Residual heat indicator
1Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cook-
ing zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator .
3Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.
The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly in
the base of the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the residual
heat of the cookware.
The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of
the electronics.

11Operating the appliance
Switching the power function on and off
The power function makes additional power available to the front induction
cooking zones, e.g. to bring a large volume of water to the boil.
The power function is activated for 8 minutes for the front left cooking zone
and for 5 minutes for the front right cooking zone. After these times, the induc-
tion cooking zones automatically return to cooking level .
3If the power function has ended, the cooking zones automatically switch back to
the heat setting set previously.
Power Management
The cooking zones of the cooking surface
have a maximum power available to them.
Two cooking zones make up a pair (see fig-
ure).
So that the Power function can always be
carried out, Power Management may re-
duce the power of the other cooking zone
in the pair
Example: heat setting 9 is selected on a
cooking zone. The Power function is
switched on for the cooking zone paired up
with it. The Power function is performed,
but heat setting 9 on one cooking zone and Power function on the other cook-
ing zone of a pair exceeds the maximum output for both. Therefore Power Man-
agement reduces the first cooking zone that was switched on from 9 to 7, for
example, and the display for this cooking zone alternates between 9 and 7 and
then remains on the current maximum of 7. (Whether the display alternates be-
tween 9 and 7 or 9 and 6 or other values, depends on the appliance type and the
size of the cooking zone.)

Operating the appliance12
Using the timer
All cooking zones can each use one of the two timer functions at the same time.
3If a cooking zone is switched off, the timer function set is also switched off.
3If a heat setting is set on this cooking zone in addition to a countdown timer,
the cooking zone is switched off after the time set has elapsed.
Selecting a cooking zone
3The heat setting indicator of the selected cooking zone goes out, as long as the
timer time can be set.
3If the pilot light is flashing more slowly, the heat setting indicator appears again
and the heat setting can be re-set or modified.
3If other timer functions are set, after a few seconds the shortest remaining time
of all the timer functions is displayed and the corresponding pilot light flashes.

15Tips on Cooking and Frying
Tips on Cooking and Frying
3Information on acrylamides
According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, espe-
cially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acryla-
mides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures
and not browning foods too much.
Cookware for induction cooking zones
Cookware material
3Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the manufactur-
er.
Suitability test
Cookware is suitable for induction cooking, if …
•... a little water on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 is heated
within a short time.
•... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.
3Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cooking zones.
These noises are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in any
way.
Cookware material Suitable
Steel, enamelled steel yes
Cast iron yes
Stainless steel if appropriately labelled by the manufacturer
Aluminium, copper, brass ---
Glass, ceramic, porcelain ---

Tips on Cooking and Frying16
Bottom of the cookware
The bottom of the cookware should be as thick and flat as possible.
Pan size
Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the bottom of the
cookware up to a certain point. However the magnetic part of the bottom of the
cookware must have a minimum diameter depending on the size of the cooking
zone.
3The cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone.
Tips on energy saving
2Place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.
2If possible, always place a lid on the cookware.
