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 responds quickly and can also be set to a very low power level.
As it can also be set to a high power level, it comes to the boiling point
very quickly. The distance 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 section on
pans gives more information about this.
For optimum safety, the induction hob is equipped with various
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 to assist you in using this product, as well
as cooking tables and maintenance tips.
First read the user instructions carefully and completely before
starting to use the appliance, and keep them safely for future
reference.
The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians.
That is why you should stick the appliance identification card supplied
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
questions.
Enjoy cooking on you new ASKO induction hob!

Read the separate safety instructions
before use.
Temperature safety
• Each cooking zone is equipped with a sensor. This sensor measures
the temperature of the base of the pan and the sections of the hob
to avoid any risk of overheating, for example, a pan boiling dry.
In case of temperatures rising too high, the power is reduced or
shut off automatically.
Cooking-time limiter
• If a cooking zone is on for an unusually long time, it will be switched
off automatically.
• Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be
limited as follows:
Cooking level The cooking zone switches off automatically
after:
1 6 hours
2 6 hours
3 5 hours
4 5 hours
5 4 hours
6 1.5 hours
7 1.5 hours
8 1.5 hours
9 1.5 hours
boost (P) 1.5 hours
The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off when the
above-stated time has elapsed.
SAFETY

EN 8
USE
Operation of the touch-sensitive buttons
If you are used to different controls, it can take time to get used to
operating the hob using the touch-sensitive buttons. For optimum
working, 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 switched 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.
Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will come to the
boiling point very rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to
avoid them from boiling over or boiling dry.
The power level adjusts itself
• In induction cooking, only the zone on which the pan is placed
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
boiling point.
Please note
• 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.
• To avoid energy loss, always keep the lid on the pan when cooking.
Switching of the power
A feature of this induction hob is the ‘power switching’ with settings
lower than 8. It seems as if a cooking zone switches on and off, but that
is not the case. The zone switches the power on and off continuously;
the zone remains on and at the indicated setting. The two small zones
switch to a lower level than the two large zones.
With induction cooking there
is no heat loss and handles
stay cool.

EN 9
USE
Please note
This switching is normal for this induction hob and cannot do any
damage. It is not a defect of your induction hob.
Induction sounds
Ticking sound
A light ticking sound is caused by the capacity limiter on the front and
back zones. A soft ticking sound can also occur at lower settings.
Pan makes sounds
The pan can make sounds during cooking. This is caused by the
energy flowing from the hob to the pan. This is normal for certain pans,
particularly at high settings. This is not harmful for the pans or the hob.
Ventilator makes sounds
In order to increase the lifespan of electronic components, the appliance
is fitted with a ventilator. If you use the appliance intensively, the ventilator
will be switched on and you will hear a humming sound. The ventilator
can also make sounds after you have switched off the appliance.
Pans
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular type of pan.
Please note
• 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 of a minimum of 2.25 mm;
▷a flat base.
• The best pans are those with the ‘Class Induction’ quality mark.
Tip
You can use a magnet to check whether your pans are suitable.
A pan is suitable if the base of the pan is attracted by the magnet.

EN 10
Suitable Unsuitable
Special stainless steel pans Earthenware
Class Induction Stainless steel
Solid enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
Plastic
Aluminium
Please note
Be careful with thin enamelled sheet steel pans:
• the enamel may become damaged at high settings if the pan is
too dry;
• high power level settings may cause the base of the pan to warp.
Please note
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can
interfere with the operation of the overheating protection, causing the
appliance to become too hot. This may lead to the glass top cracking
or the pan base melting. Damage caused by using unsuitable pans or
boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Minimum pan diameter
The minimum diameter for the pan base is 110 mm for 160 mm zones
and 145 mm for 200 mm zones. The best results are achieved by using
a pan with the same diameter as the cooking zone.
If a pan is too small the zone will not work.
Pressure cookers
Induction cooking is very suitable for pressure cookers.
The fast-reacting cooking zone brings the pressure cooker to pressure
quickly. As soon as you switch a cooking zone off, the dish stops
cooking immediately.

Power limitation cooking zones
model HI611G (for model HI7111G/HI16111G see page11)
• The two cooking zones one in front of the other affect each other.
When both of these cooking zones are switched on at the same
time, the power is shared automatically between them. Up until
setting 9, this has no consequences. However, if you want to set a
cooking zone to boost, the other cooking zone has to be switch to a
lower setting first.
• If a cooking zone is set to boost and you would like to set another
to 9 or boost, the cooking zone with boost will switch automatically
to a lower setting.
• Two zones next to each other will not influence each other.
You can set both cooking zones on boost setting.

EN 16

EN 17
Cleaning
Tip
Activate the child lock before cleaning the hob.
Daily cleaning
• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless
recommend you clean the hob immediately after use.
• For daily cleaning usage of a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent
is best.
• Dry off with kitchen paper or a dry tea towel.
Stubborn stains
• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent,
washing-up liquid, for example.
• Remove water circles and limescale with cleaning vinegar.
• Traces of metals (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove.
Special products are available for this.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar
are also best removed with a glass scraper.
Never use
• Never use abrasives. These leave scratches in which dirt and
limescale can accumulate.
• Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.
MAINTENANCE

EN 18
General
If you notice a crack in the glass top (however small), switch the hob
off immediately, unplug the hob, turn off the fuses or automatic fuses
in the meter cupboard or, in the event of a permanent connection, set
the switch in the power supply lead to zero. Then contact the Service
Department.
