What you should pay attention to
• Induction cooking is extremely safe. Various safety
devices have been incorporated in the hob such as
a residual heat indicator and a cooking time limiter.
There are nevertheless a number of precautions you
should take.
Connection and repair
• This appliance may only be connected by a qualified
installer.
• Never open the casing. The casing may only be
opened by the service technician.
• Disconnect the electricity from the appliance before
starting any repair work Preferably unplug the
appliance, switch the (automatic) fuse(s) offor, in the
event of a permanent connection, set the switch in the
power supply lead to zero.
During use
• Do not use the hob in temperatures below 5°C.
• This cooking appliance is designed for household
use. It is to be used for food preparation only.
• When you use the hob for the first time you will notice
a “new smell”. This is normal. If the kitchen is well
ventilated the smell will soon disappear.
• Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting
the heating time will be incredibly short. Do not leave
the hob unattended if you are using a zone on a high
setting.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation while the hob is
in use. Keep all natural ventilation openings open
• Do not allow pans to boil dry. The hob itself is
protected against overheating but the pan will get very
hot indeed and could be damaged. The guarantee
does not cover any damage caused by a pan boiling
dry.
• Do not use the cooking area as storage space
• Ensure that there is several centimetres clearance
between the hob and the contents of the drawer.
• Do not keep anything combustible in the drawer
under the hob.
• Make sure that flexes of electrical appliances, such as
a mixer, cannot touch the hot cooking zone.
• The zones heat up during use and stay hot for a while
afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob
during and immediately after cooking.
• Grease and oil are inflammable when overheated. Do
not stand too close to the pan. Should oil catch fire,
never try to extinguish the fire with water. Put a lid on
the pan immediately and switch the cooking zone off.
• Never flambé food under the cooker hood. The high
flames could cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is
switched off.
• The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not
unbreakable.
• A spice jar or pointed utensil falling on it, for example,
could cause it to break.
• Stop using the hob if a break or crack appears.
Switch the appliance offimmediately, unplug
it to avoid electric shocks, and call the service
department.
• Never put any metal objects such as baking trays,
biscuit tins, saucepan lids or cutlery on the cooking
zone. These can heat up extremely quickly and cause
burns.
• Keep magnetizable objects (credit cards, bank
cards, floppy disks, etc.) away from the appliance.
We advise anyone with a pacemaker to consult their
cardiologist before using an induction hob.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to
clean the hob.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the
cooking zone automatically stops. Accustom yourself
to stop the cooking zone or hob manually to avoid
unintended switching on of the induction hob.
• A small object like a pan that is too small (diameter
of bottom smaller than 12 cm), a fork or a knife will
not be recognised by the appliance. The display
continues to flash and the hob will not switch on.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by
means of an external timer or separate remote-control
system.
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 bottom of the pan to avoid any
risk of overheating when a pan boils dry. In case of
temperatures rising too high, the power is reduced
automatically.

Getting used to it...
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.

Induction cooking
• Induction cooking is fast
– To start 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.
• 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.
No heat loss and cold handles with induction cooking.
Attention
• 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. Always keep
the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid
energy loss.
Induction cooking
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.
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 a bain-marie.
Fast
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.
USE

9
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 considerable cooler compared to
that from a Ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once a pan has
been taken away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Pans
Pans for induction cooking.
Induction cooking requires a particular quality of pan.
Attention
• 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)
–aflat base.
• The best are pans with the ‘Class Induction’ quality
mark.
Tip
You can check for yourself whether your pans are
suitable 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
Hard-wearing enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
Plastic
Aluminium
Attention
Be careful with enamelled 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.
Attention
• 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. This 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.
Cooking zone Minimum pan diameter
145 mm 120 mm
180 mm 145 mm
210 mm 145 mm
180x280 mm »oval« 180 mm
Minimum pan diameter
• The diameter of a pan must be at least 12 cm. You
will achieve the best results 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.

Settings
Switching on the hob and setting the power
The power has 9 settings. There is also a ‘boost’ setting,
which is indicated by a ‘P.’ in the display.
1. Put a pan on a cooking zone.
2. Touch the on/offsensor key . You will hear a short
beep and the display for each cooking zone will
read zero (“0”). If no sensor key is touched within
ten seconds after switching on the cooking hob, the
cooking zone will be automatically switched back off.
3. Slide your finger across the slider, from left to right,
to select the desired setting. The cooking zone will
automatically start operating with the set power (if a
piece of cookware with sufficiently large diameter is
perceived on the cooking zone).
Tip
In order to set the cooking power faster, simply press
on a point on the slider towards the right (or towards
the left, if you wish to decrease the power).
• Pan detection
– If the hob does not detect a (ferrous) pan after the
cooking power has been set, the pan detection
symbol and the selected power setting will flash
alternately on the display and the hob will remain
cold. If a (ferrous) pan is not placed on the cooking
zone within 10 minute, the cooking zone will
automatically switch off.
• Residual warmth indicator
– A cooking zone that has been used intensively will
retain heat for several minutes after it has been
switched off. An ’H.’ appears in the display as long
as the cooking zone is hot.
Automatic heat-up function
The automatic heat-up function temporarily increases
the power (setting ‘9.’) to heat the contents of the pan
faster. This function is available in all settings except the
‘Boost’ setting and setting ‘9.’.
Switching on the automatic heat-up function
The hob is switched on and a pan has been placed in a
cooking zone.
1. Slide your finger across the slider to the desired level
and hold your finger at that position for approximately
three seconds.
