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 it can also be set to a high power level, it can bring dishes to
the boil very quickly. The ample space between the cooking zones also
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 separate safety instructions before
using the device!
Read the user instructions carefully and completely before starting
to use the appliance, and keep them carefully 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 questions.
Enjoy your cooking!

USE
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 press 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 the appliance.
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.
Note
• Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot be removed.
Therefore 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.
No heat loss and the
handles remain cold with
induction cooking.

EN 8
USE
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.
Quick
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.
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 considerably
cooler compared to that of a ceramic hob or a gas burner.
Once a pan has been taken away, the cooking zone cools down
quickly.
Induction noises
Ticking noise
A light ticking noise is caused by the capacity limiter on the front and
back zones. Ticking can also occur at lower settings.
Pan makes a noise
The pans may make a noise during cooking. This is caused by the
energy flowing from the hob to the saucepan. This is normal for certain
pans, especially at a high setting. This is not harmful for the pan or hob.
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
The fan makes a noise
The appliance is equipped with a fan in order to increase the service life
of the electronic components. If you use the appliance intensively, the
fan will be switched on and you will hear a buzzing noise. The fan may
still make a noise after you have switched the appliance off.
Automatic pan detection
When automatic pan detection (APd) is active, a ticking sound is
observable, even when the zone is not in use.
Pans
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular quality of pan.
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 (minimum 2.25 mm);
▷a flat base.
• The best are pans with the ‘Class Induction’ quality mark.
Tip
You can check for yourself whether your pans are suitable by 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
Solid enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
Plastic
Aluminium
USE

EN 10
USE
Note
Be careful with enamelled thin 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.
Note
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. The appliance may then become too hot
which 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 minimum diameter of the pan base is 12 cm (16 cm for Bridge
induction zones). The best results are attained 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.

EN 11
Switching on and power setting
1. Press the key button.
A single audio signal sounds.
2. Place a pan in the middle of a cooking zone.
The APd registers a pan and a flashing ‘-’ appears in the display.
If you don’t do anything else, the cooking zone will switch off
automatically after 10 seconds.
3. Slide with your finger over the slide control (clockwise) or tap with
your finger on the slide control to set the desired setting. The
cooking zone starts automatically at the setting that has been set.
4. Set a higher or lower power by sliding with your finger over the slide
control or by tapping the slide control. The cooking zones have 12
settings. There is also a ‘boost’ setting for the induction zones.
Please note!
If the APd function is switched off, activate a cooking zone using the
on/off button.
Automatic pan detection (APd)
Once the hob is switched on, if a pan is placed on an inactive cooking
zone, the corresponding control will light up and can be operated
immediately (without operating the on/off button). If the cooking zone
is not switched on within 10 seconds it will switch itself off again. The
cooking zone can be reactivated by removing the pan and replacing it
on the cooking zone or by using the on/off button.
Switching the APd on and off
This function is active as standard, but can also be disabled.
Disable the function by switching off the hob. Then from the Eco stand-
by mode operating the ‘Pause’ button (1) for 5 seconds. The display
will read ‘APd OFF’. By repeating this action, the function will be
reactivated and ‘APd On’ will appear in the display.
Pan detection
If the hob doesn't detect a(n) (iron-containing) pan after a cooking
power has been set, the display will continue to flash and the cooking
area remains cold. When no (iron-containing) pan is placed within one
minute, the cooking zone will switch off automatically.

Residual heat indicator
After a cooking zone has been used it may still remain hot for a while.
As long as the cooking zone is still hot an “H” will be visible in the
display.
Boost
You can use the ‘boost’ function to cook at the highest power level
during a short period of time (max.10 minutes). After the maximum
boost time the power will be reduced to setting 12.
Switching on boost
1. Put a pan on a cooking zone and switch the cooking zone on.
2. Tap twice with your finger at the end of the slide control to set the
‘boost’ setting.
Level 12 and ‘boost’ appear in the display.
Switching off ‘boost’
‘Boost’ has been switched on, the display shows level 12 and ‘boost’.
1. Tap any part of the slider with your finger.
In the display you will see a lower level.
Or:
2. Press the on/off button of the cooking zone you want to switch off.
You will hear a signal and the level in the display disappears. The
cooking zone has been switched off completely.
Capacity distribution of cooking zones
• Depending on the type of cooker, the cooking zones can affect
each other. When several of these cooking zones are switched
on at the same time, the capacity is shared automatically between
them.
• When the maximum capacity of the combination of cooking levels
is reached during setting, one or more zones are automatically
reduced to the highest possible setting at that moment. This is
indicated by the flashing of the relevant control element. The last
set cooking zone takes priority.

When the hob is set to the childproof lock, is uses just as little energy
as when it is in the eco stand-by mode.
Pause
With the pause function, you can set the entire hob to 'pause' for
5 minutes during cooking. The energy supply to the cooking zone
stops without settings being lost. However you must remember
that the cooking zone will remain hot for a while. You are therefore
recommended to remove delicate dishes from the cooking zone.
