3.3 How the cooktop extractor works
Depending on the model you purchased, the cooktop extractor can be operated as an exhaust air or a recirculating
air version.
Exhaust air mode
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and expelled into the open air via a duct system. The exhaust
air must not be expelled into:
a smoke or exhaust gas flue that is in operation
a shaft used for the aeration of rooms where fireplaces are installed.
If the exhaust air is to be directed into a smoke or exhaust gas flue that is not in use, the installation must be
checked and approved by the responsible heating engineer.
Recirculation mode (only in C-version)
The air suctioned away is purified by the grease filter and an activated charcoal filter and fed back into the room in
which the appliance is installed. To prevent odours in recirculation mode, an odour filter must be used. For hygiene
and health reasons, the activated charcoal filter must be replaced at the recommended intervals (see the Cleaning
and maintenance chapter).
3.4 How the induction cooktop works
3.4.1 Slide control
The glass ceramic hob is operated with touch control sensor keys. The sensor keys are operated as follows: lightly
touch a symbol on the surface of the ceramic glass plate. A buzzer will indicate when the controls have been
operated correctly.
The touch control sensor key will then be indicated as “key”.
What must be observed when operating sensor fields?
Your finger should not be placed flat onto the glass ceramic surface in order to avoid adjacent keys/sensor fields
from reacting by mistake.
unsuitable right
Press the sensor field lightly or move your finger around
You can press the sensor field very lightly with your finger; when this is done the setting on the display (power
level) will gradually change.
When you put your finger on the sensor field and then move it to the left or right, the display setting will change
progressively.
The faster the movement, the faster the change in the display.
APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION EN

3.5 The induction hob
The hob is equipped with an induction cooking mode. Induction coils underneath the glass ceramic hob generate
an electromagnetic alternating field which penetrates the glass ceramic and induces the heat-generating current in
the pot base.
With an induction cooking zone the heat is no longer transferred from a heating element through the cooking pot
into the food being cooked; instead the necessary heat is generated directly in the container by means of induction
currents.
Advantages of the induction hob
Energy-saving cooking through the direct transfer of energy to the pot (suitable pots/pans made of
magnetisable material are required).
Increased safety as the energy is only transferred when a pot is placed on the hob.
Highly effective energy transfer between an induction cooking zone and the base of a pot.
Rapid heat-up.
The risk of burns is low as the cooking area is only heated through the pan base; food which boils over does
not stick to the surface.
Rapid, sensitive control of the energy supply.

.1 Appropriate cookware
Induction hotplate will function perfectly only if appropriate pot is used.
The pot should be in the middle of the hotplate during cooking.
The appropriate pot is the one which enables induction, for example steel, enamel
or steel alloy. Pots made from steel alloy with copper or aluminium bottom, or
glass pots are inappropriate.
If you use the pressure pot, keep it under close surveillance until proper pressure
is obtained. Hotplate should first operate on maximum power, then follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.
When buying cookware, check if it bears the label “allows induction”.

(SINGLE) Ø 110 mm
Note:
When Bridge function is selected, you can use the created zone in different ways,
w
ith one or two pots. If you use larger pots than the recommended maximum size,
the heating time will be longer, because the heating will propagate from center to
edges of the pot by conduction, in this case also the temperature will be very
inhomogeneous.
Magnet test
Use small magnet Ato test if the dish bottom is magnetic. Only dishes where
magnet sticks to the bottom are suitable.
Dish recognition
One of great advantages of the induction hotplate is dish recognition.
When the hotplate is on, the power indicator displays . If you place the dish over
that hotplate within the following 10 minutes, the hotplate recognizes the dish and
turns on to the pre-set power value.
At the moment you remove the dish from the hotplate, power is suspended. If you
place smaller dish upon the hotplate and it is recognized, the hotplate will only use
the amount of energy required to heat the dish according to its size.
Hotplate may be damaged if:
xempty hop are heated up.
xyou don’t use the appropriate pots.
xyou use clay dishes which leave scratcheson the glass surface.
xyou don’t wipe the pot bottom.
The use of bad quality cookware or any adapter for non-magnetic cookware
invalidates product warranty. In this case, the manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for any damage caused to the appliance and / or objects closed to the
same.

Energy saving tips
When buying pots, be careful in selecting size: pot diameter usually refers to the
top edge of the pot, which is often larger than the bottom;
Steam-pressure pots, which use pressure in tightly sealed interior, are especially
economic, and save both time and energy. Shorter cooking time leaves more
vitamins in food;
Always leave enough water in steam-pressure pots, otherwise it may result in
overheating which may damage both the pot and the appliance;
Always cover pots with lids of appropriate size;
Use such pot size to accommodate the quantity of food to be prepared.

temperature of the hotplate excessively rises, it switches on two-stage fan. If this is
not enough, extra powerful heating is deactivated, and finally the safety device either
reduces the heating power of certain hotplates or turns them off completely. When
the hotplate cools off, the full power of hotplate is again available.

5 Cleaning and care
xSwitch the hob off and let it cool down before you clean it.
xNever clean the glass ceramic hob with a steam cleaner or similar appliance!
xWhen cleaning make sure that you only wipe lightly over the ON/OFF key. The hob may otherwise be
accidentally switched on.
xObserve all safety and warning information.
xRegular cleaning and maintenance ensures long service life of the appliance and optimal function.
Component Cleaning cycle
Operating panel Immediately after every soiling
Glass ceramic hob Clean with conventional glass ceramic detergents immediately
after soiling and on a weekly basis
Grease filters Clean when the fan power level indicator shows F. (Do not put
this part in the dishwasher!)
Condensation filter Every time you clean the grease filters (do not put this part in
the dishwasher!).
Water collector When some water overflows and flows in the air inlet opening.
Carbon filters (only in C - version)
Regenerate if odours have built up, extraction power is
dwindling or the fan power level indicator shows C. Every 2
years the carbon filters must be replaced.
5.1 Glass ceramic hob
Important! Never use aggressive cleaning agents such as rough scouring agent, abrasive saucepan cleaners, rust
and stain removers etc.
Cleaning after use
xAlways clean the entire hob when it has become soiled. It is recommended that you do so every time the hob
is used. Use a damp cloth and a little washing up liquid for cleaning. Then dry the hob with a clean dry cloth
to ensure that there is no detergent left on the surface of the hob.
Weekly cleaning
xClean the entire hob thoroughly once a week with commercial glass ceramic cleaning agents. Please follow
the manufacturer's instructions carefully. When applied, the cleaning agent will coat the hob in a protective
film which is resistant to water and dirt. All the dirt will remain on the film and can then easily be removed.
Then rub the hob dry with a clean cloth. Make sure that no cleaning agent remains on the surface of the hob
since this will react aggressively when the hob is heated up and will change the surface.
5.2 Specific soiling
Heavy soiling and stains (lime scaling and shiny, mother-of-pearl-type stains) can best be
removed when the hob is still slightly warm. Use commercial cleaning agents to clean the hob.
Proceed as outlined under Item 2.
First soak food which has boiled over with a wet cloth and then remove remaining soiling with
a special glass scraper for glass ceramic hobs. Then clean the hob again as described under chapter 5.1.
