Important safety information

Warning - Danger of suffocation!

Packaging material is dangerous to children. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

Warning - Danger of death!

Risk of poisoning from flue gases being drawn back in.

Always ensure that there is an adequate supply of fresh air to the room if the appliance is being operated in air extraction mode at the same time as a non-room-sealed heating appliance is being operated.

Non-room-sealed heating appliances (e.g. gas-, oil-, wood- or coal-burning heaters, continuous flow heaters or water heaters) draw in combustion air from the room in which they are installed and discharge the exhaust gases outdoors through an exhaust gas system (e.g. a chimney). With the extractor hood switched on, air is extracted from the kitchen and the adjacent rooms - without an adequate supply of air, the air pressure falls below atmospheric pressure. Toxic gases from the chimney or the extraction shaft are sucked backed into the living space.

There must therefore always be an adequate supply of air.
A supply-air/air-extraction duct alone is not sufficient to ensure compliance with the limit.

It is only possible to safely operate the appliance if the pressure in the room in which the heating appliance is installed does not drop more than 4 Pa (0.04 mbar) below atmospheric pressure. This can be achieved if the air needed for combustion is able to enter through openings that cannot be sealed, for example through doors, windows, by means of a supply-air/air-extraction duct or by other technical means.

The exhaust air must not be conveyed into a functioning smoke or exhaust gas flue or into a shaft that is used to ventilate rooms in which heating appliances are installed.

If the exhaust air is to be conveyed into a nonfunctioning smoke or exhaust gas flue, you must obtain the consent of the heating engineer responsible.

Always consult the heating engineer responsible. They will be able to assess the house's entire ventilation setup and suggest the most appropriate ventilation measures. Unrestricted operation is possible if the extractor hood is operated exclusively in air recirculation mode.

Warning - Risk of fire!

• Hot oil and fat can ignite very quickly. Never leave hot fat or oil unattended. Never use water to put out burning oil or fat. Switch off the hotplate. Extinguish flames carefully using a lid, fire blanket or something similar.
• The hotplates become very hot. Never place combustible items on the hob. Never place objects on the hob.
• The appliance gets hot. Do not keep combustible objects or aerosol cans in drawers directly underneath the hob.
• The hob switches off automatically and can no longer be operated. It may switch on unintentionally at a later point. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
• Fatty deposits in the grease filter may catch fire. Regularly clean the grease filter. Never operate the appliance without a grease filter.
• When the ventilation system is switched on, fatty deposits in the grease filter may catch fire. Never work with naked flames close to the appliance (e.g. flambéing). Do not install the appliance near a solid fuel heating appliance (e.g. wood- or coal-burning) unless a sealed, non-removable cover is fitted. There must be no flying sparks.

Warning - Risk of burns!

• The hotplates and surrounding area (particularly the hob surround, if fitted) become very hot. Never touch the hot surfaces. Keep children at a safe distance.
• The hotplate heats up but the display does not work. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
  Metal objects on the hob quickly become very hot. Never place metal objects (such as knives, forks, spoons and lids) on the hob.
• After each use, always turn off the hob at the main switch. Do not wait until the hob turns off automatically after the pan is removed.
• The accessible parts become very hot when in operation. Never touch hot parts. Keep children at a safe distance.
• The appliance becomes hot during operation. If hot liquids penetrate the appliance, leave the appliance to cool before removing the metal grease filter or the overflow container.

Warning - Risk of electric shock!

Incorrect repairs are dangerous. Repairs may only be carried out and damaged power cables replaced by one of our trained after-sales technicians. If the appliance is defective, unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
- Do not use any high-pressure cleaners or steam cleaners, which can result in an electric shock.
A defective appliance may cause electric shock. Never switch on a defective appliance. Unplug the appliance from the mains or switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.
- Cracks or fractures in the glass ceramic may cause electric shocks. Switch off the circuit breaker in the fuse box. Contact the after-sales service.

Warning - Hazard due to magnetism!

The wireless temperature sensor is magnetic. The magnetic elements in it may damage electronic implants, e.g. pacemakers or insulin pumps. People fitted with electronic implants should therefore not carry the temperature sensor in their pockets and always keep it at least 10 cm away from their pacemaker or similar medical device.

Warning - Risk of injury!

• The wireless cooking sensor is equipped with a battery, which may become damaged if it is exposed to high temperatures. Remove the sensor from the cookware and store it away from any heat sources.
• The temperature sensor may be very hot when removing it from the saucepan. Wear oven gloves or use a tea towel to remove it.
• When cooking in a bain marie, the hob and cooking container could shatter due to overheating. The cooking container in the bain marie must not directly touch the bottom of the water-filled pot. Only use heat-resistant cookware.
• Saucepans may suddenly jump due to liquid between the pan base and the hotplate. Always keep the hotplate and saucepan bases dry.

Causes of damage

Caution!

• Rough pan bases may scratch the hob.
• Objects that are hard or sharp may damage the hob. Do not allow hard or sharp objects to fall on the hob.
  Heating cookware when empty may cause surface damage. Never leave empty cookware on the heat.
• Do not place hot pans on the control panel, the indicator area, or the hob frame. Doing so may cause damage.
• Never leave aluminium foil or plastic containers on hot hotplates as this may damage the hob. No not use oven liners.
  Using unsuitable cleaning products may cause surface damage, discolouration and stains. Only use cleaning products that are suitable for this type of hob.
  Friction from pots and pans may cause surface damage and discolouration. Always lift pots and pans up before repositioning them; do not slide them across the surface of the hob.
• Burnt-on food may cause surface damage and staining. Immediately remove any food that has boiled over using a glass scraper.
  Salt, sugar and sand may cause surface damage. Do not use the hob as a work surface or storage space.
  Using cookware with a rough base may cause surface damage. Check all cookware before use.
  Sugar and foods with a high sugar content may cause surface damage or conchoidal fracturing. Immediately remove any food that has boiled over using a glass scraper.

Environmental protection

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

Energy saving tips

Always use a matching lid for every item of cookware. Cooking without a lid consumes significantly more energy. Use a glass lid. Then you can see into the pan without raising the lid.
Use cookware with a flat base. Uneven bases increase the energy consumption.
Make sure that the diameter of the cookware base corresponds to the size of the cooking zone. Please note: Cookware manufacturers often specify the diameter of the top of the pan, which is usually larger than the diameter of the base of the pan.
- For small quantities, use small items of cookware. Using cookware that is large but barely filled requires a lot of energy.
Cook with as little water as possible. This saves energy and preserves the vitamins and minerals in vegetables.
- Switch to a lower heat setting in good time. This prevents energy from being wasted.
During cooking, ensure that there is a sufficient supply of air to enable the ventilation system to work efficiently and with a low level of operating noise.
- Adjust the fan speed to the amount of cooking vapour produced during cooking. Only use the intensive setting if needed. A lower fan speed consumes less energy.
If cooking produces large amounts of vapour, select a higher fan speed in good time. If the cooking vapour has already spread around the kitchen, the ventilation system will need to be operated for longer.
- Switch the appliance off when you are not using it.
Clean and (if required) replace the filter at regular intervals in order to increase the effectiveness of the ventilation system and to prevent the risk of fire.

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.

The wireless temperature sensor is battery-powered. Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally responsible manner.

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.

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"

Teppan Yaki and Grill for the Flex Zone

The Teppan Yaki and Grill accessories are ideal for the FlexZone and are perfect for using the frying sensor.

Grill

The Grill adapts to the Flex Zone. You can cook large and small quantities of meat, fish, fresh vegetables and bread with very little oil, healthily and easily. The grooved shape ensures that food absorbs less fat. The ease of operation makes it possible to grill dishes that look and taste like they have been cooked on a traditional grill. Add a little oil to the grill or the surface of the food to facilitate heat transfer.

Teppan Yaki

The Teppan Yaki enables you to cook meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, desserts and bread with very little oil, easily and healthily. The Teppan Yaki adapts perfectly to the Flex Zone. Direct contact with the plate and uniform heat transfer make it possible to retain the consistency, colour and succulence of the food when searing and browning.

The following table shows a selection of dishes and is arranged by food type. The temperature and the cooking time depend on the amount, the condition and the quality of the food.

Note: Set up the Flex Zone as a single cooking zone to ensure the function is activated correctly.
