IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
10

Personal safety
When in use, the appliance may
become very hot and remain so for
a while after the cooktop has been
turned off. There is a danger of burning
until the residual heat indicators go out.
Use potholders when working with
a hot appliance. Use only dry, heat
resistant potholders. Moist or damp
potholders used on hot surfaces can
result in steam burns.
Do not heat unopened food cans
on the cooktop. Built-up pressure
may cause the container to burst and
result in injury.
Do not place objects other than
pots and pans on the cooktop. Be
especially careful not to place knives,
forks or spoons etc, or other metallic
items on the cokktop. If the cooktop is
switched on, or if there is residual heat
present, the metallic items can heat up
and cause burning. Remember that
metallic items can cause the burner to
heat up unintentionally! Depending on
material, other non-metallic items can
melt or burn if placed on the cooktop.
Switch the cooktop off after use.
Never cover the cooktop with a
cloth or foil. Danger of fire!
Never leave the cooktop
unattended when cooking with oil
or fat. Overheated fat or oil could ignite
and set the venting hoods on fire.
Always heat oil slowly, monitoring it as it
heats. This is a fire hazard.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother any fire or flame, or use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not flambé under an exhaust
hood. Flames could be drawn up
into the hood by the suction or the
grease filter may ignite.
Pot and pan handles should be
turned inward and not extend over
the countertop to reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials,
and spills.
Be aware of loose fitting or hanging
garments when operating the
cooktop, they may present a hazard.

the food is as dry as possible
before placing it in hot oil. Moisrture
can cause oil to splatter and boil over.
At high settings, be cautious of
splattering grease or boiling over
liquids which may produce smoke.
To prevent burns and breathing
difficulty, allow the cooktop to cool
before cleaning. Some cleaners may
produce toxic fumes if apllied to a hot
surface.
When wiping spills on a hot
cooktop with a wet sponge or
cloth, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Do not let flammable materials, i. e.
cooking grease, accumulate on the
appliance.

Function
An induction coil is installed beneath
each burner. If a burner is turned on,
the coil produces a magnetic field,
which operates directly on the
cookware bottom and heats it. The
burner is indirectly heated by the heat
radiated from the pot.
Burners with induction operate only
when cookware with a magnetizable
bottom is placed on them, see
"Selecting cookware".
The induction considers automatically
the size of the placed cookware, which
means it operates only in the area of
the surface covered by the cookware
bottom.
The burner does not operate
– when turned on without or with
unsuitable cookware (cookware
without magnetizable bottom).
– when the bottom diameter of the
placed cookware is too small.
–when the cookware is removed from
a turned on burner.
The symbol ßalternating with 0or the
last set power level will flash in the
burner display.
If suitable cookware is placed on the
burner within 3 minutes, the ßsymbol
goes out.
If no or unsuitable cookware is used,
the burner and cooktop are turned off
automatically after 3 minutes.
Do not place knives, forks or spoons
etc., or other metallic items on the
cooktop. If the cooktop is switched
on, or if there is residual heat
present, the metallic items can heat
up and cause burning. Remember
that metallic items can cause the
burner to heat up unintentionally!
Switch the cooktop off after use.
Induction

Sounds
When operating induction burners, the
following sounds can occur depending
on the material of the cookware base:
–Buzzing can be heard at high power
levels. It will quiet down or go out,
when the power level is turned down.
–Crackling occurs when the
cookware has a base made from
several materials, e.g. sandwich
bottom.
–Whistling can occur, when
connected burners (see "Booster
function) are operated on the highest
power level and cookware with a
base made from several materials
are used.
–Clicking can occur during electronic
switching operations, especially at
lower power levels.
–Whizzing: To extend the electronic
durability, the appliance is fitted with
a cooling fan. If the cooktop is
intensively used, the fan is turned on
and a whirring sounds. The cooling
fan will continue to run after the
cooktop was turned off.
Induction

Suitable cookware
–Stainless steel with magnetizable
bottom
–Enameled steel
–Cast iron
Unsuitable cookware
–Stainless steel with non magnetizable
bottom
–Aluminum, copper
–Glass, ceramic, earthenware
If in doubt, whether cookware is
suitable for use on the induction, check
by holding a magnet on the cookware
bottom. If the magnet sticks, the
cookware is suitable.
To prevent damage to the cooktop
do not use pots and pans with thin
bases on this cooktop. Never heat
an empty pan unless the pan
manufacturer states that you can do
so.
Cookware size
For optimum burner use, select the size
of the cookware so it fits between the
inner and outer marking of the burner. If
the pot is smaller than the inner
marking, the induction may not operate.
The burner reacts, as if no cookware
was placed on it.
Please note that cookware diameters
given by the manufacturer are usually
the maximum/upper diameter. For use
on the burner the (usually smaller)
bottom diameter is important.
Energy saving tips
Using a lid while cooking will minimize
the loss of heat and decrease cooking
time.
