What you should pay attention to
Induction cooking is extremely safe. Various surveillance
systems 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.
Connection and repair
• 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) off or, in the event of a permanent
connection, set the switch in the power supply lead to zero.
During use
• 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 off.
• Never flambé food under the cooker hood. The high flames
could cause a fire, even if the cooker hood is switched off.
Safety instructions

308108
• 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 off 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.
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.
6

308108
Protection against spills
The hob may shut down (with the adjacent symbol in the display)
and a beep (depending on the model) may sound in any of these
3 situations:
• Overflow that spills onto the buttons.
• Damp cloth placed over the buttons.
• Metallic object placed on the buttons.
Clean the hob or remove the object, then begin cooking again.
Auto-Stop System
If you forget to turn off a preparation, your cooking hob has an
Auto-Stop system safety function which automatically turns off
the forgotten cooking zone after a predefined time (between 1
and 10 hours, depending on the power used).
If this safety function is activated, the disconnection of the
cooking zone is signalled by the display »AS« or »A« in the
control zoneand a beep is emitted for approximately 2 minutes.
Simply press any of the comtrol buttons to stop this.
A double beep will confirm your action.
7

308108
Using the touch controls
The touch controls may take some getting used to if you are
used to other (rotary) controls. Place the tip of your finger flat on
the control to achieve the best results. You do not have to apply
any pressure.
The touch sensors only react to the light pressure of a fingertip.
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.
Attention
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...

308108
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.
• Easy
- The electronic controls are accurate and easy to set. On the
lowest setting, you can melt chocolate directly in the pan, for
example, 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.
Attention
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.
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.
Pans
9

308108
Tip
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 stainlesssteel pans Earthenware
Class Induction Stainless steel
Hard-wearing enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
Plastic
Aluminium
Attention
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.
Attention
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.

308108
Switching on the hob and setting the power
Press the start/stop button for the cooking zone you want to
use. A flashing 0 display and a beep indicates that he cooking
zone is on. A fixed dot appears in the selected display. You can
now choose the desired power level. Press the button to
increase your power level from 1 to 9 (maximum power) and
the button to reduce it. If you do not select a power level, the
cooking zone will automatically switch off.
Two cooking zones located one behind the other affect each
other's operation (see figure). When both are active at the same
time, the power is automatically distributed.
• If the power of one cooking zone is set to the maximum level
9, the power of the other cooking zone is limited to a maximum
of 5, and vice versa.
• If you wish both zones to operate at the maximum available
power level, set both of them to 8.
Switching off the hob

gasses are released. The below table shows the burning points
for various types of oil.
Oil Smoke point °C
Extra virgin olive oil 160 °C
Butter 177 °C
Coconut oil 177 °C
Canola oil 204 °C
Virgin olive oil 216 °C
Sunflower oil 227 °C
Corn oil 232 °C
Peanut oil 232 °C
Rice oil 255 °C
Olive oil 242 °C
Because the settings depend on the quantity and composition
of the contents of the pan, the table below is intended as a
guideline only.
• Use setting 9 to:
- bring the food or liquid to the boil quickly;
- ‘shrink’ greens;
- heat oil and fat;
- bring a pressure cooker up to pressure.
• Use setting 8 to:
- sear meats;
- fry flatfish;
- fry omelettes;
- fry boiled potatoes;
- deep fry foods.

Daily cleaning
• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we
nevertheless recommend you 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 water marks and lime scale with vinegar.
• Metal marks (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to
remove. Special agents are available.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills.
• Sugar and sugar-laden food may permanently damage the
glass-ceramic surface; therefore, they should be removed from
the glass-ceramic surface as soon as possible, although the
cooking zone may still be hot.
Don’ts:
• Never use abrasives. They leave scratches in which dirt and
lime scale can accumulate.
• Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.
