YOUR INDUCTION HOB
Introduction
This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. Cooking on an induction hob has
a number of advantages. It is easy, because the hob reacts quickly and can also be set to a very
low power level. Because, moreover, it can also be set to a high power level, it can bring dishes to
the boil very quickly. The ample space between the cooking zones makes cooking comfortable.
Cooking on an induction hob is different from cooking on a traditional appliance. Induction
cooking makes use of a magnetic field to generate heat. This means that you cannot use just
any pan on it. The pans section gives more information about this.
For optimum safety the induction hob is equipped with several temperature protections and
a residual heat indicator, which shows which cooking zones are still hot.
This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the induction hob. In addition
to information about operation, you will also find background information that can assist you in
using this product. You will also find cooking tables and maintenance tips.
Read the manual thorougly before using the appliance, and store these instructions in
a safe place for future reference.
The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians. Please, therefore,
stick the appliance identification card in the space provided, at the back of the manual.
The appliance identification card contains all the information that the service technician will
need in order to respond appropriately to your needs and questions.
Enjoy your cooking!

SAFETY
Before use, read the separate safety instructions first!
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 or the hob switches off 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 cooking level you
have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:

Healthy cooking
Burning point of different types of oil
To ensure your food is fried as healthily as possible, it’s recommended to choose the type of oil
according to the frying temperature. Each oil has a different burning point at which toxic gasses
are released. The below table shows the burning points for various types of oil.

Induction noises
A ticking sound
• This is caused by the capacity limiter on the left and right zones. Ticking can also occur at
lower cooking levels.
Pans are making noise
• Pans can make some noise during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from
the hob to the saucepan. At high levels, this is perfectly normal for some pans. It will not
damage either the pans or the hob.
The fan is making noise
• To enlarge the lifespan of the electronics, the appliance is equipped with a fan. If you use
the appliance intense, the fan is activated to cool down the appliance and you will hear
a buzzing sound. The fan runs on for several minutes after the hob has been switched off.
Pans
Always place a pan in the middle of a cooking zone. In linked mode always use a (fish) pan where
at least one of the centre/middle positions of the linked Bridge zones is covered.
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:
ൗG A thick base (minimum 2.25 mm);
ൗG A flat base.
• The best are pans with the ‘Class Induction’ quality mark.
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 stainless steel pans
Earthenware
Class Induction
Stainless steel
Hard-wearing enamelled pans
Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans
Copper /Aluminium
Plastic

USE
EN 9
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 level 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 the bottom of the pan must be at least 12 cm (11 cm for the ø 16 cm
cooking zone). 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.
• The length of a fish-pan (oval pan), used on the Bridge zones, must be at least 20 cm.
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.
Cooking power levels
The cooking zones have 9 levels, a keep warm level and a boost level (depending on the zone).
• Tap the plus (+) or minus (-) key of a cooking zone.
ൗG Tapping the plus (+) key starts the cooking at level ‘1’.
ൗG Tapping the minus (-) key starts the cooking at level ‘9’.
ൗG Tapping the minus (-) key and afterwards the plus (+) key starts the
cooking at Boost level.
• Use the plus (+) or the minus (-) key to choose the desired power level.
ൗG The cooking zone starts at the selected power level.
Keep-warm level
The keep-warm level is intended for keeping food warm that is already cooked.
• Touch the minus (-) or plus (+) key to select level 1
• Touch the minus (-) key to select the stay warm function. Symbol ‘u’ will appear in the
display.
Boost function
• You can use the ‘boost’ function to cook at the highest power level during a short period of
time (max.10 minutes). After the maximum boost time the power will be reduced to setting 9.
• Boost function is not available in Bridge zones linked mode!

USE
EN 10
Boost power management
• Due to the restricted power of the induction hob, the boost function can only be set on one
cooking zone simultaneously (for both left or right cooking zones). Both cooking zones can
be set to level 9. If one cooking zone is on the Boost level, the other cooking zone can be
set maximal to level 7/8.
ൗG The cooking zone, which is set to a lower power, will be flashing in the display.
Pan detection
If the hob does not detect a (ferrous) pan after the cooking level has been set, the pan detection
symbol flash in the display.
Cooking-timer/alarm
• A cooking-timer can be set for each cooking zone.
• The hob also has an alarm. Both the cooking-timer as well as the alarm can be set for a
maximum of 99 minutes.
• The alarm works in the same way as the cooking-timer, but is not linked to a cooking zone.
If the alarm has been set, it will continue counting down after the hob has been switched
off.
• The alarm can only be switched off when the hob is switched on.
Select the desired function:
1. Cooking-timer —the timer is linked to a cooking zone. After the set time has elapsed, the
cooking zone will switch off automatically.
2. Alarm —the alarm only beeps after the set time has elapsed.

MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Daily cleaning
• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless recommend you to clean
the hob immediately after use.
• Best for daily cleaning is a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent.
• Dry with kitchen paper or a dry teacloth.
Stubborn stains
• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent such as washing-up liquid.
• Remove watermarks and lime scale with vinegar.
• Metalmarks (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove. Special agents are available.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar is also best removed
with a glass scraper.
Never use abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and lime scale
can accumulate. Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.

EN 20
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the grease filter
1. Press the flap from the right extraction inlet.
2. Pull the grease filter out of the extraction inlet.
These must be cleaned once a month (or when the filter saturation indication system indicates
this necessity) using non-aggressive detergents, either by hand or in the dishwasher, which
must be set to a low temperature and a short cycle. The openings must be placed downwards
to let the water run out of the filters. The cleaning agents will make the aluminium filter turn dull,
this is normal.
Cleaning the fluid/food collect tray
1. Remove the grease filter.
2. Pull the collect tray out of the extraction inlet.
Clean the fluid/food collect tray as soon as a pan has boiled over or food has fallen in the
extraction opening. Clean the tray either by hand or in the dishwasher.
