Safety

Dear customer!
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!

Your hob

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.
Always keep the lid on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid energy
loss, and therefore temperature loss.
Attention
Only put pans with a clean base on the cooking surface and always
pick pans up to move them.
Grains of sand, salt, sugar or crystals may cause scratches which
cannot be removed.
10
Use

How does induction work
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 a bain-marie.
Fast
Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing liquid 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 be burnt on the
cooking zone.
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 considerably
cooler compared to that from a ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once a
pan has been taken away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
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.
•In case a zone is used for Celsius Cooking, this zone always gets highest priority.
•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).
11
Use

Pans
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular quality of pan.
WARNING!
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 induction cooking with a thick base (minimum 2.25 mm) and a
flat base.
•The best are pans with the ‘Class Induction’quality mark.
INFORMATION!
You can check for yourself whether your pans are suitable using a magnet. A pan is suitable if
the base of the pan is sufficiently attracted by the magnet.
UnsuitableSuitable
EarthenwareSpecial stainless steel pans
Stainless steelClass Induction
PorcelainHard-wearing enamelled pans
CopperEnamelled cast-iron pans
Plastic
Aluminium
WARNING!
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 - for example: Due to overheating
•heat up enamelled pans slowly
12
Use

WARNING!
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.
Minimum pan diameter
The diameter of the bottom of the pan must be at least 12 cm. You will achieve the best results by
using a pan with the same diameter as the cooking 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 heating process stops immediately.
Pan detection
The cooking zone automatically detects a suitable pan placed on a cooking zone. The cooking zone
display lights up.
Integrated pan recognition
If a certain power level is set for a cooking zone and there is no suitable pan or any pan on the
cooking zone, then the cooking zone will not deliver any power. After a certain period, the cooking
zone will switch off automatically.
Grill plates
The hob has a Grill function (depending on the model) for using a grill plate or teppan yaki. The
function keeps the grill plate or teppan yaki at an ideal temperature for grilling.
Induction noises
A ticking sound
This sound can be caused at lower power level settings or by the automatic pot detection.
Pans are making noise
Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to
the pan. This is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the pans or the hob.
The fan is making noise
To increase the lifespan and performance of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with fans.
During intense use of the appliance, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance and you will
hear a buzzing sound. The fan still runs for several minutes after the hob has been switched off.
13

Power distribution of cooking zones
•Depending on the type of hob, the cooking zones can affect each other. When several of these
cooking zones are switched on at the same time, the 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.

12.
Deactivating boost
To deactivate the boost for the selected cooking zone, press level 12 again or any other power level
on the slider.
18
Operation

INFORMATION!
To avoid overheating, the electronic control system may automatically deactivate boost prematurely
and decrease the power level to 12.
If there is no suitable pan on the cooking zone, the set level of temperature will flash. After one
minute, the cooking zone will be switched off.
Move function
If you remove the pan from an active cooking zone and within 6 seconds place it on a different
cooking zone, all the timer and cooking-related settings can be transferred to the new cooking zone
by touching the slider of the new cooking zone. To indicate this possibility, the new cooking zone
displays copied settings on the slider. When the confirmation is done, the previous cooking zone is
deactivated.
Automatic cooking zone bridging
Two adjacent square cooking zones can be merged into a single large cooking zone. Pan position
recognition is activated automatically after the appliance is switched on. When a pan will be placed
on the hob, the pan recognition function will recognize its position and automatically connect the
bridge cooking zones depending on the size of the pan (only when hob was already switched on).
The power level or temperatures are displayed simutaneously on both bridged cooking zones, but
the power level or temperature can only be adjusted on the left or upper slider.
You can un-bridge or manualy bridge the cooking zone by touching the two corresponding sliders
at the same time.
Chef mode
(only on type models: HI29672SV HI29672SVI HI29671SV)
In this mode, all cooking zones are switched on simultaneously and the cooking hob is divided into
three zones.
•On all left-hand side cooking zones, power level 12 is automatically activated.
