YOUR INDUCTION HOB
Introduction
This induction hob is designed for the true lover of cooking.
The cooking zone has a high capacity and responds fast and effectively.
The cooking zone is designed especially for the wok and does not only
heat the base of the pan, but also a large part of the pan itself, making
you experience maximum cooking comfort.
Cooking on an induction hob is different from cooking on a traditional
appliance. Induction cooking makes use of a magnetic field to generate
heat. This means that you cannot use just any pan on it. The pans
section gives more information about this.
For optimum safety the induction hob is equipped with several
temperature protections and a residual heat indicator, which shows that
the cooking zone is still hot.
This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the
induction hob. In addition to information about operation, you will also
find background information and maintenance tips that can assist you
in using this product.
Read the manual thoroughly before using the appliance, and store
these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians.
Please, therefore, stick the appliance identification card in
the space provided, at the back of the manual. The appliance
identification card contains all the information that the service
technician will need in order to respond appropriately to your needs and
questions.
Enjoy your cooking!

Before use, read the separate safety
instructions first!
Temperature safety
• The cooking zone is equipped with a sensor that measures
the temperature of the bottom of the pan to avoid any risk of
overheating when a pan boils dry. In case of temperatures rising too
high, the power is reduced or shut off automatically.
Cooking-time limiter
• The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking
appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch off your hob.
• Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be
limited as follows:
Setting The cooking zone switches
automatically off after:
1 and 2 9 hours
3, 4 and 5 5 hours
6, 7 and 8 4 hours
9 3 hours
10 2 hours
11 and 12 1 hour
• The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off if the time
in the table has elapsed.
Setting The cooking zone switches
automatically to setting 9 after:
boost 10 minutes
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

EN 7
Operation of the touch-sensitive buttons
The operation of the hob by means of the touch-sensitive buttons takes
a while getting used to when you’re used to a different operation. For
the best effect, place your finger tips flat on the buttons. You don’t have
to push hard.
The touch sensors have been set in such a way that they only react
to the pressure and size of finger tips. The hob can’t be operated with
other objects and won’t, for instance, be turned on if your pet walks
over the hob.
Induction cooking
Induction cooking is fast
• To start with you will be surprised by the speed of induction
cooking. Wokking on a high setting is especially fast. It is best not
to leave the pan unattended.
The power will be adjusted
With induction cooking, only that part of the cooking zone which is
in contact with the wok, is used. It is important to use the wok that is
included, as this wok is fully in contact with the cooking zone.
Suitable pans are available via the website ‘www.asko.com’.
Attention
• Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot be removed.
Only put pans with a clean base on the cooking surface and always
pick pans up to move them.
• Carefully place the pan on the cooking zone. When handling the
pan carelessly, the handle may hit and damage the glass.
• Do not shake the pan while on the cooking zone. This may cause
scratches on the glass, or the glass can get damaged by the
handle.
• Do not use the hob as a worktop.
USE

EN 8
How induction works
A magnetic field is generated in the appliance. By placing a pan with an
iron base on a cooking zone, a current is induced in the pan base. This
induced current generates heat in the base of the pan.
Easy
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the lowest
setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for example, or cook
ingredients that you would normally heat in au bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, the wokking goes very
fast.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zone does not get any
hotter than the pan itself, food spills cannot burn on.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any
warmer than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerable
cooler compared to that from a ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once a
pan has been taken away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
USE
The coil (1) in the hob (2)
generates a magnetic field (3).
By placing a pan with an iron
base (4) on the coil, a current is
induced in the base of the pan.

EN 9
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular quality of a pan.
Attention
•Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no
longer suitable for use on an induction hob.
•Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking
with:
▷a thick base (minimum 2.25 mm)
▷a spherical pan base that is fully in contact with the cooking
zone.
•The best are pans with the ‘Class Induction’ quality mark.
Suitable pans are available via the website ‘www.asko.com’.
Tip
Not all pans are suitable for induction cooking. Therefore it is important
to know whether the pan is of the appropriate material. With a magnet,
you can check if the pan is suitable. When the magnet is attracted to
the pan, the pan is suitable.
Attention
• Because of the high cooking oil temperature there is only one wok
pan suitable for stir-frying on this induction cooking ring. This is
the so-called Curie pan, which cannot be heated to a temperature
higher than 250 ˚C.
USE

EN 10
How to use the wok
• Carefully place the pan on the cooking zone. When handling the
pan carelessly, the handle may hit and damage the glass.
• Do not shake the pan while on the cooking zone. This may cause
scratches on the glass, or the glass can get damaged by the
handle.
Induction noises
A ticking sound
Ticking can also occur at lower settings.
Pans are making noise
Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the
energy flowing from the hob to the saucepan. At high settings this is
perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the pans or
the hob.
The fan is making noise
To enlarge the lifespan of the electronics, the appliance is equiped with
a fan. If you use the appliance intense, the fan is activated to cool down
the appliance and you will hear a buzzing sound. The fan runs on for
several minutes after the hob has been switched off.
Automatic power-on function
When the automatic power-on function (APD) is active, you will hear a
ticking noise, even if the zone is not being used.
USE

EN 11

Cleaning
Tip
Activate the childproof lock before you start cleaning the hob.
Daily cleaning
• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless
recommend you clean the hob immediately after use. Best for daily
cleaning is a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent.
• Dry with kitchen paper or a dry kitchen towel.
Stubborn stains
• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent
such as washing-up liquid. Special products are available for this
purpose.
• Remove water marks and lime scale with vinegar.
• Metal marks (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar
is also best removed with a glass scraper.
Never use
• Never use abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and lime
scale can accumulate.
• Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.
MAINTENANCE

EN 21
