4
Safety

WARNING!
Use only hob guards designed by the manufacturer of the cooking
appliance or indicated by the appliance manufacturer in the
instructions for use as suitable or hob guards incorporated in the
appliance. The use of inappropriate guards can cause accidents.
•If a drawer underneath the appliance is permitted (see the
installation instructions), without an intermediate bottom, this
should not be used to store highly flammable objects/materials.
Ensure that there is adequate clearance of a few centimetres
between the bottom of the hob and the contents of any drawers.
•The hob is only to be used for the preparation of food.
•This appliance is only designed for household use.
•The unit is not designed for heating rooms.
•Do not warm closed tins on the hob. There will be a build-up of
pressure that will cause tins to explode. You might get injured or
scalded.
•Never cover the appliance with a cloth or something similar. If the
appliance is still hot or is switched on, there is a risk of fire.
•Do not use the appliance as a worktop. The appliance may
accidentally be switched on or still be hot, which means objects
could melt, become hot or catch fire.
•Do not use the appliance in temperatures below 5 °C.
•The appliance should not be placed or used outdoors.
•When you use the hob for the first time, you will notice a “new
smell”. Don’t worry, this is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated,
the smell will soon disappear.
•The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote control system.
•Never open the casing of the appliance.
•In connection with electrical safety, the appliance shall not be
cleaned with high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners.
5
Safety

•The ceramic top is extremely strong but not unbreakable.
For example, a spice jar or sharp utensil falling on it could cause
it to break.
•The hob is fitted with a Wi-Fi module that allows the appliance to
connect to a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet.
It offers to monitor the cooking hob status via the mobile device.
For safety reasons, it is not possible to remotely control, turn on
or turn off the hob. The monitoring function via mobile device shall
not be used to replace the personal supervision of the cooking
process directly at the hob.
•If you decide to discontinue using the appliance because of a
fault, we recommend you cut off the cable after removing the plug
from the plug socket. Take the appliance to your municipality’s
waste disposal site.
WARNING!
WARNING: If the surface is cracked, switch off the appliance to
avoid the possibility of electric shock.
Ceramic glass plate broke
•Shut immediately off all burners and any electrical heating element
and isolate the appliance from the power supply.
•Do not touch the appliance surface.
•Do not use the appliance.
WARNING!
Households with children and people with special needs
This appliance can be used by children aged 8 years and over,
as well as by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, provided they
are supervised and instructed in the safe use of the appliance and
understand the hazards involved.
6
Safety

•Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
•Do not allow children to clean or maintain the appliance unless
supervised.
•Do not keep objects that children might find interesting in
cupboards above or behind the appliance.
Induction use
•Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and
lids on the surface of the cooking hob; they may become hot.
•As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking process
will stop automatically. Get into the habit of switching off the
cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintentionally switching
on the appliance.
•After use, switch off the hob element using the controls and don’t
rely only on the pan detector.
•Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting the heating
time will be very short. Do not leave the hob unattended if you are
using a zone in a high setting.
•When the induction hob is in use, keep objects that are sensitive
to magnetic fields (credit cards, bank cards, discs, watches and
similar items) away from the hob. We advise anyone with a
pacemaker to consult their cardiologist first.
•Never use aluminium foil for cooking and never place products
packaged in aluminium on the hob. The aluminium would melt
and irreparably damage your device.
Extraction use
WARNING!
Life-threatening, the danger of poisoning through back-drafting
of combustion gasses!
7
Safety

•Never use the appliance to extract air while using a cooker that
consumes air from the room, unless the room is sufficiently
ventilated. Cooking appliances that consume air in the room (such
as equipment that heats using gas, oil, wood or coal, geysers,
hot water appliances) draw the combustion air out of the room
and carry these gasses outside via the outlet (eg. chimney).
In combination with an activated cooker hood, the air is withdrawn
from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms. This creates negative
pressure if there is insufficient air supply. Poisonous gasses from
the chimney or outlet channel are then back drafted into the living
area.
•Always provide adequate ventilation!
•When the extraction unit and appliances supplied with energy
other than electricity are simultaneously in operation, the negative
pressure in the room must not exceed 4 Pa (4 × 10-5 bar).
•Local regulations concerning the discharge of air have to be
fulfilled.
ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Avoid the risk of electric shock; make sure the appliance is
switched off before cleaning the appliance.
•Do not use the extraction unit if the grease filter has not been fitted
properly!
•To prevent hot fat from catching fire, you should only deep-fry
under continuous supervision.
•Clean the filters on time.
•Follow the instructions in the manual for cleaning or replacing the
grease filters and/or carbon filters!
8
Safety

DANGER OF FIRE!
There is a risk of fire if the instructions for cleaning or replacing
grease filters and/or carbon filters are not followed. Consult chapter
'Maintenance' concerning the details of the method and frequency
of cleaning.
Grease deposits in the metal grease filters can cause a fire.
Never flambé on a cooking zone with the extractor switched on.
The high flames can cause a fire. Always use the appliance with
the metal grease filter. Clean the grease filter regularly.
Overheated fat or oil can start a fire. Always supervise the heating
of fat and oil. Never extinguish a fire with water; always use a fire
blanket, lid or plate.

Safety

Safe use
Temperature safety
•The hob is fitted with a cooling fan which cools the electronic components during cooking.
The fan may operate for a while, even after the end of the cooking process.
•The induction cooking hob is also fitted with an overheating protector which protects the electronic
components from damage. The protector operates in several ways. When the cooking zone
temperature gets very high, the cooking power is automatically reduced. If this does not suffice,
the cooking zone power continues to decrease, until the safety mechanisms switch off the cooking
zone completely. When the cooking hob is cooled down, its total power will be available again.
Cooking time limiter
WARNING!
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
after:
Setting
9 hours1 and 2
5 hours3, 4 and 5
4 hours6, 7 and 8
3 hours9
2 hours10
1 hour11 and 12
The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off if the time in the table has elapsed.
The cooking zone switches automatically to
setting 12 after:
Setting
10 minutesBoost
NOTE!
The Cooking-time limiter for the specific cooking zone is reset after the user has changed the
cooking level of the specific cooking zone.
NOTE!
Cooking zone related timers take priority over the cooking-time limiter.

Safety

‘Open window’function
If it is prescribed that an extraction unit, which is located in a room where a fireplace is present, may
only be used when a (kitchen) window is open, then a window sensor must be installed.
The ‘open window’function is automatically activated as soon as an ‘open window’sensor is
connected to the appliance. The use of an ‘open window’sensor type ‘FDS 100’is recommended.
Power management
This induction hob is equipped with a smart power management system. This system ensures a
maximum permissible power cannot be exceeded for safety reasons.
•The smart power management system will arrange the power distribution across the zones
automatically. This means the hob could automatically decrease the power on one zone when
the power level of another zone is increased. The level of activity of the power management
system depends on the available power per electrical phase, the setting of the current limiter
and the connected load.
•The power level of one zone can affect the power of another zone as the maximum available
power is distributed among the zones. If the combined zones reach the maximum available
power when a new power level is set, the power levels of one or more zones are automatically
reduced within the power limit. This is indicated by the flashing of the relevant control element.
•Intervention by the smart power management system is more likely when the current limiter is
set to a lower level.
•The current limiter setting must be set according to your connection and circuit breakers by a
registered and qualified installer (see 'Current limiter' for the details on currents and electrical
installation).

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 a boil very
rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling
over or boiling dry. With induction cooking, there is no heat loss, and
the handles stay cool.
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 zone will adjust the power to the pan's diameter. The power will thus be lower, and
it will take longer before the food comes to a boil.
right
wrong
NOTE!
•Grains of sand may cause scratches that you cannot remove.
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.
Operation of the touch keys and sliders
•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.
•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.
•Do not use any objects to operate the slider.
19
Use

How induction works
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 au bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob high power levels, bringing food to a boil is very quick.
Clean
The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not get any hotter than the pans themselves,
food spills are unlikely to 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.
Capacity distribution of cooking zones
Depending on the hob model, the cooking zones can affect each other. When several cooking zones
are switched on simultaneously, the available 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.
