contents of the pan but just the temperature that the induction
zone will emit.
oTo return to the heat setting mode just press the
heat button (3).

12
IMPORTANT: A buzzer will sound for 10 seconds before the hob

the required countdown time. Each press of
these buttons which increase or decrease the
time by 1 minute. If either of the buttons is held
down, the time will increase or decrease by 10
minutes.

Cookware that is suitable for an induction hob
The table below shows cookware that is normally suitable for use on
an induction zone hob:-
Cookware Suitable
Steel, enamelled steel Yes
Cast iron Yes
Stainless steel Yes (if stated by the pan
manufacturer)
Aluminium, copper, brass No
Glass, ceramic, porcelain No
oThe bottom of the pans should be as flat and thick as possible.
oCertain types of cookware may result in a noise being made
when being used on an induction zone hob. This does not mean
that there is an appliance fault.
oIMPORTANT: You should make sure that all pans are placed in
the centre of the induction zone that you are using.
Hob guidelines
oThe first few times the
hob is used, it may give
off an acrid, burning
smell. This smell will
disappear completely with
repeated use.
oThe saucepan must be
positioned exactly on the
zone for efficient heating
to occur. Pans should
have the same diameter
as the cooking zone that it
is being used on.
oYou should not use
saucepans with rough
bottoms, as this can
scratch the ceramic
surface.
oBefore use, make sure
that the bottom of the
saucepan is clean and dry.
oWhen cold, the bottom of
the pan should be slightly
concave, as it will expand
when hot and lie flat on
the surface of the hob.
This will allow the heat to
transfer more easily.
oThe best thickness for the
bottom of the pans is 2 –
3 mm of enamelled steel
and 4 – 6 mm for
stainless steel with
sandwich type bottoms.
oIf these rules are not
followed, then there will
be a great loss of heat
and energy. Heat not
absorbed by the
saucepan, will spread to
the hob, frame and
surrounding areas.

14
oPreferably cover pans with
a lid to permit cooking at
a lower heat.
oAlways cook vegetables
and potatoes, etc. in as
little water as possible, to
reduce cooking times.
oDO NOT attempt to heat
an empty pot.
oYou should never leave
the hob unattended at any
time during use.
oFood or liquid that has
high sugar content may
damage the hob if it
comes into contact with
the ceramic hob surface.
Any spillages should be
wiped up immediately,
however this may not
prevent the hob surface
from becoming damaged.
oNever heat foods in sealed
containers, such as
compressed products or
cans to avoid an explosion
caused by heat expansion.
oIMPORTANT: The
ceramic hob surface is
tough; however it is not
unbreakable and can be
damaged. Especially if
pointed or hard objects
are allowed to fall on it
with some force.
oDO NOT USE THE HOB
IF THE SURFACE
BECOMES BROKEN OR
CRACKED. YOU SHOULD
CONTACT THE
BAUMATIC SERVICE
DEPARTMENT
IMMEDIATELY.
Cleaning and
maintenance
Cleaning
operations must
only be carried
out when the
oven is cool.
The appliance should be
disconnected from your
mains supply before
commencing any cleaning
process.
Cleaning the ceramic hob top
Any residues that are left
on the hob top surface
from cleaning agents will
damage it. You should
remove any residues with
water and a little washing
up liquid.
Abrasive cleaners or
sharp objects will damage
the hob surface; you
should clean it using water and
a little washing up liquid.
Although it is easier to
clean some deposits
whilst the hob surface is
still warm. You should take care
not to burn yourself if cleaning
the hob surface when it is still
warm.

or cleaning products being
used.
Use cookware with flat and
smooth bases. See the
section on cookware in this
manual.
Some pans make
crackling or clicking
noises.
This may be caused by the
construction of your cookware
(layer of different metals
vibrating differently).
This is normal for cookware
and does not indicate a
fault.
The induction hob
makes a low
humming noise when
used on a high heat
This is caused by the
technology of induction
cooking.
This is normal, but the noise
should quieten down or
disappear completely when

setting. level.
Fan noise coming
from the induction
hob.
A cooling fan built into your
induction hob has come on to
prevent the electronics from
overheating. It may continue
to run even after you’ve
turned the induction hob off.
This is normal and needs no
action. Do not switch the
power to the induction hob
off at the wall while the fan
is running.
The power light (2)
turns on but the pans
do not become hot.
The induction hob cannot
detect the pan because it is
not suitable for induction
cooking.
The induction hob cannot
detect the pan because it is
too small for the cooking zone
or not properly centred on it.
Use cookware suitable for
induction cooking. See the
section on cookware in this
manual.
Centre the pan and make
sure that its base matches
the size of the cooking zone.
The induction hob or
a cooking zone has
turned itself off
unexpectedly.
The ambient temperature
detected is too high.
The air entry or air vent slot is
blocked.
The maximum working time
has been reached.
Wait for the temperature to
lower before turning the hob
on again.
Check the air entry and air
vent slots for blockages.
