Environmental protection

In this section, you can find information about saving energy and disposing of the appliance.

Energy-saving advice

Always use the correct lid for each pan. Cooking without a lid uses a lot more energy. Use a glass lid to provide visibility and avoid having to lift the lid.
Use pans with flat bases. Bases that are not flat use a lot more energy.
- The diameter of the pan base must match the size of the hotplate. Please note: pan manufacturers usually provide the diameter for the top of the pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the pan base.
Use a small pan for small amounts of food. A large pan which is not full uses a lot of energy.
Use little water when cooking. This saves energy and preserves all the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
- Select the lowest power level to maintain cooking. If the power level is too high, energy is wasted.

Environmentally-friendly disposal

Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly manner.

This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment - WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Induction cooking

Advantages of induction cooking

Induction cooking is very different from traditional cooking methods, as heat builds up directly in the item of cookware. This offers numerous advantages:

Saves time when boiling and frying.
Saves energy.
Easier to care for and clean. Spilled food does not burn on as quickly.
- Heat control and safety - the hob increases or decreases the heat supply as soon as the user changes the setting. The induction hotplate stops the heat supply as soon as the cookware is removed from the hotplate, without having to switch it off first.

Cookware

Only use ferromagnetic cookware for induction cooking, such as:

Cookware made from enamelled steel
Cookware made from cast iron
- Special induction-compatible cookware made from stainless steel.

To check whether your cookware is suitable for induction cooking, refer to the section on "Cookware check".

To achieve a good cooking result, the ferromagnetic area on the base of the pan should match the size of the hotplate. If a hotplate does not detect an item of cookware, try placing it on another hotplate with a smaller diameter.

If the only hotplate being used is the flexible cooking zone, larger cookware that is particularly suited to this zone can be used. You can find information on positioning cookware in the section on "Flex Zone".

Some induction cookware does not have a fully ferromagnetic base:

If the base of the cookware is only partially ferromagnetic, only the area that is ferromagnetic will heat up. This may mean that heat will not be distributed evenly. The non-ferromagnetic area may not heat up to a sufficient temperature for cooking.

• The ferromagnetic area will also be reduced if the material from which the base of the cookware is made contains aluminium, for example. This may mean that the cookware will not become sufficiently hot or even that it will not be detected.

Unsuitable pans

Never use diffuser hobs or pans made from:

common thin steel
glass
earthenware
copper
aluminium

Properties of the base of the cookware

The material(s) from which the base of the cookware is made can affect the cooking result. Using pots and pans made from materials that distribute heat evenly through them, such as stainless-steel pans with a three-layer base, saves time and energy.

Use cookware with a flat base; if the base of the cookware is uneven, this may impair the heat supply.

Absence of pan or unsuitable size

If no pan is placed on the selected hotplate, or if it is made of unsuitable material or is not the correct size, the power level displayed on the hotplate indicator will flash. Place a suitable pan on the hotplate to stop the flashing. If this takes more than 90 seconds, the hotplate will switch off automatically.

Empty pans or those with a thin base

Do not heat empty pans, nor use pans with a thin base. The hob is equipped with an internal safety system. However, an empty pan may heat up so quickly that the "automatic switch off" function may not have time to react and the pan may reach very high temperatures. The base of the pan could melt and damage the glass on the hob. In this case, do not touch the pan and switch the hotplate off. If it fails to work after it has cooled down, please contact the Technical Assistance Service.

Pan detection

Each hotplate has a lower limit for pan detection. This depends on the diameter of the ferromagnetic area of the cookware and the material from which its base is made. For this reason, you should always use the hotplate that best matches the diameter of the base of the pan.

Residual heat indicator

The hob has a residual heat indicator for each hotplate. This indicates that a hotplate is still hot. Do not touch a hotplate while the residual heat indicator is lit up.

The following are shown depending on the amount of residual heat:

Display H: High temperature
Display h: Low temperature

If you remove the cookware from the hotplate during cooking, the residual heat indicator and the selected heat setting will flash alternately.

When the hotplate is switched off, the residual heat indicator will light up. Even after the hob has been switched off, the residual heat indicator will stay lit for as long as the hotplate is still warm.

Chef's recommendations

Recommendations

• When heating up puree, cream soups and thick sauces, stir occasionally.
  Set heat setting 8 to 9 for preheating.
• When cooking with the lid on, turn the heat setting down as soon as steam escapes between the lid and the cookware. Steam does not need to escape for a good cooking result.
  After cooking, keep the lid on the cookware until you serve the food.
  To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not cook food for too long, otherwise the nutrients will be lost. The kitchen clock can be used to set the optimum cooking time.
  For a more healthy cooking result, smoking oil should be avoided.
  To brown food, fry small portions in succession.
  Cookware may reach high temperatures while the food is cooking. We recommend that you use oven gloves.
  You can find recommendations for energy-efficient cooking in section "Environmental protection"

Frying Sensor

This function can be used to fry food while maintaining the suitable frying pan temperature.

The cooking zones that have this function are identified by the roasting function symbol.

Advantages when frying

• The hotplate only heats up if this is required to maintain the temperature. This saves energy and prevents the oil or fat from overheating.
  The roasting function reports when the empty frying pan has reached the optimum temperature for adding oil and then for adding the food.

Notes

• Do not place a lid on the pan. Otherwise, the function does not activate correctly. You can use a splash guard to prevent splashes of grease.
  Use suitable oil or fat for frying. If butter, margarine, extra virgin olive oil or lard is used, set heat setting 1 or 2.
• Never leave a frying pan, with or without food, unattended when it is being heated.
  If the hotplate is a higher temperature than the cookware or vice versa, the frying sensor will not be activated correctly.

For frying with the frying sensor

Frying pans that are perfect for using with the frying sensor can be purchased from specialist retailers or through our technical after-sales service. Quote the relevant reference number:

HEZ390210 15 cm frying pan.
HEZ390220 19 cm frying pan.
HEZ390230 21 cm frying pan.
HEZ390250 28 cm frying pan. Only recommended for the 28 cm simple hotplate.

These frying pans have a non-stick coating so that you require only a small amount of oil to fry food.

Notes

• The frying sensor has been configured specifically for this type of frying pan.
• Ensure that the diameter of the base of the frying pan corresponds to the size of the hotplate. Put the frying pan in the centre of the hotplate.
  Using a frying pan of a different size or one that is poorly positioned on the flexible cooking zones may result in the frying sensor not being activated. See the section on "Flex Zone".
• Other frying pans may overheat. They may reach a temperature above or below the selected temperature setting. Try the lowest temperature setting to begin with and change it if necessary.
