The round shape that most closely matches the size of the pan shows on the display. If
you put differently shaped pans on the hob (such as a grill plate or Teppan Yaki), the
display also shows a round shape.
Attention
Hot pans can cause damage to the display and the On/Off key. Only put pans on the
‘Free-Area’ cooking zone.
‘Pot move’ function
As pans are not related to fixed cooking zones, they can be moved to several positions on the
hob. Pan settings (power level / program / timer) move to the new pan position automatically.
The display shows the new pan position, including the settings for that pan.
When you lift a pan, the pan information shows on the display for 10 seconds. During
that time you can put the pan on a new position and all pan settings move to the new
pan position automatically.

Attention
Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot be removed. Only put pans with
a clean bottom on the hob. We recommend that you lift pans and not slide them
over the hob.
YOUR INDUCTION HOB

EN 8
Standby mode
When the hob is connected to the power supply for the first time, the
system does a self-test and a reset. This also happens if there has been
a temporary power failure. The real time clock shows on the display
during the self-test. The total time the clock shows on the display after
a first start-up is 15 to 25 seconds. After the self-test, the hob switches
to standby mode and is ready for use.
It is not possible to switch on the hob within the first 20 seconds after connection to the
power supply.
Appropriate pans
Induction cooking requires a pan with a thick flat bottom (minimum 2.25 mm). Use pans made
of ferromagnetic material or pans with a sandwich bottom. The best pans to use have the
Class Induction quality mark. Other pans provide a lower performance. Pans made of copper,
aluminum or ceramic material are not appropriate.
In pan selection mode, a pan that is not appropriate shows in a grey
color with an exclamation mark. Touch the exclamation mark to show
the info message.
The maximum pan diameter that you can use is 350 mm.
Only use pans with a flat bottom. A hollow or rounded bottom can interfere with the
operation of the empty cooking protection, causing the appliance to become too hot.
This may lead to damages. Damage caused by using pans that are not appropriate or
that boil dry is excluded from the guarantee.
Pans that have been used on a gas hob cannot be used on an induction hob.
Be careful with thin enamelled sheet-steel pans! The enamel may become damaged at
high settings if the pan is too dry. High power level settings may cause the bottom of the
pan to warp.
BEFORE FIRST USE

EN 9
Pan detection
The pan detection system determines the position of a pan and activates the induction coils that
are needed to supply the correct power levels. Each induction coil can supply a maximum power
of 2.1 kW if more than 60% of the surface is covered by ferromagnetic material.
Pan positioning
Attention
Hot pans can cause damage to the display and the On/Off key. Only put pans on the
‘Free-Area’ cooking zone.
• You can put max. 6 pans on the hob.
• The pan detection system searches for round pans (from Ø 100 mm to 280 mm). Larger or
differently shaped pans (such as a grill plate or Teppan Yaki), are only detected if they are
put on the hob if the hob is already switched on.
• In special cases, a pan that is already put on the hob is detected as two pans after
switching on the hob. In that case, lift the pan for at least 2 seconds and put it back on the
hob.
• Pans larger than 100 mm and smaller than 145 mm cannot be used on every position
on the hob (see ‘Conflict management/Pan conflict’). The best position for small pans is
concentrically on an induction coil.
• Tilting a grill plate or Teppan Yaki might in rare cases lead to wrong detection.
BEFORE FIRST USE

EN 10
BEFORE FIRST USE
Minimum distance
Be sure that there is enough distance between two pans when you put them on the same
induction coil. If the distance between the pan bases is too small, the display shows a conflict
(see ‘Conflict management’). This conflict only occurs when power levels are set.

Do not place metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids on the surface of the
hop, they may become hot.

EN 11
SAFETY
Power management
A power management prevents the mains connection from overloading. The power management
is prioritizing, i. e. the pan with the last increased power level, will get the desired power level.
Another pan that is put on the same induction coil will be reduced in its power if the total power
request of the two pans exceeds 3.7 kW. In that case you hear an audio signal and the power
level of the pan will be reduced to the maximum possible power.
For safety reasons, the power level will not be increased to the power level that was set
before.
Cooling
‘Free Area’ Induction provides an efficient cooling concept using 1 fan per generator. The fans
operate with 2 different speeds to provide a low-noise operation. The fans also continue to
operate for a certain period of time if the hob switches to standby mode (after-cooling).
Cooking time limiter
The cooking time limiter is a safety feature of your hob. This limiter is activated when the cooking
time, as indicated in the table, is exceeded. Depending on the program or power level you have
chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:
Program / Power level Automatic switch off after a cooking time
of:
Melting / Keep warm / Simmering 2 hours
1 / 1.5 10 hours
2 /2.5 / 3 / 3.5 5 hours
4 / 4.5 4 hours
5 / 5.5 3 hours
6 / 6.5 / 7 / 7.5 / 8 / 8.5 2 hours
9 1 hour
P 10 minutes (then it switches back to level 9)
Attention. If you have set a cooking timer with a cooking time that is longer as
indicated in the table, the time that is set for the cooking timer has priority.

EN 12
SAFETY
Empty Cooking Protection
The hob is equipped with sensors that measure the temperature of the bottom of the pan to
avoid any risk of overheating. In case of a temperature that is too high, the power of the hob is
decreased automatically or the hob is switched off automatically.
Induction noises
Generally, induction cooking may cause some audible noises, e. g. chirping, wheezing and
humming. These noises cannot be avoided completely and are not harmful to your appliance.
Pans are making noise
Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob
to the pan. At high settings this is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not damage either the
pans or the hob.
The fan is making noise
To enlarge the lifespan of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with fans. If you use the
appliance intense, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance and you will hear a buzzing
sound. The fan runs on for several minutes after the hob has been switched off.

EN 13
Please read the chapter ‘Before first use’ very carefully before you start cooking.
This prevents incorrect use of the hob.
