What you should pay attention to
Induction cooking is extremely safe. Various safety devices have
been incorporated in the hob such as a residual heat indicator
and a cooking time limiter. There are nevertheless a number of
precautions you should take.
Connection and repair
• This appliance may only be connected by a qualifi ed installer.
• Never open the casing. The casing may only be opened by the
service technician.
• Disconnect the electricity from the appliance before starting
any repair work Preferably unplug the appliance, switch
the (automatic) fuse(s) off or, in the event of a permanent
connection, set the switch in the power supply lead to zero.
During use
• Do not use the hob in temperatures below 5°C.
• This cooking appliance is designed for household use. It is to
be used for food preparation only.
• When you use the hob for the fi rst time you will notice a “new
smell”. This is normal. If the kitchen is well ventilated the smell
will soon disappear.
• Remember that if the hob is used on a high setting the heating
time will be incredibly short. Do not leave the hob unattended if
you are using a zone on a high setting.
• Ensure there is adequate ventilation while the hob is in use.
Keep all natural ventilation openings open
• Do not allow pans to boil dry. The hob itself is protected
against overheating but the pan will get very hot indeed
and could be damaged. The guarantee does not cover any
damage caused by a pan boiling dry.
• Do not use the cooking area as storage space
• Ensure that there is several centimetres clearance between
the hob and the contents of the drawer.
• Do not keep anything combustible in the drawer under the
hob.
• Make sure that fl exes of electrical appliances, such as a mixer,
cannot touch the hot cooking zone.
• The zones heat up during use and stay hot for a while
afterwards. Keep young children away from the hob during
and immediately after cooking.
• Grease and oil are infl ammable when overheated. Do not
stand too close to the pan. Should oil catch fi re, never try to
extinguish the fi re with water. Put a lid on the pan immediately
and switch the cooking zone off.
• Never fl ambé food under the cooker hood. The high fl ames
could cause a fi re, even if the cooker hood is switched off.

• The ceramic top is extremely strong, but not unbreakable.
A spice jar or pointed utensil falling on it, for example, could
cause it to break.
• Stop using the hob if a break or crack appears. Switch the
appliance off immediately, unplug it to avoid electric shocks,
and call the service department.
• Never put any metal objects such as baking trays, biscuit tins,
saucepan lids or cutlery on the cooking zone. These can heat
up extremely quickly and cause burns.
• Keep magnetizable objects (credit cards, bank cards, fl oppy
disks, etc.) away from the appliance. We advise anyone with
a pacemaker to consult their cardiologist before using an
induction hob.
• Never use a pressure cleaner or steam cleaner to clean the
hob.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• As soon as you remove the pan from the hob, the cooking
zone automatically stops. Accustom yourself to stop the
cooking zone or hob manually to avoid unintended switching
on of the induction hob.
• A small object like a pan that is too small (diameter of bottom
smaller than 12 cm), a fork or a knife will not be recognised by
the appliance. The display continues to fl ash and the hob will
not switch on.
• The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an
external timer or separate remote-control system.
Temperature safety
• A sensor continuously measures the temperature of certain
parts of the hob. Every cooking zone is equipped with a
sensor that measures the temperature of the bottom of the
pan to avoid any risk of overheating when a pan boils dry. In
case of temperatures rising too high, the power is reduced
automatically.

Cooking-time limiter
The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your cooking
appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch off your hob.
Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will
be limited as follows:
Setting The cooking zone switches
automatically off after:
0 12 hours
1 8,5 hours
2 6,5 hours
3 5 hours
4 4 hours
5 3,5 hours
6 3 hours
7 2,5 hours
8 2 hours
9 1,5 hours
u 2 hours
U 2 hours
The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off if the
time in the table has elapsed.
Setting The cooking zone switches
automatically to setting 9 after:
boost (P) 10 minutes

454509
Using the touch controls
The touch controls may take some getting used to if you are
used to other (rotary) controls. Place the tip of your fi nger fl at on
the control to achieve the best results. You do not have to apply
any pressure.
The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a fi ngertip.
Do not operate the controls with any other objects. The hob will
not switch on when your pet walks over it.
Induction cooking
• Induction cooking is fast
- To start you will be surprised by the speed of induction
cooking. Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will
boil very rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to
avoid them boiling over or boiling dry.
• The power will be adjusted
- In the case of induction cooking, it is only the part of the
zone on which the pan stands that is used. If you use a
small pan on a large zone, the power will be adjusted to the
diameter of the pan. The power will thus be lower and it will
take longer before the food in the pan comes to the boil.
Attention
Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot
be removed. Only put pans with a clean base on the
cooking surface and always pick pans up to move
them.
Do not use the hob as a worktop. Always keep the lid
on the pan when cooking, in order to avoid energy
loss.
No heat loss and cold handles with
induction cooking.
11
Use
Getting used to it...

454509
Induction cooking
A magnetic fi eld is generated in the appliance. By placing a
pan with an iron base on a cooking zone, a current is induced in
the pan base. This induced current generates heat in the base of
the pan.
• Easy
- The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the
lowest setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for
example, or cook ingredients that you would normally heat
in a bain-marie.
• Fast
- Thanks to the induction hob’s high power levels, bringing
food to the boil is very quick. Cooking food through takes
just as long as for other types of cooking.
• Clean
- The hob is easy to clean. Because the cooking zones do not
get any hotter than the pans themselves, food spills cannot
burn on.
• Safe
- The heat is generated in the pan itself. The glass top does
not get any warmer than the pan. This means that the
cooking zone is considerable cooler compared to that from
a Ceramic hob or a gasburner. Once a pan has been taken
away, the cooking zone cools down quickly.
Pans for induction cooking
Induction cooking requires a particular quality of pan.
Attention
Pans that have already been used for cooking on a
gas hob are no longer suitable for use on an induction
hob.
Only use pans that are suitable for electric and
induction cooking with:
• a thick base (minimum 2.25 mm)
• a fl at base.
The best are pans with the ‘Class Induction’ quality
mark.
The coil (1) in the hob (2) generates
a magnetic fi eld (3). By placing a
pan with an iron base (4) on the coil,
a current is induced in the base of
the pan.
Pans
12

454509
Tip
You can check for yourself whether your pans are
suitable using a magnet. A pan is suitable if the base
of the pan is attracted by the magnet.
Suitable Unsuitable
Special stainlesssteel pans Earthenware
Class Induction Stainless steel
Hard-wearing enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
Plastic
Aluminium
Attention
Be careful with enamelled sheet-steel pans:
• the enamel may chip (the enamel comes loose from
the steel), if you switch the hob on at a high setting
when the pan is (too) dry;
• the base of the pan may warp - due, for example, to
overheating or to the use of too high a power level.
Attention
Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded
base can interfere with the operation of the overheating
protection, so that the appliance becomes too hot. This may lead
to the glass top cracking and the pan base melting. Damage
arising from the use of unsuitable pans or from boiling dry is
excluded from the guarantee.
Cooking zone Minimum pan diameter
145 mm 120 mm
180 mm 145 mm
210 mm 145 mm
180x280 mm »oval« 180 mm
Minimum pan diameter
• The diameter of a pan must be at least 12 cm. You
will achieve the best results by using a pan with the
same diameter as the zone. If a pan is too small the
zone will not work.
Pressure cookers
• Induction cooking is very suitable for cooking in
pressure cookers. The cooking zone reacts very
quickly, and so the pressure cooker is quickly up to
pressure. As soon as you switch a cooking zone off,
the cooking process stops immediately.
13

454509
Switching on the hob and setting the power
The power has 9 settings. There is also a ‘boost’ setting, which is
indicated by a ‘P.’ in the display.
1. Put a pan on a cooking zone.
2 Touch the on/off sensor key .You will hear a short beep
and the display for each cooking zone will read zero (“0”). If
no sensor key is touched within ten seconds after switching
on the cooking hob, the cooking zone will be automatically
switched back off.
3. Slide your fi nger across the slider, from left to right, to select
the desired setting. The cooking zone will automatically start
operating with the set power (if a piece of cookware with
suffi ciently large diameter is perceived on the cooking zone).
Tip
In order to set the cooking power faster, simply press
on a point on the slider towards the right (or towards
the left, if you wish to decrease the power).
• Pan detection
- If the hob does not detect a (ferrous) pan after the cooking
power has been set, the pan detection symbol and the
selected power setting will fl ash alternately on the display
and the hob will remain cold. If a (ferrous) pan is not placed
on the cooking zone within 10 minute, the cooking zone will
automatically switch off.
• Residual warmth indicator
- A cooking zone that has been used intensively will retain
heat for several minutes after it has been switched off. An
'H.' appears in the display as long as the cooking zone is
hot.
