BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
FOR THE FIRST TIME
If your hob has a glass ceramic surface, clean it with a damp cloth and some washing-
up liquid. Do not use aggressive cleaners, such as abrasive cleaners that could cause
scratches, abrasive dishwashing sponges, or stain removers.
During initial use, characteristic "new appliance smell" may appear; it will gradually
disappear.

INDUCTION COOKING SURFACE
GLASS CERAMIC COOKING SURFACE
- The hob is resistant to temperature changes.
- The hob is also impact-resistant.
- Using the glass ceramic hob as a storage area may result in scratches or other damage to it.
- Do not use the glass ceramic hob if it is cracked or broken. If a sharp object falls on the hob,
the hob may break. The consequences of such occurrence may be visible immediately or
only after a while. If any visible crack appears in the hob, immediately cut o the power
supply to the appliance.
- Make sure the cooking zone and the cookware bottom is clean and dry. This will allow better
conduction of heat and prevent any damage to the heating surface. Do not place empty
cookware on the cooking zone.
- The cooking zone may be damaged if you place an empty pan onto it. Before placing a pan
onto the cooking zone, wipe the pan bottom dry to allow conduction of heat.
COOKING POWER LEVELS
Cooking zone heat power can be set to ten different levels. The table lists some examples of
use for each level.
Level Purpose
0Switched o, using the residual heat
1 - 2 Keeping the food warm, slow cooking of smaller amounts (lowest setting)
3Slow cooking (follow-up cooking after the initial power boost)
4 - 5 Slow cooking (follow-up cooking) of large amounts, pan-roasting of larger chunks
6Searing and browning
7 - 8 Searing
9Cooking of large amounts, searing
PPower boost setting for start of the cooking process; also suitable for very
large amounts of food

POWER SAVING TIPS
- When purchasing cookware, note that the diameter indicated on the pan usually pertains to
the upper edge or the lid, which is normally larger than the diameter of the pan bottom.
- If a dish takes a long time to cook, use a pressure cooker. Make sure there is always sucient
liquid in the pressure cooker. If an empty cooker is placed on the cooking hob, it may
overheat which in turn may lead to damage to both the pot and the cooking zone.
- Whenever possible, close the pot or pan with a suitably sized lid. Use cookware that fits the
amount of food you are cooking. Cooking in a large partly full pot will consume much more
energy.
PAN RECOGNITION
- Even if there is no pot or pan on the cooking zone or if the pan used
has a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the cooking zone,
there will be no losses of energy.
- “If the pan is much smaller than the cooking zone, there is a
possibility that it will not be recognized by the cooking zone. When
the cooking zone is activated, the sign and the selected power
level will flash alternately on the cooking power display.
If a suitable pan is placed on the induction cooking zone within
the next minute, the hob will recognize it and switch on with the
selected cooking power. As soon as the pan is removed from the
cooking zone, the power supply is cut o.”
- If a smaller pan or pot is placed on the cooking zone and it is
recognized, the hob will only use as much power as necessary given
the pan size.

12
803412
If sugar or food with high sugar content is spilled over a hot class
ceramic hob, immediately wipe the hob or remove the sugar with
a scraper, even if the cooking zone is still hot. This will prevent
any damage to the class ceramic surface.
Do not use detergents and other cleaners to clean a hot glass
ceramic hob as this could damage the surface.
- The cooking hob is fitted with highly ecient induction cooking
zones. The heat is generated directly in the bottom of the pan
where it is needed the most. This avoids any losses through the
glass ceramic surface. Power consumption is considerably lower
than in conventional cooking zones with radiation heaters.
- The glass ceramic cooking zone is not heated directly, but only
indirectly with the heat radiated back by the pan. After the
cooking zone is switched o, this heat is indicated as »residual
heat«.
- In induction cooking zones, heating is made possible by the
induction coil installed under the glass ceramic surface. The coil
induces a magnetic field which generates eddy currents in the
bottom of a ferromagnetic pan, which in turn heats the pan.
INDUCTION COOKING ZONE OPERATING
PRINCIPLE

13

Ø Ø Ø
- The induction will work correctly if you use suitable cookware.
- Make sure the pot or pan is in the middle of the cooking zone.
- Suitable cookware: cookware made of steel, enamel-coated steel
pans, or cast iron pans.
- Unsuitable cookware: alloy steel cookware with copper or
aluminium bottom, and glass cookware.
- The magnet test: Use a small magnet to check whether the
pan or pot bottom is ferromagnetic. If the magnet sticks to the
bottom of the pan, then it is suitable for an induction cooker.
- When using a pressure cooker, keep an eye on it until the right pressure is reached.
First, set the cooking zone to maximum power; then, following the pressure cooker
manufacturer's instructions, decrease the cooking power when appropriate.
- Make sure there is enough liquid in the pressure cooker or any other pot or pan. Due to
overheating, using an empty pot on the cooking zone may result in damage to both the
pot and the cooking zone.
- Some cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic bottom. In such case, only the
magnetic part will heat up, while the rest of the bottom will remain cool.
- When using special cookware, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
- For best cooking results, the ferromagnetic area on the cookware bottom should match
the size of the cooking zone. If the cooking zone does not recognize the pan, try placing
it on a dierent cooking zone with a smaller diameter.

The glass ceramic hob is also fitted with a residual heat display, "H". The glass ceramic
cooking zone is not heated directly, but only indirectly by the heat radiated back by
the pan. As long as the symbol "H" is lit up after the hob has been switched off, there
is residual heat in the cooking zone, which can be used to keep the food warm or for
defrosting. When the "H" sign disappears, the cooking zone may still be hot. Be careful as
there is danger of burns!
