2 Avoiding material damage
This is where you can find the most common causes of damage and tips on how to avoid them.
Damage Cause Measure
Stains Unsupervised cooking process. Monitor the cooking process.
Stains, blisters Spilled food, especially food with a high
sugar content.
Remove immediately with a glass scraper.
Stains, blisters or
fractures in the glass
Defective cookware, cookware with melted
enamel or cookware with copper or alu-
minium base.
Use suitable cookware that is in a good con-
dition.
Stains, discolouration Unsuitable cleaning methods. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for
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
on the hob.
Overheating Hot cookware on the control panel or on the
frame.
Never place hot cookware on these areas.

Environmental protection and saving energy en
5
ATTENTION!
A fan is located on the underside of this hob.
▶If a drawer is located on the underside of the hob,
do not store any small or pointed objects, paper or
tea towels in it. These objects may be sucked in
and damage the fan or impair the cooling.
▶There must be a clearance of at least 2cm between
the contents of the drawer and the fan entry point.
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.
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 Suitable cookware
Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must
have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by
a magnet. The base must also match the size of the
cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking
zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next
smallest diameter.
4.1 Size and characteristics of the cookware
To correctly detect the cookware, take the size and the
material of the cookware into consideration. All cook-
ware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth.
You can use Cookware test to check whether your
cookware is suitable. You can find more information
about this under
→"Cookware test", Page16.
Cookware Materials Properties
Recommended cook-
ware
Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich
design that distributes the heat well.
This cookware distributes the heat evenly,
heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be
detected easily.
Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled
steel, cast iron or special induction cookware
made of stainless steel.
This cookware heats up quickly and ensures
that it can be detected easily.

en Suitable cookware
6
Suitable The base is not fully ferromagnetic. If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the
base of the cookware, only the area that is
ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat
is not distributed evenly.
Cookware bases with aluminium content. These reduce the ferromagnetic area, which
means that less power is emitted to the
cookware. This cookware may not be suffi-
ciently detected or may not be detected at
all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.
Not suitable Cookware made from normal thin steel,
glass, clay, copper or aluminium.
Notes
¡Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the
cookware.
¡Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use
cookware with a thin base, as this may become very
hot.

logy brings with it a series of changes and has a num-
ber of benefits such as time savings when cooking and
frying, energy savings as well as greater ease of clean-
ing and care. It also offers improved heat control as the
heat is generated directly in the cookware.
5.2 Control panel
Individual details, such as colour and shape, may differ
from the figure.

7.4 Cooking tips
¡When heating up puree, cream soups or thick
sauces, stir occasionally.
¡To preheat, set the power level 8-9.
¡When cooking with the lid on, reduce the power
level as soon as you see steam escaping. The
cooking result is not affected by the steam escap-
ing.
¡After cooking, place a lid on the cookware until you
serve the dish.
¡To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
¡Do not cook food for too long, otherwise nutrients
will be lost. The kitchen timer enables you to set the
optimal cooking time.
¡Ensure that the oil does not smoke.
¡To brown the food, fry it in small portions, one after
the other.
¡Some items of cookware may reach high temperat-
ures while the food is cooking. You should therefore
use oven gloves.
¡You can find recommendations for energy-efficient
cooking under

8 FlexInduction
The flexible cooking zone allows you to position cook-
ware of any shape or size any way you like. It consists
of four inductors that work independently of each other.
When the flexible cooking zone is in use, only the area
that is covered by cookware is activated.
8.1 Positioning the cookware
The flexible cooking zone can be configured in two
ways, depending on which cookware is used. In order
to guarantee good thermal detection and heat distribu-
tion, we recommend positioning the cookware in the
centre, as shown in the figures.
As a connected cooking zone
Recommended for cooking with just one item of cook-
ware.
¡Position the cookware depending on the size:
Ø ≤ 13 cm. Ø > 13 cm.
¡Recommended oblong cookware ⁠:
As two separate cooking zones
Recommended for cooking with two items of cook-
ware.
You can use the front and rear zone independently of
one another, and set a separate power level for each
zone.

14 PerfectFry Sensor
Suitable for cooking or reducing sauces, pancakes or
frying eggs with butter, for frying vegetables or steaks
up to the required level of boiling, and for keeping the
temperature under control.
Instead of frequently adjusting the power level during
cooking, select the required target temperature once at
the start. The sensors under the glass ceramic meas-
ure the temperature of the cookware and keep this
constant throughout the entire cooking process.
This function is available on all cooking zones marked
with this symbol ⁠.
14.1 Advantages
¡The temperature is automatically kept constant
without you having to change the power level.
¡Oil does not overheat. This prevents the food from
burning.
¡The cooking zone only continues heating for as long
as this is necessary to maintain the temperature.
This saves energy.

Notes

pliance. If you have connected your hob directly to
an extractor hood, both of these appliances cannot
receive these security updates. To ensure the safe
use of the appliance, we recommend connecting
both appliances to each other via HomeConnect
and installing these updates as soon as they are
provided. A HomeConnect account (which is free of
charge) is required for this.
¡Using the controls on the extractor hood always
takes priority. It is not possible to use the hob-based
hood control during this time.
¡In networked standby mode, the appliance requires
a maximum of2W.
¡You can only connect to the extractor hood via the
HomeConnect app. Other connection routes are no
longer supported.
