SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always keep children away from the cooker.
While in operation direct contact with the cooker may cause burns!
Ensure that small items of household equipment, including connection leads, do not touch
the hot oven or the hob as the insulation material of this equipment is usually not resistant
to high temperatures.
 Do not leave the cooker unattended when frying. Oils and fats may catch re due to
overheating or boiling over.
Do not allow the hob to get soiled and prevent liquids from boiling over onto the surface
of the hob. This refers in particular to sugar which can react with the ceramic hob and
cause irreversible damage. Any spillages should be cleaned up as they happen.
Do not place pans with a wet bottom on the warmed up heating zones as this can cause
irreversible changes to the hob (irremovable stains).
 Use pans that are specied by the manufacturer as designed for use with a ceramic
hob.
If any defects, deep scratches, cracks or chips appear on the ceramic hob, stop using the
cooker immediately and contact the service centre.
Do not switch on the hob until a pan has been placed on it.
Do not use pans with sharp edges that may cause damage to the ceramic hob.
Do not look directly at the halogen heating zones (not covered by a pan) when they are
warming up.
Do not put pans weighing over 15 kg on the opened door of the oven and pans over 25
kg on the hob.
Do not use harsh cleaning agents or sharp metal objects to clean the door as they can
scratch the surface, which could then result in the glass cracking.
 Do not use the cooker in the event of a technical fault. Any faults must be xed by an
appropriately qualied and authorised person.
In the event of any incident caused by a technical fault, disconnect the power and report
the fault to the service centre to be repaired.
Never allow children to remain unattended near the cooktop nor to play with the control
panel.
People with life function support implants (such as a heart pacemaker, an insulin
pump, or a hearing aid) must make sure that the operation of these devices is not
disturbed by the induction plate (induction plate frequency range is 20 to 50 kHz).
The appliance has been designed only for cooking. Any other use (for example for heat-
ing) does not comply with its operating prole and may cause danger.

Using energy in a respon-
sible way not only saves
money but also helps the
environment. So let’s save
energy! And this is how you
can do it:
Use proper pans for cooking.
Pans with thick, at bases can save up to 1/3
on electric energy. Remember to cover pans
if possible otherwise you will use four times
as much energy!
Match the size of the saucepan to the
surface of the heating zone.
A saucepan should never be smaller than a
heating zone.
Ensure heating zones and pan bases
are clean.
Soils can prevent heat transfer – and repeat-
edly burnt–on spillages can often only be
removed by products which cause damage
to the environment.
Do not uncover the pan too often
(a watched pot never boils!).
Do not open the oven door unnecessarily
often.
Switch o󰀨 the oven in good time and make
use of residual heat.
For long cooking times, switch o󰀨 heating
zones 5 to 10 minutes before nishing cook-
ing. This saves up to 20% on energy.
Only use the oven when cooking larger
dishes.
Meat of up to 1 kg can be prepared more
economically in a pan on the cooker hob.
HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
Make use of residual heat from the
oven.
If the cooking time is greater than 40 minutes
switch o󰀨 the oven 10 minutes before the
end time.
Important! When using the timer,
set appropriately shorter cooking
times according to the dish being
prepared.
Only grill with the ultrafan after closing
the oven door.
Make sure the oven door is properly
closed.
Heat can leak through spillages on the door
seals. Clean up any spillages immediately.
Do not install the cooker in the direct
vicinity of refrigerators/freezers.
Otherwise energy consumption increases
unnecessarily.

INSTALLATION
Installing the cooker
The kitchen should be dry and airy and
have e󰀨ective ventilation according to the
existing technical provisions.
The room should be equipped with a ven-
tilation system that pipes away exhaust
fumes created during combustion. This
system should consist of a ventilation
grid or hood. Hoods should be installed
according to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. The cooker should be placed so
as to ensure free access to all control
elements.
 Coating or veneer used on tted furniture
must be applied with a heat resistant
adhesive (100°C). This prevents surface
deformation or detachment of the coat-
ing. If you are unsure of your furniture’s
heat resistance, you should leave ap-
proximately 2 cm of free space around
the cooker. The wall behind the cooker
should be resistant to high temperatures.
During operation, its back side can warm
up to around 50°C above the ambient
temperature.
The cooker should stand on a hard, even
oor (do not put it on a base).
Before you start using the cooker it should
be leveled, which is particularly important
for fat distribution in a frying pan. To this
purpose, adjustable feet are accessible
after removal of the drawer. The adjust-
ment range is +/- 5 mm.
Mounting the overturning prevention
bracket.
The bracket is mounted to prevent overtur-
ning of the cooker. When the overturning
prevention bracket is installed, a child who
climbs on the oven door will not overturn the
appliance.

OPERATION
Before using the appliance for the rst time
● thoroughly clean your induction hob rst. The induction hob should be treated with the
same care as a glass surface.
● switch on the ventilation in the room or open a window, as the appliance could emit an
unpleasant smell during rst use.
● operate the appliance while observing all safety guidelines.
Induction cooking zone operation principle
Electric oscillator powers a coil placed inside the appliance.
This coil produces a magnetic eld, which induces eddy cur-
rents in the cookware.
These eddy currents induced by the magnetic eld cause the
cookware to heat up.
This requires the use of pots and pans whose base is ferromagnetic, in other words suscep-
tible to magnetic elds.
Overall, induction technology is characterized by two advantages:
●the heat is only emitted by the cookware and its use is maximised,
●there is no thermal inertia, since the cooking starts immediately when the pot is placed on
the hob and ends once it is removed.
Certain sounds can be heard during normal use of the induction hob, which do not a󰀨ect its
correct operation.
●Low-frequency humming. This noise arises when the cookware is empty and stops when
water is poured or food is placed in the cookware.
● High-frequency whizz. This noise arises in cookware made of multiple layers of di󰀨erent
materials at maximum heat setting. The noise intensies when using two or more cooking
zones at maximum heat setting. The noise will stop or reduce when heat setting is reduced.
● Creaking noise. This noise arises in cookware made of multiple layers of di󰀨erent materi-
als. The noise intensity depends on how the food is cooked.
●Buzzing. Buzzing can be heard when electronics cooling fan operates.
The noises that can be heard during the normal appliance operation are the result of the cooling
fan operation, cooking method, cookware dimensions, cookware material and the heat setting.
These noises are normal and do not indicate a fault.

15
OPERATION
Pan detector
Pan detector is installed in induction hobs. Pan detector starts heating automatically when
a pan is detected on a cooking zone and stops heating when it is removed. This helps save
electricity.
● When an suitable pan is placed on a cooking zone, the display shows the heat setting.
● Induction requires the use of suitable cookware with ferromagnetic base (see Table).
Pan detector does not operate as the on/o󰀨 sensor.
When switching the appliance on or o󰀨 or changing the heat setting, attention should be
paid that only one sensor eld at a time is touched. When two or more sensor elds are
touched at the same time (except timer and child lock), the appliance ignores the control
signals and may trigger a fault indication if sensor elds are touched for a long time.
When you nish cooking switch o󰀨 the cooking zone using touch control sensor elds
and do not rely solely on the pan detector.
The induction hob is equipped with electronic touch control sensor elds, which are operated
by touching the marked area with a nger.
Each time a sensor eld is touched, an acoustic signal can be heard.
If a pan is not placed on a cooking zone or the pan is unsuitable, the symbol is
displayed. The cooking zone will not operate. If a pan is not detected within 1 minutes,
the cooking zone will be switched o󰀨.
Switch o󰀨 the cooking zone using the touch control sensor eld rather than by remo-
ving the pan.
The protective device:
If the hob has been installed correctly and is used properly, any protective devices are rarely
required.
Fan: protects and cools controls and power components. It can operate at two di󰀨erent speeds
and is activated automatically. Fan runs until the electronic system has su󰀩ciently cooled
down regardless of the appliance or the cooking zones being turned on or o󰀨.
Temperature sensor: Temperature of electronic circuits is continuously monitored by a
temperature sensor. If temperature is raised beyond a safe level, this protection system will
reduce cooking zone heat setting or shut down the cooking zones adjacent to the overheated
electronic circuits.
Pan detection: allows the hob to detect pans placed on a cooking zone. Small objects placed
on the cooking zone (eg, spoon, knife, ring ...) will not be recognised as pans and the hob
will not operate.

16
OPERATION
The high-quality cookware is an essential condition for e󰀩cient induction cooking.
Cookware characteristics.
●Always use high quality cookware, with perfectly at base. This prevents the formation
of local hot spots, where food might stick.Pots and pans with thick steel walls provide
superior heat distribution.
●Make sure that cookware base is dry: when lling a pot or when using a pot taken out of
the refrigerator make sure its base is completely dry before placing it on the cooking zone.
This is to avoid soiling the surface of the hob.
●Lid prevents heat from escaping and thus reduces heating time and lowers energy con-
sumption.
● To determine if cookware is suitable, make sure that its base attracts a magnet.
●Cookware base has to be at for optimal temperature control by the induction
module.
●The concave base or deep embossed logo of the manufacturer interfere with the
temperature induction control module and can cause overheating of the pot or pan.
●Do not use damaged cookware such as cookware with deformed base due to exces-
sive heat.
● When you use large ferromagnetic base cookware, whose diameter is less than the total
diameter of the cookware, only the ferromagnetic base heats up. This results in a situ-
ation where it is not possible to uniformly distribute the heat
in the cookware. If the ferromagnetic area is reduced due to
inclusion of aluminium parts then the e󰀨ective heated area can
be reduced. Problems with the detection of the cookware could
arise or cookware may not be detected at all. To achieve optimum
cooking results, the diameter of the ferromagnetic base should
match that of the cooking zone. If cookware is not detected in a
given cooking zone, it is advisable to try it in a smaller cooking
zone.

OPERATION
Marking of kitchen
cookware Check for marking indicating that the cookware is suitable for induction
cooking.
Use magnetic cookware (enamelled steel, ferrite sta-
inless steel, cast iron). The easiest way to determine
if your cookware is suitable is to perform the „magnet
test”. Find a generic magnet and check if it sticks to
the base of the cookware.

For induction cooking us only ferromagnetic base materials such as:
●enamelled steel
● cast iron
● special stainless steel cookware designed for induction cooking.
Cookware size.
●In order to achieve best cooking results, use cookware with bottoms (ferromagnetic part)
of the size corresponding to the size of the cooking zone.
● Using cookware with the bottom diameter smaller than the cooking zone size will reduce
the e󰀨ectiveness of the cooking zone and increase cooking time.
● Cooking zones have a lower pot detection limit that depends on the diameter of ferromag-
netic part of the pot bottom and the pot material. The use of an unsuitable pot might lead
to pot being undetected by a cooking zone.

OPERATION
Important!
When there is no power, the residual
heat indicator does not light up.
The residual heat indicator
The hob is also equipped with a residual heat
indicator “H” Even if a cooking zone is not
directly heated, it takes in heat from the base
of a pot or pan. As long as the “H” symbol is
lit, any residual heat can be used for heating a
pot or pan or melting fat. When the indication
goes out, you can touch the cooking zone,
bearing in mind that it still does not have the
ambient temperature.
Automatic parboiling function
All four cooking zones are tted with a spe-
cial function which allows each of them to
start on full heating power regardless of the
power currently set. After a certain time the
heating power returns to that which is set
(from 1 to 8) To use this function, choose the
level which is to be used to heat the dish, or
to which the power is to return.
The auto parboiling function is useful when...
dishes are cold at the start of cooking and
need intensive heating, so that they can
then be cooked on low power so that they
do not need to be constantly watched
(e.g. beef ragout).
The auto parboiling function is not useful
when...
baking or steaming a dish which needs to
be stirred, mixed or have water added;
you are boiling pasta or dumplings in a
large amount of water;
you are preparing dishes which require
long cooking in a pressure cooker.
The child lock function
You can disable any of the cooking zones by
activating the child lock function. This protects
your children.
Activating the child lock function.
● The child lock function can be activated
when all knobs are set to “0” position.
● Simultaneously turn both knobs [1] and [4]
to the left and hold for 3 seconds. All the
indicators show the “L” symbol. The child
lock function has been activated.
Turning any of the hob’s knob causes all the
indicators to show the “L”.
Important!
After disconnecting from the mains, the child
lock function is activated.
Deactivate child lock.
● Simultaneously turn both control knobs [1]
and [4] to the right to position “P” and hold
both knobs at this position for 1 second
and then turn both knobs back to “0”. The
child lock “L” symbol will disappear from
displays and child lock will deactivate.

OPERATION
Activating the auto parboiling function:
Set the dial to „A”, then turn it back to
the required power. The indicator will
alternate between showing the „A” sym-
bol and the chosen power level. After
the increased power cooking (e.g. 5) is
nished, the cooking zone returns to the
power level shown on the display

Instructions:
If the knob is in the “0” position immediately
after selecting the auto parboiling function
(i.e. no cooking power level has been set),
the auto parboiling function switches o󰀨
after three seconds.
Removing a pan from a cooking zone and
replacing it on the same cooking zone
within ten minutes does not cancel the set
auto parboiling function.
The cooking zone is switched on at full power
for a time depending on the heat setting
selected, and is then switched back to the
