to a door or under a window. This
prevents hot cookware falling from the
appliance when the door or the
window is opened.
• Each appliance has cooling fans on
the bottom.
• If the appliance is installed above a
drawer:
– Do not store any small pieces or
sheets of paper that could be
pulled in, as they can damage the
cooling fans or impair the cooling
system.
– Keep a distance of minimum 2 cm
between the bottom of the
appliance and parts stored in the
drawer.
• Remove any separator panels
installed in the cabinet below the
appliance.
2.2 Electrical Connection
WARNING!
Risk of fire and electric
shock.
• All electrical connections should be
made by a qualified electrician.
• The appliance must be earthed.
• Before carrying out any operation
make sure that the appliance is
disconnected from the power supply.
• Make sure that the parameters on the
rating plate are compatible with the
electrical ratings of the mains power
supply.
• Make sure the appliance is installed
correctly. Loose and incorrect
electricity mains cable or plug (if
applicable) can make the terminal
become too hot.
• Use the correct electricity mains
cable.
• Do not let the electricity mains cable
tangle.
• Make sure that a shock protection is
installed.
• Use the strain relief clamp on the
cable.
• Make sure the mains cable or plug (if
applicable) does not touch the hot
appliance or hot cookware, when you
connect the appliance to the near
sockets.
• Do not use multi-plug adapters and
extension cables.
• Make sure not to cause damage to
the mains plug (if applicable) or to the
mains cable. Contact our Authorised
Service Centre or an electrician to
change a damaged mains cable.
• The shock protection of live and
insulated parts must be fastened in
such a way that it cannot be removed
without tools.

of the cookware.
5. DAILY USE
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
5.1 Activating and deactivating
Touch for 1 second to activate or

hob for 50 seconds,
• you do not set the heat setting for 50
seconds after you place the
cookware,
• you spill something or put something
on the control panel for more than 10
seconds (a pan, a cloth). When you
hear the acoustic signal, the hob
deactivates. Remove the object or
clean the control panel.
• the hob gets too hot (e.g. when a
saucepan boils dry). Let the cooking
ENGLISH 9

zone cool down before you use the
hob again.
• you do not deactivate a cooking zone
or change the heat setting. After some
time, the hob deactivates.

remove the pot. The control bar blinks for
the second half of that time. If you place
the pot on the cooking zone again within
this time, the heat setting reactivates.
Otherwise the cooking zone deactivates.
5.5 Power management
function
• Cooking zones are grouped according
to the location and number of the
phases in the hob. See the illustration.

electricity loading of 3680 W.
• The function divides the power
between cooking zones connected to
the same phase.
• The function activates when the total
electricity loading of the cooking
zones connected to a single phase
exceeds 3680 W.
• The function decreases the power of
the other cooking zones connected to
the same phase.
• For cooking zones that have a
reduced power, the control panel
shows the maximum possible heat
settings.
• If a higher heat setting is not available
reduce it for the other cooking zones
first.
• The activation of the function depends
on the number and size of pots.

WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
6.1 FlexiBridge function
The flexible induction cooking area
consists of four sections. The sections
can be combined into two cooking zones
with different size, or into one large
cooking area. The sides of the zones
which operate together light up, and they
are linked with shorter illuminated lines.
You choose the combination of the
sections by choosing the mode
applicable to the size of the cookware
you want to use. There are three modes:
Standard (activated automatically when
you activate the hob), Big Bridge and
Max Bridge.
To set the heat setting use
two left side control bars.
Switching between the modes
To switch between the modes use
sensor field: .
ENGLISH 13

When you switch between
the modes the heat setting is
set back to 0.
Diameter and position of the
cookware
Choose the mode applicable to the size
and the shape of the cookware. The
cookware should cover the selected area
as much as possible. Place the
cookware centrally on the selected area!
Place the cookware with the bottom
diameter smaller than 160 mm centrally
on a single section.
100-160mm
Place the cookware with the bottom
diameter larger then 160 mm centrally
between two sections.

6.5 PowerSlide
This function allows you to adjust the
temperature by moving the cookware to
a different position on the induction
cooking area.
The function divides the induction
cooking area into three areas with
different heat settings. The hob detects
the position of the cookware and adjust
the heat setting corresponding with the
position. You can place the cookware in
the front, middle or rear position. If you
place the cookware in the front you get
the highest heat setting. To decrease it,
move the cookware to middle or rear
position.
Use only one pot when you
operate the function.
If you want to change the
heat setting, lift up the
cookware and place it on a
different zone. Sliding the
cookware can cause
scratches and discolouration
of the surface.
• 160 mm is the minimum bottom
diameter of the cookware for this
function.
• If you place the pot in the front
position, lights up on the control
panel. The control bar displays the
default heat setting .
• If you place the pot in the middle
position, lights up on the control
panel. The control bar displays the
default heat setting .
• If you place the pot in the rear
position, lights up on the control
panel. The control bar displays the
default heat setting .
• To change the default heat setting

bar displays the default heat setting.
To deactivate the function, touch .
7. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
www.electrolux.com16

7.1 Cookware
For induction cooking zones
a strong electro-magnetic
field creates the heat in the
cookware very quickly.
Use the induction cooking
zones with suitable
cookware.
Cookware material
•correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled
steel, stainless steel, multi-layer
bottom (with a correct marking from a
manufacturer).
•not correct: aluminium, copper,
brass, glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is suitable for an induction
hob if:
• water boils very quickly on a zone set
to the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
The bottom of the cookware
must be as thick and flat as
possible.
Ensure pan bases are clean
and dry before placing on
the hob surface.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the
dimension of the bottom of the cookware
automatically.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to
the diameter of the cookware. The
cookware with a diameter smaller than
the minimum receives only a part of the
power generated by the cooking zone.
Refer to "Technical data".
7.2 The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of
different materials (a sandwich
construction).
• whistle sound: you use a cooking
zone with a high power level and the
cookware is made of different
materials (a sandwich construction).
• humming: you use a high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not
indicate any malfunction.
7.3 Öko Timer (Eco Timer)
To save energy, the heater of the
cooking zone deactivates before the
count down timer sounds. The difference
in the operation time depends on the
heat setting level and the length of the
cooking operation.
7.4 Examples of cooking
applications
The correlation between the heat setting
of a zone and its consumption of power
is not linear. When you increase the heat
setting, it is not proportional to the
increase of the consumption of power. It
means that a cooking zone with the
medium heat setting uses less than a
half of its power.
The data in the table is for
guidance only.
