TABLE OF

386672
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.
• This appliance may only be connected by a qualified
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) o or, in the
event of a permanent connection, set the switch in the
power supply lead to zero.
• 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 first 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 flexes 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 inflammable when overheated. Do
not stand too close to the pan. Should oil catch fire,
never try to extinguish the fire with water. Put a lid on
the pan immediately and switch the cooking zone o.
• Never flambé food under the cooker hood. The high

flames could cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is
switched o.
• 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 o 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,
floppy 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
flash 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.
• 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.
The cooking-time limiter is a safety function of your
cooking appliance. It will operate if you forget to switch
o your hob.
Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking
time will be limited as follows:

Description

386672
Using touch sensors
The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a
fingertip.
You do not have to apply any pressure. 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.
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.

USE
Getting used to it...

386672
Induction cooking
Induction cooking hob heats the food using a magnetic
field. When a pan with ferromagnetic metal bottom is
placed on the hob, the magnetic field generates eddy
currents that heat up the pan.
Coil (1) in the induction hob (2)
generates magnetic field (3). When
a pan with ferromagnetic metal
bottom (4) is placed on the coil,
eddy currents are generated in the
pan bottom, which produce heat.
Simple
The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. For
example, on the lowest setting you can melt chocolate
directly in the pan 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.
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 flat base.
The best are pans with the ‘Class Induction’ quality
mark.
Pans
11

386672
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.
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.
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.
Suitable Unsuitable
Special stainlesssteel pans Earthenware
Class Induction Stainless steel
Hard-wearing enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper

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.

more towards the left will result in reduced power
setting).
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 flash alternately on the display,
while the hob remains cold. If an adequate ferrous pan
is not placed on the hotplate within 1 minute from the
commencement of flashing, the hotplate will automatically
switch o.
A hotplate that has been used intensively will retain heat
for several minutes after it has been switched o. A letter
Happears in the display as long as the relevant hotplate
is hot.
