How it works
An induction coil is located under each
burner. When a burner is switched on,
this coil creates a magnetic field which
impacts directly on the base of the pan
and heats it up. The burner itself is
heated indirectly by the heat given off
by the pan.
Induction burners only work when a
magnetic based pan is placed on it
(see "Cookware").
Induction automatically recognizes the
size of the pan, i.e. heat is only
generated in the area covered by the
base of the pan.
The burner will not work:
– if it is switched on without a pan in
place, or if the pan is unsuitable
(non-magnetic base).
– if the diameter of the pan is too small.
– if the pan is taken off the burner
when it is switched on.
If this happens, ßwill flash in the
relevant burner display alternating with
0or the last selected power level
selected.
If a suitable pan is placed on the burner
within 3 minutes, the ßwill go out and
you can continue cooking as normal.
If no pan or an unsuitable pan is placed
on the burner, the burner and the
cooktop will switch off automatically
after 3 minutes.
Be careful not to place cutlery or
other metal objects on the cooktop.
When the appliance is switched on,
or when there is residual heat
present, there is the risk of metal
objects heating up quickly.
Beware of burns.
Depending on the material, other
objects left on the cooktop could
also melt or catch fire. Switch the
burners off after use.
Induction
13

Noises
When using an induction burner, the
following noises can occur in the pan,
depending on what it is made of and
how it is constructed.
–Higher power settings may cause a
buzz. This will decrease or cease
altogether when the power setting is
reduced.
–If the pan base is made of layers of
different materials (e.g. a
sandwiched base), a cracking sound
may be heard.
– Whistling might occur if linked
burners (see "Booster function") are
being used on the highest setting at
the same time, and the pans have
bases made of layers of different
materials.
– You may hear a clicking sound from
the electronic switches, especially on
lower settings.
The appliance has a cooling fan to help
extend the life of the electronics. When
the cooktop is being used at high levels
for a long period of time, this will come
on and you will hear a whirring sound.
The fan may continue to run after the
appliance has been switched off.
Induction
14

Cookware
Suitable pans include:
–stainless steel pans with a magnetic
base
–enameled steel pans
–cast iron pans
Unsuitable pans:
–stainless steel pans without a
magnetic base
–aluminum and copper pans
–glass, ceramic or earthenware pots
and pans
To test whether a pot or pan is suitable
for use on an induction cooktop, hold a
magnet to the base of the pan. If the
magnet sticks, the pan is suitable.
Unless the pan manufacturer states
that you can do so, do not use pans
with very thin bases on this cooktop,
and never heat up empty pans. This
could damage the appliance and
cookware.
Pan size
To make optimum use of the burners,
choose cookware that fits between the
inner and outer marking of the burner. If
the base diameter of the pan is smaller
than the inner marking, the induction
heating will not work. The burner will
behave as if it had no pan on it.

Clean the cooktop
^Before using for the first time, clean
the appliance with a damp cloth and
dry with a soft cloth.
Heat the cooktop
Metal components of the cooktop have
a protective coating which may give off
a slight odor the first time the appliance
is heated.
The smell will dissipate after a short
time and does not indicate a faulty
connection or appliance defect.
Before using for the first time
16

Touch controls
The control panel on your ceramic
cooktop is equipped with electronic
sensors. They respond to a finger
touch.
To operate the burners, simply touch
the corresponding sensor area(s). Each
time a command is registered, a signal
will be heard.
Be sure to touch only the desired
sensor area and keep the control
panel clean and clear. Otherwise,
the touch controls may not respond,
or unintentional commands may be
given, even causing the cooktop to
switch off automatically (see the
section on "Safety cut-out feature").
NEVER place hot cookware on the
sensor areas. The electronics can
be damaged.
Turning on the cooktop
^Put a pot or pan on the desired
burner.
^Touch the ON/OFF "s" cooktop
touch control.
