installed.
• Use the strain relief clamp on the cable.
• Make sure the mains cable or plug (if
applicable) does not touch the hot
appliance or hot cookware, when you
connect the appliance to a socket.
• Do not use multi-plug adapters and
extension cables.
• Make sure not to cause damage to the
mains plug (if applicable) or to the mains
cable. Contact our Authorised Service
Centre or an electrician to change a
damaged mains cable.

The flexible induction cooking area consists
of four sections. The sections can be
combined into two cooking zones with
different size, or into one large cooking area.
You choose the combination of the sections
by choosing the mode applicable to the size
of the cookware you want to use. There are
three modes: Standard (activated
automatically when you activate the hob), Big
Bridge and Max Bridge.
To set the heat setting use two left side
control bars.
Switching between the modes
To switch between the modes use sensor
field: .
When you switch between the modes the
heat setting is set back to 0.

6.5 PowerSlide function
This function allows you to adjust the
temperature by moving the cookware to a
different position on the induction cooking
area.
The function divides the induction cooking
area into three areas with different heat
settings. The hob detects the position of the
cookware and adjust the heat setting
corresponding with the position. You can
place the cookware in the front, middle or
rear position. If you place the cookware in the
front you get the highest heat setting. To
decrease it, move the cookware to middle or
rear position.

7. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
7.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones a strong
electro-magnetic field creates the heat in
the cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones with
suitable cookware.
Cookware material
•correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, multi-layer bottom (with a
correct marking from a manufacturer).
•not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction hob
if:
ENGLISH 17

• water boils very quickly on a zone set to
the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be as
thick and flat as possible.
Ensure pan bases are clean and dry
before placing on the hob surface.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware with
a diameter smaller than the minimum
receives only a part of the power generated
by the cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical data".
7.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use the cooking zone
with high power level and the cookware is
made of different materials (sandwich
construction).
• humming: you use high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer to
hob malfunction.
7.3 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the cooking
zone deactivates before the count down timer
sounds. The difference in the operation time
depends on the heat setting level and the
length of the cooking operation.
7.4 Examples of cooking
applications
The correlation between the heat setting of a
zone and its consumption of power is not
linear. When you increase the heat setting, it
is not proportional to the increase of the
consumption of power. It means that a
cooking zone with the medium heat setting
uses less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance only.
