To activate the function, press the “+” button until “P” appears on the display. After 10 minutes’ use of the booster function, the appliance automatically sets the
zone to level 9.
“Power management” (Function where it is available)
Thanks to the “Power management” function, the user can set the maximum power the hob can reach, as required.
This setting is possible at any time and is maintained until the next change.
By setting the required maximum power, the hob automatically adjusts distribution in the various cooking zones, ensuring that this limit is never exceeded; with the
advantage of also being able to manage all the zones simultaneously, but without overload problems.
4 maximum power levels are available and showed on display: 2.5 – 4.0 – 6.0 – 7.2 kW (7.2 kW is considered as max power of cooktop)
At the time of purchase, the hob is set to maximum power
After plugging the appliance into the electrical socket, in the first 60 seconds it is possible to set the required power level by running the following points:
In case of an error when setting the power, the symbol appears in the middle and an acoustic signal sounds for about 5 seconds. In this case repeat the
configuration procedure from the beginning. If the error occurs again, contact the After-Sales Service.
During normal use, if the user tries to increase the maximum available power level when reached, the level of the zone in use flashes twice and an acoustic signal
sounds.
To obtain a higher power in that zone, it is necessary to manually decrease the power level of one or more already active cooking zones.

Activation/deactivation of the acoustic signal
After switching the hob on, press and hold the “-” of the first cooking zone and the external button on the right simultaneously for at least five seconds (“as shown
below”). .
Flexi cook
Where present, this function allows the cooking zone to be used as two separate zones or as a single extra large zone.
It is perfect for oval, rectangular and elongated pans (with maximum base dimensions of 38x23 cm) or more than one standard pan in the same time. In order to activate
the flexicook function, switch on the hob, press simultaneously the 2 selecting buttons of the zones as shown in the picture below: the two cooking zone displays show
level “0”; both dots next to the level number are lit, indicating that the Flexi cook is activated.
To change the power level (from 1 to max. 9 or P) press the -/+ buttons. To deactivate the Flexi cook function, press simultaneously the 2 selecting buttons of the zones.
To switch off the zones instantly, hold one of the zone selection button for 3 seconds.
The message “no pot” will appear on the display of the zone that is not able to detect any pot (because of missing pot, or misplaced or not suitable for
induction hob). This message remains active for 60 seconds: in this time you can add or slide pots within the flexicook area as you prefer.
After 60 seconds if no pan is placed on the zone, the system stops “searching” pots on that zone, the symbol remains visible on the display to remind that the zone
is disabled.
To reactivate the Flexicook function, press one of the 2 respective buttons
The Flexi cook function is also able to detect when a pot is moved from one zone to the other one within the flexi cook area keeping the same power level of the zone
where the pan originally was placed (see the example in the figure below: if the pot is moved from the front heater to the rear heater, the power level will be shown
on the display corresponding to the zone where the pot is placed).
It is also possible to operate the Flexi cook area as two independent cooking zones, using the corresponding button of the single zone. Place the pot in the center of the
single zone and adjust the power level with the slide touchscreen.
Important: make sure to place the pans centered on the cooking zone in the way to cover the center of the single cooking zone.
In case of big pot, oval, rectangular and elongated pans make sure to place the pans centered on the cooking zone.

If your glass has the iXeliumTM logo, your hob is equipped with iXeliumTM treatment. iXeliumTM is the exclusive Whirlpool finishing that guarantees a perfect clean and
a long-lasting brilliance. Therefore, if you have a IXELIUM hob, we strongly suggest to observe the following cleaning recommendations:
• Use a soft cloth (microfibre is best) dampened with water or with everyday glass cleaning detergent.
• If you want to enhance furtherly cleaning results, just let the glass in contact with a wet cloth for couple of minutes.
IMPORTANT: Do not use abrasive sponges or scouring pads. Their use could eventually ruin the glass.
• After each use, clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits and stains due to food residuals.
• Sugar or foods with a high sugar content damage the hob and must be immediately removed.
• Salt, sugar and sand could scratch the glass surface.
• Use a soft cloth, absorbent kitchen paper or a specific hob cleaner (follow the Manufacturer’s instructions).
• Liquid splillages on the cooking zones may make pan vibrate or move
• Dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning it.
• Read and follow the instructions given in the section “Instructions for use”.
• Check that the electricity supply has not been shut off.
• Dry the hob thoroughly after cleaning it.
• If, when the hob is switched on, alphanumeric codes appear on the display, consult the following table for instructions.
• If the hob cannot be switched off after using it, disconnect it from the power supply.
Induction hobs can make whistling or crackling sounds during normal operation, these actually come from the pots and pans as a result of the characteristics of the
bottoms (for example, bottoms made of several layers of material, or uneven bottoms). These noises vary depending on the pots and pans used and the amount of food
they contain, and are not indicative of a defect of any kind.
In addition, the induction hob is equipped with an internal cooling system to control the temperature of electronic parts; as a result, during operation and for several minutes
after the hob has been switched off, the noise of the cooling fan will be audible. This is perfectly normal and indeed essential for proper functioning of the appliance.
Before contacting the After-sales Service:
1. See if you can solve the problem yourself with the help of the “Troubleshooting guide”.
2. Switch the appliance off and then on again it to see if the problem has been eliminated.
If the problem persists after the above checks, contact the nearest After-Sales Service.
Always specify:
• a brief description of the fault;
• the product type and exact model;
• the Service number (the number after the word Service on the rating plate), located under the appliance (on the metal plate).
• your full address;
• your telephone number.
If any repairs are required, contact an
authorised After-Sales Service Centre
(to ensure the use of original spare parts and correct repairs). Spare parts are available for 10 years.
CLEANING
WARNING - Do not use steam cleaners.
- Before cleaning, make sure the cooking zones are switched off and that the residual heat indicator (“H”)
is not displayed.
