum performance from your hob, follow these guidelines:
*Use pans with a flat base, as the greater the surface contact between the pan and the glass, the greater will be the heat transmission. We recommend the use of heavy pans so that the base is more difficult to dent. Figure 9 shows how pans that are dented or concave have a smaller contact surface.
*With radiant hotplates, it is recommen- ded that you do not use pans with a dia- meter which is less than the diameter of the heating area that is shown, or the

energy issued by the part outside the pan will be wasted.
*Make sure that the pans are well cen- tred on the outlines shown on the hea- ting area.
*Dry the pans’ bases before putting them on the glass ceramic hob.
*Do not leave any plastic object or uten- sil, or any aluminium foil, lying on the glass ceramic hob.
*Do not drag pans with corners or edges that could damage the glass.
*Do not use the radiant hotplates without a pan on the area that is switched on.
*Do not cook with plastic pans.
*Pans should be made of a material which is
*The glass will tolerate bangs from big pans that do not have sharp edges. Be careful with impacts from small, sharp instruments.
*Avoid spilling sugar, or products contai- ning sugar, on the glass, since these may react with the hot glass and dama- ge the surface.
When you cannot turn off a hot- plate because a cream, a soup or something similar has boiled over, soak a cloth in water and wipe it over the touch control, cleaning off the food, and keep the cloth on the On/Off sensor so that the touch control disconnects.
The induction generator complies with the applicable european stan- dards. Nevertheless, we recommend
