GERMAN STANDARDS
Our self-sufficient induction hob offers numerous advantages. The independence of
each hob enables flexible and individual control of the cooking zones.
This self-sufficiency makes it possible to prepare different dishes at different
temperatures at the same time. In addition, the separate operation facilitates precise
control of each hob.
Our self-sufficient induction hobs therefore offer an efficient and user-friendly solution
for the kitchen, providing maximum flexibility and control over the cooking process.

Note: The data in the table is for guidance only. The relation between the heat setting and the
cooking zone consumption of power is not linear. When you increase the heat setting it is not
proportional to the increase of the cooking zone consumption of power. The power of the
cooking zones can be different in some small range. It changes with the material and
dimensions of the cookware.

-If the hob cannot be switched off after use it, disconnect it from the power supply.
Induction hobs can make whistling or crackling sounds during normal operation, these actually come from the pots and
pans as a result of the characteristics of the bottoms (for example, bottoms made of several layers of material, or uneven
bottoms). These noises vary depending on the pots and pans used and the amount of food they contain, and are not
indicative of a defect of any kind.
In addition, the induction hob is equipped with an internal cooling system to control the temperature of electronic parts;
as a result, during operation and for several minutes after the hob has been switched o, the noise of the cooling fan will
be audible. This is perfectly normal and indeed essential for proper functioning of the appliance.
C/C-C-C-C Error: automatic safety shut-o for liquid overow. This means that the touch panel was watered
with liquid.
-Do not use steam cleaners.
-Before cleaning, make sure the cooking zones are switched off and that the residual
heat indicator (“H”) is not displayed.
IMPORTANT: Do not clean with scrub brushes, Clean the induction with a damp cloth
or a specific hob cleaner.
-Clean the hob (when it is cool) to remove any deposits and stains due to food residuals
after each use.
-Salt, sugar and sand may scratch the glass surface.
