glass ceramic, and only clean the hob when
it is cold.
Blisters or fractures in
the glass
Knocks or falling cookware, cooking ac-
cessories or other hard or pointed objects.
When cooking, do not hit the glass or let ob-
jects fall onto the hob.
Scratches, discolour-
ation
Rough cookware bases or moving the cook-
ware on the hob.
Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when
moving it.
Scratches Salt, sugar or sand. Do not use the hob as a work surface or
storage space.
Damage to the appli-
ance
Cooking with frozen cookware. Never use frozen cookware.
Damage to the cook-
ware or the appliance
Cooking without contents. Never place or heat empty cookware on a
hot cooking zone.
Glass damage Melted material on the hot cooking zone or
hot pot lid on the glass.
Do not place greaseproof paper or alu-
minium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids

3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
▶Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Only preheat the appliance if the recipe or the recom-
mended settings tell you to do so.
¡Not preheating the appliance can reduce the en-
ergy used by up to 20%.
Use dark-coloured, black-coated or enamelled baking
tins.
¡These types of baking tin absorb the heat particu-
larly well.
Open the appliance door as little as possible during
operation.
¡This maintains the temperature in the cooking com-
partment and eliminates the need for the appliance
to reheat.
When baking multiple dishes, do so in succession or
in parallel.
¡The cooking compartment is heated after baking
the first dish. This reduces the baking time for the
second cake.
If the cooking time is relatively long, you can switch
the appliance off 10minutes before the cooking time
ends.
¡There will be enough residual heat to finish cooking
the dish.
Remove any accessories that are not being used from
the cooking compartment.
¡Accessories that are not being used do not need to
be heated.
Allow frozen food to defrost before cooking.
¡This saves the energy that would otherwise be re-
quired to defrost it.
Note:
The appliance requires:
¡A maximum of 1W when the appliance is in opera-
tion with the display switched on
¡A maximum of 0.5W when the appliance is in oper-
ation with the display switched off
Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Select the cooking zone to match the size of your
pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-
meter as the hotplate.
Tip:Cookware manufacturers often give the upper
diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the
base diameter.
¡Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
¡Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
¡When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid.
¡You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it.
Use pots and pans with flat bases.
¡Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
¡Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water.
¡The more water that is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on.
¡If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be
found on the attached appliance pass and online on
the product page for your appliance.
4 Induction cooking
4.1 Advantages of induction cooking
Induction cooking is fundamentally different from tradi-
tional cooking methods, since the heat builds up dir-
ectly in the cookware. This offers numerous advant-
ages:
¡Saves time when boiling and frying.
¡Saves energy.
¡Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not
burn on as quickly.
¡Controlling the heat supply and safety; the hob in-
creases or decreases the heat supply as soon as
the user changes the setting. The induction cooking
zone stops the heat supply if you remove the cook-
ware from the cooking zone without you having to
switch it off first.
4.2 Cookware
Only ferromagnetic cookware is suitable for induction
cooking.
For example:
¡Enamelled steel cookware
¡Cast iron cookware
¡Special stainless steel cookware that is suitable for
induction cooking

Induction cooking en
9
You can find additional information on which items of
cookware are suitable for the induction cooking under
→"Checking the cookware", Page23
In order to achieve a good cooking result, ensure that
the ferromagnetic area of the cookware base corres-
ponds to the size of the cooking zone. If the cookware
is not detected on a cooking zone, place it on a cook-
ing zone with a smaller diameter.
The base of many items of induction cookware is not
fully ferromagnetic:
If you use large cookware with a smaller ferromagnetic
base, only the area that is ferromagnetic heats up. As a
result, the heat is not distributed evenly. The temperat-
ure of the non-ferromagnetic area may therefore be too
low for cooking.
Cookware bases that contain aluminium reduce the fer-
romagnetic area. This may reduce the output and the
cookware will not be detected sufficiently or at all, and
will therefore not be heated sufficiently.
Unsuitable cookware
Never use flow plates or cookware made of the follow-
ing:
¡Thin-walled normal steel
¡Glass
¡Clay
¡Copper
¡Aluminium
Composition of the cookware base
The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is
made can affect the cooking result. Cookware made of
materials that distribute heat evenly in the pot, such as
saucepans with a stainless steel sandwich base, save
time and energy.
You should preferably use cookware with a flat base
because uneven cookware bases impair the heat sup-
ply.
No cookware/cookware of an unsuitable size
If you do not place cookware on the selected cooking
zone or the cookware is made of an unsuitable mater-
ial or is not the right size for the cooking zone, the dis-
play for the cooking zone flashes. To make the display
go out, place a suitable item of cookware on the cook-
ing zone. If you do not place a suitable item of cook-
ware on the cooking zone within 90 seconds, it auto-
matically switches off.
Empty cookware or cookware with a thin base
Do not heat empty cookware and do not use cookware
with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal
safety system. However, empty cookware may heat up
so quickly that the "Automatic switch-off" function does
not respond in good time and an excessive temperat-
ure is reached. As a result, the base of the cookware
may melt and damage the glass plate. In this case, do
not touch the cookware and switch off the cooking
zone. If the cooking zone no longer works after cooling
down, contact the technical after-sales service.
Cookware detection
Each cooking zone has a minimum limit for the cook-
ware detection and this depends on the ferromagnetic
diameter and the material of the base of the cookware.
Therefore, use the cooking zone that best corresponds
to the diameter of the pan base.
