Introduction

This hob has been designed for the real lover of cooking. Cooking on an induction hob has a number of advantages. It is easy, because the hob responds quickly and can also be set to a very low power level. As it can also be set to a high power level, it comes to the boil very quickly. The ample space between the cooking zones makes cooking comfortable.

Cooking on an induction hob is different from cooking on a traditional appliance. Induction cooking makes use of a magnetic field to generate heat. This means that you cannot use just any pan on it. The section on pans gives more information about this.

For optimum safety, the induction hob is equipped with various temperature protections and a residual heat indicator, which shows which cooking zones are still hot.

This manual describes how you can make the best possible use of the induction hob. In addition to information about operation, you will also find background information to assist you in using this product, as well as cooking tables and maintenance tips.

First read the user instructions carefully and completely before starting to use the appliance, and keep them safely for future reference.

The manual also serves as reference material for service technicians. That is why you should stick the appliance identification card supplied in the space provided at the back of the manual. The appliance identification card contains all the information that the service technician will need in order to respond appropriately to your questions.

Happy cooking!

Read the separate safety instructions before use.

Temperature safety

- Each cooking zone is equipped with a sensor. This sensor measures the temperature of the base of the pan and the sections of the hob to avoid any risk of overheating, for example, a pan boiling dry. In case of temperatures rising too high, the power of the cooking zone/hob is reduced or shut off automatically.

Cooking-time limiter

• If a cooking zone is on for an unusually long time, it will be switched off automatically.
• Depending on the setting you have chosen, the cooking time will be limited as follows:

Cooking level	The cooking zone switches off automatically after:
1 8 hours
2 6 hours
3 5 hours
4 5 hours
5 4 hours
6 1.5 hours
7 1.5 hours
8 1.5 hours
9 1.5 hours
boost (P) 1.5 hours	(zones RA and LV)

The cooking-time limiter switches the cooking zones off when the above-stated time has elapsed.

Operation of the touch-sensitive buttons

If you are used to different controls, it can take time to get used to operating the hob using the touch-sensitive buttons. For optimum working, place your finger tips flat on the buttons. You don't have to push hard.

The touch sensors have been set in such a way that they only react to the pressure and size of finger tips. The hob can't be operated with other objects and won't, for instance, be switched on if your pet walks over the hob.

Induction cooking

Induction cooking is fast

- To start with you will be surprised by the speed of induction cooking. Especially at higher settings, foods and liquids will come to the boil very rapidly. It is best not to leave pans unattended to avoid them boiling over or boiling dry.

Illustration of a cooking pot on a stove (no text or symbols)

With induction cooking there is no heat loss and handles stay cool.

The power level adjusts itself.

- In induction cooking, only the zone on which the pan in placed is used. If you use a small pan on a large zone, the power will be adjusted to the diameter of the pan. The power will thus be lower and it will take longer before the food in the pan comes to the boil.

Please note

• Grains of sand may cause scratches which cannot be removed. Only put pans with a clean base on the cooking surface and always pick pans up to move them.
• Do not use the hob as a worktop.
  • To avoid energy loss, always keep the lid on the pan when cooking.

Induction sounds

Ticking sound

A light ticking sound is caused by the capacity limiter on the front and back zones. A soft ticking sound can also occur at lower settings.

Pan makes sounds

The pan can make sounds during cooking. This is caused by the energy flowing from the hob to the saucepan. This is normal for certain saucepans, particularly at high settings. This is not harmful for the pans or the hob.

Ventilator makes sounds

In order to increase the lifespan of electronic components, the appliance is fitted with a ventilator. If you use the appliance intensively, the ventilator will be switched on and you will hear a humming sound. The ventilator can also make sounds after you have switched off the appliance.

Pans

Pans for induction cooking

Induction cooking requires a particular type of pan.

Please note

• Pans that have already been used for cooking on a gas hob are no longer suitable for use on an induction hob.
• Only use pans that are suitable for electric and induction cooking with:

▶a thick base of a minimum of 2.25 mm;
▶a flat base.

- The best pans are those with the ‘Class Induction’ quality mark.

Tip

You can use a magnet to check whether your pans are suitable. A pan is suitable if the base of the pan is attracted by the magnet.

Suitable Unsuitable
Special stainless steel pans Earthenware
Class Induction Stainless steel
Solid enamelled pans Porcelain
Enamelled cast-iron pans Copper
	Plastic
	Aluminium

Please note

Be careful with thin enamelled sheet steel pans:

• the enamel may come loose from the steel at high settings if the pan is too dry;
  • high power level settings may cause the base of the pan to warp.

Please note

Never use pans with a misshapen base. A hollow or rounded base can interfere with the operation of the overheating protection, causing the appliance to become too hot. This may lead to the glass top cracking and the pan base melting. Damage caused by using unsuitable pans or boiling dry is excluded from the guarantee.

Minimum pan diameter

The minimum diameter for the pan base is 11 cm. The best results are achieved by using a pan with the same diameter as the cooking zone. If a pan is too small the zone will not work.

Pressure cookers

Induction cooking is very suitable for pressure cookers.

The fast-reacting cooking zone brings the pressure cooker to pressure quickly. As soon as you switch a cooking zone off, the dish stops cooking immediately.

Tip

Set the hob to child lock mode before starting to clean the hob. This will prevent you from switching on the hob by accident.

Cooking-timer/alarm

A cooking-timer can be set for each cooking zone. The hob also has an alarm. Both the cooking-timer as well as the alarm can be set for a maximum of 99 minutes. The alarm works in the same way as the cooking-timer, but is not linked to a cooking zone. If the alarm has been set, it will continue counting down after the hob has been switched off. The alarm can only be switched off when the hob is switched on.

An ‘A’ will appear in the display alternating with the selected cooking level.

The table below shows the cooking levels and the corresponding boost times.

Cooking level	Boost time (minutes:seconds)
1 0:48
2 2:24
3 3:36
4 5:24
5 6:48
6 2:00
7 2:48
8 3:36
9 -:-

Switching off

1. Press the menu button of the desired cooking zone.
2. Select another cooking level using the slide control. The boost switches off automatically.

Two cooking zones behind each other

- Two cooking zones that are behind each other influence each other. The power is automatically distributed when these cooking zones are used at the same time. This does not have any consequences up to setting 9. Selecting the Boost setting for one of the cooking zones, however, automatically switches the other cooking zone to a lower setting.

• If one of the cooking zones is set to boost and you want to set the other zone to setting 9 or Boost, the cooking zone that is set to boost will automatically be switched to a lower setting.
• Two cooking zones that are beside each other do not influence each other.

Cooking levels

Because the settings depend on the quantity and composition of the contents of the pan, the table below is intended as a guideline only.

Use 'boost' setting and setting 9 to:

• bring food or liquid to the boil quickly;
• 'shrink' greens;
• heat oil and fat;
• bring a pressure cooker up to pressure.

Use setting 8 to:

• sear meats;
• fry fish;
• fry omelets;
• fry boiled potatoes;
• deep-fry.

Use setting 7 to:

• fry thick pancakes;
• fry thick slices of breaded meat;
• fry up bacon;
• fry raw potatoes;
• make French toast;
• fry breaded fish.

Use settings 6 and 5 to:

• cook food through;
• defrost hard vegetables;
- fry thin slices of meat.

Use settings 1 to 4 to:

• simmer bouillon;
• stew meats;
• simmer vegetables;
• melt chocolate;
• melt cheese.

Cleaning

Tip

Activate the child lock before cleaning the hob.

Daily cleaning

• Although food spills cannot burn into the glass, we nevertheless recommend you clean the hob immediately after use.
  • For daily cleaning a damp cloth with a mild cleaning agent is best.
• Dry off with kitchen paper or a dry tea towel.

Stubborn stains

• Stubborn stains can also be removed with a mild cleaning agent, washing-up liquid, for example.
• Remove water circles and limescale with cleaning vinegar.
• Traces of metals (caused by sliding pans) can be difficult to remove. Special products are available for this.
• Use a glass scraper to remove food spills. Melted plastic and sugar are also best removed with a glass scraper.

Never use

• Never use abrasives. These leave scratches in which dirt and lime scale can accumulate.
  • Never use anything sharp such as steel wool or scourers.

General

If you notice a crack in the glass top (however small), switch the hob off immediately, unplug the hob, turn off the fuses or automatic fuses in the meter cupboard or, in the event of a permanent connection, set the switch in the power supply lead to zero. Then contact the Service Department.
