phases in the hob. Each phase has a
maximum electricity loading. If the
hob reaches the limit of maximum
available power within one phase, the
power of the cooking zones will be
automatically reduced.

7. HINTS AND TIPS
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
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.
• 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.
• In order to avoid scratches, do not
slide or rub the pot across the ceramic
glass.
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.
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.
• For both safety reasons and optimal
cooking results, do not use cookware
larger than indicated in "Cooking
zones specification". Avoid keeping
cookware close to the control panel
during the cooking session. This
might impact the functioning of the
control panel or accidentally activate
hob functions.
Refer to "Technical data".
Steam Vented Lids
To further optimize the cooking sessions
alongside the hood you can use the
special Steam Vented Lids with your
cookware. The lids are designed to direct
the steam produced inside the pot
towards the hood, minimizing unwanted
cooking smells and excessive humidity in
the kitchen. The lids are available to buy
separately in several sizes to fit most
common cookware types. For more
information visit our website.

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.

7.5 Hints and Tips for the hood
• The grid covering the hood is made of
aluminium and stainless steel. You
can put pots on it while the hood is
not operating. It will not cause any
damage.
• When AUTO mode operates, the fan
starts at a low speed at the beginning
of each cooking session. The speed
increases gradually. You can also
adjust the speed of the fan manually.
• In case of exhaust installation you
have to install a window switch. You
need to buy it separately as it is not
supplied with the hood. The window
switch has to be installed by an
authorised technician. Refer to the
installation booklet.
8. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
8.1 General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with a clean
base.
• Scratches or dark stains on the
surface have no effect on how the hob
operates.
• Use a special cleaner suitable for the
surface of the hob.
• Use a special scraper for the glass.
8.2 Cleaning the hob
•Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, salt, sugar and food with
sugar, otherwise, the dirt can cause
damage to the hob. Take care to
avoid burns. Use a special hob
scraper on the glass surface at an
acute angle and move the blade on
the surface.
•Remove when the hob is
sufficiently cool: limescale rings,
water rings, fat stains, shiny metallic
discoloration. Clean the hob with a
moist cloth and a non-abrasive
detergent. After cleaning, wipe the
hob dry with a soft cloth.
•Remove shiny metallic
discoloration: use a solution of water
with vinegar and clean the glass
surface with a cloth.
8.3 Cleaning the hood
Grid
The grid drives the air into the hood.
Additionally, it protects the hood system
and prevents foreign objects from falling
inside by accident. You can wash the
grid manually or in a dishwasher.
Water tank
There is a water tank located under the
hood. It collects the condensation
created during each cooking process.
Remember to empty the water tank
regularly. To open the water tank, slide
the latches out and open them one by
