Dear customer!
Welcome to our growing ASKO family!
We are proud of our appliances. We hope that this appliance will be an appreciated and dependable
aid for many years to come.
Please read the operating instructions before use. They include general tips, information about the
settings and adjustments you can make, and the best way to take care of your appliance.
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 dishes 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 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 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
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 glass-ceramic cooking zone to avoid
any risk of overheating when a pan boils dry. In case of temperatures rising too high, the power is
reduced automatically, or the hob switches 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:
The cooking zone switches off automatically
off after:
Setting
9 hours1 and 2

Safety

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 cooking hob is operated by a slider. You can either touch the selected part of the slider or
slide in a circular motion clockwise to increase or anti-clockwise to decrease the power level
and temperature.
•To set the cooking zone power level, touch the desired spot on the slider. As you touch the slider,
the selected power level will appear on the cooking zone display unit.
•The selected part of the slider will be fully lit.
Induction cooking
Induction cooking is fast
In the beginning 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.
Attention
Grains of sand, salt, sugar or crystals 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.
Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid energy
loss, and therefore temperature loss.
