CAUTION!
Damage caused by grease and dirt deposits
Grease and dirt deposits can prevent the cooktop
extractor from functioning properly.
XX Never use the cooktop extractor without a
correctly fitted stainless steel grease filter.
Special safety instructions for using the
exhaust air mode
ÿDANGER!
Risk of smoke inhalation
When the cooktop extractor is used in exhaust
air mode, it draws in air from the room it is
installed in and from neighbouring rooms. If there
isinsu󹩴cientairsupply,lowpressurewilloccur.
Whenusedatthesametimeasareplacethat
is dependent on the air in the room, noxious
gases can be sucked into the living areas from the
chimney or outlet shaft.
XX Make sure that there is always a sufficient air
supply.
XX Only use reliable, tried-and-tested switching
devices, (e.g. window contact switch, low
pressure warning device) and have them
approved by a qualified expert (certified chimney
sweep).
Special safety instructions for using the
recirculation mode
When cooking, additional moisture is released into
the ambient air. In recirculation mode, only a slight
amount of moisture is removed from the cooking
vapour.
XX When using the recirculation mode, ensure a
sufficient supply of fresh air, e.g. by opening a
window.
XX Ensure a normal and comfortable room climate
(humidity of 45–60%), e.g. by opening natural
ventilation openings or using domestic ventilation
systems.
XX After every use in recirculation mode, switch the
cooktop extractor to a low power level for about
20 minutes or activate the automatic after-run
function.
ÿWARNING!
Risk of burning and fire from hot objects
The appliance and its exposed parts are hot during
operation and the cooling phase. Objects placed on
the appliance heat up very quickly and can cause
severe burns (this particularly applies to metal
objects such as knives, forks, spoons,
lids or cooktop extractor covers).
XX Do not place any items on the appliance.
XX Please use suitable accessories (pot holders,
oven gloves).
CAUTION!
Damage caused by hot cookware
Hot cookware can damage certain components in
the appliance.
XX Do not put hot cookware down in the area of the
cooktop display.
XX Keep hot cookware away from the air inlet
nozzle.
2.4.1 Safety instructions – cooktop

not get onto the cooking zone while it is hot.
XX Remove sugary and salty foods and juices from
the hot cooking zone immediately.
Special safety instructions for the operation of
induction cooktops
Effect on pace makers, hearing aids and metal
implants:
induction cooktops generate a high-frequency
electromagnetic field in the area of the cooking
zones. The cooking zones may affect pacemakers,
hearing aids or metal implants negatively or disturb
their function when in close proximity. A reduced
function of the pacemaker is unlikely.
XX If in doubt, contact the manufacturer of your
medical device, or your doctor.
2.5 Safety instructions – cleaning
and maintenance
The appliance must be cleaned at regular intervals.
Dirt can lead to damage, restriction of functions, or
bothersome odours. In the worst case scenario, this
can become a hazard.
XX Remove dirt immediately.
XX When cleaning, only use non-abrasive detergents
to prevent scratching and abrasion on the surface.
XX When cleaning, ensure that no water penetrates
the appliance. Use only a slightly damp cloth.
Never spray the device with water. Water
penetration can cause damage!
XX Do not use a steam cleaner for cleaning. Steam
can cause a short circuit on live parts and thus
lead to property damage.
XX Please follow all instructions in the “Cleaning and
Maintenance” chapter.
2.4.2 Safety instructions – cooktop
operation
XX Do not simply rely on the pan size recognition
function on induction cooktops; always switch the
appliance off after use.

description
Installation variations
Depending on what you opted for when purchasing, the cooktop
extractor can be operated as an exhaust air or recirculation
model.
Exhaust air mode
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and
expelled into the open air via a duct system.
The exhaust air must not be expelled into:
XO a smoke or exhaust gas flue that is in operation
XO a shaft used for the aeration of rooms where fireplaces are
installed.
If the exhaust air is to be directed into a smoke or exhaust gas
flue that is not in use, the installation must be checked and
approved by the responsible heating engineer.
i If the cooktop extractor is used in an exhaust air system,
the extractor power is automatically increased for the
first 20 seconds when set on a lower power level (wall
sleeve function).
Recirculation mode
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and an
activated charcoal filter and fed back into the room in which the
appliance is installed.
To prevent odours in recirculation mode, an odour filter must be
used. For hygiene and health reasons, this must be replaced at
the recommended intervals (see the Cleaning and maintenance
chapter).
i In recirculation mode, ensure sufficient ventilation and
aeration to expel humidity.

EN
13
Appliance description
www.bora.com
4.3.2 Sensors
The cooktop extractor is equipped with sensors in the area of
the cover flap and the grease filter.
Cover flap position sensor
The cover flap sensor detects the position of the cover flap.
XO If the cover flap is closed, the cooktop extractor is
deactivated.
XO If the cover flap is open, the cooktop extractor can be used.
XO If the cover flap has been removed, the cooktop extractor can
be used.
Grease filter position sensor
The grease filter sensor detects whether the grease filter has
been fitted correctly. If the grease filter is missing or has been
fitted incorrectly, the cooktop extractor is deactivated.
i If the grease filter is removed, for example, for cleaning,
the cover flap can still be closed.
4.3.3 Interface for external devices
The internal interface can be used for extended control options.
This has a Home In and a Home Out contact (see the Installation
chapter).
XO The Home In contact can be used for the signal input from
external switch devices (e.g. window contact switch).
XO The Home Out contact can be used to control external
installations (e.g. electrically opening wall sleeves).
4.3.4 USB port for servicing
The system has a USB port for servicing. This port is only
suitable for mass storage devices (USB sticks). These USB sticks
must be formatted with the FAT32 data system.
i The USB port is only designed for updates or data export
and only has sufficient power supply for these processes.
It is not possible to charge devices or carry out other
functions.

i The heating and heat-through times for the cookware
base, as well as the cooking results, are significantly
influenced by the structure and material of the cookware.
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for induction
cooktops. The cookware used for the induction cooktop
must be made of metal, feature magnetic properties and
possess an ample base.
Suitable cookware is made of:
XO stainless steel with a magnetisable base
XO enamelled steel
XO cast iron

i The BORA induction wok pan HIW1 is ideal for the
induction wok cooktop PKIW3 and is available as an
accessory.
XXPerform a magnet test if necessary. If a magnet sticks to the
base of the utensils, they are normally induction compatible.
XXPay attention to the cookware base. The base of the
cookware should not show any sign of curvature (exception:
wok cooktop PKIW3). Due to incorrect hob temperature
monitoring, this curvature may cause the cookware to
overheat. To avoid scratching the cooktop, the base of the
cookware must not have any sharp grooves or sharp edges.
XXPlace the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly onto the
glass ceramic.

4.4.1 How induction cooktops work
(PKFI3, PKI3, PKIW3)
An induction coil is located underneath an induction cooking
zone. If the cooking zone is switched on, this coil creates a
magnetic field that acts directly on the base of the pot thus
heating it up. The cooking zone is only indirectly heated up by
the heat emitted by the pot. Cooking zones with induction only
work if the cookware has a magnetisable base.
Induction automatically takes into account the size of the
cookware used which means that only the area in the cooking
zone covered by the base of the pot is heated up.
XXObserve the minimum pot base diameter (see table 4.7).
Power levels
The high power output of induction cooktops results in the very
quick heating up of cookware. In order to avoid burning food,
slight adjustment is needed in comparison to conventional cooking
systems when selecting the power level.

Suitable cookware
i The heating and heat-through times for the cookware
base, as well as the cooking results, are significantly
influenced by the structure and material of the cookware.
Cookware with this symbol is suitable for radiant heating
elements. The cookware used for radiant heating
surfaces must be metal and have good heat conducting
properties.
Suitable cookware is made of:
XO stainless steel, copper or aluminium
XO enamelled steel
XO cast iron
XXPay attention to the cookware base. The bottom of the
cookware should not show any sign of curvature. Due to
incorrect hob temperature monitoring, this curvature may
cause the cookware to overheat. To avoid scratching the
cooktop, the base of the cookware must not have any sharp
grooves or sharp edges.
XXPlace the cookware (without a mat or similar) directly onto the
glass ceramic.
4.4.3 How the Tepan stainless steel grill PKT3
works
Under each grilling zone there is a heating element. When a
grilling zone is switched on, the heating element generates heat
that directly heats the grill surface.
Power adjustment and temperature ranges
The power is adjusted via temperature ranges that are shown in
the operating panel display in °C (temperature indicator).

Tab. 4.9 Tepan stainless steel grill temperatures
The power output of the Tepan stainless steel grill heats food
extremely quickly. A slight adjustment is needed in comparison
to conventional cooking systems when selecting the temperature
in order to avoid burning food.
Noises
The following noises may occur in the cookware when using
induction cooking zones, depending on the material and the
finish of the base:
XO Humming may occur when using a high power level. This
decreases or disappears when the power level is decreased.
XO Crackling or whistling may occur due to cookware bases being
made of different materials (e.g. sandwich base).
XO Clicking sounds may occur during electronic switching
procedures, especially at low power levels.
XO Whirring may occur when the cooling fan is switched on. In
order to increase the service life of the electronic system,
the cooktop is equipped with a cooling fan. The cooling fan
switches on automatically if the cooktop is used intensively.
You will hear a whirring sound. The cooling fan may continue
running after the appliance has been switched off.
4.4.2 How the Hyper and HiLight cooktops
work (PKC3, PKCB3, PKCH3)
Under the cooking zone is a radiant heating element with a
heating tape. When the cooking zone is switched on, the heating
tape generates radiant heat, which radiates to the cooking zone
and heats it up.
