Residual heat indicator

Warning! Risk of burns from residual heat. After being switched off, the cooking zones need some time to cool down. Look at the residual heat indicator .

Residual heat can be used for melting and keeping food warm.

The induction cooking zones create the heat required for cooking directly in the base of the cookware. The glass ceramic is merely heated by the residual heat of the cookware.

The cooling fan switches itself on and off depending upon the temperature of the electronics.

Operating the appliance

Use the induction cooking zones with suitable cookware.

Switching the appliance on and off

	Control panel Display Pilot light
Switch on	Touch ① for 2 seconds	⑧	lights up
Switch off	Touch ① for 1 second	H / none	goes out

After switching on, within approx. 10 seconds a heat setting or a function must be set, otherwise the appliance automatically switches itself off.

Switching the STOP+GO function on and off

The STOP+GO function simultaneously switches all cooking zones that are switched on to the keep warm setting and then back to the heat setting that was previously set. This function can be used to briefly interrupt and then continue the cooking process e.g. to take a telephone call.

	Control panel Display
To switch on	Touch STOP+GO
To switch off	Touch STOP+GO heat setting that was previously set (not automatic warm up function)

i Timer functions are not stopped by STOP+GO.
STOP+GO locks the whole control panel except the sensor field ①.

Using the automatic warm-up function

All cooking zones are equipped with an automatic warm up function When setting a heat setting using when starting from, the cooking zone switches to full power for a certain amount of time and then automatically switches back to the heat setting set.

	Control panel	possible heat set-tings	Display
Switch on (only when starting at 0)	Touch	1 to 8	8 (after 5 sec-ons)
Switch off	Touch	8 to 1 / 0	8 to 0

If during the automatic warm up a higher heat setting is selected, e.g. from to, the automatic warm up is adjusted.
If there is still residual heat on the cooking zone (display H), the automatic warm up is not performed.

The length of time that the automatic warm up function operates depends on the heat setting selected.

Power Management

The cooking zones have a maximum power available to them.

If this power range is exceeded by switching on the power function, Power Management reduces the heat setting of another cooking zone.

The display for this cooking zone alternates for two minutes between the set heat setting and the maximum possible heat setting. Thereafter the actual heat setting is displayed.

Example:

• If one or more sensor fields are covered for longer than approx. 10 seconds, e.g. by a pan placed upon it, a signal sounds and the cooking surface switches off automatically.
• If all cooking zones are switched off, the cooking surface automatically switches itself off after approx. 10 seconds.

Control panel

Moisture (e.g. a wet cloth) or liquid boiling over onto the control panel immediately switches all cooking zones off.

Cooking zones

• In the event of overheating (e.g. when a pan boils dry) the cooking zone automatically switches itself off. is displayed. Before being used again, the cooking zone must be set to and allowed to cool down.
• If cookware that is not suitable is used, flashes in the display and after 10 minutes the display for the cooking zone switches itself off.

Tips on Cooking and Frying

Information on acrylamides

According to the latest scientific knowledge, intensive browning of food, especially in products containing starch, can constitute a health risk due to acrylamides. Therefore we recommend cooking at the lowest possible temperatures and not browning foods too much.

Cookware for induction cooking zones

Cookware made of suitable
Steel, enamelled steel yes
Cast iron yes
Stainless steel if appropriately labelled by the manufacturer
Aluminium, copper, brass ---
Glass, ceramic, porcelain ---

Cookware for induction cooking zones is labelled as suitable by the manufacturer.

Test of suitability

Cookware is suitable for induction, if ...

• ... a little water is heated on an induction cooking zone set to heat setting 9 within a few seconds.
• ... a magnet sticks to the bottom of the cookware.

i Certain cookware can make noises when being used on induction cooking zones. These noises are not a fault in the appliance and do not affect operation in any way.

Pan size

Induction cooking zones adapt automatically to the size of the cookware bottom up to a certain limit. However the magnetic part of the cookware bottom must have a minimum diameter depending upon the size of the cooking zone.

On the 270 mm cooking zone, the minimum pan base diameter of 180 mm is marked by the inner circle.
The cookware must be placed centrally on the cooking zone.

Tips on energy saving

Place cookware on the cooking zone before it is switched on.

If possible, always place a lid on the cookware.

Service

In the "What to do if ..." section a number of malfunctions are listed that you can rectify yourself Look there first if a fault occurs.

Is it a technical fault?

If so, please contact your customer service centre. (You will find addresses and telephone numbers in the section "Customer Service Centres".)

Always prepare in advance for the discussion. This will make diagnosis of the problem easier and also make it easier to decide if a customer service visit is necessary:

Please make a note of the following information as accurately as possible:

What form does the fault take?
- Under what circumstances does the fault occur?

Prior to the telephone call it is important that you make a note of the following appliance code numbers that are given on the rating plate:

-model description,
- PNC code (9 digits),
S No code (8 digits).

We recommend that you record the code numbers here so that you always have them to hand:

Model:

PNC:

S-No:

When do you incur costs even during the warranty period?

• if you could have remedied the fault yourself using the fault table (see section "What to do if ..."),
• if the customer service technician has to make several journeys because he was not provided with all the relevant information before his visit and therefore,forexample,has to fetch spare parts.These multiple trips can be avoided if you prepare your phone call as described above.
