automatically and prevents
you from accidental
activation of the fan for the
next 30 seconds.
Operating the fan speed manually
You can also operate the function
manually. To do that press when the
hob is active. This deactivates automatic
operation of the function and allows you
to change the fan speed manually. When
you press you raise the fan speed by
one. When you reach an intensive level
and press again you will set fan
speed to 0 which deactivates the hood
fan. To start the fan again with fan speed
1 press .
To activate automatic
operation of the function,
deactivate the hob and
activate it again.
Activating the light
You can set the hob to activate the light
automatically whenever you activate the
hob. To do so set the automatic mode to
H1 – H6.
The light on the hood
deactivates 2 minutes after
deactivating the hob.

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.
• 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.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not
slide or rub the pot across the ceramic
glass.
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:
• water boils very quickly on a zone set
to the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
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.
• For both safety reasons and optimal
cooking results, do not use cookware
larger than indicated in "Cooking
zones specification". Avoid keeping
cookware close to the control panel
during the cooking session. This
might impact the functioning of the
control panel or accidentally activate
hob functions.
Refer to "Technical data".
7.2 The noises during
operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking
zone with a high power level and the
cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not
indicate any 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.

7.5 Hints and Tips for
Hob²Hood
When you operate the hob with the
function:
• Protect the hood panel from direct
sunlight.
• Do not spot halogen light on the hood
panel.
• Do not cover the hob control panel.
• Do not interrupt the signal between
the hob and the hood (e.g. with the
hand, a cookware handle or a tall
pot). See the picture.
The hood pictured below is for
illustration purpose only.
ENGLISH 19

Other remotely controlled
appliances may block the
signal. Do not use any such
appliances near to the hob
while Hob²Hood is on.
Cooker hoods with the Hob²Hood
function
To find the full range of cooker hoods
which work with this function refer to our
consumer website. The AEG cooker
hoods that work with this function must
have the symbol .
8. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
8.1 General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean
base.
• Scratches or dark stains on the
surface have no effect on how the hob
operates.
• Use a special cleaner suitable for the
surface of the hob.
• Use a special scraper for the glass.
The printing on the flexible
induction cooking area may
become dirty or change its
colour from sliding the
cookware. You can clean the
area in a standard way.
8.2 Cleaning the hob
•Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, salt, sugar and food with
sugar, otherwise, the dirt can cause
damage to the hob. Take care to
avoid burns. Use a special hob
scraper on the glass surface at an
acute angle and move the blade on
the surface.
•Remove when the hob is
sufficiently cool: limescale rings,
water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic
discoloration. Clean the hob with a
moist cloth and a non-abrasive
detergent. After cleaning, wipe the
hob dry with a soft cloth.
•Remove shiny metallic
discoloration: use a solution of water
with vinegar and clean the glass
surface with a cloth.
