power supply must be integrated into the permanent wiring and
comply with local regulations.
vThis fuse must be tested and have at least 3 mm clearance around all
poles (or around all active [phases] conductors, if provided for in the
regulations).
vThe fuse must be easily accessible.
vContact a specialist or the building supervisory authority, if you are
uncertain during the installation.
vThe worktop must be made of insulating and heat-resistant material
to prevent electric shocks and deformation caused by heat radiation.
Wood and similar fibrous or hygroscopic material must not be used
as a material for the worktop unless it is impregnated.
vThe worktop must be flat and level and nothing must protrude into
the work area.
vThe wall above the work surface, adjacent and surrounding surfaces,
and any adhesives used must be heat-resistant up to 100°C.
vIf the hob is installed above a drawer, furniture compartment, etc. or is
accessible from below, a thermal protection barrier must be fitted
below the base of the hob (see chapter of inserting the hob).
vUse surfaces that are easy to clean (e.g. ceramic tiles) as wall
surfaces around the cooking area.
vThe hob must not be installed on cooling equipment, dishwashers or
drum dryers.
vThe hob must be installed in such a way that proper heat radiation
can be ensured to ensure proper functioning.
vUnder any circumstances, make sure that the hob is well ventilated
and that the supply and air exhaust port is not blocked.
To do this, follow the instructions described in the following section.

2.2 How the induction hob works
Induction cooking is safe, advanced
and energy efficient.
The heat is generated directly in
the metal of the cookware by
electromagnetic vibrations and
not indirectly by heating the glass
surface.
The cooktop only becomes hot
because it is finally heated by the
cookware.
3Before use
Read this guide, taking special note of the Safety
instructions section.
Remove any protective film that may still be on your
induction hob.
Note: When the hob is used for the first time, production residues
may cause an odor and even some smoke to develop.
This is normal and harmless.
Keep the room well ventilated until these have disappeared (max. 30 min.).
3.1 Notes on using the touch controls
vThe controls respond to touch, so you don’t
need to apply any pressure.
vUse the finger pulp, not finger tip.
vYou will hear a beep each time.
vMake sure the controls are always clean, dry
and that there is no object (e.g. a utensil or a
cloth) covering them. Even a thin film of
water may make the controls difficult to
operate.

Before use
3.2 Choosing the right cookware and its use
Only use cookware suitable for induction operation. Pay
attention to the labelling when buying it.
As a reminder: magnetic cookware is also suitable for
induction.
15

EN
Note:
The proportion of magnetic metal particles varies with different
types of cookware. The higher the proportion, the more efficient
the heating and the better the automatic detection of the hob
for cookware (described in the following section).
Automatic detection of suitable cookware
Before use
The hob has an automatic recognition system for suitable cookware. If
no cookware suitable for induction is detected on a cooking zone, this
is indicated by the icon on the corresponding cooking zone display.
This can have the following reasons:
vThe cookware used is not suitable for induction.
vThe cookware was not placed on the selected cooking zone.
vThe cookware was not placed in the middle of the cooking zone.
vThe cookware is too small.
If no suitable cookware is detected, the operation of the
corresponding cooking zone will not start. After one
minute, it is automatically switched off.
Make sure that the base of your pan is smooth
and sits flat against the glass.
Do not use cookware with jagged edges or a
curved base.
Use cookware with a minimum base diameter
according to the following table.
For best efficiency, always place the cookware
in the middle of the cooking zone.
Always lift pans off the hob. Do not slide, or
they may scratch the glass.
Optimal cookware dimensions
The bottom of your cookware should have a certain minimum diameter
according to the cooking zone:
Base diameter of the cookware (mm)
