Hob - Hints and tips
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
Cookware
For induction cooking zones a
strong electro-magnetic field creates
the heat in the cookware very
quickly.
Use the induction cooking zones
with correct cookware.
Cookware material
•correct: cast iron, steel, enamelled steel,
stainless steel, the bottom made of multi-
layer (with correct mark from a
manufacturer).
•not correct: aluminium, copper, brass,
glass, ceramic, porcelain.
Cookware is correct for an induction hob
if:
• some water boils very quickly on a zone set
to the highest heat setting.
• a magnet pulls on to the bottom of the
cookware.
The bottom of the cookware must be
as thick and flat as possible.
Cookware dimensions
Induction cooking zones adapt to the dimension
of the bottom of the cookware automatically to
some limit.
The cooking zone efficiency is related to the
diameter of the cookware. The cookware with a
smaller diameter than the minimum receives
only a part of the power generated by the
cooking zone.
Minimum cookware diameter
Cooking zone Cookware diam-
eter (mm)
Left rear 125 - 140
Right rear 145 - 180
Right front 145 - 180
Left front 180 - 210
The noises during operation
If you can hear:
• crack noise: cookware is made of different
materials (sandwich construction).
• whistle sound: you use the cooking zone
with high power level and the cookware is
made of different materials (sandwich
construction).
• humming: you use high power level.
• clicking: electric switching occurs.
• hissing, buzzing: the fan operates.
The noises are normal and do not refer to
hob malfunction.
Examples of cooking applications
The relation between the heat setting and the
cooking zone consumption of power is not
linear. When you increase the heat setting, it is
not proportional to the increase of the cooking
zone consumption of power. It means that the
cooking zone with the medium heat setting uses
less than a half of its power.
The data in the table is for guidance
only.

Hob - Care and cleaning
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
General information
• Clean the hob after each use.
• Always use cookware with clean bottom.
• Scratches or dark stains on the surface have
no effect on how the hob operates.
• Use a special cleaner applicable for the
surface of the hob.
• Use a special scraper for the glass.
Cleaning the hob
•Remove immediately: melted plastic,
plastic foil, sugar and food with sugar. If not,
the dirt can cause damage to the hob. Take
care to avoid burns. Put the special scraper
on the glass surface at an acute angle and
move the blade on the surface.
•Remove when the hob is sufficiently
cool: limescale rings, water rings, fat stains,
shiny metallic discoloration. Clean the hob
with a moist cloth and non-abrasive
detergent. After cleaning, wipe the hob dry
with a soft cloth.
•Remove shiny metallic discoloration:
use a solution of water with vinegar and
clean the glass surface with a moist cloth.

Oven - Hints and tips
WARNING!
Refer to Safety chapters.
The temperature and baking times in
the tables are guidelines only. They
depend on the recipes and the
quality and quantity of the
ingredients used.
Always preheat an empty oven at the
temperature required for the food for
20 minutes before you start cooking.
Top oven
The top oven is the smaller of the two ovens. It
has 3 shelf positions. Use it to cook smaller
quantities of food. It gives especially good
results when used to cook fruitcakes, sweets
and savoury flants or quiche.
Main oven
The main oven is particularly suitable for
cooking larger quantities of food.
Baking
• Your oven may bake or roast differently to
the appliance you had before. Adapt your
usual settings such as temperature, cooking
time and shelf position to the values in the
tables.
• Use the lower temperature the first time.
• If you cannot find the settings for a special
recipe, look for the similar one.
• You can extend baking times by 10 – 15
minutes if you bake cakes on more than one
shelf position.
• Cakes and pastries at different heights do
not always brown equally at first. If this
occurs, do not change the temperature
setting. The differences equalize during the
baking procedure.
• Trays in the oven can twist during baking.
When the trays become cold again, the
distortions disappear.
Tips on baking
Baking results Possible cause Remedy
The bottom of the cake is not
browned sufficiently. The shelf position is incorrect. Put the cake on a lower shelf.
The cake sinks and becomes
soggy, lumpy or streaky. The oven temperature is too high. The next time you bake, set a slightly lower oven temperature.
The cake sinks and becomes
soggy, lumpy or streaky. The baking time is too short. Set a longer baking time. You cannot decrease baking
times by setting higher tem-

Roasting
• Use heat-resistant ovenware to roast. Refer
to the instructions of the ovenware
manufacturer.
• You can roast large roasting joints directly in
the deep pan or on the wire shelf above the
deep pan.
• Put some liquid in the deep pan to prevent
the meat juices or fat from burning on it's
surface.
• All types of meat that can be browned or
have crackling can be roasted in the roasting
tin without the lid.
• If necessary, turn the roast after 1/2 to 2/3
of the cooking time.
• To keep meat more succulent:
– roast lean meat in the roasting tin with
the lid or use roasting bag.
– baste large roasts and poultry with their
juices several times during roasting.
