ware with non-metal handles are used, it is
safe to use this induction hob as intended.
1.3 Restriction on user group
This appliance may be used by children aged
8 or over and by people who have reduced
physical, sensory or mental abilities or inad-
equate experience and/or knowledge,
provided that they are supervised or have
been instructed on how to use the appliance
safely and have understood the resulting
dangers.
Children must not play with the appliance.
Children must not perform cleaning or user
maintenance unless they are at least 15 years
old and are being supervised.
Keep children under the age of 8 years away
from the appliance and power cable.
1.4 Safe use
WARNING‒Risk of suffocation!
Children may breathe in or swallow small
parts, causing them to suffocate.
▶Keep small parts away from children.
▶Do not let children play with small parts.
Children may put packaging material over
their heads or wrap themselves up in it and
suffocate.
▶Keep packaging material away from chil-
dren.
▶Do not let children play with packaging ma-
terial.
WARNING‒Risk of poisoning!
Risk of poisoning from flue gases being
drawn back in. Room-air-dependent heat-pro-
ducing appliances (e.g. gas, oil, wood or coal-
operated heaters, continuous flow heaters or
water heaters) obtain combustion air from the
room in which they are installed and dis-
charge the exhaust gases into the open
through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chim-
ney). With the extractor hood switched on, air
is extracted from the kitchen and the adjacent
rooms. Without an adequate supply of air, the
air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure.
Toxic gases from the flue or the extraction
shaft are sucked back into the living space.
▶Always ensure adequate fresh air in the
room if the appliance is being operated in
exhaust air mode at the same time as a
room-air-dependent heat-producing appli-
ance is being operated.
▶It is only possible to safely operate the ap-
pliance if the pressure in the room in which
the heating appliance is installed does not
drop more than 4Pa(0.04mbar) below at-
mospheric pressure. This can be achieved
whenever the air needed for combustion is
able to enter through openings that cannot
be sealed, for example in doors, windows,
incoming/exhaust air wall boxes or by
other technical means. An incoming/ex-
haust air wall box alone does not ensure
compliance with the limit.
▶In any case, consult your responsible chim-
ney sweep. They are able to assess the
house's entire ventilation setup and will
suggest the suitable ventilation measures
to you.
▶Unrestricted operation is possible if the ap-
pliance is operated exclusively in circulat-
ing-air mode.

2 Avoiding material damage
This is where you can find the most common causes of damage and tips on how to avoid them.
Damage Cause Measure
Stains Unsupervised cooking process. Monitor the cooking process.
Stains, blisters Spilled food, especially food with a high
sugar content.
Remove immediately with a glass scraper.
Stains, blisters or
fractures in the glass
Defective cookware, cookware with melted
enamel or cookware with copper or alu-
minium base.
Use suitable cookware that is in a good con-
dition.
Stains, discolouration Unsuitable cleaning methods. Only use cleaning agents that are suitable for
glass ceramic, and only clean the hob when
it is cold.
Blisters or fractures in
the glass
Knocks or falling cookware, cooking ac-
cessories or other hard or pointed objects.
When cooking, do not hit the glass or let ob-
jects fall onto the hob.
Scratches, discolour-
ation
Rough cookware bases or moving the cook-
ware on the hob.
Check the cookware. Lift the cookware when
moving it.
Scratches Salt, sugar or sand. Do not use the hob as a work surface or
storage space.
Damage to the appli-
ance
Cooking with frozen cookware. Never use frozen cookware.
Damage to the cook-
ware or the appliance
Cooking without contents. Never place or heat empty cookware on a
hot cooking zone.
Glass damage Melted material on the hot cooking zone or
hot pot lid on the glass.
Do not place greaseproof paper or alu-
minium foil nor plastic containers or pot lids

3 Environmental protection and saving energy
3.1 Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compat-
ible and can be recycled.
▶Sort the individual components by type and dispose
of them separately.

en Suitable cookware

3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less energy.
Select the cooking zone to match the size of your
pan. Centre the cookware on the hob.
Use cookware whose base diameter is the same dia-
meter as the hotplate.
Tip:Cookware manufacturers often give the upper
diameter of the saucepan. It is often larger than the
base diameter.
¡Unsuitable cookware or incompletely covered cook-
ing zones consume a lot of energy.
Cover saucepans with suitable lids.
¡Cooking without a lid consumes considerably more
energy.
Lift lids as infrequently as possible.
¡When you lift the lid, a lot of energy escapes.
Use a glass lid.
¡You can see into the pan through a glass lid
without having to lift it.
Use pots and pans with flat bases.
¡Uneven bases increase energy consumption.
Use cookware that is suitable for the quantity of food.
¡Large items of cookware containing little food need
more energy to heat up.
Cook with only a little water.
¡The more water that is contained in the cookware,
the more energy is required to heat it up.
Turn down to a lower power level early on. Use a suit-
able ongoing power level.
¡If you use an ongoing power level that is too high,
you will waste energy.
Adjust the fan speed to the amount of steam pro-
duced during cooking.
¡The lower the fan speed, the less energy is con-
sumed.
If cooking produces large amounts of steam, select a
higher fan speed in good time.
¡The odours are distributed around the room less.
Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.
¡
Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation when cook-
ing.
¡The appliance works more efficiently and with fewer
operating noises.
Clean or replace the filters at regular intervals.
¡The effectiveness of the filter is retained.
Product Information according (EU) 66/2014 can be
found on the attached appliance pass and online on
the product page for your appliance.
4 Suitable cookware
Cookware that is suitable for induction cooking must
have a ferromagnetic base, i.e. it must be attracted by
a magnet. The base must also match the size of the
cooking zone. If cookware is not detected on a cooking
zone, place this on the cooking zone with the next
smallest diameter.
4.1 Size and characteristics of the cookware
To correctly detect the cookware, take the size and the
material of the cookware into consideration. All cook-
ware bases must be perfectly flat and smooth.
You can use Cookware test to check whether your
cookware is suitable. You can find more information
about this under
→"Cookware test", Page20.
Cookware Materials Properties
Recommended cook-
ware
Stainless steel cookware in a sandwich
design that distributes the heat well.
This cookware distributes the heat evenly,
heats up quickly, and ensures that it can be
detected easily.
Ferromagnetic cookware made of enamelled
steel, cast iron or special induction cookware
made of stainless steel.
This cookware heats up quickly and ensures
that it can be detected easily.

Suitable cookware en
7
Suitable The base is not fully ferromagnetic. If the ferromagnetic area is smaller than the
base of the cookware, only the area that is
ferromagnetic heats up. As a result, the heat
is not distributed evenly.
Cookware bases with aluminium content. These reduce the ferromagnetic area, which
means that less power is emitted to the
cookware. This cookware may not be suffi-
ciently detected or may not be detected at
all, and therefore does not heat sufficiently.
Not suitable Cookware made from normal thin steel,
glass, clay, copper or aluminium.
Notes
¡Do not use adapter plates between the hob and the
cookware.
¡Do not heat up empty cookware and do not use
cookware with a thin base, as this may become very
hot.

6 Operating modes
You can use your appliance in air extraction mode or
circulating-air mode.
6.1 Air extraction mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease fil-
ters and conveyed to the exterior by a pipe system.
The air must not be discharged into a
flue that is used for exhausting fumes
from appliances burning gas or other
fuels (not applicable to appliances that
only discharge the air back into the
room).
¡If the exhaust air is to be conveyed
into a non-functioning smoke or ex-
haust gas flue, you must obtain the
consent of the heating engineer re-
sponsible.
¡If the exhaust air is conveyed
through the external wall, a tele-
scopic duct should be used.
6.2 Air recirculation mode
The air which is drawn in is cleaned by the grease fil-
ters and an odour filter, and conveyed back into the
room.
To bind odours in circulating-air mode,
you must install an odour filter. The dif-
ferent options for operating the appli-
ance in circulating-air mode can be
found in our catalogue. Alternatively,
ask your dealer. The required accessor-
ies are available from specialist retail-
ers, from customer service or from the
Online Shop.
