Introduction
This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. The hob
consists of a gas wok burner and induction cooking zones.
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.
You can prepare wok dishes much more effectively with the high-power
wok burner (gas). The burner ignites automatically when it is turned on.
Thanks to the touch control the burner flame be controlled accurately.
For optimum safety the touch control gas-induction hob is fitted with
a thermo-electric flame protection. The hob is equipped with several
temperature protections and a residual heat indicator, which shows
which cooking zones (or the wok burner) are still hot.
This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of
the touch control gas-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.

Read the separate safety instructions before
use!
Temperature safety induction zones
• Each induction zone is equipped with a sensor. This sensor
measures the temperature of the base of the pan and the sections
of the hob. This facility prevents overheating (for example through
a pan boiling dry). In case of temperatures rising too high, the
power of the cooking zone/hub is reduced automatically or shut off
completely.
Cooking time limiter
• If a cooking zone or the wok burner is switched 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
setting
The cooking zone or wok burner
switches off automatically 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 zone or wok brander switches off automatically when
the above-stated time has elapsed.

SAFETY

EN 9
INDUCTION USE
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 boil very rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to
avoid them 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 comes to the boil.
Please 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.
• To avoid energy loss, always keep the lid on the pan when cooking.
• Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no
longer suitable for use on an induction hob!
Operation of the touch-sensitive buttons
For optimum working, place your finger tips flat on the buttons. You
don’t have to push hard. The sensors under the buttons are located on
the slider’s outer ring.
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.
With induction cooking
there is no heat loss and
the handles stay cool.

EN 10
INDUCTION 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 into the glass.
Safe
The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does not get any
hotter than the pan. This means that the cooking zone is considerably
cooler than a ceramic hob, for example.
Once a pan has been removed, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
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.
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 11
Ventilator makes sounds
The appliance is fitted with a ventilator in order to increase the lifespan
of electronic components. 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.
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 type of pan in terms of quality.
• 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.
Suitable Unsuitable
Special stainless steel pans Earthenware
Class Induction Stainless steel
Solid enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
Plastic
Aluminium
INDUCTION USE

EN 12
Please note!
Be careful with thin enamelled sheet steel pans:
• the enamel may come loose from the steel at high settings if the
pan boils 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
and the pan base melting. Damage caused by using unsuitable pans
or boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Pan diameter
The minimum diameter for the pan base is 12 cm. 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 off a cooking zone, the dish stops cooking
immediately.
INDUCTION USE

EN 13
Pans
Pans
• Always ensure that the flames remain under the pan. A lot of energy
is lost when flames burn around the outside of the pan. The handles
could also become too hot.
• Do not use pans with a base diameter smaller than 12 cm.
Smaller pans are not as stable.
Wok ring
The wok ring supplied with the wok burner provides extra stability for
round-based woks.
Only use the wok ring on the wok stand in combination with a
(round-based) wok. The wok ring may discolour if used on the
searing setting.
Pan support
Place the pan support vertically, without sliding it over the glass top.
Use the positioning notches to position the pan support on the glass top.
