The hob must be cleaned after each use. Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads. Their use, over time, may ruin the glass. Do not use chemical irritants, such as oven sprays or stain removers. After each use, leave the hob to cool and clean it to remove deposits and stains caused by food residue. Sugar or food with a high sugar content damage the hob and must be removed immediately. Salt, sugar and sand may scratch the glass surface. Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or products specifically for cleaning the hob. Do not use steam jet cleaners. If liquids accidentally or excessively leak out of the pots, the drain valve located on the lower part of the product can be opened so as to remove any residue and be able to clean in conditions of maximum hygiene. For cleaning, simply use a cloth moistened with neutral liquid detergents. Do not use cleaning tools or instruments. Avoid the use of products containing abrasive components and do not use alcohol.
The fan runs until the appliance has cooled down and then automatically turns off. Then if the temperature should still be high due to residual heat, the fan will turn on again briefly.

This function allows two cooking areas on the same side to work together, turning them into one, larger sized area. It provides the same power level and constant temperature for even cooking with large pans and pots.
Pans must be marked with the specific symbol for induction cooking. We strongly recommend pans with complete magnetic steel bases and not ones with a perforated base because they are conductive in part. It is advisable to use pans with a flat, smooth and even base.
An oven can be installed under the induction cooktop.
Generally speaking, you cannot because these materials are not magnetic. Test the base of the pan with a magnet to see if it is conductive. Cookware is not suitable if it is not magnetically detectable. If the bottom does not contain aluminum, the cookware will not heat up and may also not be detected by the inductors.
Yes, it does. The product automatically detects the presence of pots on the cooking areas and only activates if one is present.
First, check the installation manual to see if it is a problem that you can solve on your own (Troubleshooting section). If not, contact your local service partner indicated at this link or Contact us and communicate the error code.
To prevent scratches on the induction hob surface we recommend AVOIDING the use of containers with uneven, enamel or rough bottoms. Furthermore, after every use let the hob cool and, only after, clean it to remove stuck-on foods and stains left by food residues. Sugar, salt or foods with high sugar content may damage the hob surface and should be removed immediately. Remove them with a soft cloth, absorbent paper towels or specific products for hob cleaning.
To replace a gas hob with an induction hob, we recommend contacting a specialized shop that will design an installation project based on your needs. Find your nearest retailer at the following link: Distribution | Elica.
If the newly installed product is making an abnormal noise, we suggest contacting the person who installed it. The cause may be due to non-suitable piping (size, type, length, taping) or non-compliance with the instructions specified in the user manual.
Consumption depends on various factors: the power consumption in KW set, if the power limitation feature has been activated; the number of hot-plates being used at one time; the power level set for each plate; type of cooking and utensils used. The information relating to consumption and energy saving is given in the use and maintenance manual and in the technical features of each product, as well. It is possible to set an energy absorption limiter using the Power Limitation function. Check the booklet of the induction cooktop with integrated hood to find out how much power absorption can be limited to. Activation can also be done once the induction cooktop with integrated hood is installed by following the procedure given in the booklet. The power limiter limits the total power absorption of the cooktop. By setting a higher value, the hob automatically reduces the value on the first plate activated.
Some crackling/buzzing type noises can be heard during the operation of the cooktop; they are related to the operation of the induction system and the material of the cookware.
In the induction cooktop after removing the pan, the letter H (Hot) indicates that the cooking zone is hotter than 60°C. When the temperature drops below this value,the signal will automatically turn off.
An induction cooktop works by means of an electromagnetic field that emits heat directly to the bottom of the cookware when it is placed on the cooktop. For this type of cooking, the pan must be made of the appropriate material, i.e., enameled iron, or cast iron, or stainless steel, or thick-based aluminum. With pans made of other materials such as ceramic, copper, earthenware, Pyrex glass, stainless steel only, or aluminum only, induction will not work.
