INDUCTION HEATING
• The Principle of Induction Heating: When you place your cookware on a cooking
zone and you turn it on, the electronic circuits in your induction hob produce
“induced currents” in the bottom of the cookware which instantly raise cookware’s
temperature.
• Greater speed in cooking and frying: As the pan is heated directly and not the
glass, the efficiency is greater than in other systems because no heat is lost. Most of
the energy absorbed is transformed into heat.

SAFETY SHUTOFF
If one of the cooking zones is not switched off or the heat setting is not adjusted after an
extended period of time, that particular cooking zone will automatically switch itself off.
Any residual warmth will be indicated with (for “hot”) in the digital displays
corresponding to the particular cooking zones.
The cooking zones switch themselves off at the following times.
Heat setting Switch off
1-3 After 6 hours
4-6 After 5 hours
7-9 After 4 hours
10-15 After 1.5 hours
If the Hob is overheated because of abnormal operation, will be displayed.
And the Hob will be switched off.
If cookware is unsuitable or too small or no cookware has been placed on the
cooking zone, will be displayed. And after 5 minutes the corresponding cooking
zone will be switched off.
Should one or more of the cooking zones switch off before the indicated time has
elapsed, see the section “Troubleshooting”.
Other reasons why a cooking zone will switch itself off
All cooking zones will immediately switch themselves off if liquid boils over and
lands on the control panel.
The automatic shutoff will also be activated if you place a damp cloth on the
control panel. In both of these instances, the appliance will need to be switched
on again using the main On/Off control sensor after the liquid or the cloth
has been removed .
RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATOR
When an individual cooking zone or the hob is turned off, the presence of residual heat is
shown with an (for “hot”) in the digital display of the appropriate cooking zones. Even
after the cooking zone has been switched off, the residual heat indicator goes out only
after the cooking zone has cooled.
You can use the residual heat for thawing or keeping food warm.
Important: As long as the residual heat indicator is illuminated, there is a risk of
burns.
Important: If the power supply is interrupted, the symbol will go out and
information about residual heat will no longer be available. However, it may still be
possible to burn yourself. This can be avoided by always taking care when near the
hob.

HOB USE
USING SUITABLE COOKWARE
Better pans produce better results.
• You can recognise good pans by their bases. The base should be as thick and flat as
possible.
• When buying new pans, pay particular attention to the diameter of the base.
Manufacturers often give only the diameter of the upper rim.
• Do not use pans which have damaged bases with rough edges or burrs. Permanent
scratching can occur if these pan are slid across the surface.
• When cold, pan bases are normally bowed slightly inwards (concave). They should
never be bowed outwards (convex).
• If you wish to use a special type of pan, for example, a pressure cooker, a simmering
pan, or a wok, please observe the manufacturer’s instructions.
Energy saving tips
You can save valuable energy by observing the following points.
• Always position pots and pans
before switching on the cooking
zone.
• Dirty cooking zones and pan bases
increase power consumption.
• When possible, position the lids
firmly on the pots and pans to
cover completely.
• Switch the cooking zones off before
the end of the cooking time to use
the residual heat for keeping foods
warm or for thawing.
USING THE TOUCH CONTROL SENSORS
To operate the touch control sensors, touch the desired panel with the tip of your
pointed finger until the relevant displays illuminate or go out, or until the desired function
is activated.
Ensure that you are touching only one sensor panel when operating the appliance. If
your finger is too flat on the panel, an adjacent sensor may be actuated as well.
