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.
Cooking-time limiter
The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your
cooking appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch
offyour hob.
Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking
time will be limited as follows:

Getting used to it...
Using touch sensors
The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a
fingertip.
You do not have to apply any pressure. Do not operate
the controls with any other objects. The hob will not
switch on when your pet walks over it.
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.
NOTE!
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
Induction cooking hob heats the food using a magnetic
field. When a pan with ferromagnetic metal bottom is
placed on the hob, the magnetic field generates eddy
currents that heat up the pan.
Coil (1) in the induction hob (2) generates magnetic field
(3). When a pan with ferromagnetic metal bottom (4) is
placed on the coil, eddy currents are generated in the
pan bottom, which produce heat.
USE

9
Simple
The electronic controls are accurate
and easy to set. For example, on the
lowest setting you can melt chocolate
directly in the pan 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.
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.
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.
NOTE!
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 stainlesssteel pans Earthenware
Class Induction Stainless steel
Hard-wearing enamelled
pans
Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
Plastic
Aluminium
NOTE!
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.
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.
NOTE!
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.

automatically switch off.
3. Slide your finger from left to right over the slide control
and select the desired hotplate setting. The hob will
automatically start in the chosen setting (if it detects a
pan with adequate diameter).
NOTE!
Touching the slide control more to the right will
result in higher power setting (and touching it
more towards the left will result in reduced power
setting).
Detecting the pan
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, while the hob remains cold. If an adequate
ferrous pan is not placed on the hotplate within 1 minute
from the commencement of flashing, the hotplate will
automatically switch off.
Remaining heat indicator
A hotplate that has been used intensively will retain heat
for several minutes after it has been switched off. A letter
H appears in the display as long as the relevant hotplate
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.’

Cleaning
After each use of the glass-ceramic hob, wait for it to
cool down and clean it; otherwise, even the smallest
food residue will be burnt onto the hot surface next
time you use the appliance. For regular cleaning and
maintenance of the glass-ceramic surface, use
special conditioning agents which form a protective
layer on the surface, shielding it from dirt. Before each
use, wipe any dust or other particles from the hob
surface and pan bottom as these could scratch the
surface (Figure 1).
Figure 1
Careful: steel wool, abrasive sponges, and abrasive
detergents can scratch the hob surface. Glass ceramic
surface can also be damaged by aggressive sprays
and inappropriate or insufficiently shaken (mixed) liquid
cleaning agents (Figure 1 and Figure 2).
Signage may be worn when using aggressive or
abrasive cleaners or cookware with damaged bottom
(Figure 2).
Figure 2
Light stains can be removed by a damp soft cloth; then,
wipe the surface dry (Figure 3).
Water stains can be removed using a mild solution of
vinegar; however, do not use this solution to clean the frame
(only with some models, as it may become dull. Do not use
aggressive sprays or decalcification agents (Figure 3).
Heavier stains can be removed using special agents and
utensils for cleaning the glass-ceramic hobs. When using
these products, follow the instructions provided by their
respective manufacturers.
Make sure any residues of cleaning agents are
thoroughly removed, as they could damage the glass-
ceramic hob when the cooking zones heat up (Figure
3).
Figure 3
Remove stubborn and burnt residues with a scraper (figure
4). Be careful when handling the scraper to prevent injury.
NOTE!
Only use the scraper when dirt cannot be
removed with a wet cloth or special cleaners for
glass ceramic surfaces.
Figure 4
NOTE!
Do not press the scraper perpendicularly against
the glass and do not scratch the hob surface with
its tip or blade.
Hold the scraper at the correct angle (45° to 60°).
Gently press the scraper against the glass and
slide it over the signage to remove the dirt. Make
sure the plastic handle of the scraper (in some
models) does not come into contact with a hot
cooking zone.
Sugar and sugar-laden food may permanently damage the
glass-ceramic surface (Figure 5); therefore, they should
be removed from the glass-ceramic surface as soon as
possible, although the cooking zone may still be hot (Figure
4). Any change in the color of the glass-ceramic
surface does not affect its operation or the stability of the
surface. Such discolorations are mostly a result of burnt
food residues or use of cookware made of materials such
as aluminum or copper; these stains are difficult to remove.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE!
All damage described above predominantly
relates to the aesthetics, i.e. appearance of the
appliance and do not affect its functionality
directly. Such errors cannot be the subject of a
warranty claim.

18
SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Symbols ( ) appear in the displays
when the hob is activated for the first
time.
This is the standard set-up routine. Normal operation
The fan runs on for several minutes
after the hob has been switched off.
The hob is cooling. Normal operation
A slight smell is noticeable the first
few times the hob is used.
The new appliance is heating up. This is normal and will disappear once
it has been used a few times. Ventilate
the kitchen.
You can hear a ticking sound in your
hob.
This is caused by the capacity limiter
on the front and back zones. Ticking
can also occur at lower settings.
Normal operation.

Ventilation
The electronics in the appliance need cooling. The
appliance will automatically switch offif there is
insufficient air circulation. There are ventilation openings
on the underside of the appliance. It must be possible
for cool air to be drawn in through these openings. There
are outlet openings on the underside and at the front of
the appliance.
A Lower kitchen cabinet with a drawer
• An opening at least 140 mm high must be provided
on the back wall of the cabinet, along its entire width.
Furthermore, a minimum of 6 mm clearance must be
provided at the front side, along the entire width of the
cabinet.
• The hob is fitted with a fan located in its lower part.
In case there is a drawer underneath the kitchen
cabinet, no small objects or paper must be kept
there, as these could be sucked in by the fan, causing
damage to the fan or the entire cooling system.
Aluminum foil and inflammable substances or liquids
(e.g. sprays) should also not be stored in such
drawers or placed near the hob. Danger of explosion!
There should be a clearance of 20 mm between the
drawer contents and the fan entry slots.
B Lower kitchen cabinet with an oven
• Installing the oven under an induction hob is possible
with oven types EVP4.., EVP2.., which are fitted with a
cooling fan. Before installing the oven, the rear wall of
the kitchen cabinet should be removed. Furthermore,
a minimum of 6 mm clearance should be provided at
the front side, along the entire width of the cabinet.
