Introduction
This hob has been designed for the real lover of
cooking. Cooking on an induction hob has a number of
advantages. It is easy, because the hob reacts quickly
and can also be set to a very low power level. Because,
moreover, it can also be set to a high power level, it can
bring things to the boil very quickly. The ample space
between the cooking zones makes cooking comfortable.
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 which cooking zones are 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 that can assist you in using
this product. You will also find cooking tables and
maintenance tips.
Read the manual thorougly 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!

What you should pay attention to
• Induction cooking is extremely safe. Various safety
devices have been incorporated in the hob such as
a residual heat indicator and a cooking time limiter.
There are nevertheless a number of precautions you
should take.
Connection and repair
This appliance may only be connected by a qualified
installer.
• Never open the casing. The casing may only be
opened by the service technician.
• Disconnect the electricity from the appliance before
starting any repair work Preferably unplug the
appliance, switch the (automatic) fuse(s) offor, in the
event of a permanent connection, set the switch in the
power supply lead to zero.
During use
• Do not use the hob in temperatures below 5 °C.
• This cooking appliance is designed for household
use. It is to be used for food preparation only.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice
a “new smell”. This is normal. If the kitchen is well
ventilated the smell will soon disappear.
• Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting
the heating time will be incredibly short. Do not leave
the hob unattended if you are using a zone on a high
setting.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation while the hob is
in use. Keep all natural ventilation openings open.
• Do not allow pans to boil dry. The hob itself is
protected against overheating but the pan will get very
hot indeed and could be damaged. The guarantee
does not cover any damage caused by a pan boiling
dry.
• Do not use the cooking area as storage space.
• Ensure that there is several centimetres clearance
between the hob and the contents of the drawer.
• Do not keep anything combustible in the drawer
under the hob.
• Make sure that flexes of electrical appliances, such as
a mixer, cannot touch the hot cooking zone.
• The zones heat up during use and stay hot for a while
afterwards.
• Keep young children away from the hob during and
immediately after cooking.
• Grease and oil are inflammable when overheated. Do
not stand too close to the pan. Should oil catch fire,
never try to extinguish the fire with water. Put a lid on
the pan immediately and switch the cooking zone off.
• Never flambé food under the cooker hood. The high
flames could cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is
switched off.
• The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not
unbreakable. A spice jar or pointed utensil falling on
it, for example, could cause it to break.
• Stop using the hob if a break or crack appears. Switch
the appliance offimmediately, unplug it to avoid
electric shocks, and call the service department.
• Never put any metal objects such as baking trays,
biscuit tins, saucepan lids or cutlery on the cooking
zone. These can heat up extremely quickly and cause
burns.
• Keep magnetizable objects (credit cards, bank
cards, floppy disks, etc.) away from the appliance.
We advise anyone with a pacemaker to consult their
cardiologist before using an induction hob.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to
clean the hob.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the
cooking zone automatically stops. Accustom yourself
to stop the cooking zone or hob manually to avoid
unintended switching on of the induction hob.
• Never let an empty pan stand on a hotplate that is
switched on. While the hotplate is protected and will
switch itself off, the pan will be extremely hot. The pan
could be damaged.
• A small object like a pan that is too small (diameter
of bottom smaller than 12 cm), a fork or a knife will
not be recognised by the appliance. The display
continues to flash and the hob will not switch on.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote-control
system.
• Never let children play with this device. Children are
not to be allowed near the device unsupervised.
Temperature safety
• A sensor continuously measures the temperature
of certain parts of the hob. Every 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
automatically.
SAFETY

6
Cooking-time limiter
• The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your
cooking appliance. It will operate if you forget to
switch offyour hob.
• Depending on the setting you have chosen, the
cooking time will be limited as follows:
Setting The cooking zone switches
automatically offafter:
18,5hours
26,5hours
35hours
44hours
53,5hours
63hours
72,5hours
82hours
91,5hours
u2hours
U2hours
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 (P) 10 minutes

7
Using the touch controls
The touch controls may take some getting used to if you
are used to other (rotary) controls. Place the tip of your
finger flat on the control to achieve the best results. You
do not have to apply any pressure.
The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of
a fingertip. Do not operate the controls with any other
objects. The hob will not switch on when your pet walks
over it.
Induction cooking
Induction cooking is fast
• To start you will be surprised by the speed of
induction cooking. Especially at higher settings, foods
and liquids will boil very rapidly. It is best not to leave
pans unattended to avoid them boiling over or boiling
dry.
The power will be adjusted
• In the case of induction cooking, it is only the part of
the zone on which the pan stands that is used. If you
use a small pan on a large zone, the power will be
adjusted to the diameter of the pan. The power will
thus be lower and it will take longer before the food in
the pan comes to the boil.
No heat loss and cold handles with induction cooking.
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.
• Do not use the hob as a worktop. Always keep the lid
on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid energy
loss.
How does induction work
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.
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.
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 a bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing
food to the boil is very quick. Cooking food through takes
just as long as for other types of cooking.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do
not get any hotter than the pans themselves, food spills
cannot burn on.
USE

8
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.
Pans
Induction cooking requires a particular quality of 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)
–aflat base.
• The best are pans with the ‘Class Induction’ quality
mark.
Tip
You can check for yourself whether your pans are
suitable using a magnet. A pan is suitable if the base
of the pan is attracted by the magnet.
Suitable Unsuitable
Special stainless steel pans Earthenware
Class Induction Stainless steel
Hard-wearing enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
Plastic
Aluminium
Attention
Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans:
• the enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from
the steel), if you switch the hob on at a high setting
when the pan is (too) dry;
• the base of the pan may warp - due, for example, to
overheating or to the use of too high a power level.
Attention
• Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow
or rounded base can interfere with the operation of
the overheating protection, so that the appliance
becomes too hot. This may lead to the glass top
cracking and the pan base melting. Damage arising
from the use of unsuitable pans or from boiling dry
is excluded from the guarantee.
Minimum pan diameter
The diameter of a pan must be at least 12 cm. You will
achieve the best results by using a pan with the same
diameter as the zone. If a pan is too small the zone will
not work.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in pressure
cookers. The cooking zone reacts very quickly, and so
the pressure cooker is quickly up to pressure. As soon
as you switch a cooking zone off, the cooking process
stops immediately.

9
Switching on the hob and setting the power
The power has 9 settings. There is also a ‘boost’ setting,
which is indicated by a ‘P.’ in the display (see page 15
‘Boost’).
• Put a pan on a cooking zone.
• Touch the On/Offbutton.
You will hear a short bleep and the display for each
cooking zone will show ‘0.’. The red light to the right
above the On/Offbutton is constantly illuminated.
If no further action is taken, the cooking zone will
automatically switch offafter 10 seconds.
• Use the + button or the - button in the desired cooking
zone to choose the correct setting. The hob will
automatically start in the chosen setting (if it detects
a pan).
▷Touching the + button for the first time displays setting
‘4.’.
▷Touching the - button for the first time displays setting
‘9.’.
Tip
You can touch and hold the + or the - button to set the
desired power faster.
Pan detection
If the hob does not detect a (ferrous) pan after the
cooking power has been set, the pan detection symbol
and the selected power setting will flash alternately on
the display and the hob will remain cold. If a (ferrous)
pan is not placed on the cooking zone within 1 minute,
the cooking zone will automatically switch off(see also
page 11 and 12 ‘Pans’).
Residual warmth indicator
A cooking zone that has been used intensively will retain
heat for several minutes after it has been switched off.
An ‘H.’ appears in the display as long as the cooking
zone is hot.
Automatic heat-up function
The automatic heat-up function temporarily increases
the power (setting ‘9.’) to heat the contents of the pan
faster. This function is available in all settings except the
‘Boost’ setting and setting ‘9.’.
Switching on the automatic heat-up function
The hob is switched on and a pan has been placed in a
cooking zone.
• Use the + button in the desired cooking zone to select
setting ‘A.’ (comes after ‘9.’).
‘A.’ and ‘9.’ flash alternately in the display.
Tip
A quick way of setting ‘A.’ is by touching the - button
to set the cooking zone to ‘9.’ and then touching the +
button once for setting ‘A.’.
• Use the - or the + button to set the desired power. ‘4.’
and ‘A.’ will flash alternately in the display if you select
power setting 4. (Attention! After 10 seconds, the -
button works as an offbutton).

Cleaning
Tip
Set the child lock before you start cleaning the hob.
Daily cleaning
• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass,
we nevertheless recommend you to 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 teacloth.
Stubborn stains
• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild
cleaning agent such as washing-up liquid.
• Remove water marks and lime scale with vinegar.
• Metal marks (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult
to remove. Special agents are available.
• 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

17
General
If you notice a crack in the glass top (however small),
switch the hob offimmediately, unplug the hob, turn off
the (automatic) fuse switch(es) in the meter cupboard or,
in the event of a permanent connection, set the switch
in the power supply lead to zero.) Contact the service
department.
Troubleshooting table
If the appliance does not work properly, this does not
always mean that it is defective. Try to deal with the
problem yourself first by checking the points mentioned
below.
Symptom Possible cause Solution
Symbols (_.) appear in the displays
when the hob is activated for the first
time.
This is the standard set-up routine. Normal operation.
The fan runs on for several minutes after
the hob has been switched off.
The hob is cooling. Normal operation.
A slight smell is noticeable the first few
times the hob is used.
The new appliance is heating up. This is normal and will disappear
once it has been used a few times.
Ventilate the kitchen.
You can hear a ticking sound in your
hob.
This is caused by the capacity limiter
on the front and back zones. Ticking
can also occur at lower settings.
Normal operation.
The pans make a noise while 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.
You have switched on a cooking zone,
but the display keeps flashing.
The pan you are using is not suitable
for induction cooking. or has a
diameter of less than 12 cm.
Use a suitable pan, see page 11
and 12.
A cooking zone suddenly stops working
and you hear a signal.
The preset time has ended. Switch the bleep offby pressing any
key.
The hob is not working and nothing
appears in the display.
There is no power supply due
to a defective cable or a faulty
connection.
Check the fuses or the electric
switch (if there is no plug).
A fuse blows as soon as the hob is
switched on.
The hob has been wrongly
connected.
Check the electrical connections.
The hob simply switches off. You accidentally touched the On/Off
button or touched two buttons at the
same time.
Switch the hob back on.
Fault code ER22. The control panel is filthy or has
water on it.
Clean control panel.
Fault code E2. Fault code E2. Let the hob cool down and then use
a lower setting.

What you need to consider
Safety instructions for the installation
• The connection must comply with national and local
regulations.
• The appliance must always be earthed.
• This appliance may only be connected by a
competent electrical installer.
• For the connection, use an approved cable (for
example type HO7RR) in accordance with the
regulations. The cable casing should be of rubber.
• The connection cable must hang freely and is not to
be fed through a drawer.
• If you want to make a fixed connection, make sure
that a multi-polar switch with a contact separation of
at least 3 mm is fitted in the supply line.
• The worktop the hob is built into must be flat.
• The walls and the worktop surrounding the appliance
must be heat resistant up to at least 85 °C. Even
though the appliance itself does not get hot, the heat
of the hot pan could discolour or deform the wall.
• Damage caused by incorrect connection, installation
or use, will not be covered by the guarantee.
• If the connecting cable is damaged, it may only be
replaced by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s
service organisation or equivalently qualified
persons, in order to avoid dangerous situations.
Clearance
Sufficient all-round clearance is essential to the safe use
of the hob. Check that there is enough clearance.

If the hob is wider than the cupboard, with a worktop
less than 46 mm thick, saw a cut-out in both sides of
the cupboard, so the appliance is detached from the
cupboard.

x<46 mm: y = 46 mm - x x>= 46 mm: y = 0 mm
Ventilation
The electronics in the appliance need cooling. The
appliance will automatically switch offif there is insuffi
cient air circulation. There are ventilation openings on
the underside of the appliance.
It must be possible for cool air to be drawn in through
these openings. There are outlet openings on the
underside and at the front of the appliance.
INSTALLATION

Lower kitchen cabinet with a drawer
• An opening at least 140 mm high must be provided
on the back wall of the cabinet, along its entire width.
Furthermore, a minimum of 6 mm clearance must be
provided at the front side, along the entire width of the
cabinet.
• The hob is fitted with a fan located in its lower part.
In case there is a drawer underneath the kitchen
cabinet, no small objects or paper must be kept
there, as these could be sucked in by the fan, causing
damage to the fan or the entire cooling system.
Aluminum foil and inflammable substances or
liquids (e.g. sprays) should also not be stored in such
drawers or placed near the hob. Danger of explosion!
There should be a clearance of 20 mm between the
drawer contents and the fan entry slots.

The bridges on the connecting block can be used to
create the required connections, as indicated in these
illustrations.
Fix the cable with a pull relief and close the cover.
Connection point, wall-mounting socket and plug must
be accessible at all times.
Building in
Check that the cabinet and the cut-out meet the
dimension and ventilation requirement.
Threat the sawn ends of wooden or synthetic worktops
with sealing varnish if necessary, to prevent moisture
causing the worktop to swell.
Lay the hob upside down on the worktop.
Fit the connecting cable to the appliance in compliance
with requirements.
Remove the protective layer from the sealing tape and
apply the tape in the groove of the aluminium profile
or on the edge of the glass plate. Do not stick tape
round the corners, but cut 4 separate pieces to seal the
corners well.
