Special notes on induction cooking zones
- Scienti ic investigations have shown that an in luence on or endan-gering o patients with
implanted heart pace makers by AEG induc-tion cooking zones are normally not to be expected.
The distance between the trunk and the cooking zone should howe-ver never be less than 30 cm!
- Electromagnetic ields can in luence electronic circuits and inter ere with transistor radios.
- Do not put magnetically rechargable objects (e.g. credit cards, casset-tes etc.) on the glass
ceramic sur ace while the induction cooking zone(s) is (are) in use!
- Do not put any metallic objects (e.g. spoons, pan lids etc.) on the induction sur ace, since they can
be warmed up when the induction sur ace is in use.
Certain cooking pots may produce some noise during cooking on induction cooking zones. This,
however, is no mal unction o the cooking zone and this does not a ect the unction in any way.

How to avoid damaging our appliance
- Do not use the cooking sur ace as a work sur ace or or storage.
- Do not use the cooking zones with empty pots and pans.
- Glass ceramic is insensitive to temperature shock and very robust, however it is not unbreakable.
Especially sharp and hard objects that all on the cooking sur ace can damage it.
- Do not use pans with damaged bases that are rough and have burrs. Scratching may occur when
the pans are slid.
- Do not place any pans on the cooking sur ace rame. Scratching may occur or the paint damaged.
- Make sure that no acidic liquids, e.g. vinegar, lemon or descaling agents are spilt onto the rame o
the cooking sur ace, since these cause matte spots.
- I sugar or a preparation with sugar comes into contact with the hot cooking zone and melts there it
must be cleaned o immediately with a scraper while it is still hot. I it cools, damage to the sur ace
may occur on removal.
- Keep all items and materials that can melt away rom the glass cera-mic sur ace, e.g. plastics,
aluminium oil, or oven oils. I something o this nature should melt onto the glass ceramic sur ace,
it must also be removed immediately using the scraper.
- Avoid boiling pans dry. The bases could be irreparably damaged in the process and the glass
ceramic cooking sur ace also damaged.
Appliance description
Function and the wa the induction cooking zone works
A copper wire induction coil is beneath the glass ceramic cooking sur ace. This generates
electromagnetic ields, which act directly on the base o the pots and pans and not, as with other heating
up methods, irst heat up the glass ceramic. This means that the base of the pan is immediately heated
up, which saves time and energy. Since the heat required or cooking is generated directly in the base o
the pan the cooking zone itsel hardly warms up. It only receives the re lected heat rom the pan base.
Note:
If there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone there is no energ transfer (heating up) and thereb
absolute securit against acci-dental switching on.
For technical reasons it is necessary that a cooling blower operates
when the induction cooking zone is on.

Suitable kitchenware for induction cooking zones
Pots and Pans
- In principle all pots and pans with magnetic bases are suitable. These are steel, steel-enamel as
well as cast-iron pots and pans.
- High grade steel pans with a mixed metal base (sandwich base, e.g. Te al with an aluminium/
copper base) are suitable or induction only i the manu acturer has expressly marked them as
such. In that case they have a erromagnetic percentage in the base.
- I you wish to use a special type o pan (e.g. a pressure cooker, sim-mering pan, wok, etc.), please
observe the manu acturers instruc-tions.
- Aluminium, copper, brass, stainless steel pots and pans (unless especi-ally designated as suitale
or induction), glass, ceramic or porcelain are not suitable or induction cooking zones. The
cooking zone reacts as i it were being used without a pot or pan: Error code .
Look for the label: Suitable for induction!
Suitability Test
I you are not sure i a pot or pan is suitable or cooking or rying on
the induction cooking zone you can check this as ollows:
- Place a pot illed with a little water (3-5 mm illing height) on the cooking zone. Switch the cooking
zone to ull power (switch setting 9).
Caution: The pan base of suitable kitchenware heats up within a few seconds!
- You can also check this with a magnet. I it remains ixed to the base the pan is suitable or
induction cooking zones.

TSE-N 05.00 A. B. 599 50 82 27 EN
Pan size
Up to a certain limit the induction cooking zone adapts itsel to the size o the pan base diameter.
However, the pan base diameter must be o a minimum size, depending on the size o the cooking zone.
For example: Diameter of the cooking zone 14,5 cm
For example: Diameter o the pan base at least 12 cm
For example: Diameter of the cooking zone 18 cm
For example: Diameter o the pan base at least 14,5 cm
For example: Diameter of the cooking zone 21 cm
For example: Diameter o the pan base at least 18 cm
Note:
Please note the diameter of the pan base when buying new pans, since the manu acturers usually
speci y the top edge diameter o their pans.
Automatic pan sensing
The induction cooking zone does not unction when unsuitable pans are used.
If the cooking zone is switched on without a suitable pan on it flashes in the digital displa of
the cooking zone.
A ter about 10 minutes the cooking zone switches itsel o automati- cally. appears in the digital
display.
Also when overheating occurs (e.g. heating up a pan cooked empty) or with aults in the electronics the
display is lit. The cooking zone switches itsel o automatically.
To be able to switch it on again the cooking zone must have been irst switched o and then set to the
required stage anew.
Pots and pans for rapid-glowing standard cooking zones (Hob C67600M)
- On principle all pots and pans with level bases are suitable or radiant heat cooking zones. You
can recognise good quality pans by the base o the pan, and not rom the material rom which the
pan is made.
- The base should be as thick and lat as possible. Rough bases (e.g. cast iron pots) scratch the hob
sur aces when they are slid about.
- Pots with aluminium or copper bases can cause metallic discolouring on the glass ceramic sur ace,
which is very di icult or impossible to remove.
- The saucepan base and cooking zone should be the same size.
Attention! Avoid letting enamel saucepans and rying pans boil dry. The base could be damaged and
then scratch the cooking sur ace when slid. Saucepans and rying pans with sharp edges and burrs will
also scratch.

Energy saving tips
- Always place pans on the cooking zone be ore switching on.
- Ensure that the pots and pans are in the centre o the cooking zone and cover the heated/marked
sur ace.
- Dirty cooking zones and pan bases damage the glass ceramic cooking sur ace and increase
electricity consumption.
- Switch the cooking zone o be ore cooking is inished to use the residual heat.
- Cooking times are reduced by up to 50%. Not only do you save energy, but more vitamins and
minerals are retained.

cooking.
3. To stop cooking, turn back to the zero position.
Note:
When cooking with the induction cooking zone you should take into account that
- the heating up times are reduced by the direct energy trans er to the pan!
- the cooking process stops immediately a ter the cooking zone is swit-ched o (no boiling over!).

Cooking with automatic heating up
This automatic eature operates at its ull capacity ( ) or a given time and then automatically switches
down to the set urther cooking stage. The duration o the automatic heating up boost depends on the
selected urther cooking stage.
1. Turn the cooking zone switch to the right to the stop . In the cooking stage display o the cooker

cooking zone.
2. Then you must turn back to the required urther cooking stage ( 1 to 8 ). This is shown in the
cooking stage display o the cooker. is still lit in the digital display o the cooking zone.
The digital display changes to the relevant digit as soon as the selected urther cooking stage is
active 1 to 8 (in the example ).
Tips on cooking with or without the automatic feature
We recommend the automatic heating up feature for:
- dishes that are put on cold, heated up with a high capacity and do not have to be supervised
constantly during the urther cooking stage.
- or dishes put into a hot pan.
The automatic feature is not suitable for:
- Goulash, bee olive and similar braised dishes which are browned, moistened and braised until
they reach the right degree o browning and are then cooked until done.
- Dumplings, pasta dishes cooked in a great deal o liquid.
- Cooking in pressure cookers
- Large quantities o soups/stews with more than 2 l liquid.

Cleaning and care
Advantages for cleaning and caring for the induction cooking zone
The cleaning e ort or induction glass ceramic cooking sur aces is
considerably less than or cooking sur aces with radiant heating:
- The induction cooking zone reacts aster to switching down and o . Boiling over and burning in o
dishes is avoided to a large degree.
- The temperaturs on the glass ceramic sur ace are clearly lower with inductive cooking than with
the conventional radiant heating systems.
Since the heat is generated in the pan, ood or oodstu s possibly on the glass ceramic sur ace are not
burnt in as badly.
Glass ceramic cooking surface
It is important to clean the cooking sur ace a ter every use!
Attention! Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as, or example, coarse scouring cleaners or
scratching scouring pads.
Always clean the cooking sur ace when it is only a little dirty. Use a damp cloth and a little washing up
liquid. Then rub the cooking sur ace dry with a clean cloth. Remnants o cleaner must not be le t on the
sur ace.
Clean the entire cooking sur ace thoroughly once a week. For cleaning use Sidol-Edelstahlglanz,
Stahl-Fix, WK-Top or Cillit.
Then rinse the entire cooking sur ace with plain water and rub it dry
with a clean cloth. Please ensure that no residues (cleaner) remain on the sur ace. The coo-king
sur ace would otherwise be damaged!

TSE-N 05.00 A. B. 599 50 82 27 EN
Problem dirt
Residues from food t at as boiled over
First so ten these using a wet cloth and then remove residues using a glass or
razor blade scraper.
Danger! Take care not hurt yoursel !
Then clean the cooking sur ace with the clea-ners identi ied above.
Burnt-in sugar, melted plastic you must remove immediately  while it is
still warm (not hot)  with a glass scraper otherwise damage can be incurred.
Then clean the cooking sur ace normally. You can prevent damages by sugar
or sugar-containing oods by caring or the cooking sur ace with Collo-Pro i or
Cera- ix.
Spots
Limescale stains, mother-o -pearl-like shiny stains, metallic iridiscent
discolourations, pan abrasions that have ormed during coo-king can be
removed best while the cooking zones are still warm. Use one o the cleaners
mentioned above. I necessary repeat the cleaning process.
Danger!
Do not put vinegar, lemons or scale remo-vers on the hob rame, they will
make the sur ace matt. Grains o sand that have allen on the coo-king
sur ace can cause scratches when the pans are slid around. Ensure, there ore,
that no grains o sand remain on the cooking sur ace.
Abraded decor
In time the decor is abraded by the use o aggressive cleaners and scouring
pan bases and dark stains develop.
You can obtain suitable cleaning and caring agents as well as glass
scrapers from the AEG customer service.

Additional information for the ser ice
Cooktop assembl
- The cooktop assembly con orms to the system o the New Range, i.e. the cooktop rame and the
cooktop glass are two separate parts and not stuck with each other.
- A ter disassembling the cooktop take care that the 7-segment display and, with the sel -su icient
built-in cooktops, the control panel are not in the cooktop cover, but is clipped to the cooktop glass
rom below.
Cooktop technolog
- With the two old induction, the induction hot plates are ront right and le t, not laterally one a ter the
other as with the previous version. The induction module is a two old module.
- With the our old induction, the induction module consists o a block o our.
- With this new series o induction cooktops there are no test points to check the electronic in case
o a mal unction. That means, i the reason or a hot plate, which does not unction, is to be ound
in a mal unction o the electronic, the only solution is to exchange the module or, with sel -su icient
built-in cooktops, to exchange the control panel. The modules can also not be checked with the
help o a test routine.
Compatibilit
- The induction cooktops can only be combined with ranges which are equipped with an ERM (mo-
dular energy regulator), rom range series Compentence 2000 onward, classes Top and Com ort.
- Concerning the compatibility o the control lines, these are directly compatible rom Century
onward. With the previous range series Competence, the control line is equipped with an adaptor.
