3 Preparation

Tips for saving energy

The following information will help you to use your appliance in an ecological way, and to save energy:

• Defrost frozen dishes before cooking them.
• Use pots/pans with cover for cooking. If there is no cover, energy consumption may increase 4 times.
• Select the burner which is suitable for the bottom size of the pot to be used. Always select the correct pot size for your dishes. Larger pots require more energy.
• Pay attention to use flat bottom pots when cooking with electric hobs. Pots with thick bottom will provide a better heat conduction. You can obtain energy savings up to 1/3.
• Vessels and pots must be compatible with the cooking zones. Bottom of the vessels or pots must not be smaller than the hotplate.

- Keep the cooking zones and bottom of the pots clean. Dirt will decrease the heat conduction between the cooking zone and bottom of the pot.

Initial use

First cleaning of the appliance

The surface might get damaged by some detergents or cleaning materials. Do not use aggressive detergents, cleaning powders/creams or any sharp objects during cleaning. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

1. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wipe the surfaces of the appliance with a damp cloth or sponge and dry with a cloth.

4 How to use the hob

General information about cooking

Never fill the pan with oil more than one third of it. Do not leave the hob unattended when heating oil. Overheated oils bring risk of fire. Never attempt to extinguish a possible fire with water!

When oil catches fire, cover it with a fire blanket or damp cloth. Turn off the hob if it is safe to do so and call the fire department.

• Before frying foods, always dry them well and gently place into the hot oil. Ensure complete thawing of frozen foods before frying.
• Do not cover the vessel you use when heating oil.
• Place the pans and saucepans in a manner so that their handles are not over the hob to prevent heating of the handles. Do not place unbalanced and easily tilting vessels on the hob.
• Do not place empty vessels and saucepans on cooking zones that are switched on. They might get damaged.
• Operating a cooking zone without a vessel or saucepan on it will cause damage to the product. Turn off the cooking zones after the cooking is complete.
• As the surface of the product can be hot, do not put plastic and aluminum vessels on it.
  Clean any melted such materials on the surface immediately.
  Such vessels should not be used to keep foods either.
• Use flat bottomed saucepans or vessels only.

- Put appropriate amount of food in saucepans and pans. Thus, you will not have to make any unnecessary cleaning by preventing the dishes from overflowing. Do not put covers of saucepans or pans on cooking zones. Place the saucepans in a manner so that they are centered on the cooking zone. When you want to move the saucepan onto another cooking zone, lift and place it onto the cooking zone you want instead of sliding it.

Saucepan selection

• Glass ceramic surface is heatproof and is not affected by big temperature differences.
• Do not use the glass ceramic surface as a place of storage or as a cutting board.
• Use only the saucepans and pans with machined bottoms. Sharp edges create scratches on the surface.

Diagram showing a fire extinguishing a fire with a crossed-out X (no text or symbols)

Spills may damage the glass ceramic surface and cause fire.

Do not use vessels with concave or convex bottoms.

Use only the saucepans and pans with flat bottoms. They ensure easier heat transfer.

Boiling behaviour may vary depending on the pot types, size of the pot and size of the cooking zone. For a more homogenous boiling behaviour a one step larger cooking zones might be used. To use a larger cooking zone has

no negative effect on energy consumption at induction hobs, because the heat is only created in relevant pot area.

For induction hobs, use only vessels suitable for induction cooking. Saucepan test

Use following methods to test whether your saucepan is compatible with the induction hob or not.

1. Your saucepan is compatible if its bottom holds a magnet.
2. Your saucepan is compatible if "L" symbol does not flash when you place your saucepan on a cooking zone.

Only ferromagnetic pans can be used for induction cooking

Ferromagnetic materials include:

* Enameled steel
* Cast iron
* Stainless steel designed for induction cooking

Non-ferromagnetic materials include:

These types of pans will not work with induction cooking.

* Stainless steel

* Glass

Ceramic

* Copper or aluminum pans

Some saucepans have a smaller ferromagnetic area than the real diameter of the saucepans. Only this area will be heated up by the induction zone, therefore the cooking performance may be

	reduced.These pan types cannot be detected by bigger induction zones. The diameter of pan's ferromagnetic area should match the size of the cooking zone. If the pan is not detected by the cooking zone, try it on the next smaller cooking zone.
	Some vessels have a base which includes non-ferromagnetic materials such as aluminum.These types of vessels cannot be detected by the induction zone.

You can use steel, teflon or aluminium saucepans with special magnetic bottom that contains labels or warnings indicating that the saucepan is compatible with induction cooking. Glass and ceramic vessels, pots and the stainless steel vessels with non-magnetic aluminium bottom should not be used.

Saucepan recognition-focusing system

In induction cooking, only the area covered by the vessel on the relevant cooking zone is energised. The vessel's bottom is recognised by the system and only this area is heated automatically. Cooking stops if the cooking vessel is

lifted from the cooking zone during cooking. Selected cooking zone and "L" symbol flashes alternately.

Safe use

Do not select high heating levels when you will use a non-sticking (teflon) saucepan with no oil or with very little oil. Do not put metal items such as forks, knives or saucepan covers onto your hob since they can get heated. Never use aluminium foil for cooking. Never place food items wrapped with aluminium foil onto the cooking zone.

If there is an oven under your hob and if it is running, sensors of the hob can decrease the cooking level or turn off the hob.

When the hob is running, keep items with magnetic properties such as credit cards or cassettes away from the hob.

Using induction cooking zones safely and efficiently

Operating principles: Induction hob heats directly the cooking vessel as a feature of its operating principles.

Therefore, it has various advantages

when compared to other hob types. It operates more efficiently and the hob surface does not heat up. Induction hob is equipped with superior safety systems that will provide you maximum usage safety.

Your hob can be equipped with induction cooking zones with a diameter of 145, 180, 210-280 mm depending on the model. With induction feature, each cooking zone detects each vessel placed on them. Energy builds up only where the vessel contacts with the cooking zone and thus, minimum energy consumption is achieved.

Operation time constraints

The hob control is equipped with an operation time limit. When one or more cooking zones are left on, the cooking zone will automatically be deactivated after a certain period of time (see Table-1). If there is a timer assigned to the cooking zone, the timer display will also turn off later.

Operation time limit depends on the selected temperature level. Maximum operation time is applied at this temperature level.

The cooking zone may be restarted by the user after it is turned off automatically as described above.

Table-1: Operation time limits

7	1,5

Temperature level	Operation time limit - hour
8	1,5
9	20-30 minutes
P (Booster)	5-10 minutes (*)
(*) The hob will drop to level 9 after 5 minutes

Overheating protection

Your hob is equipped with some sensors ensuring protection against overheating. The following may be observed in case of overheating:

• Active cooking zone may be turned off.
- Selected level may drop. However, this condition cannot be seen on the indicator.

Overflow safety system

Your hob is equipped with overflow safety system. If there is any overflow that spills onto the control panel, system will cut the power connection immediately and turn off your hob. "F" warning appears on display during this period.

Precise power setting

Induction hob reacts the commands immediately as a feature of its operating principles. It changes the power settings very fast. Thus, you can prevent a cooking pot (containing water, milk and etc.) from overflowing even if it was just about to overflow.

Noises

User may hear noises while cooking

During using the hob there may be some noises depending on the base material of the pots. These noises are a normal part of induction technology. It is not a defect.

Possible noise causes and types:

Fan noise

The hob has a fan which activates automatically according to temperature of the product. Fan has different driving

levels and according the temperature it is activated different levels.

Low buzzing noise like transformer operation

This is nature of the induction technology. Since heat is directly tranferred to cookware base, there may be such buzzing noise depending on the material of the cookware. Therefore user can hear different noises with different cookwares.

Crakling

There may be crakling noises while cooking. This is because of the material and construction of the cookware base. If cookware is made of different layers with different materials, crakling noise may occur.

Whistling noises

There may be whistling noises while cooking two hotplates on same side of the hob with different cooking levels.

Empty pot

Noise can be heard if an empty pot is heated. When you put water or food in it, this sound will clear away.

If the surface of the touch control panel is exposed to intense vapor, the entire control system may become deactivated and give error signal.

Keep the surface of the touch control panel clean. Erroneous operation may be observed.

5 Maintenance and care

General information

Service life of the product will extend and the possibility of problems will decrease if the product is cleaned at regular intervals.

Disconnect the product from mains supply before starting maintenance and cleaning works. There is the risk of electric shock!

Allow the product to cool down before you clean it. Hot surfaces may cause burns!

• Clean the product thoroughly after each use. In this way it will be possible to remove cooking residues more easily, thus avoiding these from burning the next time the appliance is used.
• No special cleaning agents are required for cleaning the product. Use warm water with washing liquid, a soft cloth or sponge to clean the product and wipe it with a dry cloth.
  • Always ensure any excess liquid is thoroughly wiped off after cleaning and any spillage is immediately wiped dry.
• Do not use cleaning agents that contain acid or chloride to clean the stainless or inox surfaces and the handle. Use a soft cloth with a liquid detergent (not abrasive) to wipe those parts clean, paying attention to sweep in one direction.

The surface might get damaged by some detergents or cleaning materials.

Do not use aggressive detergents, cleaning powders/creams or any sharp objects during cleaning. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass.

Do not use steam cleaners to clean the appliance as this may cause an electric shock.

Cleaning the hob

Glass ceramic surface

Wipe the glass ceramic surface (vitroceramic) with cold water, paying attention to leave no residual cleaning agents, and dry with a soft clothing. Residues may cause damage on the glass ceramic surface when using the hob for the next time.

Dried residues on the glass ceramic surface (vitroceramic) should under no circumstances be scraped with hook blades, steel wool or similar tools.

Remove calcium stains (yellow stains) with commercially available lime remover or a small amount of lime remover such as vinegar or lemon juice.

If the surface is heavily soiled, apply the cleaning agent on a sponge and wait until it is absorbed well. Then, clean the surface of the hob with a damp cloth.

Sugar-based foods such as thick cream and syrup must be cleaned promptly without waiting the surface to cool down. Otherwise, glass ceramic surface may get damaged permanently.

Slight color fading may occur on coatings or other surfaces in time. This does not affect the operation of the product.

Color fading and stains on the glass ceramic surface is a normal condition, and not a defect.

Does Blomberg offer replacements?

This is a repair-only guarantee. On occasion, the Manufacturer may at its sole discretion, replace your product with a new product instead of carrying out a repair. Where a replacement is offered, this would normally be an identical model but when this is not possible, a model of similar specification will be provided. The Manufacturer will cover the costs and arrange for the delivery of the new product and for the return of the old product. Any costs related to disconnecting the faulty product and installing the replacement product will not be borne by the Manufacturer unless previously agreed to in writing. The original guarantee will continue to apply to the replacement product; the new product will not come with a new guarantee.

When will the repair take place?

Our Engineers work Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm. Appointments outside these hours may be possible at the sole discretion of the Manufacturer but cannot be guaranteed. Whilst our Engineers will endeavour to minimize inconvenience and to meet requests for specific timed appointments, this cannot be guaranteed. We will not be liable for delays or if it is unable to carry out a repair because a convenient appointment cannot be arranged.

Will there be any charge for the repairs?

It is your responsibility to provide evidence to the Engineer that your product is covered by this guarantee with a proof of purchase. The Manufacturer reserves the right to charge for the reasonable cost of any service call if:

• You cannot provide evidence that your product is covered by this guarantee.
• Where a service call has been made and the engineer finds that there is no fault with your product.
- That your product has not been installed or operated in accordance with the User Instructions Booklet.
- That the fault was caused by something other than faulty materials, defective components or manufacturing defects.
• For missed appointments.

Payment of these costs are due immediately upon the Engineer providing you with an invoice. The Manufacturer reserves the right to terminate the guarantee if you fail to pay the costs for the service call in a timely manner.

If you are a resident of the United Kingdom, this guarantee will be governed by English law and subject to the English Courts, save where you live in another part of the United Kingdom, in which case the law and courts of that location will apply.
